LYRICS
Well the nurse took four different needles
To get any blood out of me
And she got help after three with tears in her eyes

So I knew I was empty
Figuratively
That I live now alone is no surprise

If you really want to know me
If you want to tell the truth
If you've got to find
That thing inside
That no one ever could

I think,
We could be best friends
And then kiss
And ruin everything.

Well I left my home after midnight
And no one was around
And Orion looked down vengefully on me

Now my heart is that giant, blind hunter
And I am lost forever
Still visible at night though far away

If you really want to know me
If you want to tell the truth
If you've got to find
That thing inside
That no one ever could

I think,
We could be best friends
And then kiss
And ruin everything.

Honey if I seem lonely it's only cos I am
Kind of an actor
Kind of a liar
I am Orion

I am Orion.

about

Tellison London, UK

Tellison is a failed minor league indie rock band from London with acute organisational difficulties. They've released three albums and a bunch of singles.

Back in 2015 Tellison dusted off their guitars and referencing conventions, stepped up to take another swing at, if not the big time, at least the medium time and released "Hope Fading Nightly".

Things never quite go to plan. ... more
