Icicle Works

The Icicle Works (also known as Icicle Works in the United States) are an English alternative rock band and were named after the 1960 short story "The Day the Icicle Works Closed" by science fiction author Frederik Pohl. They had a top 20 UK hit with "Love Is a Wonderful Colour" (1983). In the US and Canada, they had one top 40 hit, the 1984 single "Birds Fly (Whisper to a Scream)". Led by singer-songwriter Ian McNabb, the band released five albums from 1984 to 1990 before breaking up in 1991. McNabb later convened a revised line-up of the band in 2006 to play live shows; this revised Icicle Works line-up still plays sporadic live dates. more »

It was sometime after midnight 
I was looking for a friend
My headlights lit her body
By some pine trees on a bend
I slowed down right beside her
I turned the music down 
She looked around and climbed inside
She didn't make a sound

[Chorus]
Evangeline
Evangeline
Evangeline

Well soon we started talkin'
I asked her for her name
She said it's not important
But I'll tell you anyway 
My mother loved the bayou 
My daddy worked the land
The named me after what they loved
So the world would understand

[Chorus]

We stopped just passed the crossroads
She thanked me once again
I didn't want to leave her 
But I drove on just the same
I thought about her story
Words whispered from her mouth
Her beauty and her innocents 
Where credit to her sound

[Chorus]

I could not believe 
She was gone when I returned
The forest evening chorus 
was the only sound I heard
Now if you ever see her
Be sure to say hello 
Her level thumb
My stop you 
If you're westbound and alone

[Chorus]
