All Saints - Black Coffee

I always passed this up as 'their experimental phase' where they sort of... didn't really hit it off and lost some of their faux-girlband magic. In actual fact, this is their best work. The songwriting is exquisite, William Orbit has arranged the song brilliantly and the video is a washed-out, perfectly imagined piece with some brilliant shots.




Night Swimming
Beach walking
Always silent
Never talking
Then you call my name
And I know inside I love you

Sail away
I miss you more
Until you see the shore
There I will be waiting
Anticipating

Each moment is new
Freeze the moment
Each moment is cool
Freeze the moment

I wouldn't wanna be
Anywhere else but here
I wouldn't wanna change
Anything at all 

I wouldn't wanna take
Everything out on you
Though I know I do
Everytime I fall

Day dreaming
Chain smoking
Always laughin
Always jokin
I remain the same
Did I tell you that I love you

Brush your teeth 
And pour a cup of black coffee out 
I love to watch you do that every day
The little things that you do

Night swimming
Beach walking
Always silent
Never talking
Then you call my name
And I know inside I love you

Sail away
I miss you more
Until you see the shore
There I will be waiting
Anticipating 

My Soul in a Small Black Box
