The Hepburns
Creature Of The In-Between
Disco: Architecture Of The Ages [Feat. Estella Rosa] [2021]

The summer sunshine turns
The sycamores see-through
And casts a purple shadow upon the road ahead of you
Squinting through the yellow leaves
At the patches of blue
Suddenly you realise you are translucent too
You are just a conduit
You are not meant to be seen
You are indeterminate
A creature of the in-between
All these grand old houses
Some converted into flats
Like empty white birdcages watched over by cats
Architecture of the ages
Edward, Ann, and George
All their family secrets, unwilling to disgorge
The same goes for the letters
And the parcels you deliver
Just a blank expression
An indifferent stare – yeah yeah
Because of the internet
It’s busier than ever
But in the hope and joy and pain
You never share – yeah yeah
You are just a conduit
You are not meant to be seen
Just an instrument of fate
A creature of the in-between
