Lyrics
Frail and sombre lover
Why must you displease
Your love was like the fire
Now it’s taunted by the breeze
Frightening fickle forest
I planted all your seeds
But you spat me out when strange birds
Came to nest amongst your leaves
I had my heart set on you…
Tiny little critters
Feeding from my hand
Your affection is superficial
But your loyalty is grand
Solid like the fortress
That was built out of dismay
You will stand transfixed before me
Beaten at your game
I had my heart set on you…

...his music is as complex as the self; one moment whimsical and dreamy, with shades of 60s psychedelia and 70s progressive folk – the next, they’re wrought with mortal gloom and adorned with hints of jazz and howling blues. It’s difficult to describe Teague’s style, but it usually consists of unpredictable melodies that stray, intricate, dynamic arrangements and a soaring, vocal tremolo.
