Oh Damon, my Damon!

I natt har jag en ny favorit på Badly Drawn Boys fantastiska Born In The U.K.-skiva. Promises innehåller magnifikt pianospel och när det en bit in i låten får sällskap av trummor blir det nästan outhärdligt bra. Texten är lika sorgligt realistisk som alla de övriga på skivan. (Han måste vara nyskild?)

I promise you will get old
I promised you everything
To protect you wherever you go
I'll give you this diamond ring

Just promise you will remember
A promise should last forever
Right up to the dying embers
Of a fire that burns so slow

It's a different day everyday
Don't want you to walk alone
But how will we carry on?
When all of these things have gone

Just promise you will remember
That promises last forever
Still left of the dying embers
Of a fire that burns so slowly

It's a beautiful thing to do
Sometimes you just have to walk away
Remember I do love you
Have courage in what you say

Just promise you will remember
Promises last forever
Still left of the dying embers
The fire that burns so slowly

Sometimes you just have to walk away
Sometimes you just have to walk away
Wishing today was yesterday
Yeah, sometimes you just have to walk away

Här kan man se Badly Drawn Boy repa in låten. Det är jättefint.
