From a live show by A Number of Young Lovers recorded in the living room of 4A Hartington Rd, Brighton, UK. There are two tracks here. Ladybird, Ladybird is based on a old nursery rhyme and Engine is a love song about someone across the sea.
Lyrics
Ladybird, Ladybird
Fly away home.
Fly away home.
Your house is on fire.
Your children all roam.
Except little Nan
who sits in her pan
weaving her laces as fast as she can.
Engine
Pull out your engine,
pull him from the place
where you’d been
keeping him.
He’s tired,
but sturdy;
a good enough traction to
get you to me.
I’ll take it,
just bring it;
I’ve got a net
and a few yards to spare.
He’s tired,
but sturdy!
A good enough traction to
get you to me!
Mount him!
Fly him!
Across the
deep blue sea.
I need your diesel,
I need your sweat.
When it’s cold,
I need you to start.
I need your diesel,
I need your sweat.
When it’s cold,
I need you to start.
