This is a demo from 2008 - maybe one of the first songs we ever recorded, before Tom joined the band.
I've had to do a bodge job and cut out some of the REALLY glaring errors. Don't worry, I left some in.
Another that could have been easier to lose for good, but it seems like a nice track to end this compilation on.
lyrics
I found myself, again, on the wrong side of the game. I can't hold your hands because yours are tied, but I'll kiss your cheek and feel your face on mine. Without knowing who's to blame I'm in for some pain. But I don't fear the consequence in these circumstance.
Today's my lucky day (words I thought I'd never say) and I'm oblivious to the dangers that are obviously in the way. Just look at the facts; if you study them you won't turn back. There's nothing more I can do to fight the thought of you.
Here we go again sitting blocked off by the pain of not being able to have a chance at being over our heads in pure romance. One day we'll catch the train for a seaside stretch, or possibly we'll get on the first plane to never return again.
Why won't you listen to your heart? It's probably the perfect place to start. I'll kill the sharks that swim around you keeping us apart. So for the next time; I'm still prepared to lay my battered body on the line, as for you I would do every single time.
I found myself, again, on the wrong side of the game. I can't hold your hands because yours are tied, but I'll kiss your cheek and feel your face on mine. Without knowing who's to blame I'm in for some pain. But I don't fear the consequence in these circumstance.
Bouncy, urgent, raucous indie rock, anthemic yet unpredictable; this Oxford, U.K. trio sounds defiantly full of life. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 28, 2020
