Proper Song - Snippet

A song about argument and aftermath, when you're in the dog house - we've all been there... 

Recorded at Brighton Electric on June 28th 2016. Produced and Engineered by Josh Harrison. Mastered by Pete Maher.

Lyrics:
The tension - is like a guitar string
Spiky exchanges, like nails on a blackboard
A phone that won’t ring
I’m leaving - I say to myself
I know I don’t mean it
Those words come from somewhere else

With teeth clenched - I sit on the stairs
A pale imitation, of who I was way back there
And actions, speak louder than words
And you give no quarter despite everything you heard

And how does it feel?

It chews you up, it spits you out
It’s killing me, I have no doubt
I hate to see you sad like this
Wish that I could find a hundred ways to tell you that I’m sorry

Reprisals will cut like a knife
Harsh words are spoken, promises broken, trouble and strife
And sorry is not the hardest word
Forgiveness is harder at least that is what I’ve learned
Redemption is just a day away
The meter is running, tomorrow’s not coming, there’ll be hell to pay 

And how does it feel?

It chews you up, it spits you out
It’s killing me, I have no doubt
I hate to see you sad like this
Wish that I could find a hundred ways to tell you that I’m sorry
I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, so sorry

100 Ways to say I'm sorry

A song about realisation - when you're banging your head against a wall or wasting time on something or someone and it dawns on you that there's probably a better way forward. 

Recorded at Brighton Electric on June 28th 2016. Produced and Engineered by Josh Harrison. Mastered by Pete Maher.

Lyrics:
Sitting on a wheel arch in the back of the van
Counting out the money from hand to hand
Living for the moment just day to day
And you can’t beat the feeling when it’s going your way

And I began to wonder
About the spell I’m under

Sometimes it takes a long time just to realise that you’re on a bad road
Sometimes it takes a big step just to turn around and throw it out the window
And I won’t stand living a lie
Don’t waste your time, kiss it goodbye

Sometimes it’s like a sore on the roof of your mouth, 
You know you shouldn’t tongue  but you can’t leave it out
And nothing ever satisfies, enough ain’t enough
It’s gonna drive you crazy when the times get tough

And I won’t play that tune no more
I know the drill, I know the score

Sometimes it takes a long time just to realise that you’re on a bad road
Sometimes it takes a big step just to turn around and throw it out the window
And I won’t stand living a lie
Don’t waste your time, kiss it goodbye

Pulling out a molar for my sanity
I thumb a jagged splinter when I think about it
And when the pain fades I will walk from the shower
Refreshed and renewed and replete with the power 

And I know what I need to do
And I will stand by what I choose

Sometimes it takes a long time just to realise that you’re on a bad road
Sometimes it takes a big step just to turn around and throw it out the window
And I won’t stand living a lie
Don’t waste your time, kiss it goodbye



Kiss It Goodbye

A song about my mum who suffers from Vascular Dementia, it's about her gradual decline. 

When we release this, every penny raised will go towards Alzheimers Research via The Alzheimers Society.  

Recorded at Brighton Electric on June 28th 2016. Produced and Engineered by Josh Harrison. Mastered by Pete Maher.

Lyrics:
Sleep all night, sleep all day
You don’t know me, not much to say
Skin is dry, your eyes are wet 
You look right through me, did you forget?
 
And it hurts sometimes, I can’t read your mind
There’s nothing left inside, there’s nothing there
There’s no tomorrow
Here where the wind blows 
God turned your light out 
And it burns and it burns and it burns

You waste away, your race is run 
and I can’t bear, what you’ve become 
Wipe your mouth, stroke your hair 
I know I lost you, way back there 

And I can’t explain, hope you feel no pain
Cry outside your door, like pouring rain
There’s no tomorrow
Here where the wind blows 
God turned your light out
And it burns and it burns and it burns
 
And I still love you, I always will
Put steel inside me, taught me to kill
What would you say, what would you do?

Don’t want to see you fading
but nothing’s gonna change it 
There’s nothing left inside, there’s nothing there
There’s no tomorrow
Here where the wind blows 
God turned your light out
And it burns and it burns and it burns

You're fading
