Lyrics

Written by Matt Duke/Matt Duke Music Publishing (BMI)

You hardly stir when you sleep
There’s a peace inside your mind inside your dreams
Though there’s two that lie beneath these sheets
It might as well be three with all of the space between

And sweetheart, behind the eyes
A different lover, a stranger lies
I spy awhile and then creep towards the door
I said, “I love you”, though I knew I didn’t love you anymore

I shiver when you kiss my cheek
You’re mistaken that I’m smiling when I seethe
Though I donned the look of a lowly sheep
Inside my hunger rages trying to keep discreet

And sweetheart, behind the eyes
A different lover, a stranger lies
Freedom is what hides beneath the boards
I said, “I love you”, though I knew I didn’t love you anymore

Deep in my chest, my heart is growing fond
Of the idea of your absence
This crime is perfect for they’d never suspect
The one you loved and laid with planned it all

And sweetheart, behind my eyes
A different person, a stranger lies
Grab the gun we hid beneath the floor
I said, “I love you” though I knew I didn’t love you anymore

    We’ve all heard the old song about the hip bone being connected to the leg bone, but what about the heart-strings and the grey matter? That connection is harder to make – but it’s one that Matt Duke manages to forge with the whip-smart, emotive songs on his second Ryko album, One Day Die – an album which touches on the darkness implicit in that title and uses it as a springboard to redemption and rebirth.

    Kingdom Underground is a thoroughly engaging collection of ten intelligent, literate folk-based pop songs that exude a unique playfulness while tackling some often weighty topics. Whether with tenderness, torment, or turbulence, Matt Duke renders each of the songs on Kingdom Underground as if its emotional content is as fresh and new as the moment he first experienced it.
