Lyrics:

True love will find you in the end.
You'll find out just who was your friend.
Don't be sad, I know you will,
But don't give up until
True love will find you in the end.

This is a promise with a catch
Only if you're looking can it find you.
'Cause true love is searching too,
But how can it recognise you
Unless you step out into the light, the light?
Don't be sad, I know you will,
But don't give up until
True love will find you in the end.

True Love Will Find You in the End

"The Velvet Cell" (Gravenhurst cover) from William Robertson's third album "Echoings".

Lyrics:

To understand the killer
I must become the killer.
And I don't need this violence anymore,
But now I've tasted hatred I want more.

To understand the killer
I must become the killer.
And I don't need this violence anymore,
But now I've tasted hatred I want more.

The velvet cell within men
Gloriously rusted masks
Grey death heart crocuses.
The velvet cell.

And I had always thought
The desire to kill was a disease you caught.
But it's dormant in the hearts of everyone,
Waiting for a spark, an emotion.

The velvet cell within men
Gloriously rusted masks
Grey death heart crocuses.
The velvet cell.

The Velvet Cell

"Django" (Brutus cover) from William Robertson's third album "Echoings".

Lyrics:

I would never aim for your heart,
I would hit your head.
Lonely days are over since the day we met.

Aah

I would never aim for your heart,
I would hit your head.
Lonely days are over since the day we met.

Aah

I'm never gonna leave your house
I wish that I could stay forever.

I would never aim for your heart
I would hit your, I would hit your head.

Aah

I'm never gonna leave your house,
I wish that I could stick forever.
I'm never gonna leave your house, Django.

"Am I Wry? No" (Mew cover) from William Robertson's third album "Echoings".

Lyrics:

Farah, now that we're here
Can you tell me exactly how I should have done?
Farah drives with her eyes closed.
Do you ever inflict unwanted memories?

I know you
And I know it won't take you long
To make me smile.

Farah, angelic girl,
I'll have you know it's you and me potentially.
Farah, don't pull the carpet
From under me. Indifference is killing me.

Am I Wry? No

"The Reasons" (The Weakerthans cover) from William Robertson's third album "Echoings".

Lyrics:

How I don't know how to sing,
I can barely play this thing,
But you never seem to mind
And you tell me to fuck off
When I need somebody to.
How you make me laugh so hard.
How whole years refuse to stay
Where we told them to, bad dog.
Locked up whining in a word
Or a misplaced souvenir.
How the past chews on your shoes
And these memories lick my ear.

I know you might roll your eyes at this,
But I'm so glad that you exist.

How we waste our precious time
Marching in the picket lines
That surround those striking hearts
And the time is never now
And we know who we should love,
But we're never certain how.

I know you might roll your eyes at this,
But I'm so glad that you exist.
I know you might roll your eyes at this,
But I'm so glad that you exist.

I know you might roll your eyes at this,
But I'm so glad that you exist.
