This is a slinky little blues built around the title hook ‘Burnt Matches, Old Flames’. A cautionary tale about rekindling old love leaving you more lonely than before. Acoustic guitars, brushed drums and a whispered chorus.

Lyrics can be licensed - let me know if you are interested. Full lyrics below:

Burnt matches and old flames 
Burnt matches and old flames
They’re two things I can’t explain
Burnt matches and old flames 
Burnt matches and old flames 

You play with matches  
You're gonna get burnt 
You fool with old flames  
You're gonna get hurt
But you know, they’re just the same  
They’re just burnt matches and old flames

Burnt matches and old flames 
Burnt matches and old flames
Burnt matches and old flames 
Burnt matches and old flames
 
Some people put their matches  
Back into the box  
Some chase their old flames  
Like they’re hunting a fox 
But to me, they’re just the same 
They’re just burnt matches and old flames

Don’t play with matches  
You’re sure to start a fire  
You’re bound to get burnt 
 Re-igniting past desires
But you know, they’re just the same  
They’re just burnt matches and old flames

Now I beg please hear me  
And heed this tale of woe 
It happened on a lonely night  
When my heart was hanging low

I know the path to trouble 
It’s a well worn track 
I knew right where it lead  
And I should’ve double back

But I followed my footsteps  
I followed my footsteps 
 I followed my footsteps 
I followed my footsteps
I followed my footsteps 
I followed my footsteps   
And guess right where they led?

I found my way to her front door 
I’ve never craved anything this much before 
It was warm in her arms 
It was hot through the night  
But I’ve never been more lonely in my life

Some fires burn slowly 
Some are hard to put out 
Some will consume you  
But do not have a doubt
Wo-oh-yeah

Some fires burn slowly 
Some are hard to put out 
Some will consume you  
But do not have a doubt 
Once it’s been struck 
There’s no use in laying blame 
They’re just burnt matches and old flames

Burnt matches and old flames 
Burnt matches and old flames
Burnt matches and old flames 
Burnt matches and old flames

Burnt Matches, Old Flames

Another incredibly fun partnership with the always brilliant Marc Freak.

A prolific musician, author, photographer and (as he defines himself) oddity, Marc's influences range from the lo-fi pop of Guided by Voices to the gothic melodrama of Nick Cave, via the glam of Bowie and the rawness of Iggy Pop. Former frontman of Freak Circus and Dead Joe, an experiment in DIY and lo-fi. A visit to Marc Freak's Soundcloud page is an absolute must:

LYRICS
SKINNY JEANS
Squeezing into my skinny jeans
Dreaming of days gone by
When my ribs could be clearly seen
Squeezing into my skinny jeans
Years fly by
As hard as I try
Exposing from my unzipped fly

Fighting against a coming age
But with a positive thought
I escape out of my cage
Fighting against a coming age
I'm tense I'm fraught
From battles fought
I'll run so fast I can't be caught

Look at the age lines and beware
Take in a closer look
And you'll see the greying hair
Look at the age lines and beware
By hook or crook
Not by the book
I'm charging for a second look

Squeezing into my skinny jeans
Dreaming of days gone by
When my ribs could be clearly seen
Squeezing into my skinny jeans
Years fly by
As hard as I try
Exposing from my unzipped fly

I've got a question
Through coughs I try
I may as well just
Give up and die
The ticking clock it cannot lie
I've got a question
But I forgot it some time long agao

Look in the mirror I seem small
I can just barely blink
And I'm not there much at all
Look in the mirror I seem small
I can barely think
I've armour chink
My rotting corpse gives off a stink

Squeezing into my skinny jeans
Dreaming of days gone by
When my ribs could be clearly seen
Squeezing into my skinny jeans
Years fly by
As hard as I try
Exposing from my unzipped fly

LYRICS:
Alone at night, cold and your so selfish 
4 years down the drain is where we left it and what am I supposed to do? The thought of you still ends up in my head and was it even worth all that effort? you’re moving on with someone new. 

You can never tell me all of it was real. 
You said you’d always be there but right now you don’t care. I’m hurting at the silence and a mess that isn’t fixed. You can never tell me you wanted what was best. When all you did was hurt me, the worst that any man has ever did, you fucked with my head.

Time is up I am strong without you. I have closed the door on all the things that haunt you and I’m better off without you. 

Your family never liked me anyway. I can finally say, you only have it all from the money that your dad made. 

And still, it’s not enough for you. I trusted you. It wasn’t right of you to lead me through a false life that could never happen between you and I, you and I. 

You changed. I stay the same. I’m good to let it go but fuck you and fuck you, fuck you. 

-DALIA.
