Beth Gibbons and Rustin Man: Out of Season: 2002


Beth Gibbons , lead singer of the important British alternative band Portishead,
is not so much mysterious as intensely private.


Born in 1965 into an Exeter farm family,
she embraced rural life fully,
forgoing college to continue doing farm work
and listening to music on a home stereo with her family.


As a 22-year-old in the late '80s, however,
she took a chance on becoming a singer by moving to the seaside town of Bristol.

It was while waiting to get on the dole that year
that she met her future Portishead partner Geoff Barrow,
who was also in a rough financial situation.
Prior to their meeting, Barrow was a studio hand at Bristol's Coach House

When Gibbons met Barrow,
he was looking to put together a trip-hop outfit of his own
and in need of a lyricist and vocalist.
With the addition of the local jazz guitarist Adrian Utley,
Portishead were born.

The band's best-known album, 1994's debut Dummy,
went on to win the Mercury Prize for Best British Album in 1995.


In addition to three well-received Portishead records,
Gibbons released her solo debut , the thoughtful "Out of Season" , in 2002.

MYSTERIES LYRICS

God knows how I adore life
When the wind turns on the shores lies another day
I cannot ask for more

When the time bell blows my heart
And I have scored a better day
Well nobody made this war of mine

And the moments that I enjoy
A place of love and mystery
I'll be there anytime

Oh mysteries of love
Where war is no more
I'll be there anytime

When the time bell blows my heart
And I have scored a better day
Well nobody made this war of mine

And the moments that I enjoy
A place of love and mystery
I'll be there anytime

Mysteries of love
Where war is no more
I'll be there anytime



ROMANCE LYRICS

You know what they say about romance
You know what they say about romance

Ever changing love that you can't
Keep on side a parking keel

Better the thought than the feeling
It's plain to see
All the things we suffer
From the the hands of humanity

But that ain't me
That ain't me
But that ain't me
That ain't me

And I know there's a god inside it
Should I love your key
Adorn you
And get inside

But that ain't me
That ain't me
But that ain't me


That ain't me

And I know I may come to doubt it
But if I ever wish
I wish we could all believe

That in this daylight world
Is a world
Where love can be
And I won't ever forget it
Cuz that ain't me

That ain't me
Cuz that ain't me
Well that ain't me
