Показать описание
broadcast by BBC DJ John Peel sometime in 1992

used to drink milk all the time
now it’s made me [?]

[car washed in my house was fine]
now [?] [mine]

[?]
maybe they’ll change again
[?]
maybe they’ll [?] again

used to drink milk all the time
now it’s made me [?]

times we used to glide were fine
now they all want powered flight

every little word
that [?] said
may God come down
to strike me dead

well, I tried that speed
that’s what [?]
[operator, motivator]
gonna make you mine

[how] if I try
you [can’t] try to tempt it
one in my eye
you [can’t] try to tempt it
[how] if I try
you [can’t] try to tempt it
one in my eye
you [can’t] try to tempt it

precious sleep casts motion blue
fills me up inside of you

trees don’t grow and make big waves
did you grow or elongate

every little hurt
that was ever [?]
may God come down
to smite me dead

well, this speed lets you fall
we taste it all around
full star make you wanna go
keep it comin’ wild

[how but I tried]
you [can’t] try to change it
one in my eye
you [can’t] try to tempt it

[?] on me
I’m pickin’ up the apples [?] in the tree
yeah, you [?] the wrong [?] can it be
try to tempt it

The track is called 'Scapa Flow' by Puressence. It was played on Peel's show on 25th September 1992. Peel mistakenly called the track 'Siamese', but in fact was the b-side tune called Scapa Flow.

Here's my interpretation of the lyrics filling in some of the gaps:

used to drink milk all the time now it’s made me stabilize/sterilize
car washed in my house was fine
now it [?] all mine

oh things have changed maybe they’ll change again
[mumbled] oh things have changed
maybe they’ll change again

used to drink milk all the time, now it’s made me stabilize/sterilize
times we used to glide were fine
now they all want powered flight
every little word that I just said
may god come down to strike me dead
i tried that speed [that’s right, that’s me?], that’s what I find
I can [?] them all and [?] and make you mine

how if [have?] I try [tried] you can try to tempt it
one in my eye you can try to tempt it
how if [have?] I try [tried] you can try to tempt it
one in my eye you can try to tempt it

precious sleep casts motion blue
fills me up inside of you
trees don’t grow and make big waves[make me wait?]
did you grow or elongate?

every little hurt that was ever cracked,
may god come down to smite me dead

well this needle as you fall[?], we taste it all along
full-style make you wanna go, keep it coming wild

how but I tried, you can try to tempt it
one in my eye, you can try to tempt it
thrill won’t set back down on me
i'm pickin up the apples while they’re in the tree
yeah you judged the wrong one [what? way?] can it be
try to tempt it

The title could possibly be "things have changed" or "strike/smite me dead" ?? Also most of the tracks from the linked source came from John Peel's 19th September/30th May 1992 shows, so the mystery track probably aired on one of those days. I'm almost certain it was aired in 1992. Also despite what the wiki says I don't think this is a female-fronted band. It sounds like a younger man singing to me tbh.
