Tindersticks is the name of a chamber popband from Nottingham, England. Their sound is characterized by a synthesis of orchestral backing, lounge jazz, and soul; the lush orchestrations of multi-instrumentalist Dickon Hinchliffe and the smoky baritone of lead vocalist Stuart Staples are the band's hallmarks. Tindersticks have employed electric guitars, as most rock bands have done, but augment their instrumentation with a wide array of instruments: Rhodes piano, glockenspiel, vibraphone, violin, trumpet, trombone, clarinet, bassoon, Hammond organ, and many more are prominently utilized in the music of Tindersticks.

(n.b. this is the version from the amsterdam lp. the lyrics of other versions differ slightly.)
Two hours twenty minutes
To one, five past
Now its laying somewhere out there in the ground
And Ive lost you
I was cheated
It was something belonged only to me
And now its gone through my own stupidity
And I lost you
I was cheated
Two whole years spent earning your love
Now its hanging around in the clouds
Well Ive lost you
I was cheated
Im cheated by my own vanity
Whispering rumours, bullying me
Well I spent it
It wasnt worth it
And for those who are not so beautiful as her
Not giving excuses, but oh...
When its originally tossed away
It can easily be reclaimed by her
By her
All those years spent building myself up
Trying to stop my staring
And start taking two steps instead of one
But theyre so gone now
Chorus
