Where the roses grow Lay me down before you go When the time is right I used to live for the night Sing a sweet refrain Till we go again Life outside time Under the lilac we unwind Where the roses climb Beyond the sky to forever Weren’t you once mine? Lost on the breeze A chance to remember Make this day our own Never need another I used to live for the night Finally together Where the roses climb Beyond the sky to forever Make this day our own We’ll never need another Life outside time Finally together

Dear Sancho 05:08
Born that I might live In the freedom of the fields Clear water of the brook My mirror A fire afar And giants smoking cigars I know much about adventure Dear Sancho For hope is always born At the same time as love Dear Sancho Dear Sancho Dear Sancho Dear Sancho

From the town Stands a sailor Who dreams of the sea Looking down to the waves He longs to be free No-one knows where he goes to Every night when he sleeps I am free I am a gull on the breeze I am a new day On the horizon Though I am old I am every story ever told Navigating the night sky The mariner dreams Take me back to the North Star Alone on the sea No-one knows where he goes to Every night when he sleeps I am free I am a gull on the breeze I am a new day On the horizon Though I am old I am every story ever told No-one knows where I go to Every night I sleep I am free I am a gull on the breeze I am a new day On the horizon Though I am old I am every story ever told I am free I am a gull on the breeze I am a new day On the horizon Though I am old I am every story ever told

Pop Pop 03:40
All those sugar-coated promises Half-truth and lies sealed with a kiss And the icing on the cake’s so sweet So saccharin it made you sick Pop pop goes your heart Pop pop goes your heart Pop pop goes your heart Pop pop goes your heart Now I see the way that they’re smiling in the sunshine on the street Who knew suburbia could be so sweet? Yes, you were beguiling but you’ve gone and left me Three little wishes Don’t come back Don’t come back Don’t come back Pop pop goes your heart Pop pop goes your heart Pop pop goes your heart Pop pop goes your heart

about

When is an EP not an EP? When it’s ‘Outside Time’, the brand-new, 21-minute long, mini album by The Trudy.

We’ve called it a mini album because it’s a sequenced to be listened to like one side of an LP. It takes you on a musical journey. Well, we think it does anyway.

Reviews for Dear Sancho single release:

“The Trudy are the coolest UK cult pop band you’ve probably never heard of. They should have been our Blondie, a smart, art-pop hit-machine. Connections with the Cardiacs meant they had a bohemian oddness and were just too cool for playing the mainstream game.” – louderthanwar.com


“The singer’s very reverberant voice immediately won me over. Sinuously passing through my ears, it entered me and hypnotized my soul.”- edgarallanpoets.com


“A kaleidoscopic soundscape, the track is beguiling, mystifying and fills you with a sense of comfortable chaos” – theothersidereviews.com


“The singer’s wonderful soaring vocals, the dark yet absolutely divine guitars and gentle shimmering sounds of vibraphone weave an unforgettable and vivid aural experience, one that just calls to hit that replay button” – lessthan1000followers.com


“They’ve quietly been getting on with the business of making fine pop music for years and years now” – organthing.com
