Description: Rare 1980 Canadian '45 that was included on Numero Groups WTNG 89.9fm compilation…. AOR/Yacht-rock/Balearic perfection.

This was the last solo song I wrote. It was time to stop.
I hope this says something about other people's lives. 
Not just a pointless blip in my own
Otherwise I'll bin it.
It's not as autobiographical as it sounds, but it's enough to say time to celebrate the magic of other songwriters instead of tenderising my own soul with a hammer.
It's a patchwork for people who have been audience 
to a magic show
And a vanishing act. 
We all get our money back in the end.

The Girl With E On Her Tongue

I don't know when the camel's back broke
Euston Station?
Or your dinner party?
Or that Saturday, just when my skies had opened?

Well I don't know
Was I on a meter?
Did all of your friends think that I was a bore?
Well you say you don't care, but I don't believe you

Well there's one thing I know
You've got little wings
but the bird has still flown
If I'm not worth keeping 
then I'm letting you go
But something got you scared

Well I don't know, was it an ex or a new guy?
Or did I tell the truth too much of the time?
Did I tell you too often I thought you were beautiful?
or was your dad such a prick
I had no chance to shine?


Well there's one thing I know
You've got little wings
but the bird has still flown
If I'm not worth keeping 
then I'm letting you go
But the silence wasn't fair

Someday, hope you give someone a chance
When your ribcage floods with music
don't be scared to sing
or dance

Well I don't know, maybe I'll see you
in some east London bar
or gig in the sun
I'd have mortgaged my ghost to change how you're feeling
Yeah
I thought it was love
but there was 'E' on your tongue

The Girl With E On Her Tongue (rough mix)

Featuring some good pals Charlie Wood, Matt Deighton and Tom Mason
I don't think it needs much explaining.

When you're waiting for the right time
You're building a cuckoos nest
I was laying dirt over landmines
One false move, there was nothing left

When you're waiting for the right time
You're building an empty house
You paint the walls
and you lay all the carpets
and build a mansion for someone else

We said we need time for growing
but this is different from growing pains
I've got a feeling we're done forever

I see her hanging her head just like a bluebell
I see me happy as I could be
But when I look through the tear
and through the telescope
I can see that the guy ain't me

It's easy to be uncertain
and crush yourself under weight of choice
I wish I'd closed my eyes to the options

I know that look
Thought I used to own it
but every smile is a human loan
Her leaves have turned
and the winter's coming
It's only things that I should have known

b-side to the un-issued 1975 "finaly made it home"

Arnold Blair I Won The Big Deal (this Time) alternate take 1975

In a nutshell: met a wonderful Finnish girl, Jenni in a bar in Helsinki after two of my best mates (Vinny and Kaisa)'s wedding -  (The Great Finndian Wedding) we got chatting (just that, nothing else) and I lost her in the crowd without getting her number. It nagged at me for months that I hadn't done anything about it as she seemed so lovely, so I wrote a tune about it and wrote a blog about Finland. Somehow it got reblogged until Johannes Saukko from the Voice (Finnish radio) read it; asked to hear the song and they played it on the radio; Helsinki conducted a mass woman hunt; they found her (6 hours and 21,000 plays later); and it turned out she was already married!

I accidentally stalked a married woman via her national media. She (and her husband) were lovely about it, as were the rest of Finland. We met some years later and had a beer, and talked about what a crazy day it was for us both, sat there in different countries. She's a really special person. We're both happily settled now with kids, but we're still penpals. I love Finland and the Finns, and married my Chilean wife there.

Before Late August, hadn't been to any record shops or anywhere really since March. Decided to roll out and dodged some literal bullets to get a dig fix. Spent a legendary couple hours visiting Alex G at Wild Prairie just around the corner and then went down to Conservatory Shop to hang with Tone B Nimble.  Thanks again fellas 

I came home and recorded a mix of my finds, couldn't fit everything but here's a 2 hour live mix of some joints. 45s, LPs, 12"s... was a great day copping some new tunes and hanging.
