About This Track

'Henry's Cake' by Temples is an alternative track from the album 'Volcano' (2017). The lyrics sketch a dreamlike, almost ritualised scene, with images of being held motionless, love hovering overhead, and a hidden world turning under the ground. The voice sounds fascinated and quietly insistent, as if discovery is both invitation and condition, punctuated by the line “Love is on a hill”. Night-time wonder follows, culminating in a vivid view of orange light.

"Henry's Cake" is a track by Temples, from the album Volcano, released 1st March 2017. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 6 articles about Temples.

Lyrics

Henry's Cake

Axis in the air

Those who really care

Somewhere over there

Love is on a hill

Keeping very still

Frozen by a will

And it's all around you

Underneath the ground

You keep on turning round

You keep on turning blue

This is a great delight

A place to go at night

To see the orange

You turning very blue indeed

(And when I...)

Bad day is the day that you don't recognise him

Bad day is the day that you don't recognise him

Is this something's ghost?

Let's all raise a toast

Somewhere on the coast

Henry's bought a cake

Never gets a break

Over to the wake

This is the great delight

A place to go at night

To see the orange

You turning very blue indeed

(And when I...)

Bad day is the day that you don't recognise him

Bad day is the day that you don't recognise him

Bad day is the day that you don't...
