Instrumental version of 'The Night' our cover of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons out now on BBE Records. 
It's nice to be able to listen to these tracks we recorded instrumentally, a chance to hear the music. We were lucky enough to have the help of some incredible string players from Orlando Seale and the Swells band - also part of the South Bank Sinfonia and Percussion from Linden Jay to support us in this recording. And have uploaded these tracks like this, in celebration of that and for you to hear.

Beware, of his promise
Believe, what I say
Before, I go forever
Be sure, of what you say

So he paints a pretty picture
And he tells you that he needs you
And he covers you with flowers
And he always keeps you dreamin

If he always keeps you dreamin
You won't fear the lonely hours
If a day could last forever
You might like your ivory tower

But the night begins to turn your head around
And you know you're gonna lose more than you've found
Yes, the night begins to turn your head around

Beware, of his promise
Believe, what I say
Before, I go forever
Be sure, of what you say

For the word become too easy
If you don't believe I'm leaving
And goodbye may come too quickly
If you think he really loves you

If you really think he loves you
You would give your love so sweetly
And the day would last forever
You would fall in love completely

But the night begins to turn your head around
And you know you're gonna lose more than you've found
Yes, the night begins to turn your head around

The Night

More Like Trees cover of Fleetwood Mac's 'Keep On Going' from the EP 'Full Circle' available to buy on iTunes
Featuring Linden Jay Berelowitz on percussion and 'The Swell' string section 
Mixed by John Hendicott
Recorded at Gunfactory Studios by Marc Waterman
Released on BBE Records 2012


For a little peace in any season
I'd give up anything but your love
I don't want to trade just to be happy
That's only playin' anyway

But if I dream about it, it makes me wonder
For every good thing, must you get bad?
But I won't worry, 'cause if I'm living on borrowed time
I'm just gonna keep on, the way I'm going
Keep on the way I'm going
Keep on the way I'm going

For every crime, there's retribution
And every valley has a mountainside
No, I can't trade just to be happy
That's the kind of deal won't work out right

See it ain't good to stare inside yourself too long
For every true thing there's one more lie
But I won't worry 'cause if I'm living on borrowed time
I'll keep on the way I'm going
Keep on the way I'm going
Keep on the way I'm going

It's no good to stare inside yourself too long
For every true thing there's one more lie
But I won't worry 'cause if I'm living on borrowed time
I'm just gonna keep on the way I'm going

Keep on the way I'm going
Keep on the way I'm going
Keep on the way I'm going
Keep on the way I'm going

Keep on the way I'm going
Keep on the way I'm going
Keep on the way I'm going
Keep on the way I'm going

All red, don't slow me down
All red, don't slow me down
All red, don't slow me down
All red...

And here we struggle with temperament
As we try to think of the best defence
I plunge in to my pocket
And I pretend I've got a knife

All don't slow me down all red...

Each of the different words you say
Begin to sound the same
As in a blur I remind myself
I don't know whats in line for me yet

Don't slow me down all red..

Day that passes by before the dark has closed its eyes
Piles upon me like of life the chances to unveil a strife
I belong within a heard
No specific game to play
And my heart can heat the earth
Before electric comes our way
In every vessel warmed
I begin to realize in a burn
I dunno what's in line for me yet

Don't slow me down all red...

A harsh tone of voice begins to shatter my nerves
Infectious as our mouths begin to battle with words
I've lost one too many cards because I've gone with the burn
And I feel I have realised what's making me worse
Fuck it, I haven't
What would you say to that
I'm gambling with life and love
There's no coming back
I think I have too many thoughts
So just add that to the stack
The pile of broken bits and bobs
Screens fade to black

The pile is like my bedroom
I know where all my things are
They're in my room
Where I keep them like the world with the stars
But in my mind they just orbit
So they ever go too far
I'd tidy up my head
But I just don't know where to start
With these stars in my mind
I dunno where to start with these stars in my mind

All red, don't slow me down
All red, don't slow me down
All red, dont slow me down
All red, don't slow me down
All red, don't slow me down
All red, don't slow me down
All red, don't slow me down
All red, dont slow me down

Got red, don't slow me down
Got red, don't slow me down
Got red, don't slow me down
Got red, don't slow me down
Got red, don't slow me down,
Got red, don't slow me down,
Get red, don't slow me down,
Got red, don't slow me down..

