(I was)Stuck in heat and motion and I couldn't get straight,
I spent the summer and I've come back strange ;
laughing at the photographs they don't make sense,
repressive faces wandering aimlessly for all intents,

(I went to a circus and all I remember, is falling over, over and over, and then the seagulls, all around, began to call, call, call)

I just wanted to make it real, to make it happen, to make it happen: I made it happen.

Stop exaggerating because you don't make sense,
you spent the summer in the city and you've come back strange;
laughing at your photographs that don't make sense,
all those faces wandering aimlessly
it's all intense,

(I took experience, I took it all, took it all, all all,all)

(They'll be laughing at the things you wear because you're a stranger)

They're laughing at the things you wear,
They're laughing at the things you wear ,

Grow Up, Slow Down

We're just, ordinary people,
it's hard to care, 
hard to take it all,

We just sit here with a vacant stare,
when it's hard to stare 
and harder to care when its all gone,
(and all our words come out wrong)

Everybody's got a song to sing,
but it's hard to sing,
and harder to win when it's all wrong,
(and all our words come out wrong)

Make it easy on yourself,
We are just ordinary people;
staring at somebody else,

Make it easy on yourself,
make it easier,
make it easier,

(When your best friend is a stranger, who covers silence with hesitation, doesn't fight you, only likes you, for another, or your lover, you're supposed to be my best friend, and stop my silent hesitation, but I don't like you, but I try to, you're just an arsehole, you're an arsehole, and you only make it harder to bare)

If you don't scold or dominate us, then we will never give you cause to hate us,    
If you don't scold or dominate us, we will never give you cause to hate us, 

When your best friend
is as stranger (recurring)

Dilated Pupils

Envoy were a four piece band who formed in 2005 and split in 2007 (Photograph left to right: Thomas Fairhurst (Lead Vox, Bass, Rhythm Guitar) Ashley Hailey-Law (Drums), Alex Dovey (Hammond, Back Vox, Saxophone) and David Rhodes (Guitars). Much of their musical career resided in an electronics component warehouse (Northcott Electronics) in rural Hertfordshire. 

The attached songs are the product of tapes gathering dust in an attic that have been  converted to MP3, so the quality differs throughout...

So, here be a tribute to the wonderful moments  shared together like so many long since forgotten bands; moments of unified, joyous creativity and performance that will be never forgotten.

Enjoy one and all!
