The Songs Were Laid Bare No Bass Or Drums Just Vocals And Guitars Ringing And Chiming As If Recorded In A Cathedral To Give A Pure And Religious Feel. The Lyrics Invoked Days Of Yore Scenes From The Village Green And A Time When People Died Regularly From Broken Hearts. The Songs Bordered On Nursery Rhymes For Disaffected Teenagers. All Are Steeped In Sadness And Inevitable Loss.
