Beth Orton - 1973 Lyrics






You got a certain way I swear of sticking it in
Even though you only ever lose or you win
I always said I'd wait and wait and wait just to see
But I've been waiting here since 1973

It only happens elsewhere
It only happens elsewhere
It only happens elsewhere
It only happens elsewhere

Looking back in time right now to 72
I remember all the stupid things we'd do
Sitting round and speeding like its 79
there was always somewhere else I had to be in my mind

Swimming in my mind
Swimming in my mind
Swimming in my mind
Through electric sky
Looking below, well, it changed my dreams
And now nothing is quite what it seems

It only happens elsewhere
It only happens elsewhere
It only happens elsewhere
It only happens elsewhere

You got a certain way I swear
Of sticking it there
Ridiculously obvious
And never less aware
I always said I'd wait and wait and wait just to see
I've been waiting here since 1973

It only happens elsewhere
It only happens elsewhere
It only happens elsewhere
I didn't do it I swear
I wasn't even there
Elsewhere
Elsewhere
I must have been elsewhere…

    I heard it in the grocery store today and fortunately caught enough of the lyrics to look it up on YouTube when I got home. Good thing it's pretty hip for a grocery store.

  15. F.... B....

    Very similar to "Where Do I Begin"

  16. S.... ....

    '73 another great year for "rock n roll" in a wide meaning of the word
    And so it include Krautrock... a potential influence here (Kosmische music in fact)
    I like it... it's a complete U turn... which means that Beth Orton is free

  17. j.... l....

    i think i gonna say "Nice"

  18. A.... K....

    May well be her best song ever.
