And in the morning I was awoken
Oh Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
And in the morning I was awoken
And found the enemy was here.
Oh Partisan, come take me with you
Oh Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
Oh Partisan, come take me with you
Because I am ready to die
And if I die, fighting for freedom
Oh Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
And if I die, fighting for freedom
Then you must come and bury me
Bury me high up, upon the mountain
Oh Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
Bury me high up, upon the mountain
Under the shade of a lovely flower
So all the people who pass by that way
Oh Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
So all the people who pass by that way
Will say "Oh see that lovely flower! – "
"Ah that's the flower of the freedom fighter – "
Oh Bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
"Ah that's the flower of the freedom fighter
Who gave his life for liberty!"

Being a singer-songwriter/multi-instrumentalist/home recorder myself, and largely inspired by The Frond, I appreciate the amount of talent that has gone into creating this amazing work of art. Genius! Blake
Gorgeous album full of charm and wit, wonderful imagery, observations on provincial British life, characters brought to life with the skill of a novelist and nods to the ghosts of a visionary Albion. Blake
Choochtown is possibly the greatest, most creative album by one person I've ever heard. It's like a Raymond Chandler whodunnit which is in turns funny, romantic, violent, scary & uplifting. Gotta get! Blake