A kiss on the lips is the last thing I think of

Before I go to sleep next to you

But trust me my love thats not the last thing I do

And the look in your eyes as we lie side by side

A smile I’m tangled up in for you

And it’s certainly not a knot that I would ever undo

So lets just pull it tighter

Lets just pull it tighter

So not even the fiddliest of nails are of any use

Shall we make it exciting

Lets make it exciting

Carefully dip our knot in the strongest of fabric glues



Lady lay thee down

Lady lay thee down

(interlude)

Lady lay thee down

Lady lay thee down



And its your tendencies to act so friendly

To everyone and me and love my family thats so sweet

Trust me my love

Thats not the last thing you do

Similarly as you do physically

Have the ability to make me weak kneed

With simple words

Of a few

Trust me my Love

Thats not the last thing you do

Depict to me in light of scenery

That I have never thought about

Not even blinked an eye throughout

Unaware of what’s kept in the cupboard

Stress killed Old Mother Hubbard

You've seen what its worth to me,

We spoil

Forget humidity

Its cold

Its cold...



Intrude upon the hills of recollection

Wander amongst the trees of lacking perspective

Leaves falling far from their responsibilities

And landing exactly where all our doubts concealed

Oh the earth the only thing we know is real

That continues to heal above and below what we see

Whereas we die and experience tragedy

Lose ourselves in our dignity

Forget about responsibilities..

But we’re not leaves..

We’re more like trees

We’re more like trees

We're more like trees

We’re more like trees

We're more like trees

We're more like trees

We're More Like Trees



Depict to me in light of scenery

That I have never thought about

Not even blinked an eye throughout

Unaware of what’s kept in the cupboard

Stress killed Old Mother Hubbard

You've seen what its worth to me,

We spoil

Forget humidity

Its cold

Its cold...

Candle with no wick
You'd think that they would learn
You can try all day with your matches
you won't make me burn, til the end
Til the end, til the end..
The end

I never thought that I could play guitar
I never thought that I could juggle
Never thought about the way we are
Always getting in trouble
Always thought I was crap with school
Work for me just never worked
But as time went by OI learned and I changed
It seemed the most absurd thing of all
Thing of all, thing of all
Of all

I like bass
(He likes that bass!)
I like your face
(He likes your face!)
I like bass
(He likes that bass!)
I like your face. Yeah.
(He likes your face)

Girl, you 'aint ever talked to me this way
Last I heard you were the sweetest thing that god has ever made
And you were planted on this earth just as a seed there to be found
And by my word I'd cal me lucky to be by you in the ground
Years are by now since the day that we were planted by each other
I tell you if I see her babe I gotta thank your mother
Just for doing something right, and your father be the man
Oh lord I will repay that dude in every single way I can
Were just buskers
Men behind us
Are selling drinks if you'd rathe
Have a sip on some pinicolada - sip on
But if you don't like pinicolada
I've got some pinico-lager
If you dont think you'd rather
Sip on, Sip on...

My bass, my bass, my bass
My bass, my bass, your face
Drum and bass!

I like bass
(He likes that bass!)
I like your face
(He likes your face!)
I like bass
(He likes that bass!)
I like your face. Yeah.

Calm inside the mind
I shine and try to keep in time
As summer spews in to my line of vision
Faster than my inhibitions
Livid is the color of my past as iv been busy
Whereas chillin' is the future of my color and I'm dizzy
Though the world is spinning faster than my mind sometimes I find
That I can slow the blur right down to see development of kinds,
And in an instant it is clear
Though were happy at one pace
The world is lacking many things
Not one human hand can place

For Sure, For Sure

Inside the world I feel connected
But worries still are bestowed on me
As there are patterns within the world
Which contain all new perplexities
Jagged lines and all the rest
Its a language almost new to me
Though i try to understand it
Some are different

For sure, for sure

Each and every symbol
Moves of its very own accord
But belongs within a pattern
Separated by a border
Many different patterns
Equal many different forms
Each of us makes one of them
And one of them makes more

For sure, For sure

I'd like to find a rhyme inside my mind that intertwines
All times alive and that I hide, with wrong as well as right
Find the words that utter out to you
The meaning and the solid truth
Without a statement too obtrusive
But so lovely and illusive
That you feel at one within yourself
Each time I make your drums vibrate
Oh how delightful it would be
To know of noises oh so great
And when they're done I'll speak aloud
No specific words to say
But a rhyme is so intelligent
You might start to feel that way

