the raincoats-only loved at night

The Raincoats-Odyshape (1981)
A beauty only loved at night
At daytime a face full of marks
Her eyes have been in flames all night
The sun won't have eyes for her again
Only loved at night, the lady in the dark
Knew the size of tall buildings
How dear a day-kiss could be
Those buildings that saw all the airplanes
That kissed the air in vain fantasy
Only loved at night, the lady in the dark
Didn't her eyes reflect all of this?
Why couldn't they look into her eyes?
Didn't each night love her another time?
Male nights and sometimes female
Boys loved her at night
Girls loved her in the dark

The Oddyshape album is overshadowed by the "legendary" status that their first album has gotten through the years (some people that own that first album don't even know it exists) but imo it's as good if not even better. Same with The Slits and their fantastic second album, The Return of the Giant Slits.

I've been a big fan of the Raincoats since 1980 or so. One of the most overlooked band around.

You didn't hear much Mbira in music in post punk music in 1981.
