Starplane.mp3 (vocal version, lyrics by SW) - [live, SL, SW, CB, RB] 4:07 An oddity here, this was the one and only
time we ever put Starplane to lyrics, and we were playing 'as live' in
rehearsal rooms. Simon had the words and we had a go at fitting them.
It was an experiment! At the time, we rejected the idea and never
revisited the concept, but in hindsight I'm rather fond of the mashup
and it's here for interest's sake. Just forgive the clumsy vocal
phrasing! ![]() In a field of corn His hope was all gone When they came crashing down They came down hard They made a mark as big As the field was wide And they all died A girl walks alone Following a path inside Thinking not of herself But of a rising tide She talks, but to no one In that same field of corn Follows the starplane that died A thousand years 'fore she was born The memory of that day when a starplane came that way wounded by a war that she wasn't fighting for her memory has faded now but the starplane still lies underground holding close for ever more the shattered body of the boy |
