Gwendolyn Betrayed

from Philip Stevenson/ Azalea by PHILIP STEVENSON

/

  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    Philip Stevenson’s Azalea is the finest album of 2017 and though the year is young, it’s the safest of bets. Over the course of his career–whether with his old bands (Carnival Of Souls, Quinine) or on his own–Stevenson has proven to be one of the most unreasonably gifted songwriters around, his compositions ringing out with battered majesty, swerving blues and rhapsodic whispers. Stevenson’s songwriting prowess is so frighteningly massive, the fact that he’s not a household name is, to be frank, just plain silly.

lyrics

No one looks as poor
As Gwendolyn betrayed
Her legs are open like a book
Her bed is still unmade
And I run with money shamefully
So our love won't fade
No one looks as beautiful
As Gwendolyn betrayed

The scented bodies shake themselves
Loose of cosmic dust
Centered in anxiety
And half-consumed with lust
There are some debts you owe
That never can be paid
No one turns the world around
Like Gwendolyn betrayed

The shape of you is long and tall
It laughs on summer lawns
You are the beautiful half
Of something gone
So caressing, brilliant now
It cannot help but fade
But no one loves you half as much
As Gwendolyn betrayed
