I Didn't Mean To, Did You? 01:29
lyrics
buy track
Take a little cut and rub it into sand and with your other hand draw a tired face Where you going after work? I'd like to know Maybe we could go together and drink until we both cry I didn't mean to did you? I didn't mean to did you? I didn't mean to did you? Jesus Christ you're on the phone all through the night I lost my appetite I thought I was enough for a girl who talks about what kindness brings every time she sings it's somehow not enough to forgive I didn't mean to did you? I didn't mean to did you? I didn't mean to did you?

You Have Such A Beautiful Smile 02:15
lyrics
buy track
I want someone to believe that I'm worth more than what you see I can't stand this, indecision turned your gaze away from me I fell asleep your legs between, but only for a while You have such a beautiful smile So I spent the day watching the game united in denial You have such a beautiful smile How I wish it was mine Substitution no time wasting, how did you think I would feel? Did he see you get home safely? Was this planned so shamefully? I didn't sleep, I couldn't eat, I re-traced every mile You have such a beautiful smile So I spent the day watching the game united in denial You have such a beautiful smile How I wish it was mine I walked back to the bus station scared and bruised internally Hotel room so dry and empty, will you return eventually? I fell asleep no one between but only for a while You have such a beautiful smile So I spent the day watching the game united in denial You have such a beautiful smile How I wish it was mine

What A Gift You Were 02:28
lyrics
buy track
Stop me if I go too far, remind me that there is a star in the sky behind the crooked trees By the time the truth is told a lie's halfway around the world I never stood a chance Why should I try? What a gift you were What a gift you were Sober I remember why I worry nearly every night and think about how lonely people die Sunset in the afternoon, last breath in an empty room Close your eyes to no one No one cries What a gift you were What a gift you were Jeans and your shoes on the ground, I walk between without a sound I didn't want to wake you from a dream I would have done my best for you, not enough now I can do To change your mind turn water into wine What a gift you were What a gift you were

No, no, no don't tell me don't tell me how you feel You know this isn't right You know this can't be right No, no, no don't tell me don't tell me not to care I saw it in their eyes everyone inside The embarrassing times of London The embarrassing times of London No, no, no don't tell me don't tell me life is good It's good enough for you maybe it's good enough for you The embarrassing times of London The embarrassing times of London No, no, no don't tell me don't tell me that you're hurt You do it to yourself You do it to yourself No, no, no don't tell me don't tell me that you're sad You're happy every night You're so so happy every night The embarrassing times of London The embarrassing times of London

This Went On All Night Again 02:30
lyrics
buy track
I was talking to my Dad about why I'm always sad He said, said it's up to you to show the world what you can do This went on all night again This went on all night again and I'm tired again I was talking to a girl she said we live in separate worlds Don't give, don't give up on you someday someone will love you too This went on all night again This went on all night again and I'm tired again I was talking to a friend about God and everything She said faith will let you down there's no one when it matters now This went on all night again This went on all night again and I'm tired again

about

I hadn't planned on this one but here's a very raw, straight out of the box collection of acoustic songs.
It's another sickly effort so excuse the coughing & whispered tones.
These truly are first takes and also the first time I've written a set of songs where I wrote the lyrics first (the only other time I've done that was for the song 'Just Another Regular Summer')
They were all written in bed yesterday morning.

It's just me & an acoustic guitar straight into the 4-track, with a bit of delay/reverb added afterwards.

enjoy.
