Lyrics

[Guillaume]

There are, however, songs that I'd love to know more about, the tragic-story ones... Like ''Leeds Road 3AM'' and ''Disappeared''.

Justin said in an interview for a french music magazine back in early 2000's that he was a witness for what happens at the end of the "Leeds road 3am" song...very sad story but fantastic song though, one of Justin's best.

And 8 is right, a book, maybe a memories book, written by JS...would be great!

(A few years ago there were rumours of a french book written about the band...but unfortunately nothing new...for the moment at least)

Thank you Guillaume! It's been one of my favourite songs also, but just realised I don't listen to it that often... The ending gets me every time, pretty heavy feeling.

Yes it's a beautifully written and built song, and the music (bass and drums) is brillant too.
EIGHT is an underrated album among the NMA fanbase...at least for stunning songs like this one and "Someone like Jesus", "You weren't there", "Orange tree roads", etc.

I vaguely remember on Joolz' twitter feed she mentioned Leeds Road 3AM was a true story.  Haunting song.

"Jesus" has a real Leonard Cohen feel to it. Was it someone like Jesus, or the real Jesus?

The prayer preceding all prayers is, ‘May it be the real I who speaks. May it be the real Thou that I speak to.’
- C. S. Lewis
