about

First recorded by the Collective for 2016's Diamond Days EP and later for Ocotillo's 'Songs of the City and the Desert' 2018. This song is a personal favourite of Kirsty's and features Ocotillo sideman Robert Garson on his 1930s Regal guitar.

lyrics

Electricity

While the moment still remains
Draw in closer kiss my lips
Brush my shoulder with your fingertips
While the moment still remains

Something tingling in the air
Electricity is hard to see
It always happens when you're near to me
When there is nobody to blame

And if blamelessly I slip my hand into your hand
do we cross over some line that we drew in the sand?

While the moment still remains
We'll both be blameless as two souls can be
Only our eyes can speak of certainty
While the moment still remains

Let the moment simply pass
Electricity is hard to see
it always happens when you're near to me
When there is nobody to blame

//

And if blamelessly I slip my arm around your waist
Do we cross over some line or do we embrace?

And it's only when I dream
You draw in closer and you kiss my lips
Only in dreams I feel your fingertips
and the moment still remains

All my friends say that it's true
I burn much brighter when I shine for you
A small, ironic flame, so bold, so blue
While the moment still remains

//

And if blamelessly I let my heart hope for a while
Does my foolish heart leap every time that you smile?

While the moment still remains
Maybe it's time for me to say goodbye
when every touch must have its alibi
when every thought for me is strange

Something tingling in the air
Electricity is hard to see
It always happens when you're near to me
When there is nobody to blame

Kirsty McGee Manchester

A wandering maverick and spellbinding live performer with a voice that has been described as having the texture of smoke & velvet, McGee defies categorisation, to make 'hobopop' –“music of no fixed genre”. Her continuously evolving musical personality is proof that a freedom from artistic restraints can sometimes produce a unique, enthralling and original voice with a rare honesty. ... more
