You are an open mic 
with an audience of one
you are an abandoned bike
rusting in the rain
you are a stabbing pain
you are an empty wallet 
on a grey sunday

were you scared that you might accidentally feel something?
the ring you stole for me turned my finger green
I was scared that I might accidentally feel something
or remember all the people that I've been

you are the appointment
that I never kept
you are the text I never sent
or never wrote at all
you are a missed call
you are a blocked shortcut
you are a shop that's shut
forever boarded up

were you scared that you might accidentally feel something?
the ring you stole for me turned my finger green
I was scared that I might accidentally feel something
or just remember all the people that I've been

what doesn't make you stronger
makes you so much weaker.

Accidentally

Recorded on 24-track tape at Abertawe Road Studios, Swansea.

Everything is a good idea

A bit of local history, this song tells a story about Swansea's Wind Street.

You can read in this light
but you're going to hurt your eyes
outside voices on the pavement
frozen in amazement at themselves

you are a beautiful fake
but there's something I can't shake
and it's all too much to take
on Beaujolais Day

You can suffer for your art
and you can tear yourself apart
but how long's it going to take you?
You could have gone to Ibitha 
but there was nobody there to meet you
and now you can't afford to go

the condom machine 
is not what it seems
and you don't know where you've been
on Beaujolais Day

you are a beautiful fake
but there's something I can't shake
and it's all too much to take
on Beaujolais Day

Beaujolais Day

Recorded at home during lockdown, this is a cover of a song we love, by Swansea band King of Despair. Have a listen to their album Harpoon, it's great.
