The significance of the story for him was the love

[Intro: Billy Thorpe]
Baby
Baby
Baby I'm all alone
Baby
Baby
Baby I'm all alone, alone, alone
[Verse 1: Urthboy]
His charms came and took me by surprise
The intensity of my love and I ain't denying it
We're fenced off but it's not goodbye
There's no wall they can put between us that's too high
I've never known a rush like that
Dragged my whole heart into this plan he hatched
And though he's a career crim, I wanna be near him
I don't fear a thing when he calls and he sings
And he says
[Chorus: Bertie Blackman & Urthboy]
I got no one else to turn to
And I really don't wanna burn you
But you're all I have, will you set me free?
I got no one else to turn to
And this old fool, he don't deserve you
But you're all I have, you can set me free
Baby rescue me
[Verse 2: Urthboy]
He said that I could bust him out the prison bars
You could fly a chopper straight into the yard
'Fore you know it, it could be like we not been apart
And I believed him but it's hard cause I'm scared and I'm scarred
All of those locks and those guards and that barbed wire
None of it could stop our escape, I hugged him till I hurt
And the tears weighed heavy on my tired eyes
Then broken and fell free, Jesus Christ the plan worked
And they shot at us, all the while inmates cheered on
Little fragments of reality no match for my adrenaline
And when it all may have erupted he said ‘fear not'
I felt safe like everything else around me was irrelevant
Tightly your hands gripped the steering wheel
Tuned into the news, your eyes glued to the road
And I realised the fear that I'm feeling is real
Cause I don't know how to run and you don't know where to go
[Chorus: Bertie Blackman & Urthboy]
I got no one else to turn to
And I really don't wanna burn you
But you're all I have, will you set me free?
I got no one else to turn to
And this old fool, he don't deserve you
But you're all I have, you can set me free
Baby rescue me
Baby rescue me
Baby rescue me
Baby rescue me
And it feels so good to have got you back in my arms
But we don't have time to fuck around
No time to fuck around
And it feels so good to have got you back in my arms
But we don't have time to fuck around
No time to fuck around
I got no one else to turn to
And I really don't wanna burn you
But you're all I have
Will you set me free?
Long Loud Hours was written by Urthboy.
Long Loud Hours was produced by Count Bounce & Hermitude.
Urthboy released Long Loud Hours on Sun Oct 11 2015.
When the people around you are so dope, they make you want to rise above your pay grade – that’s what happened when Hermitude and Pip Norman touched this. It started as an underground hip-hop (samples, break and bassline) beat and a song about the first few years of Countdown in the mid ’70s – chang...
