about

Let Me Live has been a perrenial Long Lost Brothers staple since its first appearance around 2005. I always semi-joke that it should have been a big FM radio hit; and it should have. I blame poor management - me! This recording is an updated ROCK take on it with the mighty new version of the Brothers. Features a cranking Nicky Del Rey solo and the rhythm section at its best. Some very cool bass from Rob.

lyrics

Down by the jukebox and the pool table he sits
He's a lovely man, he's got a heart of gold
And he's dreaming of 1982 and the Seaview Ballroom
He's a lovely man, lost his short-term memory

He sings hallelujah, hallelujah
Let me live

Says he still loves you and you kiss him as a friend
He carries that kiss like a treasure to have and to hold
Down in this dark corner
Outside the stars are shining and a last tram rattles by
He's such sweetheart, don't let him take you down

He sings hallelujah, etc.

He wanders down the strip searching for food and luck and a last song for the evening
Something blue, something emotional
That ghost down the road is a friend of mine, be kind to the spirit of the night
Something blue, something emotional

He sings hallelujah, etc.
