A nicely alternative, dark, spooky number for Valentine’s Day by the sensual voiced Scottish singer-songwriter and seasoned collaborator, here with a fabulous dub-reggae remix version that was the great Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry’s final project before his death last summer. Perry’s Remix is the lead single from the Entangled Remix EP, a collection of re-workings from Dot Allison’s 2021 album Heart-Shaped Scars, including artists Saint Etienne, Anton Newcombe, Lomond Campbell and a remix of a previously unheard track by the Anchoress which will be released on 28 April, all on SA Recordings. A Bandcamp embedded link of the original album is also below.
We’ve got blood on our hands
We’ve got blood on our hands
Love died in our arms
Love died in our arms
We got blood on our hands
We’ve both got blood on our hands
This love died in our arms
This love died in our arms
A little water, A little water
It’s sure to clear us of this
A little water, A little water
It’s sure to clear us of this
So this was love
This was love
I can’t feel the pulse now
So this was love
This was love
Ssh, I can’t hear a sound now…
So this was love
This was love
Look but I can’t see my breath now
So this was love, this was love
And it’s gone, gone…
Weaving in between these notes
Whispering to me
I can hear
Love’s stubborn ghost…
Voices through the trees...
We’ve got blood on our hands
We’ve got blood on our hands
Love died in our hearts
Love died in our hearts
We got blood on our hands
We both got blood on our hands
This love it died in our arms
This love it died in our arms
So this was love
This was love
I can’t feel the pulse now
So this was love
This was love
Ssh, I can’t hear a sound now…
This was love
This was love
Look but I can’t see my breath now
So this was love, this was love
And it’s gone, gone…
….And (whispered)
I am a man
I cry alone
I triumph and conquer
Here on my own
But what is this
That alters my path? (I can’t feel the pulse now)
Shaking the tree
Of such a great man (I can’t hear a sound now)
If being Godless
Used to set me free (I can’t see my breath now)
What is this alter
I find here in front of me?
So sweet is the taste
So firm the shape
This low hanging fruit
Such succulent flesh
On my skin to rest
This low hanging fruit
In orchards at night
I steal just one bite
This low hanging fruit
We’ve got blood on our hands