Melody Melody is a peaceful felony
Listen to the rhyme again before you hand the burden back
Piece from a hay stack
At least give the hate back
"I fought the law but the law won"
Never do time again
Listen to the rhyme my friend
Each to their own if you can leave me alone
If I had my way
Then I'd drop the bank
Take beats off a skank
With a foot to the floor
Let it kick once more
People have a different perspective
When picking up the pieces
Can't stress on this enough
People please
Im on my knees
Don't forget don't forget don't forget about a little bit of bass
Now a little bit of bass

Pick up the pieces don't forget the little bits
Pick up the pieces don't forget the little bits
Pick up the pieces don't forget the little bits
Pick up the pieces don't forget the drum and bass

Pick up the pieces don't forget the little bits
Pick up the pieces don't forget the little bits
Pick up the pieces don't forget the little bits
Pick up the pieces...

You are sewing a red ribbon weaving anxiety
To make a blanket so that you can hide from the mess that you've made
You are sewing a red ribbon weaving anxiety
And in every loop of stitching your thread becomes frayed
Riddled up with it's own meaning knowledge you ought to face
Seems to me that all your troubles are away in another place
You are knitting up a blanket of all the anguish that you feel
And you're wrapping me up warm hoping I'm gonna steal
All your problems but I'm not
I don't see the problems with this cloth
For you it might be itchy but for me it's warm and soft I tell ya

Take each corner of this rag
Pinch it ready side from side
Take your hurdle razor flame and scratch up the crap while it's alive
And remember to forget upon these deaths of which you wish
Your scrapbook filled with memories that make up your bitter dish
Clever boy you learned to taste
But careful don't eat off your tongue
In eagerness and greed we find out what you've done wrong
So chew well your plate of past
Handle well the bitter taste
None worse, but what is left
The wicked boy has left to waste I tell ya

Hurdle, hurdle, hurdle razor flame
Hurdle, hurdle, hurdle razor flame

Don't be the one, be a friend
Don't ever give up on me,
Feet in the sand
Don't be the one, be a friend
Don't ever give up on me,
Feet in the sand


Once I was afraid I was dispraxic
But now I sit on the back seat Abi in the front please
Feet on the stereo hands on the ariel
Beats to meet the sweet streets here and there we go
Living for the minute giving everything in it
And in a haze we can blaze while the fare there stays
Don't rise nor fall, try stand tall
Wash me down like a dry water fall

Now Iv been given this adrenaline
Its starting to run thin again
Its flying round my body kom-bom-pow-dida-bom-pow!
Before I let my body become led astray I ske-electric myself up
That way I keep on flying round
It's hard to keep up
I'm only racing with myself so Im a double limbered up
If your dealing double feelings gobble can what I not
I know I picked a precious peach I know its skin was hairy
I know I skipped a speckled leaf I know I'm more than lary
I know my pipe has sprung a leak but on the contrary
I know I baked my cake to eat and you can fuck the fairy
You can fuck the fairy

Don't be the one be a friend
Don't ever give up on me feet in the sand

You are my one

My guiding sun

One day may come

When my eyes are done

They're blinded by the light that holds my eye



You are the catch

The pick of the pack

You slipped in to my pocket

I could never put you back

One day may come

When my pockets done

I lose you in the crowd beneath the sky



Though some times frustration's the harder of games

With holes in your pocket life's never the same

Who am I to stitch you up?

 

Vision, a vision's all the eyes that I need

I feed off my stomach for the life that I lead

Living it right is living it up

 

Before you think I'm lost again

Have a little look

Though it feels as though I'm far away

I landed by your foot

Once a while ago, oh and once a while ago

 

I'm just a ghoole

A ghost with a stool

One day I'll die

Breaking all the rules

A ghost should never live to see the day

 

I've packed up my bags

Broomsticks and rags

I know now where you are and I am laying down the tracks

One day may come

Underneath the sun

I carry you

Back to the night again

 

Though some times frustration's the harder of games

With holes in your pocket life's never the same

Who am I to stitch you up?

 

Vision, a vision's all the eyes that I need

I feed off my stomach for the life that I lead

Living it right is living it up


 

Before you think I'm lost again

Have a little look

Though it feels as though I'm far away

I landed by your foot

Once a while ago, oh and once a while ago

 

Before you think I'm lost again

Have a little look

Though it feels as though I'm far away

I landed by your foot

Once a while ago, oh and once a while ago

 

Before you think I'm lost again

Have a little look

Though it feels as though I'm far away

I landed by your foot

Once a while ago, oh and once a while ago
