You're a fragment of bone sticking out of my side I cry when you laugh and I pray we soon die I'm fragile and bitchy, yeah, but I'm no Richey You say that it's love I just say that you're pissed Don't kiss and tell whatever you've kissed I call you my boymerang I throw you away But you keep coming back You say you'll die for me Boy I just can't wait Slowly, spitefully Let's make hate So you've grown a beard and you look out of place How can I trust someone who can't trust their face Surely you know that's no way to behave How can I love a man who can't even shave Let's make it obvious let's make it clearer You're Michael Cera to my Michael Gira Take it for granted both our riffs are stolen But you're more James Hetfield and me I'm all Rowland Babe it's your film I'm a cameo And my walk-off part's going to steal the show You say you'll die for me Boy I just can't wait Slowly, spitefully Let's make hate

And so we've seen the world like this in our darkest dreams With no idea what this means No we've no idea what it means So I sigh and close my eyes now I'm living in sepia The truth runs deeper with colour washed out Whatever happened to the benefit of the doubt Well push just came to shove the goodwill all ran out And whatever happened to the life that we once knew What happened to me will happen to you The past is dead, just let it lie in peace Leave me here alone with my memories This means nothing anymore to me Prefer my truths to be plainly spoken My icons and heroes unbowed and unbroken Now and then a real truth is spoken But purely as a a token Whatever happened to the benefit of the doubt When it came down to it our goodwill all ran out And whatever happened to the life that we once knew What happened to me will happen to you too

You terrified the host With constant talk of ghosts But you really turned me on When everyone had gone And so consumed with lust I dreamt of blood and rust Futile and Christlike You fled into the night And I miss your smile Your grace and wit and style And I recall your name And I recall..... (And you can take the blame) Am I seer or liar? All lost in the cleansing fire

Oh how they fantasise with fanzine smiles Don't let youth go to waste Then they pull the ladder up behind them with undue haste And nothing I do now is original I'm living an homage Nothing I make is fully mine, my life's work a collage Walking on a knife's edge trying not to bleed Looking at the colours dull and recede Looking at the dullards do none of them read Snail on a razor blade trying not to bleed Looking at the colours dull and recede Looking at the dullards do none of them read Why not change the record it could change your life Words can hurt mine cut like a knife Change the record change your life Snail on a razorblade trying not to bleed In the absence there's nothing for me When clocks melt I'll feel all you've felt When clocks melt I'll feel all you've felt

Never Learn 05:16
It's no secret I adore you It's no secret I desire you Though I am not the one Your affection lingers on I continue to admire you Though a longing I'll confess to I have no wish to possess you For you are not an object For anyone to collect, it would be in no one's interests How I wish that I could forget you But I know I'd just fall for you again Seems that I never learn Yeah it seems that I never learn I guess I should've seen it coming I should've known from the beginning I should've known you'd run away from me Too long had I been winning It's a hollow victory what you've been doing to me Now I'm on my knees d'you see What you've been doing to me? Don't talk when I'm not in the room Don't gossip with your friends about me Don't even talk to yourself And stop stealing all my ideas Writing them all down And please stop saying I'm paranoid That's all anyone says How I wish that I could forget you But I know I'd just fall for you again Seems that I never learn Yeah it seems that I never learn

about

A collection of new tracks put together for you to listen to while queueing up outside a shop you ignore the other 364 days of the year to buy an overpriced reissue of something by an established act on a major label in the name of independence.
Various articles which can be easily found highlighting the problem of pressing plants being unable to print up releases on indie labels due to being booked up with majors repressing collections of old b-sides on white vinyl.
This release comes ahead of another free release from me, a full length album called Glow Ghosts In Subspace coming out on the 14th of July (Net Label Day) on Marilyn Roxie's Vulpiano Records.Sandalphon will be coming out on Small Bear Records in Autumn, more details to follow.
