This Perfect Solar Storm


Happy Valentines! Yes my dears, Ol' Greville and the Tombstones have the love bug today. And there aint none inoculation.

After the last release which was - and let's call a spade a shitting spade here - shitting dark, love has come to brighten up our day. After the darkness, the light is always the brightest. Sometimes to dangerous levels of brightness. And this love song, I hoped to be the ballad on the album (usual disclaimers), was to be that brightest of things - a dangerous love song.
However, I suspect it may have gone well, a bit wrong, a bit,  you know, Coldplay. Ah well. At least there are no plans to ever record this shambles of schmaltz. Unlike Coldplay. So really, 1-0 Greville and the Tombstones there.

Anyway, I do hope you read this over the candlelit table for two.

Greville and the Tomsbstones presents...


This perfect solar storm

Hair of wild sun flares
Eyes of piercing sky stares
Body over men will war
I have seen her
So many times before
She speaks so softly in E minor chord
Plays a room like pieces on a chessboard
A fire line smile flashes across the dark sky
The sky splinters down
Around where I lie
Tonight air is thunder torn
And I find myself wanting her to keep me warm
In this perfect solar storm
Always, in this perfect solar storm
I’ll stay, in this perfect solar storm
Never go away, in this perfect solar storm
Motives shine bright
Easy to be blinded by her light
Not brushed by the fire
Just trust me
You’re burned on a pyre
You’re but a sacrifice met on the altar
A trophy tribute placed gratefully on her
A fire line smile flashes across the dark sky
The sky splinters down
Around where I lie
Tonight air is thunder torn
And I find myself wanting her to keep me warm
In this perfect solar storm
Always, in this perfect solar storm
I’ll stay, in this perfect solar storm
Never go away, in this perfect solar storm
She’s blazing so hot
For all the things she hasn’t got
To the bone she’s bad
No man minds
Experiences they have had
They lie down prone at her feet gladly
In the temple of this sun goddess deity
A fire line smile flashes across the dark sky
The sky splinters down
Around where I lie
Tonight air is thunder torn
And I find myself wanting her to keep me warm
In this perfect solar storm
Always, in this perfect solar storm
I’ll stay, in this perfect solar storm
Never go away, in this perfect solar storm
I try to keep my distance
Not to be struck by insistence
Path of least resistance
I earth myself
Despite the beat’s persistence
I won’t accept a dance with her tonight
My soul lives in the dark, dies from her sight
She moves with grace
As if she own us and this place
She sways in my direction
I steal myself
How can I resist such perfection?
She makes me think I am the only one
I know I am the lonely one, ashes in her Sun
In this perfect solar storm
Always, in this perfect solar storm
I’ll stay, in this perfect solar storm
Never go away, in this perfect solar storm
And I find myself wanting her to keep me warm
In this perfect solar storm

Ooh, ooh, Ooh-Ooh, Ooh, ooh, Ooh-Ooh
A fire line smile flashes across the dark sky
The sky splinters down
Around where I lie
Tonight air is thunder torn
And I find myself wanting her to keep me warm
In this perfect solar storm
In this perfect solar storm
