Can't move forward Can't move back I met a girl She gave me a heart attack She took me down Like a hurricane She wasn't just some Plain Jane My body hums can you sing along My body hums can you sing, along Can't go up Can't go down I met a girl She turned me right around She marched me down To the river Washed my sins away As I shivered My body hums can you sing along My body hums can you sing My body hums can you sing along My body hums can you sing, along.

Glasgow 03:03
Glasgow, let's go All the way down Heads low, down Abbey Road We bow to our heroes Ride the train out of this station We'll still fall in love Someday, somehow Bless the stars above Misery don't look good on me It don't look good on you Happiness is as fleeting as it sounds Don't worry about the stress Ride the train out of this station We'll still fall in love Someday, somehow Bless the stars above Ride the train out of this station We'll still fall in love Someday, somehow Bless the stars above Glasgow, let's go All the way down.

There's this band I know They're big in Tokyo I saw them at this show They played my favourite song But everyone was talking While I sang along I'm on the outside looking in At this mirror image, full of sin I'm on the outside looking in Waiting for hell to let me in My friends they went on tour They played to empty rooms And empty halls What's the point of making music Or making noise If nobody hears at all I'm on the outside looking in At this mirror image, full of sin I'm on the outside looking in Waiting for hell to let me in.

Like Zombies 03:40
It's early that I wake up And early to bed We live like zombies We sleep like the dead It's the patter of the rain On windowsills of gold And when it's cold, you're looking cold but we're We're looking cold Cold, we're looking cold It's the charade that we play When we don't know the name of the game Digging holes, nameless holes A nameless man, a nameless grave Cemetery gates A gale force wind, hark And when it's dark, you're looking dark but we're We're looking dark Dark, we're looking Hark now the angels sing goodnight And don't we feel alright In this cold morning light Hark now the angels sing goodnight And don't we feel like zombies Live to die again Footsteps down a hallway floor Whispers behind an open door You and I we realize we're just two halves Of something more Angels rise from the grave And start to flood this town You open up, you open up but we're We're closing down Down, we're closing down Down, down, down Hark now the angels sing goodnight And don't we feel alright In this cold morning light Hark now the angels sing goodnight And don't we feel like zombies Live to die again Hark now the angels sing goodnight And don't we feel alright In this cold morning light.

Two divers Seemingly lost at sea One turns to another and Says it ain't me Your smile's on the Quick ahead You're treading water and I'm left for dead And I know It's easy to get lost at sea And I know It's sink or swim for me And I know It's easy to get lost at sea And I know It's sink or swim for me Two sparks dance the Whole night through They light a fire Across the room Not knowing when to Stop playing around They burn the Whole house down And I know It's easy to get lost at sea And I know It's sink or swim for me And I know It's easy to get lost at sea And I know It's sink or swim for me And I know It's easy to get lost at sea And I know It's sink or swim for me And I know It's easy to get lost at sea And I know It's sink or swim for me It's sink or swim for me It's sink or swim for me.

You and I can't collide anymore It's true that we have seen the score We know the start, don't know our end All that really matters is, staying friends, against Hundreds of strong Hundreds of weak Hundreds of soldiers with their Heart on their sleeves Hundreds of steps Hundreds of feet But ours march to the same beat Oh, you and me can't be seen together It's true that we have been better We know the end, flipped to the back Read all the words, know our plan of attack, against Hundreds of strong Hundreds of weak Hundreds of soldiers with their Heart on their sleeves Hundreds of steps Hundreds of feet But ours march to the same beat Let me be the captain And you can draw the chart Love death away Every day and every part Let me be the captain Let me your captain, against Hundreds of strong Hundreds of weak Hundreds of soldiers with their Heart on their sleeves Hundreds of steps Hundreds of feet But ours march to the same beat March on through to April Slide through May and June Spend your days wishing for tomorrow It will be here soon.

about

Familiar to some? The original four tracks from this EP were released over a decade ago in 2013 and I decided to revisit them and polish them. I hope you love these tunes as much as I do - they are not in my regular rotation but playing them again brings me such fond memories.

You can find full versions of "Hums" and "Hindsight" on my LP, The Familiar.

I have also included two bonus tracks from recording sessions with a Lee Mulvey around 2014. "Sink Or Swim" and "Ides of March (Acoustic)" were both intended to be scratch tracks to record the rest of the tracks off of, but we weren't able to complete the recordings. I've done what I can to make these simple demos a bit more listenable!

Enjoy!
