Bright Night Flowers
Jon Fratelli Lyrics
Bright night flowers ask the dust
Make them ours and blame the rust
Stealing every vacant candle
When the city's eyes are soul deep
Falling in and out of love
Just to sing the twilight to sleep
When the false alarms and eyes collide
And walk with liars by their side
A thousand Juliet's driving every boy
Out of his mind
Crying in the rain wishing
She was still the first of her kind
And how did they ever forget they got it wrong?
Why do they never regret they took so long?
I wish that I'd never tried to be on their side
Bright night flowers paint them blue
Sweep the dust from me and you
Stealing every vacant candle
When the city's eyes are soul deep
Falling in and out of love
Just to sing the twilight to sleep
When the false alarms and eyes collide
And walk with liars by their side
A thousand Juliet's driving every boy
Out of his mind
Crying in the rain wishing
She was still the first of her kind
And how did they ever forget they got it wrong?
Why do they never regret they took so long?
I wish that I'd never tried to be on their side
And how did they ever forget they got it wrong?
Why do they never regret they took so long?
I wish that I'd never tried to be on their side
Make them ours and blame the rust
Stealing every vacant candle
When the city's eyes are soul deep
Falling in and out of love
Just to sing the twilight to sleep
When the false alarms and eyes collide
And walk with liars by their side
A thousand Juliet's driving every boy
Crying in the rain wishing
She was still the first of her kind
And how did they ever forget they got it wrong?
Why do they never regret they took so long?
I wish that I'd never tried to be on their side
Bright night flowers paint them blue
Sweep the dust from me and you
Stealing every vacant candle
When the city's eyes are soul deep
Falling in and out of love
Just to sing the twilight to sleep
When the false alarms and eyes collide
And walk with liars by their side
A thousand Juliet's driving every boy
Out of his mind
Crying in the rain wishing
She was still the first of her kind
And how did they ever forget they got it wrong?
Why do they never regret they took so long?
I wish that I'd never tried to be on their side
And how did they ever forget they got it wrong?
Why do they never regret they took so long?
I wish that I'd never tried to be on their side

Bright night flowers ask the dust
Make them ours and blame the rust
Stealing every vacant candle when the city's eyes are so deep
Falling in and out of love just to sing the twilight to sleep
When the false alarm and eyes collide
Walk with liars by their side
A thousand Juliets are driving every boy out of his mind
Crying in the rain wishing she was still the first of her kind
And how do they ever forget they got it wrong
Why do they never regret they took so long
And I wish I'd never tried to be on their side
Bright night flowers paint them blue
Sweep the dust for me and you
Stealing every vacant candle when the city's eyes are so deep
Falling in and out of love just to sing the twilight to sleep
When the false alarms and eyes collide
Walk with liars by their side
A thousand Juliets are driving every boy out of his mind
Crying in the rain wishing she was still the first of her kind
And how do they ever forget they got it wrong
Why do they never regret they took so long
I wish I never tried to be on their side
And how do they ever forget they got it wrong
Why do they never regret they took so long
I wish I never tried to be on their side

It always surprises me to see how underrated Jon Fratelli is. His talent is outstanding!
Barbara Hicks
Jon is such a versatile artist. From his solo stuff, his work with The Fratellis and work with Codeine Velvet Club - he brings a different sound to each foray and to each album. Not to mention his amazing lyrics.
Denise Wacker
When I close my eyes, I see a rainy night, a neon sign, and drinking alone in a seedy bar. Sad and beautiful. Can't wait to hear the whole album.

Los adoro a ti, y tu banda, Desde México !!! <3

Jon and the band deserves more recognition. Love their songs. 💗
Captain Velveeta
Even in The Fratellis this guy writes some of the best chord progressions and melodies. So simple yet so addictive. No less now. Great song.

Amazing Jon! Sounds great in the Fratellis and sounds great on his own. Looking forward to listening to the entire solo album.

My heart skipped a beat when I saw that this was uploaded. Then I was dissapointed that it took me 2 days to find out. I've been waiting and anticipating this for so long. I kind of joked that maybe the next album would be this, but I never expected it. It turned my crappy day into a great day.
