TRAFALGAR SQUARE

Albert Hammond Jr’s fourth solo album Francis Trouble explores a deeply personal topic – the stillborn death of his twin brother, Francis, and the lingering effects that event has had in his life and music.
In November of 1979, Hammond Jr’s mother, Claudia, miscarried. Although they rushed to the hospital, Claudia and Albert Hammond Sr. were told that the baby was far too premature to live. Albert continued to grow inside of his mother undetected until she was nearly six months pregnant.

Lyrics:
Say no more I was yours 
When your silence came over me

Head to toe dangers own
You're afraid to throw away the key

Tell all your friends cover your losses on my expense 
Tell all your friends while we burn at both ends

Brief collisions in the passing lane
Your turning signals light me up but nothing's changed
Red tap, silver lines, tuff breaks, working overtime
Is there something that you're looking for
It's hard to tell when your ear's against the door
Nice shot, old flame can't stop but nothing lasts forever

Say it matters if it ain't from the heart then it ain't for me
Say it matters your secret is safe when you're close to me
Say it matters I know that I'm touched but you're out of reach
Tell all your friends while we burn at both ends

Brief collisions in the passing lane
Your turning signals light me up but nothing's changed
Red tap, silver line, stuff breaks, working overtime
Is there something that you're looking for
It's hard to tell when your ear's against the door
Red dots, white wine, safe sex, fighting all the time

Brief collisions in the passing lane
Your turning signals light me up but nothing's changed
Red tap, silver line, stuff breaks, working overtime
Is there something that you're looking for
It's hard to tell when your ears against the door
Nice shot, old flame, can't stop but nothing lasts forever

Lyrics:
Well come around I'm with a friend
I don't even wanna say
Got some time I can't explain
I don't even wanna say
Well what's your advice
I don't even wanna say

You take me everywhere
We want to go
Rome was built to self destruct
People and their homes

Brother got your lip
Mother make you sick
Your father is a prick

Well there's some families that you'll meet
I don’t even wanna say
That get lost giving head
I don't even wanna say
I’ve been found in neighbors beds
I don't even wanna say
I don't even wanna say

You take me everywhere 
We want to go
Rome was built to self destruct
People and their homes

It's the truth it's the truth
That we stay up all night
Well carry on carry on carry on with the fight
I don't know I don't know I don't know
Where to go anymore 
Carry on carry on carry on with the fight
Here we go here we go here we aaarrrrgggghhh

Can't you see between the lines
What ya stuck up all night 
Remind me what she said
Haha I don't remember you best be on your tippy toes
Cause this ain't jazz 

You take me everywhere we want to go 
Rome was built to self destruct
People and their homes
