Bleak St started as a poem and was written about a typical suburban high street. During lockdown I was forced to stay within the confines of my West London hometown and as such I couldn't escape the sheer boredom and lack of opportunity that seems to pervade small provincial English towns. It's that street where people hold Starbucks cups like they are a badge of honour sipping on sugary sweet concoctions mislabelled as coffee. Young kids dismantle tennis nets and deface local amenities while boy racers seem to be eternal Peter Pan's riding around in Ford escorts. Their world revolves around the invisible walls that keeps them chained to innocuous concerns and baseless gossip. It's an incestuous pit where dreams are stifled and creativity has strict limits and conventions. The weather is a hot topic and the pubs are fiercely territorial. This is Bleak St.

Temping Bowling was written about the monotony of a previous job. I think a lot of the time people think hard work and rewards go hand in hand but quite often that’s not the case. I was playing in bands, working 9-6 and had a pretty dismal boss. I started as a temp and before I knew it I’d been there for over a year. Ultimately most employers look at their staff as expendable and that was evident to me when Covid hit. I wrote this song as an angry riposte and to poke fun at the hierarchal systems people try to exist within. In a job full of daft training sessions, false promises and countless ego’s it’s hard not to be cynical and go full Bukowski ‘post office’ style.

lyrics:
painting white rooms white while the blue pill dissolves inside tonight,
it's 6am i haven't been this worried sick since my last binge,
you take the m it makes
you thin forget the things you always did,
 i want to stop i never will, i can't slow down it's
hard to build myself from where i was 3 months before you came and left me sore, you
promised so much to my face 
then spit right back i can't erase
and i'm psychotic, brain's a mess 
i took too long to not regret
i need a break from all these things 
but what's the
point if you aren't here with me?
and it's tearing everyone to pieces, the soaring wailing how to fix this, we've been strung
out broken like twigs, we aren't lonely, but we're hopeless
