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
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
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…

Very very very very nice !!!!!!
Spray paint your face, just to get the full effect.
Sheeezzzzz Ssoooooooo Sseexxeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyy!!!
This is one of those songs that I can swear I've heard before except I haven't. So familliar.
This is SO much better than the live rendition on "Later"
Beth you so flawsome..
Good God, this was the most difficult song for me to find.
Was she around in the 80's or something?
She is in her 40s so my guess would be yes.
Shoutout to Pitchfork for bringing me here
@ColoredSpaces
fookin love this
nice pants
Sounds like she had a cold.
I heard this song on the radio, and I HAD to look it up!
the same :) absolute radio..song of the week
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.
Very similar to "Where Do I Begin"
'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
i think i gonna say "Nice"
May well be her best song ever.
