A clever song about songwriting, or the nature of any kind of creativity, from Aztec Camera’s 1983 album High Land, Hard Rain.
[Verse 1]
Still so, here we go
Nighthawk calls again
Meeting after midnight like we do
Flesh bared, never scared
Know their kind too well
"Grab that Gretsch before the truth hits town"
You whispered to me as they fell
[Chorus]
When I'm safe and sound
With nothing left to send
The bugle sounds again
[Verse 2]
The cards are on the table now
And every other cliche somehow fits me like a glove
You know that I'd be loathe to call it love
For strength will come to tower above
The things that I have learned to love
And just as I'm about to say amen
The bugle sounds again
[Bridge]
The vampires made a killing
Filled their pockets up with shillings
Saying, "Someone has to pay"
And you were still in hiding
Singing, "Come and cry beside me"
So I ran away
[Chorus]
And when I'm safe and sound
With nothing left to send
The bugle sounds again
The bugle sounds again
