lyrics

the abstracted shapes
of the people's thoughts
different shops and pubs
all the cheap facades

it is all this city
it is all this city

wind shaken trees
half crumbling parks
the enquiring eyes
fingers parting lace

it is all this city
it is all this city

long straggling queues
of the out of work
a baby sucking sweets
dribbling down his quilt

it is all this city
it is all this city
all this city

The Journey to Atlantis

I remember the excitement when The Sentinel was released having seen the band live a few times before. I loved the album but was aware that there were tracks missing and it had been rumoured that it was to be a double album. To hear all these takes and works in progress takes me right back to the 80's and the buzz of all the new prog that was coming out back then. This is an absolutely essential purchase for any Pallas fan. nuttinikki
