Can't capture all the stories Running round your skin The snow that crusts the window as I Let the raindrops in And watch decaying slush on the Impatient pavement The Americans tell me that I must have been somewhere else The words that pass between us without So much as a by your leave I see them empty happy smiling Faces through the leaves they plummet The weather's always changing And I can't Find the room within myself I thought I was the centre But I must have been somewhere else I must

Blue tooth dead set Where do you think you're going? You haven't cleaned the farm yet And mother will be home very very soon Blue tooth dead set We've got to stick together I know that your hairs filthy But your suit is made of leather The cows are all so angry They think its their brother I tell them otherwise But they don't listen And don't you go telling me I'm no good I've got nothing to lose but my acne And don't you go telling me I'm too young All I've got to lose is my acne Blue tooth dead set We need you so much more And nothing can compare to the romance Of fighting in the shit While the sun goes down behind Blue tooth dead set And don't you go telling me I'm not alright I've got nothing to lose but my acne And don't you go telling me I'm too young I'm full of puss and covered in acne Blue tooth dead set

This is another rut in the bathroom Motion white sick stain Imperial justice doled out on a pounds to kilos scale My ulcers playing up again I watching myself in a distance film And I’ve had the whole thing ruined Snowblind Saturday And what happens when the rats will come And ask me if I love my country

M A S Just give me one good reason Thirty Eight All of Italy and a firing squad The time is now Sometimes killing is not murder I can’t wait to see Try to run A hundred ants to mock your statues Try to love But nothing comes out except poison M A S 38’s a national Cure and I can’t wait to see All the people in the street will say it’s just good fortune but I know M A S The hunter has become the hunted Thirty Eight Blood and badges will be scattered round And how high Would you like your lamp post Honey I can’t wait to see All the people in the street will think it's just good fortune but I know And all the people in the street the ones that used to fear you I know And all the people in the street the ones that come to jeer you I know Call us turncoats Call us reds We’ll put a spike into your heads Call us heroes

Hey! Rasputin A bitter snow has covered London All the creeps are out in force I rally them with police and circus The revolution by a rotting door Hey! Rasputin Eat your heart out You don't know what you are doing Baton down the hatches The hurricane is here Eat your free lunches The hurricane will not disappear or dissipate on impact Hey! Rasputin Hey! Jean-Paul Satre Have you met Rasputin

What can be politely said Of stormy television head Who lifts his limp eyes slowly to the sky And lets down all the people with a sigh?

On the beacon lost Sure enough the magnet falls On our empty peaceful lives And find home And find home waiting Leave us Leave us be And find home And find home waiting Uuuuuuh Embrace kids foundation Helping children with...

about

This album features some of my amazing friends Theo Gowans (aka the borderline national treasure that is Weirdly Warm) and Jonny Davis, my partner in crime in Fresh Kills and bassist for Witchgrass.

"PMICFWSHDTM" was written when I was about 10 or 11 and sounds as fresh today as a salmon that has been in the heart of the sun for six years.

"Porcelain Dog" isn't about me trying to relate to someone having a fit, but that's what I think about when I hear it now.

"St Cola" is a true story.

I love you all.
