Spit 'n' Strings - Everything 'n' Nothing  E.P. (2011)

We Don't Sleep 
=====
Why would you ever think to say out loud
That you are anything but beautiful?
I've spent so much time in your presence, in your eyes
that I can practically see into your soul

I've heard all the words that you whisper to me
As you bury your face in my sleeve
You ask why I want you, "there are prettier girls"
But god, I'm finding it hard to believe

Look inside, you and I
We know where to go
What you want, what you need
Girl I told you so
Any time that you like
We can take it  slow
We'll be fine, you and I
Girl, I told you so 

Help me breathe
All this love for you has me in disbelief
If I see you smile, baby, time will freeze
Let's just make the most of all the days we seize
Even when they ain't so good 

My body feels older when I get out of work
And the hours crawl reluctantly
In the shower when the water beats against my back
It's good to know you're in the bedroom 
waiting for me 

Look inside, you and I
We know where to go
What you want, what you need
Girl I told you so
Any time that you like
We can take it  slow
We'll be fine, you and I
Girl, I told you so 

Try to see
Everything about you, girl, is heavenly
Even when we go to bed
We don't sleep
Let's just make the most of all the nights we seize
We know how to feel so good

I can feel everything
Because you're made for me
And when you move that way 
I don't know what to say 

We Don't Sleep

There You Go Girl Starring @IAmWankaego

 A rowdy, energetic track, that's a favourite at our live shows.
A little bit tongue in cheek with a nod towards those who've had trouble pigeon - holing our sound ! x

This is Hip-Hop.  - Everything 'n' Nothing E.P (Track #5)

This song can be about whatever you want it to ......but the original intent was about chasing and capturing that ever illusive moment of artistic perfection. As art is created by humans, some would say it can never be completely perfect, as to make errors is in our nature. How many times have you been alone singing, rapping, dancing....and had a moment of brilliance? "Damn! I wish I'd recorded that!!" Then you go to recreate it in front of a lens or in a sound booth but you can't quite capture that original potency. Tom used to have that problem with freestyles, but realised that a moment of inspiration, belongs to that moment in time, and if it's a freestyle, then  surely it's intended to be free...........like a butterfly.
Written by Tom and James in 2008 

Butterflies - Everything 'n' Nothing E.P (Track #4)

A modern  love song, with a catchy hook, and a touch of Spit 'n' Strings trademark humour. 

SPIT N STRINGS - In 'n' out my life - Everything 'n' Nothing E.P, 2011 (Track #2)

The title track of our E.P 'Everything ''n Nothing' (or 'owt 'n' nowt in Sheffield!) is about putting things into perspective. When we have a bad day, and think nothing is going our way, it's easy to forget that compared to a lot of people in the world, we've got everything.

Everything 'n' Nothing - Everything 'n' Nothing E.P, 2011 (Track #1)

This track is about the side of the cocaine trade that the western consumer, on the whole, doesn't see. The consequences of our nation's appetite for the coca leaf are immense, and the impact is felt from it's country and place of origin, to all the stops on it's journey, and not only by the people directly involved with it. We're not trying to play angels for a minute, but if people could see all the things that their 'Saturday night gram' has seen, and caused, maybe they'd look at it in a different way................

Mr. Watson presents "The Rebirth"

my special Lady, you're a very special Lady. a very special Lady, indeed!
my special Lady, you're misguided, maybe. but you always be a lady to me.
stay for awhile.  we might share a smile.
we're on our own, we've been left here alone.
come, take my arm if you need shield from harm.
my special lady, expressionist baby!
you always seem happy. you never get sappy!
you always seem happy to me.

spending all our time in idle conversation.
you've been so divine to me, always bring me consolation,. . .
my special lady, your innocence saves me
from the man that I turned out to be
so you always stay happy and never get sappy.
please always stay happy for me.

Weil eine Beisetzung immer auch eine Form von Gutmütigkeit darstellt, wird dieser Mix mit dem neuesten Schaffenswerk des Großmeisters der Begräbniskultur eingeläutet. Burial's Foster care - die Pflegeunterbringung als Garant für Hype-Resistenz macht zu Anfang gleich deutlich, dass der Grundstein zwar tief verankert ist, aber die Ausprägungen von Bassmusik wie Wonky noch sehr anfällig für Moden sind. Da hat das Genre Dubstep doch schon deutlich mehr Erfahrung sammeln können und poltert voller Selbstgewissheit dem Ziehvater Dub Techno hinterher um es ihm gleich zu machen. Nach dem Tal der Enttäuschungen kommt schließlich der Pfad der Erleuchtung.
