This feels apt, moreso as I remember when #UnfinishedSympathy airplay was banned in 1991 due to the UK involvement #DesertStorm

Earlier I heard the start of a cover of this outside the shut Debenhams on The Moor. A place close to where the crowd scene from #Threads was filmed in 1984

I first thought #CocteauTwins but it's the #MassiveAttack track sung by #LizFraser

"Water is my eye
Most faithful mirror
Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire..."

#Teardrop

On a happy note: re-discovering the Cocteau Twins. I had almost all their releases up to ”Victorialand” from 1986, so that was a nice reunion. However, for some reason, I never heard anything later that that.

Good thing I missed the disappointing ”Blue Bell Knoll” though, but dang - going forward from ”Heaven or Las Vegas” is just such a pleasure.

…and no doubt, Liz probably was full-time siren in a previous life 😄

First time viewing and it's pretty good so far! #SidJames & #HattieJacques are so fun together. #KennethConnor & #LizFraser also play a cute couple.

Here's a link to all the Carry on films. CABBY is #7.

SONG TO THE SIREN
This Mortal Coil

Long afloat on shipless oceans
I did all my best to smile
'Til your singing eyes and fingers
Drew me loving to your isle

And you sang
Sail to me
Sail to me, let me enfold you
Here I am
Here I am
Waiting to hold you

Did I dream you dreamed about me?
Were you hare when I was fox?
Now my foolish boat is leaning
Broken lovelorn on your rocks
For you sing, touch me not
Touch me not, come back tomorrow
Oh my heart, oh my heart
Shies from the sorrow

I'm as puzzled as the newborn child
I'm as riddled as the tide
Should I stand amid the breakers?
Or should I lie with death, my bride?

Hear me sing
Swim to me
Swim to me, let me enfold you
Here I am
Here I am
Waiting to hold you
