That's called 'Border Song'. It's on the 'War Child: Hope' Iraq charity album. Though Tom said he is considering including it on his next album.

<center>She lies still
Her eyes on fire
Undressed to kill
And unteathered in time

And in the arms of a stranger
You search for someone like her
And the music carries on
A simple border song
You once knew

People like you
They come and they go
And what’s left to say
We already know

And we’ve danced these shoes to pieces
And we stood where no-one has stood
And the music carries on
In a simple border song
You once knew

And I guess I’ve said it all
And I guess I’ve said it all
You can climb but you will fall
And I guess I’ve said it all</center>

Sionna · 12-13-2003, 10:07 AM

Thanks Angela!Great song!

Angela · 12-13-2003, 10:26 AM

It's awesome live, isn't it! Much better than the album version, I thought. I bought the album after I heard Tom sing it, but was a bit disappointed.

If you hop over to KCRW he sang it in his last session there in October - very beautiful!!!

daol20 · 12-13-2003, 01:51 PM

How would you go about copying that realplayer stream?? Is that ripping? And if so what software do i need?

"Boy with the Bubblegun" is my favourite btw!!</font>

Angela · 12-13-2003, 05:06 PM

Yes, you need to rip it. You need software that allows you to download rtsp files.

ali whitton · 12-14-2003, 12:20 PM

"You Cut Her Hair" was the first one i heard. it was on tonnes of acoustic compilation CD's aswell as a Q magazine CD.

It's a classic.

Hope everyone is very very well,

I heard the entire debut album first. Though it's not his best song, he stole my heart when I heard: "Tell all my friends I've gone to the moon...". I was just feeling *exactly* like that when I heard it, ha,ha!
