Default New song for the third album? Maybe.

A few months ago I downloaded this concert, before it was removed from YouTube. Lisa sings a "new song", so now I share it with you.
Maybe can be part of the third album.

Enjoy it.

I really hope this makes it to the album, would love to hear it with a full band arrangement
Here’s my best guess at lyrics, hopefully someone can hear the bits I’ve missed!


He came by in his funeral suit
in an open-hearted shade of blue
and asked me what I like to do
on a July evening.

(???) to Shoreditch
I said I don’t know which is which
a night’s thread for him to stitch
for me, the unbelieving.

In the end we just stay in
and gesture with our mugs of gin
and dance around his Borough/borrowed(?) kitchen
the stop and start don’t show.

And I am a cold filament
we advance in tender increments
between the past and future tense
test the weight of warmth (?).

Thanks, Hannah! I had not understood anything without the lyric. My mother tongue is spanish, so... Thanks so much, haha.



Here I leave the URL to you can download the concert. The idea is that everyone here we can see what Lisa's doing, not just a few:

Thanks for finding this! I remember listening to this concert and thinking it had to be an old Irish song because it was so dark and melancholy. Did she sing it differently in Paris?

I can try, but I'm definitely not an expert! Here's my best guess:

Oh…
You wake up thirsty
You have pink skin
We speak so softly of the noise within

We were the city’s prey (???)
We had nothing left to want
But our needs appear deeper than our needless fronts

And we both know
Yeah we both know it always gets so weird
Oh…

Too many people trying to cling on
Too much decisions
Let’s not make them

All they need to know is
You can never own someone
You cannot be close to them
Only in that moment

We lay so low
We lay so low we almost disappeared
Oh…

And all the randomness of meeting one another
Oh…

Another memory to remember with the others
A new experience we placed within each other

So weird

And there was no-one else around
When you lay there next to me
I was focussed on the sound
And how it’s never really quiet

Oh…

What about the future
Who can really say
This is the present and it’s presently ok

But we both know
Yeah we both know it always gets so weird
So weird

im not sure about the shoreditch line, it sounds something like "the bourbon's" in the beginning

also the last verse sounds like "and i am a cold philander" and "warmth" could perhaps be vow. ah well, we'll have to wait till she posts the official lyrics on the site.

I listened a few more times since I transcribed that version, and now I'm pretty sure it's "to Bermondsey or to Shoreditch", which would fit seeing as I think she moved to London, but we'll see soon enough

EDIT: Actually, yeah, this article includes that lyric. I forgot I'd seen it confirmed! http://www.sacksco.com/notes/lisa_hannigan.html

oh yes, thank you for that article, i missed finding that one. also the last line sounds like "testing the weight of all" which surely makes more sense. anyways, i love this song and can't wait to hear the studio version, i'm sure she tweaked it a bit.
