about
Our guy is back home, and back where the album starts, in bed. So that's where the music goes too, back to the opening track.
As for musical influences, when I listen to this one I hear two bands: XTC in the verses and Weezer in the chorus.

lyrics
_Lyrics_
'Drop me off here,' I say to the driver
'I'll walk home the rest of the way'
I'd like to walk down to my house
Like I did at the start of the day today
Fences and gardens stand silently now
Only one or two lights can be seen
The Honda is back under cover
And his garden shows how busy my neighbour has been
It's coming back to me
Familiarity
Gently I'm turning my key
This is the place where I'll be, tomorrow
Down a curative glass of water
Try to put the day's thoughts in their place
As my mind focuses on you
I can't wipe the goofy smile off of my face
A wisp of wind's blowing in
Rustling the curtains
I lay my head down to the scent of nasturtiums
This is the place where I'll be, tomorrow
'Drop me off here,' I say to the driver
'I'll walk home the rest of the way'
I'd like to walk down to my house
Like I did at the start of the day today
Fences and gardens stand silently now
Only one or two lights can be seen
The Honda is back under cover
And his garden shows how busy my neighbour has been
It's coming back to me
Familiarity
Gently I'm turning my key
This is the place where I'll be, tomorrow
Down a curative glass of water
Try to put the day's thoughts in their place
As my mind focuses on you
I can't wipe the goofy smile off of my face
A wisp of wind's blowing in
Rustling the curtains
I lay my head down to the scent of nasturtiums
This is the place where I'll be, tomorrow

about
Mermaid Guitar New Zealand
If you like it: enjoy it. If you really like it: pay what you feel. Each album has bonus material for download.
Mermaid Guitar music is not earnest navel-gazing. It's indie rock with humour and hidden depths.
