Postcards

(album: Sunday 8 PM - 1999)

[Dido]
My love has gone
His boots no longer by my door
He left at dawn and as I slept, I felt him go
(Loop of Erik Satie, as in Pet Shop Boys' Jack The Lad)

[Maxi Jazz]
New York, New York, temperature's dropping
The band's out shopping, not stopping 'til ears pop
Cops protect shops, lots of yellow cabs and bellhops
And it never stops
I'm waiting to do an interview, so much to tell you
Today I feel close enough to smell you
Additional dates they were planning just fell through
Florida's out
We fly September 22 to Heathrow,
but there's not really long to go
Tonight will be a brilliant show
Letting you know I miss you
More than four hits the floor at a party
Send my love to everybody
Please, send my love to everybody
(everybody everybody everybody...)
Send my love to everybody
(everybody everybody everybody...)

Honey, I'm writing from D.C., feeling queasy
Staying healthy on the road isn't easy
The TM recommends an antigen
One of them could resist again
I miss you like a lock in the door
What's more, I go to sleep with my Walkman
'cause half the crew snored
Don't mean to be a bore, everybody's been great,
But there's fifteen of us in a bus state-to-state
So I stay up late with a tape, or meditate
My bed is travelling at fifty-five m.p.h.
When we make it to LA, I'll still be miles away
It's not my best day
I'm a get some rest, God bless

[Dido]
My love has gone
(wo wo)
My love has gone
(has has has ...)
(wo wo)

[Maxi Jazz]
We just stopped a diner so I'm taking time to write a few lines
I'm fine, sunshine, the bus driver's
reclining by the grass as the trucks pass
Gleaming with the flash of sunlight from the glass on the windscreen
As for us, there's too much to relate
We've done five gigs, yet we're only in our third state
America's big, you'd love how they pile up your plate
Only place in the world even I can gain weight
Our next date is Wilmington, Delaware
Open air, there's a rumor Melle Mel'll be there
Anyway, all my love, God bless, I'm yawning
I really miss watching you get dressed in the morning

[Dido]
My love has gone
(wo wo)
My love has gone
(wo wo)
My love has gone
No earthly ships will ever
Bring him home
