about

"Like Lou Reed guesting with BMX Bandits" - a muso geek

lyrics

suzy's room is full of paintings. 47 if you count them up
hanging on every wall

there's a lempicka, an ingermann, a sutter and van dongen
a churchill and 42 more

every style is here, every nation represented
a history of the twentieth century in one room

and all you'll see, dream or reality
is just Suzy's face gazing back at you

suzy, paint your face again

born in 1900, as suzanne rocher
you changed your name to suzy solidor

first a model and then a singer, you invited your admirers
to put down on paper their ideal of you

each one different, each the same, each one another version
of the truth you dared to show

and then you'll see, your dream reality
suzy's face gazing back at you

high up on the hillside, in the village, in a castle
is a room you learned to call your own

in later years you lived there, with the paintings on the walls
making plans for a future beyond you

never separated, never blinking, always on display,
they hang there permanently

and there I see, my dream reality
suzy's face hanging there gazing back at me

The Warm Highs London, UK

The Warm Highs inhabit a world of fuzzed out guitars, bedroom synths and big tunes. Heart on sleeve and head in hands, they're striking out for perfection & failing gloriously.
