It's the kind of night that's so cold, when you spit
It freezes before it hits the ground
And when a bum asks for a quarter, you give a dollar
If he's out tonight, he must be truly down
And I'm searching all the windows for a last minute present
To prove to you what I said was real
For something small and frail and plastic baby
'Cause cheap is how I feel
Half a moon in the sky tonight, bright enough
To come up with an answer
To the question, why is it that every time I see you
My love grows a little stronger
But your memory leaves my stomach churning
Feeling like a lie about to be revealed
But I'll horde all this to myself
'Cause cheap is how I feel
It's not the smell in here that gets to me, it's the lights
How I hate the shadows that they cast
And the sound of clinking bottles is the one sure thing
I'll always drag with me from my past
I think I'll find a pair of eyes tonight, to fall into
And maybe strike a deal
Your body for my soul, fair swap
'Cause cheap is how I feel

This LP is one of my favourites of all time and I'm mostly a funk man. Desert Island disc - def in my top ten. Intricate yet simple.

I fell in love with this song in 1994. It's gripping. It let me dive into a world of mystic fascination. It still has power over me.

The opening lines in this song are pure truth & magic. Then the song just proceeds to get better & better. The perfect night of darkness but not depressing just so real- Your body for my soul fair swap indeed

There's a new duet with her and Tom Wilson that is so worth a listen. Look up, "I'm Going to Stay That Way", Lee Harvey Osmond (a pseudonym).

Margo Timmins is the most underated female vocalist of all time. The songwriting is brilliant, the delivery ,effortlessness. "Your memory leaves my stomach churning feeling like a lie about to revealed" GENIUS!!
