“Parachute” is the title- and closing track from The Pretty Things’s 1970 album.
The only song from the album whose writing isn’t credited to the May/Waller pair, it is instead credited to vocalist Phil May and album producer Norman Smith.
“Parachute” ends the album on a disruptive note, providing...
[Verse 1]
White ice towers, slow dissolving
Now fall below savage moon
Iron cities soon to rust
[Verse 2]
Warned first by the gathering shadows
They fled from wide vapour deserts
They turned towards the sea
[Bridge]
Pale, worn, the walking
Pass through concrete glades
Torn shadows, slashed silence
Parachute was written by Norman Smith & Phil May.
Parachute was produced by Norman Smith.
