Andrew Eldritch Is Moving Back to Leeds - The Mountain Goats[00:00:00]
There's indifference on the wind[00:00:09]
But a faint gust of hope[00:00:11]
At a club nobody goes to[00:00:13]
With a musty velvet rope[00:00:15]
Guys in Motörhead jackets[00:00:17]
Who knew him way back when[00:00:20]
Haven't raised a drink in years[00:00:22]
But now meet up again[00:00:25]
To remember how it was[00:00:27]
When they all thought they'd move away[00:00:28]
And ride in Lotus 7s[00:00:31]
Through the London streets one day[00:00:33]
Nobody ever gets away[00:00:38]
Even the best of us come back some day[00:00:47]
To the unmarked rooms where the dry dust breeds[00:00:55]
Andrew Eldritch is moving back to Leeds[00:01:04]
There's a rusted fog machine[00:01:20]
In a concrete storage space[00:01:22]
Letter number combinations[00:01:24]
With no meaning on its face[00:01:26]
They won't make these anymore[00:01:29]
It's a wooden coach-n-four[00:01:31]
No one will even steal it[00:01:33]
If you leave it by the door[00:01:35]
No sign to mark it's going[00:01:38]
No tombstone for its grave[00:01:40]
There will be goodbyes by dozens[00:01:42]
So practice being brave[00:01:44]
No one anticipates the rush[00:01:49]
The breezy feeling of the faceless crush[00:01:58]
At the ends of things where the salvage bleeds[00:02:06]
Andrew Eldritch is moving back to Leeds[00:02:15]
They don't throw him a parade[00:02:23]
He just comes in on a train[00:02:28]
One suitcase in his hand[00:02:31]
And an old army backpack[00:02:33]
From the second world war[00:02:35]
From a Leipzig secondhand store[00:02:37]
Pick the keys up from the agent[00:02:49]
Everything's been taken care of[00:02:51]
No big changes in the roadways[00:02:53]
Since you've left that I'm aware of[00:02:55]
A few old buildings gone to dust[00:02:57]
And some new ones in the way[00:03:00]
They'll look just like the old ones[00:03:02]
When the winds have had their say[00:03:04]
See the children bound for London[00:03:06]
You'll all be back too[00:03:09]
Everybody tests the membrane[00:03:11]
But no one pushes through[00:03:13]
Come on boys that'll be enough[00:03:18]
You'd think your old friends wouldn't play so tough[00:03:27]
Like a basket by the Nile hiding down among the reeds[00:03:36]
Andrew Eldritch is moving back to Leeds[00:03:44]
