Lyrics:

Bright red cheeks and blood on your hands
Tried to run but you couldn't stand, 
The sight of her I could see, 
That the light behind your eyes had gone out, for me

Well guide me closely for I cannot see
The love you claim you hold for me
And the sight of him I could see,
Well the light behind your eyes has gone, for me

And on your side of the quicksand It don't sink so low
I'm not a fan of this movement, these to's and fro's
And I'm not here for amusement you should know, 
But on your side of the quicksand, It don't sink so low
So low so low so long

Oh lover look what you've done to my pride x4

(Ohhhhhhhh Instrumental)

And on your side of the quicksand, It don't sink so low
I'm not a fan of this movement, these to's and fros
And I'm not here for amusement, you should know,

That I'm not here for amusement.

Quicksand

Written & Produced by PJ Pearson

I’m moving my family to the end of the earth 
Near the cape of good hope
Where the blue birds are soaring 
On the thermals of love 	

And down on the beaches are statues of all
Those people you knew
But your never sure why
No your never sure at all

And I’ll never move out
No I’ll never move out of an Angel’s way

Dry cement it will not hold your heavens up 
Dry cement it will not hold your heavens in

And on the fifth of September we gathered our belongings
And we headed for the coast
To the voice of no gods  
Where the church bells were rising 
On the thermals of love
And out under the waves where the sea falls apart
Swam a mariners girl
And with her mineral eyes she said
 ‘oh your too late'
But I'm never sure why
No I’m never sure at all

Dry cement it will not hold your
Your Universal Will to become

Last of the Music Hall Comedians

I play to the autumnal auditorium—
trees heavy with birdsong and bonfire smoke.
Now, beneath them, I take my final bow;
timing was always everything to me.

Last of the Music Hall comedians—
last of the incurable romantics.
My mind whirs at seven gags per minute.
I am, at heart, a Shakespearean clown.

From Lime Street Station to the Palladium to
the last pie shop before the stadium,
when life is a comedy of errors,
keep your chin up, and let happiness in.

Not for me, the solitary meal in a tray.
Not for me, the damp chill of a bedsit.
Vaudevillian to my bones, skin the texture
of an autumn leaf,
now the time has come, I will take my final bow.

Last of the Music Hall comedians—
the last of my kind—
last of the incurable romantics.
My mind whirred at seven gags per minute.
I was, at heart, a Shakespearean clown.

From Lime Street Station to the Palladium to
the last pie shop before the stadium,
when life is a comedy of errors,
keep your chin up, and let happiness in.

A gentleman’s epitaph:
With Death he has finally consorted,
but to online dating he never resorted.

Rise, rise, rise...
The world, today, was broken, 
So we climbed the crackled tree.
Each branch dipped with the weight of our eyes. 

The sapphire float
Brushed our faces into laughter,
Before dancing to the rhythm of the wind
As the sun set below us. 

Oh, please let me stay,
Let me fully live, curled and still
Where willows do not cry, 
Where we are the forest.

Where we are.

Morning, 
Clambers, enshrouds, 
Scatters, 
Turns you to clouds.

And so my cold hands
Thank the skies you signed, 
Aren't judged by every word
That I could not find, 
Are coming home. 

Coming home.

Horse Feathers Curs in the Weeds

Independent singer-songwriter from Kent, UK. 
Little video introduction here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKMPLBJBK6M

'No Sheet Music' Artist. https://www.nosheetmusic.tv/artists/nic-evennett

"Evennett’s voice is a delicate mystery, warm and lustrous, yet fragile and crystalline – a bewitching blend of Kate Bush and Linda Perhacs, surrounded by dolorous, reverb-drenched piano and woven into broken-hearted balladry." Andee Connors, Pandora 

"Moving, delicate and introspective. As always, Nic Evennett's voice washes over the listener creating an incubated space I didn't want to leave."
Rapt.
