Can't See For Looking

Tim and Damian once again amble along the windswept promenade of music-biz memories, deliberating on childhood tribalism, cultural appropriation, difficult time signatures, recording studio nerves… and Jamaican beer. All culminating beautifully in a wistful re-recording of Tim’s ‘Can’t SeeFor Looking’. Grab a jacket, turn up the collar and join them for the b-side stroll.References:Peter Gabrielhttps://open.spotify.com/track/6vZZtivPrtpggT5SSXsYTyhttps://open.spotify.com/album/5mHESsxnNuS9E6s6769eWu Aztec Camerahttps://open.spotify.com/album/1VduWll7rkJvGmwe5gYu72 The Style Councilhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3eGSA4P5vw&list=RDT3eGSA4P5vw&start_radio=1 Sly & Robbiehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVIsTZPp0iM&list=RDVVIsTZPp0iM&start_radio=1 Stephen Duffy - The Lilac Timehttps://open.spotify.com/album/5SgauH4yHE5d2s7cBZRHKKhttps://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1DZ06evO0Ew8gg David Sylvianhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEArdmll_9w&list=PLI6kLIhBBwmRkH-vUXwHhDFkortLSwLsi&index=4 Linden Studios Cumbria - Guy Forresterhttp://lindenstudio.co.uk/ LYRICS Can’t See For Lookingwords and music by Tim Riley I can’t see for looking, see the wood for the treesThough I’ve looked high and low on my hands and my kneesAnd I wish that you’d tell me what it is that I’ve lostCos I can’t see for lookingOur union is ending, and it cuts me in twoTo see you turn away when I look at youAnd you decline my invitation to give it one chanceOur union is ending I’m practising perfection, my motive unclearIt’ll soften your defences, I’m certain, my dearAnd if that were to happen, I’m sure you’d agreeOh, what am I saying? As a desperate attempt, I have pleaded with youTo consider it further and start anewBut my rivers of persuasion are fast running dryThese rivers of persuasion Please forgive mePlease forgive mePlease forgive mePlease forgive meI can’t see for looking, see the wood for the treesThough I’ve looked high and low on my hands and my kneesAnd I wish that you’d tell me what it is that I’ve lostCos I can’t see for lookingOur union is ending, and it cuts me in twoTo see you turn away when I look at youAnd you decline my invitation to give it one chanceOur union is ending
