Lyrics:

I’ve been thinking
About the things you say
Every morning when we awake

You act like he’s still near
You act like you need here
I wish you would make it clear
told me he disappeared 
I just can’t trust you dear
my eyes fill up with tears
You're lying to me I fear
It’s his name I hear

I’ve been thinking
About all the things you say
every morning 
About the time when we awake
I’ve been thinking 
About how it brings me pain
I’ve been thinking
About how you say his name

I woke up alone today
on the ground my cold feet weigh
take a shower, clean my face
go to work from 3 to 8
cover shifts, jim's got a date
so burnt out, and I get home late
feed the dog, and clean the plates
eat alone, then I hit the hay 

I’ve been thinking
About all the things you say
every morning 
about the time when we awake
I’ve been thinking 
About how it brings me pain
I’ve been thinking
About how you say his name (x2)

The third in this set of Bandcamp EPs finds Honey Smugglers at Bark Studio in Walthamstow in the Autumn of 1990 during initial sessions for a follow up to the `Listen' EP. As it turns out we recorded a different set of songs for the `Closer' EP in early 1991.

Each of the first three songs were longstanding stage favourites and could be heard in most Smugglers setlists. `Anybody But You' embodies the Smugglers groove as well as any of their tunes and check out the spontaneous studio magic as Steve kick starts the piece on an Organ with a mind of its own.

`Pie In The Sky' appeared in live form on an album recorded at The Sausage Machine in Hampstead, (`Now That's Disgusting Music') but this is the studio version. In a gigging situation we used to see how long we could extend the gap in the middle before people would start clapping, but here....just an uneasy, digital silence.

`Beautiful People' was played in a number of arrangements throughout the band's career, this perhaps being the best and most concise. The improvised vocal coda at the end by Chris assures this version's place as first choice. It was a first take vocal.

The final track `Whole Wide World' was a unique cover version which was only ever played this once. It was part of a planned Fiction Records sampler which never happened. It didn't even cross our minds to play it live, great song though it is, I guess we had too many of our own songs vying for position in a setlist of ten.

Pie In The Sky

Girls Are Dumb

i was raised by a place
ive been on since i was eight
or maybe 9, the internet,
sat online, on the world wide web

everything i've ever seen
ever learnt, its from a screen
and who i am today
was influenced by the way
i was raised on the World Wide Web
raised by the Internet

raised by the World Wide Web
don't have any real life friends
mind melted by the internet
World Wide Web

i was raised online
i was raised online
maybe that is why
i came out behind
all the other kids
all cause i had unrestricted
access to the internet

knowledge at my fingertips
and everything that any kid
really shouldn't be seeing when
he's browsing at the age of ten
terrorist beheadings
and anything with death in it
propaganda, fucking goatse
i came out so fucking lonely

raised by the World Wide Web
im anxious with every breath
cause i was raised by the world wide web
World Wide Web

Raised By The World Wide Web

Yelling At Inanimate Objects Instead of You
