Annabel Lyrics

When you dream you only dream your Annabel.
All the secrets there inside you Annabel.

Bound beneath an emerald sky sing Annabel.
Nothing that they did will stop you Annabel.

Land of the lines, tangled there in porcelain.
Under the stars you'll begin.

When you dream you only dream your Annabel.
Sleep reminds you takes you there, oh Annabel.

Gentle whisper, endless winters, Annabel.
Why've they could have let you be both Annabel.

Land of the lines, of the years below still lies.
You are the truth they denied.
Run like the sea, tangled there in porcelain.
Under the stars you begin.

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh ah
(Only a boy under that)

Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh ah
(Only a boy da da da)

Annabel

This work of baroque instrumentation and hushed vocals finds Alison Goldfrapp sighing about a girl trapped in the body of a boy: "why couldn't they let you be both?"

The song was inspired by Canadian short story writer and novelist Kathleen Winter's 2010 novel, Annabel, about a hermaphrodite who's raised as a boy but dreams of being a girl.

The song's black-and-white video was directed by Alison Goldfrapp's romantic partner, filmmaker Lisa Gunning. It follows the adventures of a little boy in the countryside who is accepted for his true self by his mother, played by the singer.

Simone Lyrics

Hold me in your arms
Oh in the sense of you
When we're alone I'm free
Until the morning comes
Who are we

I felt your coldness come
You're insatiable me I was blind
I gave to you the world all my world is you

At the mirror you gently comb your hair
Humming your favorite song
You are the younger me in his arms

I felt your coldness come
My own Simone too casually
Daylight trickles in on your tremulous skin

A moonlit tear a devil designs
You're insatiable me I was blind
I gave to you the world all my world is you
A tale to tell the world it's now your's Simone

Simone

Alison Goldfrapp explained during a performance at New York City's Beacon Theatre that this song concerns a "wicked" daughter who beds her mother's lover. "These things happen, but only in England," she joked.

The song is from Goldfrapp's sixth album, Tales Of Us. Goldfrapp used the inclusive pronoun in the title because the record is all about Alison Goldfrapp and her musical partner, Will Gregory's emotional response to the uniquely affecting tales contained in the ten tracks.

Clay Lyrics

Words sail
Out into the wind
Their meaning
Taken by time

Your deep seeing eyes
Ancient stars

We wanted only to love
How will I find you again?
Fate or chance

A beauty
In uncertainty
We fought them
On great white sand

Our shadows reframed memories
We want only to live
Only to love and breathe again

Your white waves in the night
Longing I'm lost
In dreams of mine

Blue billowing green waves of grass
The iron sky
Turning in the looking glass

Your deep seeing eyes
Ancient stars

You are wonderful light
My only love
Sleep well
Good night

Clay

This song finds Alison Goldfrapp singing about two male lovers that were brought together by war then separated, permanently. She told The Idolator that it was inspired by a true story. "I found a letter on a website called Letters Of Note," Goldfrapp explained. "It's basically a letter from a soldier to another soldier. They met in [World War II] and became lovers, and tragically one of them dies in battle. So they're not able to ever resume their love. This letter is written on the anniversary of the other's death, and it just moved me so much that it inspired the song."

The Civil Wars song "D'Arline" from their 2013 eponymous album was inspired by a different letter found on the same website.
