lyrics
When I was Napoleon
and you were Josephine
we'd sit and talk together
of the places we had been
You are a child,
you cannot hope to understand
this little corner of the world
Oleander
and her friends
and a host of sixteen angels
with their wings beating
and horns blowing
cannot wake you from your sleep
I'm listening to the air conditioner
and I'm dreaming
I am gone.
You are a child,
you cannot hope to understand
this little corner of the world

Inspired mixing & production. The music has worldly weight but never over powers and, as always, Rishi's sitar work in a rock setting adds depth and a exotic flavor. Richard Bone
