'A Love To Believe In' 

Finally I’m through, my friend,
Rest my broken body in this bed
Volunteers can come and go
Recuperation it’s just so slow
See how time is marching on...
In this bed I sell my soul
Maybe you don't have a choice 
We have to die to find our voice.

It’s time to make our l-o-v-e 
our love to be-lieve in love 
Nobody can judge your s-o-u-l 
your soul that be-longs to no-one but y-o-u
Please Stay with me until the end 
Until the sea breaks through my pain 
coz Mother Nature knows the cure 
her love can carry me on no more.

EDWARD PATRIS -  A Love To Believe In

Written, recorded and mixed by Greg Jackson. Mastered by Barry Gardner (Public Service Broadcasting). 

'One of Them' features on FRAGMENTS: the new Glass Ankle E.P. out 07.04.14 on the bands own label, Sleeper Train Sounds. This song will be available for free download from the 24th March on SoundCloud up until the release of the E.P.. Remixes will be supplied by young Mancunian Electro-pop duo, weareaudio (https://soundcloud.com/weareaudio), Electro-Dub producer, Dirty Freud (https://soundcloud.com/dirty-freud), and D'n'B producer, HUNTA (https://soundcloud.com/huntadnb).

'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.

One of Them

Chap-Hop comes of age!
From his new long player 'CAN'T STOP, SHAN'T STOP', Mr.B delivers a broadside to the music industry and the state of hip-hop with both banjolele barrels. 
Mr.B has been known for his satirical bent ('More Kissing In Porn Please, We're British', 'The Crack Song', 'They Don't Allow Rappers In the Bullingdon Club' etc), but 'Hip-Hop Was To Blame After All' has already been described as 'the ballsiest hip-hop track of 2014'.
Do enjoy this jaunty ditty with a sting in the tail.
You can watch the video too, filmed in the home of hip-hop, New York.
