lyrics
On postcards of buildings fly the flags of many nations which you send me,
Falsehoods on four winds from unsung and faraway places,
Distance breeds lies and those lies crystallise what I feel,
You say you still love me but from here I get the idea it's a lie.
Crocodile tears at the station, ripping at my heart,
Crocodile tears tearing me apart - end of another fresh start.
You left me with nothing but the taste of gum on my tongue,
From letters to places with beaches, blue oceans and sun,
I said that I love you, God knows I tried!
You say you still love me, but you're always saying "Goodbye".
Crocodile tears at the airport, ripping at my heart,
Crocodile tears tearing me apart - end of another fresh start.
You said you must leave but you wouldn't say why you were going,
I looked into your eyes but my heart had no way of knowing,
I said that I love you, God knows I tried!
You say you still loved me, but you're always saying "Goodbye".
Crocodile tears at the station, ripping at my heart,
Crocodile tears tearing me apart - oh!
Crocodile tears at the airport, ripping at my heart,
Crocodile tears tearing me apart - end of another fresh start,
Of another fresh start,
Of another fresh start,
Another fresh start,
Another fresh start.
Falsehoods on four winds from unsung and faraway places,
Distance breeds lies and those lies crystallise what I feel,
You say you still love me but from here I get the idea it's a lie.
Crocodile tears at the station, ripping at my heart,
Crocodile tears tearing me apart - end of another fresh start.
You left me with nothing but the taste of gum on my tongue,
From letters to places with beaches, blue oceans and sun,
I said that I love you, God knows I tried!
You say you still love me, but you're always saying "Goodbye".
Crocodile tears at the airport, ripping at my heart,
Crocodile tears tearing me apart - end of another fresh start.
You said you must leave but you wouldn't say why you were going,
I looked into your eyes but my heart had no way of knowing,
I said that I love you, God knows I tried!
You say you still loved me, but you're always saying "Goodbye".
Crocodile tears at the station, ripping at my heart,
Crocodile tears tearing me apart - oh!
Crocodile tears at the airport, ripping at my heart,
Crocodile tears tearing me apart - end of another fresh start,
Of another fresh start,
Of another fresh start,
Another fresh start,
Another fresh start.

Red Guitars were a product of the vibrant Hull music scene of the late 1970s.

John Peel played it on the radio, Tyne Tees Television filmed them for the Tube and Johnny Marr invited them to tour with the Smiths. They were up and running. ... more

Well, does it live up to the hype? It's okay, not as good as 'Loops' or the 'Fenella' stuff; i doubt i'll be listening to it in full very often. Her mojo is waneing in my 'umble opinion.

Amazing. Music full of energy and soul. And lyrics not scared of having an opinion. Plus on one of my favourite labels Invada. Finding this music this morning made my day.

What a joy to find this on bandcamp, having missed out on the vinyl rerelease. I'd only heard Strawberry Window prior to this, but I love that song and have done since first hosting it on Radio Scotland, back in the late 80s. This is exactly my kind of music, layered, anthemic guitars and great melodies. At times, it brings to mind another great lost band, The Train Set. Fabulous stuff.
