about
“Flies” is a lyrical study of mortality, and once again showcases the ethereal beauty of her vocals, whilst driven by her folky finger-picking guitar technique.

lyrics
Flies by Jasmine Rodgers
Body slam down on the floor,
Taking courage as it goes
Temper tantrum all the way
This is how I start my day
Leopard print all on your thighs
Find out that we are just flies
Spinning round we hit the wall
Time is turning and we are flies
Seashell on the old seashore
Find out what you’re living for
Daydream nightmare turn it round
Green Green grass of home you’ve found
And I am what I’ve always been
Old enough to see the seam
Young enough to feel the dream
Time is turning and we are flies
And we are flies
And soon we’ll be awake forever
And soon we’ll find out what’s out beyond the clouds
And soon we’ll be awake forever
You and I will work it out
And soon we’ll be awake forever
You and I will work it out
Body slam down on the floor,
Taking courage as it goes
Temper tantrum all the way
This is how I start my day
Leopard print all on your thighs
Find out that we are just flies
Spinning round we hit the wall
Time is turning and we are flies
Seashell on the old seashore
Find out what you’re living for
Daydream nightmare turn it round
Green Green grass of home you’ve found
And I am what I’ve always been
Old enough to see the seam
Young enough to feel the dream
Time is turning and we are flies
And we are flies
And soon we’ll be awake forever
And soon we’ll find out what’s out beyond the clouds
And soon we’ll be awake forever
You and I will work it out
And soon we’ll be awake forever
You and I will work it out

I may still not be able to understand Lain, but I can certainly understand how much I love this band's music. Twenty years have flown by but Bôa's musical talents certainly haven't.
