Like the Swallow (7:39)

Cover of Foxbase Alpha

From Foxbase Alpha

Written by Bob Stanley & Pete Wiggs
Produced by Saint Etienne

Released September 1991 on Foxbase Alpha.

Notes “An early attempt to do something symphonic - like Jimmy Webb, MacArthur Park, an end of album epic!” (Pete Wiggs, 2009).

“We did it because it was a ‘Poem on the Underground’. The melody came into my head in Stockholm while I was seeing The Stone Roses. It occurred to me about 3 years later I’d subconsciously nicked it from the guitar part to I Wanna Be Adored.” (Bob Stanley, 2009).

She's like the swallow that flies so high
She's like the river that never runs dry
She's like the sunshine on the lee shore
I love my love and love is no more
