Biography:
The Bevis Frond is a British musical group whose range covers hard edge to melancholy vintage indie rock to poetic, "classic-rock" songcraft with a thick Walthamstow accent. Nick Saloman is the band's frontman and songwriter. They have recorded many albums out on various independent labels.
Saloman was originally in a band known as the Bevis Frond Museum in the late 1960s and in 1979 was in a band called the Von Trapp Family. The Bevis Frond, however, was a one man band from the start with the release of a 250 copy pressing of Miasma in 1987.

Em F# G Am Em F#
I'm high in a flat
G Am Em F#
Overlooking your Town
G Am Em F#
Im waiting for that non existent
G Am Em F#
service to roll Round
G Am Em F#
Im watching the rooves
G Am Em F#
From the 33rd Floor
G Am Em F#
Over to the Green and purple
G Am Em F# G Am
hills of the ----- shore
Bb Em F# G Am
...I see through your walls
Bb Em F# G Am
...To a communal hall
D C D
And in this city of the free
C D
You can come and stay with me
C D
And you can look but you won't see, you won't see
Em F# G Am
I'm high in a flat
On a dying estate
Waiting for my disproportionae fears to dissipate
The window is wide
The comfort is cold
Somewhere in the local ----- stairwell rides my soul
I see through your door
You're grasping at her
You took me in and was my friend
We never came out here again
I'll repay you in the end
I'm high in a flat
Overlooking your town
I'm waiting for the towers of ----- to come down
And nothing is real
And no-one comes near
I'll meet you in the air between the Straton(?) atmosphere
I look in you eyes
I take you to fly(?)
And you can say I told you so
To all your neighbours down below
But we'll be gone and they won't know
If anyone has any ideas about the missing lyrics, please let me know,
or if anyone knows the guitar break in the middle that is pretty cool.
