Cowboys

Sad Lovers & Giants (SLAGs)
Song: Cowboys
Album : Feeding the flame (1983)


Cowboys don't love indians
Maybe they fight too well
They seem tough
But it's just a bluff
Somethings aren't hard to tell

And who is brave
And who is strong
You think you are
You could be wrong

We've talked now it's time to shout
Lets focus sides again
All views can't be reconciled
This compromise feels tame

And who is brave
And who is strong
You think you are
You could be wrong

Sometimes when the gates are closed
And lights go out inside
I wonder as the distance grows
At all the shades of right

And who is brave
And who is strong
You think you are
You could be wrong

Fantastic and emotional track, "Cowboys" is my all time favorite SLAG's song.
SLAGs were formed in the early post punk 80s.
This is a tribute to one of the most fabulous bands ever , unfortunately , They were an underrated band..........unfortunately?.....oh, well.....I don't think so......

SAD LOVERS & GIANTS play classy, alternative pop music. their multi-layered, many-faceted songs have been described by such words as 'psychedelic', 'moody', 'exciting', 'wistful', and 'brooding'. Sweeping keyboards and dramatic piano; chugging, chiming, and eclectic guitars; inventive, melodic bass lines and steady drums with colourful embellishments all contribute to the depth of their sound. integrated into this are the vocals; sometimes confidential, sometimes forceful; always balancing the mood of the charismatic, often mysterious, lyrics. Like the music, the lyrics work on many levels. Just when you think you've unravelled the meaning of a song, another possibility presents itself...
SAD LOVERS & GIANTS' music is food for the imagination, a film without pictures, to transport you to other, but very real, worlds; or another dimension of our own. Commonplace, everyday situations are studied from different viewpoints at a tangent to reality.
The reality for SAD LOVERS & GIANTS is that they originally formed in 1981 and split up by the beginning of 1984. Between these dates they released four singles and two LPs, recorded a John Peel session and toured extensively in the UK, Germany and Holland, where they were also featured in a live radio concert; yet while their records sold in every major market, SAD LOVERS & GIANTS remained a cult band.
