2001년 형제인 GREG과 AARON GILBERT를 중심으로 결성되어 영국 사우스 햄튼의 로컬밴드로 출발, 데뷔 앨범을 발매 후 가장 촉망받는 영국 록계의 앙팡테리블로 평가받고 있는 DELAYS의 첫 출사표. 앨범 발매 전 U.K. 차트를 강타했던 “HEY GIRL", "LONG TIME COMING"를 비롯하여 총 11곡의 수록곡을 담고 있다. 블러와 오아시스가 브릿팝씬을 양분하던 90년대 중반 “CORKY”라는 이름으로 잠시 활동했으나 따뜻하고 촉촉한 음악이 환영받지 못하던 당시의 분위기 때문에 곧 사장되었던 아픈 기억을 뒤로하고, DELAYS라는 새 이름으로 다소 늦어진DELAYED 전성기를 구가하고 있다. 흔히 ‘천상의 보컬’로 불리는 YES의 JOHN ANDERSON을 무색케 할 정도의 천사의 목소리로 노래하는 GREG GILBERT의 음성과, 따뜻하고 달콤한 서정을 담은 기타 팝 사운드가 감동적으로까지 다가오는 작품이다.
Can you hear that knocking in your soul No, you don′t listen Can you hear that knocking overload No, you don′t listen Never see the high beyond the low No wonder, you lay twitching Do you share the rush to be alone Come over, we′ll go missing We′ll go where there′s no snow We′ll go and they won′t know Just please don′t give me your word Do do do, do do do do do do ah ah ah Can you hear that knocking in your soul No, you don′t listen We′ll go where there′s no snow Just please don′t give me your word Just please don′t give me your word Do do do, do do do do do do ah ah ah All that matters is the music tonight Just please don′t give me your, All that matters is the music, but you don′t listen Well, we′ll run and run until we start again Yea we′ll we′ll run run and run away Yea well, we′ll run and run until we start again Yea we′ll run run and run away
You are nearer than heaven I get the feeling I get nearer by the day I′ve seen the people go forever descending It′s when we′re all inside That summer′s on the way
Bullet took it easy dollar lit the room Monsters making the evening news Packing up a round trip, I get in the way
Now I know that You are nearer than heaven I get the feeling I get nearer by the day I′ve seen the people go forever descending It′s when we′re all inside That summer′s on the way
We could talk forever Nothing would get done Stake your claim on the morning sun I get in the way
Now I see that you are Clearer than heaven I get the feeling I get nearer by the day I′ve seen the people go forever descending It′s when we′re all inside That summer′s on the way Yeah Yeah
I′ve seen you hanging from blistering skies Holding yourself with a grace that defies Law after law as well spit in the eye Fall on me when you come down
You′ve seen me panic and kick without sight Of any danger except what I might Know of myself and see in you tonight Fall on me when you come down
The air is thin and hard to breath With sweetness that you lost to me Despite the noose around that kiss I try to tell myself this is No ending
Seeing you buzzing from flickering signs Bringing on warnings of incoming fire Blood on your hands from the tongue of a liar Fall on me when you come down
The air is thin and hard to breath With sweetness that you lost to me Despite the noose around that kiss I try to tell myself this is No ending It′s no ending
Leaving alone and I see you′re still breathing Head out of sight, but the neon′s deceiving There is no danger of you getting anywhere here
I know I′m prone to rushing in With no pretence of listening Despite this noose around our kiss I try to tell myself this is No ending It′s no ending
Oh Hey baby there′s something wrong You burnt away, you wear the sun, And maybe I slept too Long And missed the game and now you′re gone You wear the sun
If I could I would leave You alone
And baby, put down your gun And turn away you wear the sun Maybe I should Have told you I′m no fun Before P.M. and now you′re gone You wear the sun
If I could I would leave you alone
There′s a daisy chain tying me Down to the field of Play Ooh Such an open face, You′re leaving me nothing But hope to chase Ooh You wear The sun
Hey girl Where in the world did you come from Hey girl Where in the world do you belong Hey girl Watching you walk is like a dream Hey girl You′ve got nerve and you sure got me
As I wanted Singing lost and found Like a fever running We could clear this town
Hey girl Where in the world did you come from Hey girl Nobody knows where you belong
So why don′t you tell me You′re hanging above me There′s room everywhere And I can′t walk on air
Hey girl Hey girl
Hey girl Where in the world did you come from Hey girl Never return ′cause you belong
This satellites lost, Where has the fire gone Down deeper he knows, There′s Still a chance to find it But should he stay lost, You are the reason you are the Cause This satellite′s lost, But I know that he wants you
I know you′re there, I can Hear you breathe It only takes a minute
To get yourself lost watching the day Dissolve Down deeper he knows, There′s still a chance to find it
I know you′re there, I can hear you breathe It only takes a minute And though you′re there you can surely Leave It only takes a minute Oh no
