Another One Gone

Molly made the china dolls that come alive.

Molly made the china dolls that come alive,
They’re made from parts nobody wanted
And become everything they hated…


She stitched their arms from splintered wood
Painted faces no one understood
Glass in their ribs, rust in their veins
Laughed like angels, screamed like chains


She whispered secrets through the thread
Woke them softly from the dead


Molly liked the china dolls that come alive
She watched them crawl and twist and writhe
Built from shame and fractured pride
They wear the masks that she would hide
Molly liked the china dolls that come alive


They dance on tables, curse in rhyme
They eat the hours she left behind
Bent with beauty, cracked with grace
They spit her name back in her face


She never cried, she just sewed tight
They were her voice on quiet nights


Molly liked the china dolls that come alive
Spun from parts no one survived
They grew into the things they feared
Broke the mirrors, disappeared
Molly liked the china dolls that come alive


Stolen bones, forgotten lace
She made a world, it wore her face
And when they screamed, it sounded right
She held their hands and turned out the light


Molly liked the china dolls that come alive
She gave them hate, they gave her eyes
Now they roam where silence died
She became what she designed
Molly liked the china dolls that come alive…


Molly made the china dolls that come alive…
They're made from parts nobody wanted…
And become everything they hated…

Twin Sister by Fawn Breaks

Without worth or price
I'm doing all I can
And she can't tell the place
Twin sister pleads me

Don't do it alone
Don't leave me a stray
You gave me a choice
United again
I didn't come this far to lose

The realer was the suffering
The closer we could be
Perturbing in your mutterings
Your conscience warns me

Don't do it alone
Don't leave me a stray
You gave me a choice
United again
I didn't come this far to lose

But you're no longer you
The flashbangs insincere
The closer we became
The more our time decayed

Don't do it alone
Don't leave me a stray
You gave me a choice
United again
I didn't come this far to lose

Twin Sister

Lyrics:

We are achievers, givers, leaders
Fair-minded, fearless, saints, believers
Sensitive, wide-eyed dreamers
True-hearted minds, filling a virtuous void 
We are healers 

We are seekers
We are untroubled, laid-back, sleepers
Stargazing, blameless, plain repeaters 
Trivial, groping cheaters 
Faint-hearted minds, fleeing a needless guilt
We are keepers

We are reapers 
We are devoted, hollow eaters  
Righteous receivers, turn-coats, preachers
Big-headed, keen deceivers
Hard-hearted swines, feeding a tumorous growth  
We are heroes

We are brutal
We are brilliant 
We are careless 
We are indifferent
We are quiet
We are gentle 
We are tender 
We are heroes

Leftover Land

We Are Heroes

Sophisticated Mess

From The Balcony

Once contenders for the mantle of Britain’s most self-conscious band — guilty, by their own admission, of pandering to audiences’ tastes following their move from Pompey to London — Hotel Lux have crafted an identity that is truly their own on bold debut album ‘Hands Across The Creek’.
 
But in 2020, the roots of Hotel Lux’s transformation were soon in place. The band’s classic influences — Dr Feelgood, The Stranglers, Ian Dury — meshed with the sounds of artists like Neil Young, Brian Eno and The Waterboys, and, in the end, Hotel Lux found themselves “doing the whole ‘haha, that’s what the fourth album will sound like’ thing” on their first, says Cam.
 
They decamped to The Wirral, with Bill Ryder-Jones (The Coral; Arctic Monkeys) as multi-faceted influences, £20 Casio keyboards and marauding song structures fell into place. Lead single ‘Common Sense’ was influenced by ‘80s group the Beautiful South and inspired by the RMT strikes, trade union leader Mick Lynch, and the media’s treatment of Jeremy Corbyn. It’s a rhythmic anthem full of funk bass, machine gun snares and clattering guitars reminiscent of Television or Glasgow icons Orange Juice. It's the band’s most euphoric and danceable single to date.
 
With ‘Hands Across The Creek’ set for release in early 2023, Hotel Lux look set to become something their early critics might have not foreseen: a band full of confidence, with the ability to transcend their peers and carve out their own corner of British music tapestry.
