^ Nice lyrics, though the one time I listened to
Bridges, I was a bit disappointed. That's prob down to me for putting GSH into a pigeon-hole labelled Anguish/Outrage: that's why

Bridges and admit that GHS is entitled to his mellow and contented moments too.
The above is partly why this is easily my favourite "bridge" song so far. Thanks for a great rec, ziggywas - I'll be checking out that album.
