This is a song for the Lord Nelson pub and Poole Quay and all of its wonderful inhabitants.....

For The Nelson

Original Album version
This is about being a beautiful yet dangerous woman. A flower in a petrol bomb. A punk rock she wolf kind of thing.

Molotov Rose

This is the single version of Life's too short, recorded by Gareth at Absolute Studios. This will be going onto the Punkalicious 4 compilation when the release dates are announced!

Life's too short - Single

Do you ever feel that life has torn you down the seams?
Do you ever find you're looking for that one thing 
That you know is missing?
Is it another person, or another pipe dream?
I don't know
It just goes to show
There is no such thing as mind reading.

All my life I've been sick and tired
Of your credulous lunacy
Prove me wrong, I'll say you're right
But until then I don't believe you
All my life I've been sick and tired
Of your credulous lunacy
To all you cheats and all you liars
Sing here's to heresy.

You could go the way of Buddha
Weigh your soul in a thousand ways
You're so zen, and I can't pretend
To be the least bit impressed
Be a hippy activist
Go to court and braid your hair
I don't care, I won't be there
I just can't be doing with it.

This here is your full potential
And I don't believe you've met
That's all we hear, down through the years
And we never once live up to it
And if I ever meet that bastard
One of us is leaving dead
Until that time, I'll be fine
In second place, I can't be bothered.

Here's to heresy.







Here's To Heresy (Acoustic)

We know a girl, she's a Molotov rose
A silent hand grenade, and she's ready to explode
She'll love you and she'll hold you 'til she blows her load
Then ride off into the sun, that girl's just got to go

The kind of girl you warn your daughter about
You hold her too long and she'll explode
And by the time that you've got your breath back
She's already hit the road
We know a girl, she's a flower in the ash tray
But she never seems to wilt
She's breaking hearts and smashing dreams
Without a single shred of guilt
You think you picked her up at the bar
But the truth is that she chose you
When the morning comes, and all's said and done
You are the one who got abused.

I knew that girl as well as anyone could
You want to know her better? It'd better be understood
That she'll be your king, and you'll be her queen
Because that's the way it's always been
And that's the way it'll always be
Don't get me wrong, you're right
You know she'll blow your mind
But when the morning comes, yes, you'll surely find
There's nothing left of you, but plenty left of her
And now you're all alone and she's a Molotov rose.

We know a girl, and she's a Molotov rose.

Molotov Rose (Acoustic)

The needle floats down and crackles on the wax
The sound through my stereo brings me right back
To the times that we were invincible

I'm an EPI-FAT punk and I don't get the modern age
It's all about whining and moaning
And it's not a good show unless you get back stage.

So come on everybody in the room with a soul
Lets start a fucking pit tonight, it's time to rock and roll
Like Keith Richards on a bender, with Shane MacGowan in tow 
We'll drink and fight until the morning light 

We're never going home.

Life Was Really Great Until Simon Cowell Ruined It (Acoustic)

I Guess That's What Brains Look Like ( Cover )

This is a tongue in cheek bash on those of the Emo and Vegan persuasion. 

I couldn't be an emo (Acoustic)

This is a one track demo of the upcoming "Upstarts and Heretics" track from the "Credulous Lunacy" album. Its rough and unmastered. 

Upstarts and Heretics (Acoustic)

From ska-infused, punk-influenced acoustic songs, through to vicious, unrelenting hardcore with a full lineup, and back to the acoustic again, the south coast of England's finest punk rockers have been entertaining people up and down the country since 2007. They've played everywhere; from outdoor festivals through to sell-out shows and empty rooms, suffered through unreliable drummers, shifting members and unscrupulous promoters, and approached every situation with a sense of humour and dubious levels of sobriety, refusing to quit all the while. Currently comprising Shane Creech and Ross Sutcliffe, The Mistakes specialise in off-beat acoustic punk rock, covering life, the universe, and everything in between waking up in the morning and scrounging enough change from the back of the sofa to buy a pint. Previous releases include the first full-length LP, The Last Chance (2008), The Mistakes (LP, 2009), Molotov Rose (EP, 2012) and now Credulous Lunacy (LP, 2013). Bookings, press, and everything else should go to shanecreech@hotmail.co.uk.
