My freedom's a delusion

From every-home-should-have-one Songs From Northern Britain, this, for me, is ultimate form Teenage Fanclub.

Your sadness don't lie
Your feelings can't hide
You always know why
But your reasons are sly
You never deny
What you feel inside

I, I disappear when you're not here
In my life

I can't slip away when I see your face
I lose my confusion
Your love is the place where I come from
When I'm on my own I'm lost in space
My freedom's a delusion
Your love is the place where I come from

My sadness don't lie
My feelings can't hide
I just can't deny
What I feel inside

I can't slip away when I see your face
I lose my confusion
Your love is the place where I come from
When I'm on my own I'm lost in space
My freedom's a delusion
Your love is the place where I come from

I can't slip away when I see your face
I lose my confusion
Your love is the place where I come from
When I'm on my own I'm lost in space
My freedom's a delusion
Your love is the place where I come from

  2. I think Grand Prix just pips it. But only by a short neck. Tried to get tickets for next month's Hackney gig but it was sold out.

  3. Yep, their best album, pound for pound, for me too.

  4. Bandwagonesque, Thirteen and Grand Prix was an incredible run of albums, but for me Songs From Northern Britain topped them all. It's near as dammit flawless.
