lyrics
LOVE LETTERS PERFUMED WITH ETHER
(Jean-Pierre Mercier /Jean-Pierre Mercier)
No warning
Or blinding flare from the moon
There were none
But in writing
Inked with fire
Words are slave to your ways
Like a drug
They’re thriving
They summon storms and hurricanes
At least someone to cry your name
They’re deafening
Volatile
The poetry never goes away
Only dies a little each passing day
Lines refining…
Into a smile, that takes control
Nobody else could ever know
That you’re the one that wrote
Those love letters perfumed with ether
No guilt or lust weighs on your soul
Your blood is hot, your heart’s so cold
Yet I would love to earn
Your love letters perfumed with ether
In your eyes
They’re like stains on a sheet
But your heart
Knows what is happening
To them
Go slowly heaven read with me
Our lives rely on our chemistry
Reacting…
(Jean-Pierre Mercier /Jean-Pierre Mercier)
No warning
Or blinding flare from the moon
There were none
But in writing
Inked with fire
Words are slave to your ways
Like a drug
They’re thriving
They summon storms and hurricanes
At least someone to cry your name
They’re deafening
Volatile
The poetry never goes away
Only dies a little each passing day
Lines refining…
Into a smile, that takes control
Nobody else could ever know
That you’re the one that wrote
Those love letters perfumed with ether
No guilt or lust weighs on your soul
Your blood is hot, your heart’s so cold
Yet I would love to earn
Your love letters perfumed with ether
In your eyes
They’re like stains on a sheet
But your heart
Knows what is happening
To them
Go slowly heaven read with me
Our lives rely on our chemistry
Reacting…

It's uncanny just how good Actors is at emulating that Post-Punk synth sound from my younger days. Each listen just gets better and better. I feel slightly ashamed for not having heard this album until a few short days ago.
