Slip Away Gently

from Tightrope by Odgers and Simmonds

/
  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    CD comes with 8 page booklet of lyrics. The cover artist is Jacob Phillips son of Sean Phillips who did the artwork for The Men They Couldn't Hang 'The Domino Club' album back in 1990 and then went on to work with DC and Marvel creating artwork for Batman, Spider Man and Marvel Zombies to name but a few. He has also done cover art for The Walking Dead. So, hopefully there are big things ahead for Jacob too.

about

Another track from the Liberty Cage years, this time a much later incarnation. Alongside Phil on vocal har-monies is Wapping’s finest, Paul Howard. There’s also a saxophone cameo from Paul’s brother, Neil Simmonds.

Lead Vocal - Phil Odgers

lyrics

I’ll slip away gently
So you won’t resent me
I won’t turn on the light
Gone before morn
And the first rays of dawn Like a thief in the night

Oh love my life
Never knew you would be someone else’s

I took you for granted
I was enchanted
I was lost in your charms
That’s no excuse
What’s the use
When you’re in someone else’s arms

Oh love my life
Never knew you would be someone else’s

I’ll try to forget
We ever met
That’s the best I can do
But if he ever hurts
Or deserts
I’ll be waiting for you

Oh love my life
Never knew you would be someone else’s
