I Remember How Close We Used To Be 02:21
lyrics
buy track
Diamonds in water dressed up to the nines all of them witches with miserable lives there's a black cat sitting underneath a tree I remember how close we used to be I remember how close we used to be Voices are telling me go to sleep heart is pounding, I'm counting sheep but my flowers have died far across the sea I remember how close we used to be I remember how close we used to be Being alone is hard on the nails I'm not the one who's been telling tales there's a place in Hell for all of my friends and me I remember how close we used to be I remember how close we used to be

A Trip Down Enemy Lane 02:39

I saw you standing waiting, stealing kisses in the rain on a trip down enemy lane You saw me drinking thinking that I was on the same train on a trip down enemy lane This was news to me I never meet anyone This was news to you too Your love blinded everyone I saw you laughing gassing, pump it into my brain on a trip down enemy lane a trip down enemy lane This was news to me I never meet anyone This was news to you too Your love blinded everyone I saw you standing waiting, stealing kisses in the rain on a trip down enemy lane You saw me drinking thinking that I was on the same train on a trip down enemy lane a trip down enemy lane

I'm not afraid to look I'm ready to turn the next page in the book and I'll try to make everything better 'cause I know it's on the line I'm not afraid to steal I'm ready again to take charge of the wheel and I'll try to make everything better 'cause I love you more than he can love you Sarah I dare ya to tell him that you've made a big mistake this time Sarah I dare ya to tell him that you've made a big mistake this time I'm not afraid to smile suddenly life will come back for a while and I'll try to make everything better 'cause I know it's on the line I'm not afraid to lie I'm ready again to poke love in the eye and I'll try to make everything better 'cause I love you more than he can love you Sarah I dare ya to tell him that you've made a big mistake this time I'm not afraid to feel the feeling inside just as long as it's real and I'll try to make everything better 'cause I love you more than he will ever love you Sarah I dare ya to tell him that you've made a big mistake this time Sarah I dare ya to tell him that you've made a big mistake this time

You were so in love I thought you were, you were mine All the comforts of home and still alone, alone Too many times is not too many times for us Too many times is not too many times for us You were so in love I thought you were, you were mine All the comforts of home and still alone, alone Too many times is not too many times for us Too many times is not too many times for us

Paper Trail 03:00
lyrics
buy track
Seems like I'm not ready to forgive nothing too extraordinary, two lives that had to live Oh you pretty things will always find a way to make the most of every broken heart in sight The paper trail leads back to you The paper trail leads back to you I was down to my last fifteen notes I watched them fall into the water and sink instead of float Mother tell me where did I go wrong? I loved her more than love itself, I played for far too long The paper trail leads back to you The paper trail leads back to you Sunday girl loves Saturday's in June She climbs aboard her broomstick and flies underneath the moon secrets can be good for you sometimes then there are the demons who cast spells between the lines The paper trail leads back to you The paper trail leads back to you The paper trail leads back to you The paper trail leads back to you

about

FREE EP number 9!
All songs were written & recorded the week after I got back from Spain (apart from 'Paper Trail' which I wrote in early January)
I was full of cold & felt like shit ..as a result I sound even more washed out than normal, but I got a few songs down anyway.

'Sarah I Dare Ya' is my favourite. It reminds me of something The Searchers would have done on one of their 70s records.
'Too Many Times..' is potentially a bit good too I think.

Hope there's a song here for you.

recording wise I took the drum beats off youtube, played a Fender Strat, an epiphone acoustic, harmonica and a 'First Defence Nasal Spray' bottle to do the slide parts on 'I Remember How Close We Used To Be'
'Paper Trail' was recorded with the settings messed up which is why it sounds so hissy, but I decided to leave it that way.
