London Bridge

Today's song is by a local band that seem to be doing all the right things. The Graeme Watkins Project are a band that really grow on you. While the studio version of "London Bridge" is getting a lot of radio play, it was the acoustic version I heard on The Expresso Show that really caught my attention.

This is another I'm not quite sure I get. From what I can tell it's more a story of a break up that's in the process of happening. I wonder if you really can live 2 very separate lives after a significant relationship?

I am the catalyst pumping my iron fist up to the sky
The stars are falling falling falling to the ground
I really must insist you hike up your new dress
And watch my eyes caress your thighs and then we roll around like this

Because
London bridge is burning down
Everyone from miles around
Dim the lights in china town for me
Stamp your feet upon the ground
Feel the ripples rippling down
From here to cincinnati

You are the catalyst
Thumping your iron fist
Against my chest
I guess i guess that's why i'm always second best
We'll split the earth into half for me half for you
And turn the ocean floor to glass and sit and watch as hours pass

Because
London bridge is burning down
Everyone from miles around
Dim the lights in china town for me
Stamp your feet upon the ground
Feel the ripples rippling down
From here to cincinnati

London bridge is burning down
Everyone from miles around
Dim the lights in china town for me
Stamp your feet upon the ground
Feel the ripples rippling down
From here to cincinnati
From here to cincinnati


Is half of the world really enough?
