This song will be available for free download from the 24th March on SoundCloud up until the release of the E.P..

'One of Them' is a song which draws on feelings and emotions which come from unexpectedly finding attraction to a fellow shopper whilst doing the weekly shop at the supermarket. It is lyrically witty and stylistically takes influence from the 'baggy' sound of bands such as Stone Roses and Charlatans, the playful humour of bands such as The Kinks, Blur and Pulp, and combines this with the uncategorisable originality one has come to expect from Glass Ankle.

LYRICS:

She's got a way of walking,
and it's got all the women here talking.
Is she one of them, 'cause she sure ain't like one of us?

Red curly hair to her shoulder,
d-dirty one and not a day older.
Dressed to kill, all it takes to thrill one of us.
One of us.

Takes a special immaculate feeling, just a feeling, yeah 
to create such a powerful dream, can't stop me dreaming, no.
Takes a side not all of us can muster, hot and flustered I
wonder what it'd be like to take home one of them, one of them.

Shopping for food in Appleland (http://www.appleland.co.jp/),
and my mind's not quite on the task at hand,
'cause I seen her smile in the bakery aisle buying bread.
Just as she's reaching for Hovis,
'can't help my eyes wander down to her pelvis
Waaa curse my brain 'cause it's moved again from my head, oh no. (Oh, Oh, No!)

Takes a special immaculate feeling, just a feeling, yeah, 
to create such a powerful dream, can't stop me dreaming, no.
Takes a side not all of us can muster, hot and flustered I
wonder what it'd be like to take home one of them, one of them.

(One of them) x 4
She's got a way of walking (One of Them) x 2
She's got a, she's got a, aaaaooooo.

Don't Go Falling (Summer I've never been)

Alan Henning (15 August 1967 – c. 3 October 2014) was a British taxicab driver-turned-volunteer humanitarian aid worker.  He was the fourth Western hostage killed by Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) whose killing was publicised in a beheading video.

Henning was captured during ISIL's occupation of the Syrian city of Al-Dana in December 2013. He was there helping provide humanitarian relief.  The British Foreign Office withheld news of Henning's capture while it attempted to negotiate his release.

Henning was driving an ambulance for Rochdale Aid 4 Syria, which raised money on behalf of Al-Fatiha Global, a British-based organisation which provides humanitarian aid to those caught up in warzones. Al-Fatiha Global is a registered charity which was under investigation by the Charity Commission after one of its workers was photographed with his arms around two hooded fighters carrying machine guns. Al-Fatiha Global said that worker had been dismissed. There is no suggestion that Henning knew about this controversy. Local colleagues warned Henning not to cross the border into Syria, but he said he wanted to make sure the supplies were delivered safely.

Henning was shown at the end of David Cawthorne Haines's execution video, released on 13 September 2014, and was referred to as being the next victim by Mohammed Emwazi, the media described as "Jihadi John" of the ISIL cell described as The Beatles. A video of Henning's beheading was released on 3 October 2014. After his execution, British Prime Minister David Cameron ordered MI5, MI6, and GCHQ to track and kill or capture the killer.


Henning -  British Hero

The origins of the song are unclear, but it has been traced to an Irish language song, "Do bhí bean uasal" ("There Was a Noblewoman"), which is attested to the poet Cathal Buí Mac Giolla Ghunna, who died in 1745 in County Clare.
