Now you say that you’re so blue
All for a girl you hardly knew
And all you need is a hard drink
And another soft shoulder to cry on
And information to rely on
You’re a dirty nightingale
Sing your pretty tune
Sing across the rooftops
Na na na na na na na
Now you say you’re life’s a mess
You’re torn up with sorrow an loneliness
You’re stranded on the road to success
And nobody’s willing to guide you
These things have always denied you
You’re a dirty nightingale
Sing your pretty tune
Sing across the rooftops
Na na na na na na na
Now you say that this is the end
You’ve lost your lover
Now mourned a friend
And all you need is a hard drink
And another soft shoulder to cry on
And information to rely on
You’re a dirty nightingale
Sing your pretty tune
Sing across the rooftops

The third Sanctuary album is also the best of the trilogy. This one dares even more to expand the Oldfieldian style in new and exciting directions. It may be sacrilege to suggest it, but if this *were* a genuine Oldfield album, many might say it was one of his best, too. It's true that Rob Reed is standing on the shoulders of a giant, but he is a giant talent in his own right.
Often the music brings tears to the eyes, as if it were the soundtrack to the climax of a hard-won cinematic story. nickgreen90125

The first solo release in over a decade from Bev Lee Harling is a personal travelogue filled with euphoric compositions. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 20, 2021
