Hoppers by Grace Gillespie published on 2020-04-13T16:25:20Z GRACE GILLESPIE - Hoppers Once for the waking and twice for the taking I see we’ve opened up the third bottle now Four broken tiles on the rooftop overlooked And by the fifth bend I knew I had been misunderstood So bye bye, baby, bye bye I am just a fly, I’ll be buzzing ‘til I die Bye bye, baby, bye bye You are just a hopper, you are too afraid to fly But I thought you were my angel I thought you were my angel In my half-light half-night eyes We live by the same lies Six times a lady in my seventh day dress I see eight flames flicker on the cool chimney breast Nine o’clock sharp I hear the smash of broken glass And pick the ten shards sticking from my half-warm heart So bye bye, baby, bye bye I am just a fly, I’ll be buzzing ‘til I die Bye bye, baby, bye bye You are just a hopper, you are too afraid to fly But I thought you were a devil I thought you were a devil In my half-light half-night eyes We live by the same lies So bye bye, baby, bye bye I am just a fly, I’ll be buzzing ‘til I die Bye bye, baby, bye bye You are just a hopper, you are too afraid to fly But I thought you were my angel I thought you were my angel In my half-light half-night eyes We live by the same lies © 2020 Kaleidoscope Comment by Miaow McDonald very clever and quirky little song. love every aspect of it. those vocals really grabbed me. beautiful. 2021-11-11T04:06:30Z Comment by Brenner Brothers Gorgeous track! 2020-12-15T21:31:20Z Comment by Mr Cagey Fantastic arrangement. All perfectly put together but the biggest tickle up for me was the second chorus. The distorted organ into the two vocal parts and then at 1.15 my fave, the clean, flat piano stabs back into the organ. But a very close second, comes the bug bonkers piano solo aided by its accomplice that distorted organ. Just brilliant. And the lyrics are truely wonderful. 2020-11-28T08:34:57Z Comment by elljott Thank you for submitting the lyrics. :) 2020-10-14T18:55:57Z
