about

"London Bridge" is a song of metaphors. In the lyrics, children's games are used to describe our adult relationships and interactions.

This song was recorded on 9/10/2011 in a recording session at Paul Langford's studio in Chicago (paullangfordmusic.com) during a session originally intended to be a demo of five or songs. We were productive enough to go ahead and record a full album of songs.

lyrics

She is the only game of hide and seek I’ve never won
Tag you’re it and then she’s gone
Her walls are painted with the shadows that hold her in
There is a light under the door, which makes it hard to sleep

Ollie Ollie Oksen-frie

Run as fast as you stand and kick the can,
Heel-toe, connect, and there you go,
The leaves from the trees, chase after
The wind and the rain still chase laughter

Ollie Ollie Oksen-frie

London bridge is breaking down

The East is lining for war
Red rover, red rover, won’t you please come over

Ollie Ollie Oksen-frie
