To Think That I Once Loved You............................

the sun’s giving way

and the last of it's shade’s

grown as long

as the ache that you gave me

you said nothing’s perfect

though you came pretty close

but then time’s made the

most of you lately

only now you feel more

like you’re up for the cause

like you’ve had second thoughts

and your heart’s lost it’s thrust

you’re marooned on the moon

and you need livening up

but why come back for me

i ain’t no great beauty

well i guess you’ve got time on your hands

it ain’t no big deal me

being lost at sea

’till you start losing blood on the sand

to think i

to think that i once loved you

to think i

to think that i once loved you

i know that corridor

where your nerves pave the floor

and the walls waterfall

all around you

you're all made outta glue

just a residue

and i’ve taken your place

and i'm feeling brand new

yeah right, nothing here’s perfect

i am totally sold

i’ve been dragged 'cross the coals

a lot lately

i don’t wanna ruin your fun

but you got your refund

and now i’m paid to make rain

where you burnt me

to think i

to think that i once loved you

to think i

to think that i once loved you

Took a long time for the planet to fully appreciate Nick Cave, hopefully the Drones will be similarly rewarded. Gareth is arguably a better lyricist. And a more unique singer.

I was married for almost 30 years of my life this song has a big impact on me and I am hurting.

[AmonRa]

Such an amazing song. The Drones never disappoint with their superb instrumentals and heavy lyrics. To top it off, Gareth's voice is so damn unique. Its so gruff that you think he he can't hit those high notes. Then he totally floors you by belting them out flawlessly. Damnit why can't they tour in the States?! This is perfection.

[Cameron-mlnn]

Brilliant.Valentines day favourite for those you hate lovingly.Nothing is perfect especially ones hearts desires.

[bigorringo]

The best songs are so real that you can cover yourself with them

[dirty]

Really powerful song. I love the chorus harmonies

[MichaelTaylor-rzwm]

One of the most underrated bands. Never disappoint!

[Goomer]

Incredibly Powerful/Beautiful Song. Makes me cry everytime.

[MByobby]

songs like this are what is keeping music above water

[martinpollard]

Just the best. It's exactly how things can happen. I return here sometimes. I'm glad this wasn't around when I was young I would have died.

[Cashtoc]

Don't even try to escape... if you fell in the Drones and TFS, it's too late ! 😉

[hobbitony]

It's been quite a long time since I've loved an album like this. It's nice to feel like this again.

[abfilmreview]

This song is just great. Bring on the new album already.

[xasperations]

I wasn't sure where they would lead us after Taman Shud. I didn't think it would be here. This band is peerless.

[muydale]

De lo más hermoso que nos ha dado 2016. Mil gracias, The Drones.

"Nothing here is perfect

a lot lately
I don't wanna ruin your fun
but you got your refund
now i'm payed to make rain
where you burnt me"

Fuck Gareth you know how to hit hard

[cathartic]

Pls help I've been playing this song and Taman Shud on repeat for a week now and I still keep coming back

[ardistrybosch]

No dislikes! Just goes to show how real these guys and girls are.

[ben]

Beautiful. It sounds like Zach Hill collaborated with The National. I'm in love

[HillsSilent]

If you ever get the chance see this band live, so powerful. Seems like they played a lot of new stuff when I saw them last Nov, a lot of it seemed pretty psychedelic.
