Moma

This is a co-write with Boo Hewerdine and is my interpretation of a very emotional radio interview with a woman who was explaining how it had felt not being able to even hold the hand of her husband as he died, during the first lockdown.

Where Will I Be Without You

Strolled into a kitchen in cowboy boots
I’ve only ever known them to look good on you
You’ve humble chat without the mark of time
Clutching on your jag and your fortified wine

A love sick crooner loves power pop
Showed my the ropes of garage rock
I think of you, you bring me flowers
We’re all agreed it's all Big Star power

It’s Big Star power

We dance to Tutti Frutti, dance Voulez-vous
I never thought I’d ever know forever with you
We dance to Tutti Frutti, dance Voulez-vous
I never thought I’d ever know forever with you

You know the city by a different map,
Quiet corners with stout on tap.
Kitschy carpet follows us around,
Cheap acoustics to lay our tracks down

Lay our tracks down

We dance to Tutti Frutti, dance Voulez-vous
I never thought I’d ever know forever with you
We dance to Tutti Frutti, dance Voulez-vous
I never thought I’d ever know forever with you
