about
Once upon a time, in the long distant past, our Nigel was a tiny schoolboy, only the size of your thumb. This is a song about those days.
lyrics
It’s not there, apart from one single photograph where
I swear that I see myself there - running in late again
White and fair, design an unusual and minimal prayer
To childhood and all that’s found there
I reach right back ‘til I’m five
here’s where this place can survive
Memoria Magdalena
Could’nt care, for what was outside our own atmosphere
Inside was where it was clear - it felt like another home
Beyond the veil, a secret quadrangle’s treasures appear
Flora to draw in our stare, was everywhere
I reach right back ‘til I’m five
here’s where this place comes alive
Memoria Magdalena
Take me back to hide
Amongst that grace
I reach right back ‘til I’m five
here’s where this place can survive
Memoria Magdalena, I hear your voice.
I swear that I see myself there - running in late again
White and fair, design an unusual and minimal prayer
To childhood and all that’s found there
I reach right back ‘til I’m five
here’s where this place can survive
Memoria Magdalena
Could’nt care, for what was outside our own atmosphere
Inside was where it was clear - it felt like another home
Beyond the veil, a secret quadrangle’s treasures appear
Flora to draw in our stare, was everywhere
I reach right back ‘til I’m five
here’s where this place comes alive
Memoria Magdalena
Take me back to hide
Amongst that grace
I reach right back ‘til I’m five
here’s where this place can survive
Memoria Magdalena, I hear your voice.
