An Angel on Ruskin

My Day has been made:


Elizabeth Fraser "sings" LIVE with "The Bathers" on Scottish Television!

(NOTE: be patient as it loads. REFRESH the page if it doesn't load right away)
(TIP: press pause until you see that at least half of the video is loaded, or completely loaded, then press play again)


If you have a hard time understanding Elizabeth, here are the lyrics to this song. She "sings" in an entirely unique way:


The Angel on Ruskin
Believe it or not there’s an angel on Ruskin
I saw her up there with my own green eyes
She danced alone among the chimneys
Her golden wings caught the evening sun

// ELIZABETH SINGS:
Hardly knew if I was still breathing
As I lost my way on the eastern stairs
She trashed my car she trashed my paintings
Oh As ribbons flew from her midnight hair //

I was always in love’s power
yes, yes, down in love’s power
down on my knees

All was lost and
All was broken
Brought to heel
Like an anxious guest
On the eastern stairs
I stole some token
I chased a kiss
On her golden crest

I was always down in love’s power
Yes yes, always down in love’s power
Down on my knees
You would fall
Should you look into her eyes

Believe it or not there’s an angel on Ruskin
I hear her laugh and I hear her sing
There’s evil abroad there’s a stranger on Ruskin
And memory lies like a girl on the wing
