Sitting in your ivory tower, locked away from the world
While away the passing hours, speck of dust from a pearl
What happened to the girl I knew?
Was this world not enough for you?
And in the end, even towers come crumbling down, tumbling down
(Chorus)
Angelina, won’t you take a moment, pause for one second
The world around you it goes on
Angelina, won’t you realise your time is a weapon
If you won’t brandish it, it’s gone
You know that not a day goes by without someone calling for you
Even though I try and try, one head’s dumber than two
I would give up anything
I’d give away everything
Only in exchange to see you again, to see the real you again
(Chorus)
Come back, come back, won’t you come back.
Come back, come back won’t you come back to me
Out of your shell, won’t you come out of your shell
Angelina, won’t you take a moment. Angelina
(Chorus x2)

This is a great adaptation of Arthuriana and a brilliant narrative album. I love how the queerness of the characters is handled as an integral part of the narrative and plot development without it being the end all be all of the characters themselves. my boy Gawain deserved better though maritarvaniti
Pretty avant-pop with simple instrumentation and gentle bite from New York's Garcon No.1 cleverly subverts the torch song. Bandcamp New & Notable Feb 13, 2020
