Del Amitri

Del Amitri were a Scottish alternative rock band, formed in Glasgow, Scotland in 1983. The band grew out of Justin Currie's Jordanhill College School band and came together after teenager Currie placed an advertisement in the window of a music store asking for people who could play to contact him. The band was formed with the original line-up of Currie (bass and vocals), Iain Harvie (lead guitar), Bryan Tolland (guitar) and Paul Tyagi (drums). Currie and Harvie are the only members of the band to remain present throughout its history. They are also the main songwriters of the group. more »

The World 
And the surrounding stars 
Might change completely in the space of an hour 
But not an eclipse of the sky nor a colliding car 
Will turn me back now that I've come this far
Not a shotgun blast nor a shooting star 
Will bring her back from her stubborn tower
It's a kind of madness, it's a kind of sin

To live in the state of mind I've been living in 
Her face imprinted on my sight 
Her voice resounding in my skull at night
If there is a living goddess on Earth 
It must be her from the heaven highlife 
It takes this girl to realize what you're worth 

And I'm worth nothing it she's worth more than my life
But there's more that me than simple devotion 
I won't just crawl at her feet and utter a plea 
And if she refused I wouldn't walk into the ocean 
Just because my world was left all out at sea
So it was in this cafe when we eventually met 

And I wished I had sunglasses and smoked cigarettes 
The World 
And the surrounding stars 
They change completely in the space of an hour 
When over the table and two cups of tea 
She told me she felt the same way about me

And not an eclipse of the sky nor a colliding car 
Could have shaken our attention from each other's face 
As we both jump down from our stubborn towers 
We jump into the ignorant heaven that is the lovers place
