about

Acting as a sort of "flagship" rep, or a sentry "sitting duck" for the comeback album or EP by Typewriter - who last darkened the halls of popular music in 2010. It's gothic leanings are the indulgences of a horror movie fan, but it's theme is relevant to anyone who can relate to MES's wonderful tune "Living Too Late". I lifted the biblical sounding lines directly from Joan Didion's book 'The Year of Magical Thinking'.

lyrics

Twlight is round the corner
new shadows welcome thee
sirens sound and wind will howl
secrets spill so recklessly
no court can judge these crimes
some craft was lost at sea
out of light means out of sight
and we roam these lands mysteriously

No Eye is on the sparrow
no one is watching me
as it was in the beginning
it is now and ever shall be
World without end
all dissolution
phantoms ascend
the last of illusions

Blinding expose' - come the dawn
you mustn't dare wake me
deafening heartbeat - a false alarm
unless we're mistaken morning is breaking

Words are but wasted breath
grief has no distance here
through the halls and spirit calls
abandon hope beyond these walls
No Eye is on the sparrow
no one is watching me
as it was in the beginning
it is now and ever shall be
Off with my head
destiny hurts me
centuries dead
and heavens desert me

Underworld's stately
Morpheus take me.....

World without end....

Releasing 3 schizophrenic albums between 2003-2010, until Bandola formed RAMSGATE HOVERCRAFT (4 albums available on Bandcamp....) . In 2019 Bandola finally got the call to take a step back into the pop arena, and TYPEWRITER is reborn as tracks finally emerge this year. You will dig. ... more
