about
This was one of the first songs we wrote as a band. My own goal with the music was to try and write a riff with very few notes in it. When it came to recording the album I got a rather late epiphany on how we could change it to incorporate more keyboards, which ended up with the song being rerecorded in the third recording session for the album. Sounds satisfactorily big now. (David)
lyrics
Archive the past, it’s consigned to history
Embrace the future, your man of mystery
Impatient, persistent, perhaps crazy too
I’m a man on a mission, that mission is you
I am the British angel of icebergs
And I’m here to save your blackened soul
Let us ride elephants, across fjords tonight
Nose to tail, over mountains, by candlelight
Your wish my command, with the Queen our slave
And under the duvet let us all misbehave
Embrace the future, your man of mystery
Impatient, persistent, perhaps crazy too
I’m a man on a mission, that mission is you
I am the British angel of icebergs
And I’m here to save your blackened soul
Let us ride elephants, across fjords tonight
Nose to tail, over mountains, by candlelight
Your wish my command, with the Queen our slave
And under the duvet let us all misbehave
