lyrics

Suit of Nettles

He was working at the factory
On a holiday weekend
When he saw the full moon shining
Through a window above his head
He worked out all the hours
He’d wasted in his life
They weren’t far short of all the hours
Of his life

Now he wears a suit of nettles
And he carries a cheap guitar
He roams from town to town
He roams from bar to bar

Suit of Nettles, suit of nettles.

His wife could never trace him
His kids call another man dad
There’s a fading photo in a police station
But no-one wants him back
Now he spends his nights under the moon and stars
He spends his days playing that old guitar

One day he met a promoter
Who bought him a suit of nettles
And put him on a stage of lights
He played for twenty minutes
Got stage fright, walked off into the night

Now he wears a suit of nettles
And he plays a cheap guitar
He roams from town to town
He roams from bar to bar

Suit of Nettles, suit of nettles.

about

trailer star Nottingham, UK

It’s hard going at times but glory can come from misery. The fragility and the feeling of being on the edge of toppling over is balanced by the skeletal beauty of the songs.
Paul Kerr - Blabber n' Smoke
