about
This is the title track from our new album 'The Last Concorde'. It was the last song to be written for the album which came about during the first lockdown in 2020 and it mainly focuses on memorialising oneself or an ominous kind of wistfulness, which I think many people were feeling at that point, I certainly felt that. This song sort of knitted the rest of the album together in the end, blending a lot of the themes of the record which was already concentrated on certain ideas around 21st century life - such as the climate, the news, paranoia and escapism but also nostalgia, youth and a real voguish fascination with living.
lyrics
Some days it all makes sense
There’s a kind of a confidence
Hits me right at the break of dawn
And it goes again when the time is wrong
I’m a concorde baby,
Moving fast,
Out of sight and out of touch
They all said it couldn’t last
Supersonic, Sonic Boom,
You’re sucking diesel and breathe the fumes,
You can't touch me, I’m too hot,
A freak of nature I’ll never stop
I’m a concorde baby,
Fly around the moon,
Out of sight and out of touch
The years ahead, they go too soon.
Ooh la la, I just mean wow baby, wow
I used to move at the speed of sound.
Superhuman, Ubermensch
I’d swap it all for another chance
I’m a concorde baby,
Moving fast,
Out of sight and out of touch
They all said it’s in the past.
I’m a concorde baby,
Moving
(The Last Concorde, baby)
