about

What's the opposite of "first" in the sentence "love at first sight"? Well, whatever it is, that's what this songs about.

lyrics

I saw you but I didn’t want to know your name,
When you came over and asked to join our game of cards.
You came and sat down next to me, with a strange smile,
And nose running constantly, which you wiped on your sleeve.
And I asked if you were from the other side of town, where the sun goes down.
But you said, “no. I’m from where the sun goes up, on the other side of town.”

So who’s this strange girl sitting next to me.
Saying strange things but acting kind of free. Is she free.
All night long you kept saying funny things. ‘Till from your stories,
I noticed you had wings, which you used, when you flew away.
Someone’s crying on the other side of town, where the sun goes down,
While we are, where the sun goes up, on the other side of town.

“Where are you? Now I want to know your name”
“Where are you? I want to play with you again”

Then there you were in the corner of the room.
I came to you like a child to a balloon.
But you got up and left me staring at the wall, your glass of wine,
Looked like it was about to fall but it was me, that was about to fall.
Now I’m waiting on the other side of town, where the sun goes down
While you are, where the sun goes up, on the other side of town.

Neil Nayar London, UK

I'm just one of those people who always finds myself in crazy situations in love and in life. I'm not sure if it's good for my sanity, but it does make for fun and interesting songs.

I came to Malawi in 2012 with a one-way ticket, a guitar and no money, carrying on from the hobo life I'd lived that year busking on the streets of Holland and Spain.

It's all in the stories ... more
