lyrics

Blanket laid out on the grass,
She fell asleep in a park by the river.
With her head on my lap
She softly sighs.
I whisper 'thank you' to the sky
I don't want to disturb her -
Pull her from her dream.
She's stuck in this place of discontent
And I wish I could ease her pain

She said 'Take me back to London,
I'm growing tired of New York'
I said 'No matter where you go,
If you close your eyes, the view is the same'

Took a tour of her home town,
Broke into her old school.
She pulled me close
And held me tight
As I kissed her in the playground.
With a gentle touch to comfort her,
Her hair falls across her face.
She's struggling to find the words,
So I kiss her again.

And she said 'Take me back to London,
I'm growing tired of New York'
I said 'No matter where you go,
If you close your eyes, the view is the same'

And she said 'Take me back to London,
I'm growing tired of New York'
I said 'No matter where you go,
If you close your eyes...

about

The Pocket Symphony Orchestra UK

Barry and Darren met in the summer of '99, discovering their mutual love of music and have been friends ever since. They started a band, which lasted six years before an indefinite hiatus was called. They both began other projects but, when all of those folded, came together in 2012 to write and record again. This gradually developed into The Pocket Symphony Orchestra. ... more

The Radioactive Grandma
by The Radioactive Grandma

Doing so much with so little, this whirlwind of ferocious acoustic guitar, psychedelic electric guitar, and aggressive cajon, liberally sprinkled with sickly-sweet harmonies is a delight to behold. The Pocket Symphony Orchestra
