To whoever searched 'I'm A Fly' - thank you!

In the last week or so someone ended up here while looking for the lyrics to the song 'I'm A Fly' by Laura Marling and that made me realise that it was not a song with which I was already familiar. Things got even better when I discovered that it is the b-side to the 7" single release of 'Cross Your Fingers', which had also passed me by. (How careless was that?)

Cut to the chase and I have it now. The lyric for 'I'm A Fly' is below:

I'm A Fly

I'm a fly; I'll die tomorrow
So give me all you've got.
I so believe, I so believe.

I'm a fly; I'll die tomorrow
So give me all you've got.
And now here in this foreign place
I have let you down
I've fallen for a foreign place
Not fallen to the ground.
I've gone in blinding, scorching sun
And fallen to my knees.

And I've forgotten what I believe
I so believe, I so believe
I so believe, I so believe.

This is the best I can do at the moment but if you have any corrections or alternatives please let me know.
It is, however, a song I really like and it seems to me as if it is a foray into musically more "traditional" folk territory but perhaps without the customary historical lyrical preoccupations. If this is so then we could be in for even greater surprises in the not too distant future.

Alas she cannot swim

While the general release of Alas I Cannot Swim has been delayed until Monday 11th February, the 'Song Box' release was on time and it is stunning - as those who have the 7" 'My Manic and I' EP already knew it would be. If you can find this EP new at anything like the £1.99 (+ p&p) that it cost six months ago then just buy it!

On Friday 1st February 2008, her 18th birthday, she avenged the mishap that befell her in October 2007 at the Soho Review Bar. This time she got to headline inside the venue, which was sold out again, rather than on the pavement outside!

The latest single is 'Ghosts', which is also the first track on the album.The 7" single is b/w non-album track 'Man Sings About Romance'.
