I’m so tired of your rotten lies And your brash grandstanding Say what you think Your words they stink All we want is some purity Jean bring the flowers into the room We’ll be lifted by those blooms Bring the sunlight into our darks lives With your beautiful smile And your kind words They’ll give comfort awhile Help me up I need to get out It’s time that I said something If you can say the words I feel Then I can surely follow Jean bring the flowers into the room We’ll be lifted by those blooms Bring the sunlight into our darks lives With your beautiful smile And your stories They’ll bring comfort awhile Oh Jean, bring the flowers

You’re a liar Soon I’ll catch you out Don’t pretend I have no doubts Who you are Or what you want You’ll take everything we’ve got Streamlined You want the best for no one but you Deal, or be damned Someone’s got to stop you Someone’s got to stop you This time Prey on the weak You do it every time They have no voice Or dime Shouting church And country too As if that were your proof Break the back of one poor man Try and blame him if you can You know we’ll get you in the end Someone’s got to stop you Someone’s got to stop you This time

In a city life I think you’ll find You have no love for the work you do Though you can’t let go You never change There’s only death in the afternoon We are much too close Everything is fear and death Come, come hold me close Come hold me tight You make it alright Up at 5 a.m., begin again I tell you something must give today Fear, it passes on From man to man There is some cause and effect they say You, you have no heart You will never let me down You, you have no soul I pay your fees Love me please Will you ever wonder why? Won’t you ever make that call? Don’t you ever get uptight? Won’t you ever make that call? Won’t you ever make that call? We are much too close Everything is fear and death Come, come hold me close Come hold me tight You make it alright Never let go You make it alright

Reviews

Who is Jean? Where are they bringing the flowers? All valid questions I’m sure you’d agree. I guess it’s because “I’m so tired of your rotten lies and your brash grandstanding”. Now, ain’t that a feeling shared presently by huge swathes of the world’s population? Maybe they’re talking about somebody else, but it doesn’t really matter, the feelings and the response are completely valid either way. “All we want is some purity”, say Pale Lights. Well folks, “Jean, Bring The Flowers” is pure dead brilliant. It’s an indie-pop classicist’s dream, a sixties-tinged ballad with a delicious melody and an uplifting plea for floral optimism. That’s something we can all get down with. Hats off to Jean. For lovers of The Go-Betweens, Lloyd Cole and Belle & Sebastian, and just for lovers generally. I’ve had a first listen to the new LP also- the band have put a 3-track EP teaser up on Bandcamp this morning and the LP “The Stars Seemed Brighter” is released by Kleine Untergrund Schallplatten on the 15th of December, boy are you in for a treat? (yes).
