lyrics

You told me to shut-up.
Eyes shining, I’d a told me to
Shut-up too.
Are you threatening to blow it?
No, I wanna be in cahoots
With you.
It didn’t start to break my heart
Until this afternoon.
It didn’t start to break my heart
Until this afternoon.

Drive it like we stole it,
Through the snowflakes, into
The cold of the sun.
Through the lemon haze we
Drove it,
Saying, ‘I don’t want the free-
dom you want’.
We fought like two Irans.

I don’t want the freedom that
They do.
It didn’t start to break my heart
Until this afternoon.

Until this afternoon.

Dishwasher loaded,
The clanging of the dishes
Betray my trembling hands.
The clanging of the dishes,
It didn’t start to break my heart
Until this afternoon.
It didn’t start to break my heart
Until this afternoon.

Until this afternoon.
Until this afternoon.
Until this afternoon.

As a lifelong fan of psyche, I was delighted to have found this, stunned that I'd missed them for three decades and devastated by the news of Dallas' passing. Makes many of the album's lyrics even more poignant. I hear echoes of the Chocolate Watch Band, Long Ryders and both the pop and country sides of the Byrds. Stunning, and a contender for my album of the year. Iain H
