electronic :: songs :: can’t find my way home

(winwood)

  come down from your throne
leave your body alone
 somebody must change
 you are the reason
i’ve been waiting for so long
 somebody holds the key

  well i’m near the end
 and i just ain’t got no time
 and i’m wasted and i
 can’t find my way home

  come down on your own
leave your body alone
 somebody must change
 you are the reason
that i’ve been waiting for so long
 somebody holds the key

  well i’m near the end
 and i just ain’t got no time
 and i’m wasted and i
 can’t find my way home

  can’t find my way home
 can’t find my way home
 can’t find my way home

  well i’m near the end
 and i just ain’t got no time
 and i’m wasted and i
 can’t find my way home

  can’t find my way home
 can’t find my way home
 can’t find my way home
 can’t find my way home

this knowingly ironic cover sits well alongside the sumner/marr compositions on twisted tenderness, and is lent further continuity by being intoned in the final song flicker. bernard: “it was arthur baker’s idea to do the blind faith track. to be honest, i’d never heard of them. when electronic first formed, we were called a ‘blind faith for the nineties’. and then every interview we did, the journalist would say, ‘so you’re a supergroup?’ we’d say, ‘we’re not a supergroup, right?’ we spent the past five years denying we’re a supergroup and then we end up doing a cover version, the first one i’ve ever done, by blind faith—who are a supergroup!” despite the cultural significance of the 1969 recording, electronic’s version is probably superior, with a stronger guitar line and more melodic intent in the choruses.
