The Last Shadow Puppets – The Meeting Place (LIVE)
Για την ιστορία: Η γυναίκα στο artwork του «The Age Of The Understatement» (αλλά και των σύνοδων singles και EPs) των «Last Shadow Puppets» ονομάζεται Gill και την είχε φωτογραφίσει ο Βρετανός Sam Haskins το 1962, στο πλαίσιο του βιβλίου του «FIVE GIRLS». Η Gill, σπουδάστρια σε σχολή Τεχνών του Johannesburg, αν και δεν ήταν επαγγελματίας μοντέλο, εισέβαλλε μια ημέρα στο studio του Sam Haskins και ζήτησε να φωτογραφηθεί. Σύμφωνα με τον τελευταίο, η Gill κέρδισε τις εντυπώσεις από την πρώτη στιγμή με την απρόσμενη φυσικότητα που στάθηκε μπροστά από την κάμερα.
The colder the night gets
The further she strains
And he doesn’t like it
Being this way
And she tried so hard
To steer away
From the meeting place
But her heart had left her there
She clings to his consciousness
Wherever he laid
Struggles to sleep at night
And during the day
He’s worried she’s waiting in his dreams
To drag him back to the meeting place
His love had left in there
Where the voices still echoes
I’m sorry I met you darling
I’m sorry I met you
As she turned into the night
All he had was the words
“I’m sorry I met you darling
I’m sorry I left you”
Four weeks they had trolled around
Playing the fools
They knew the time would come
And time would be cruel
Because it is cruel to everyone
He is crying out from the meeting place
He stranded himself there
Where the voice still echo
I’m sorry I met you darling
I’m sorry I met you
As she turned into the night
All he had was the words
“I’m sorry I met you darling
I’m sorry I left you”
I’m sorry I met you darling
I’m sorry I’ve left you
