After many a ‘heated debate’ between the fantastic Lola Demo and I, we finally got the track we both wanted without shedding  too many tears. I must have gone through a whole box of tissues.
The trials and tribulations were many - Erika’s laptop broke before we even began and I soon learned that a small Greek island isn’t the place for speedy repairs. My Mac then died on me - unsurprising after the beatings I give it. Then we had a few ‘issues’ about the subject matter and my gory artwork (which I’ve since altered in the light of current horrors). Then I wanted to enlist the astounding skills of the (surely) extra-dextered Darren Chilton, much like Eddie Van Halen on Michael Jackson’s Beat It. Turns out he also had no computer (Darren, not Jacko) so we had to liaise via internet cafés in Tokyo. Darren's only brief was to 'make it as fucked up as possible'. Eventually a truly global song was born (Tokyo, Ithaca, Wakefield). 
I’d also like to say that, once computers were revived, Erika and Darren were so quick to provide their stellar contributions, whereas I laboured faaar too long over the mix, which eventually Erika mastered superbly over at Ithaca Manor.
Anyway, here’s the result. I hope you like it. Loved working with them both. Please listen to their music, you won't be disappointed.

lyrics by Bach & Snaith July 2014 and we did bleed through them.
BLEED THROUGH 
Halaal! Hallal! You’re bleeding me dry… 
You cannot tell me what I need - what I should want from my life. 
There is no cure for what I feel. No medication to make it right. 
It’s not easy shaking off the damage. 

'Undead Girl Walking'. Halaal! Halaal! You’re bleeding me dry. Hanging on a hook. It's a struggle but you’re good and stuck. Guess you’d be out of luck if you weren’t up so high. 

Bleed through. I know you want to. 

Already dead. I’m already dead. Already bleeding from the back of my head. You’re so wrong. This is genocide. Doesn’t it make you want to cry. Already dead. 

Undead Girl Walking. Halaal! Halaal!  You’re bleeding me dry. I’m hanging on a hook. I struggle but I’m good and stuck. Guess I’d be out of luck if I didn’t feel so high. 

Bleed through. I know you want to. 

Halaal! Halaal! Halaal!
Goodbye.

released 22 August 2014

Almost a true story...
CATCH THE MONKEY (Lyrics and music B. Snaith)
My father was a sailor, He sailed the seven seas.
My mother was a saleswoman - she sold her soul for me.
My brother is in prison (my sister thinks he isn't) and me, I'm just here swinging from the vine.

My uncle was a pawnbroker, he broke a thousand hearts.
My cousin was a porn star, he broke in many parts 
My life, my death, my every breath, I couldn't even start.
Me, I'm just here swinging on the vine.

Come with me.
Chase the monkey,
Catch the monkey.

Well I've kissed a hundred women and I've fought with many men.
I've swallowed shit and followed it to hell and back again.
I've scaled the steps to heaven (but, at the time, I couldn't tell)
Meanwhile, I'm still swinging on the vine.

Come with me.
Chase the monkey,
Catch the monkey.

If you're living this vicarious life, that's alright. Come on down from the tree and we will be satellites.

Meanwhile, I'm still stringing out a line...
