Big Thief - UFOF
[Verse 1]
To my UFO friend
Goodbye, goodbye
Like a seed in the wind
She's taking up root in the sky
See her flickering
Her system won't even try
To defend and ripen
In the radio action
[Verse 2]
She'll never return again
Polarize, polarize
The seasons will bend
There will soon be proof
That there is no alien
Just a system of truth and lies
The reason, the language
And the law of attraction
[Chorus]
Just like a bad dream
You'll disappear
Another map turns blue
Mirror on mirror
And I imagine you
Taking me outta here
To deepen our love
It isn't even a fraction
Following on from the feature on Big Thief in last month's issue of luncut/i] , this title track from the band's remarkable third album is an alien-abduction fantasy delivered by fingerpicked acoustic guitars and airtight rhythms. Big Thief also played a run of five dates with the National in spring 2018.
