I know that sometimes I do the things you don’t like
I know that sometimes I may not treat you right
I know that sometimes it’s just the final straw
I’m just tryna stop you walking out the door
So if I bring you flowers
I’ll just bring you flowers
To take away the pain
And if I bring you flowers
I’ll just bring you flowers
To make you smile again
I know that some days you wanna walk away
I know I should do more to try make you stay
I know I should try and be the man you need
Until then baby please would you be patient with me
Baby don’t blame my heart
For the things my head forgets
Like leaving you out to dry
And leaving your texts unread
Baby I’m not that bad
But I don’t wanna see you mad
I like it better when we’re together
So if you ever get sad
You should give the flowers to them while they can smell them

Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
