As I throw stones
I know that I'll find home 
As sure as Brighton Rocks on the pier
And now I hope to find some piece of mind 
As sure as Brighton Rocks on the pier

And I walked round today 
I threw in the towel today
And all I thought of was you 
Vacant clouds around 
They made no sound again 
But all they talked of was you 

And she said 'Dont you worry baby, it's alright by me' 

A painting of the truth 
And my mis spent youth 
Is pure as Brighton Rocks on the pier
You say that I'm uptight 
But it's not black and white 
As sure as Brighton Rocks on the pier

And I walked round today 
I threw in the towel today
And all I thought of was you 
Vacant clouds around 
They made no sound again 
But all they talked of was you 

And she said 'Dont you worry baby, it's alright by me' 

As the waves coming crashing in 
I can see your face again 

And she said 'Dont you worry baby, it's alright by me'

Brighton Rocks

Brighton Rock

You say cant you just say the right thing
You know I always say the wrong things
But you, you always see the good things in me 

And you, you waited for the long road
You waited for the hard times 
You waited for the tears to come 

You smiled at me
Across the room 

You say cant you just let me in 
You know it's hard for me but I'll try
You know I'll push out all the bad things 
And the demons in our life

Things

The Evelyns are a band born during lockdown. Recordings made separately, in spare bedrooms, across different parts of Birmingham. The enforced simplicity of their sound bears songs that shimmer brightly with a beauty found only in the mundane.

'Brighton Rock' and 'Things' are songs written years ago but make the most sense now. Songs about staring out to sea watching waves crashing in, and of  stolen smiles across crowded rooms, buzz with a desire for things to be 'normal' again.

The Evelyns are a musical side project made up of members from Goodnight Berlin and Every Thread.

The Evelyns are; Adam Blair, Zoë Titchener and Mike Weston.
