1. Happy Birthday Love Verse 1 I'm gonna’ wright a song for you. To tell you all the things that I wanted to. You’re gettin’ older that was the deal. I am too but it’s not the way I feel. Pre-Chorus When we’re together we’re ageless. Forever together there's no end in sight for us. Verse 2 I’m gonna’ spend my life with you Just because it’s what I wanna’ do. I'm getting older, more like my dad you said. You're a little like your mother but we knew this when we wed. Pre-Chorus When we’re together we’re ageless. Forever together there's no end in sight for us. Chorus I don’t always say the words that are hard to say. I love you, hey happy birthday. I don’t always say the words that are hard to say. I love you, hey happy birthday. Verse 3 Look there’s a spider on our warm wooden floor. I might make you catch it but I'll tip it out the door. Thunder spiders’ and horrible people and the things that squeak or squeal. Heartbeats in league nothing divide us, that was the deal. Pre-Chorus When we’re together we are fearless. Forever together there's no end in sight for us. Chorus I don’t always say the words that are hard to say. I love you, hey happy birthday. I don’t always say the words that are hard to say. I love you, hey happy birthday.

2. Piss Off In Love Verse 1 Didn’t know I loved you, thought love was supposed to make me cry? Turns out that wasn’t love, creepin’ along by my side. This circle of life, I see the world as a heartless place. People they pass me by, but I find rescue in your face. Your voice is golden toned, I listen to it and I smile. When I don’t hear you speak, I’m sad if it’s been a while. Chorus And as long as I have you. I’ll have a home, a sense of belonging to. I’ll never leave your for too long. But every now and then I’ll be gone. Verse 2 We don’t need any rules we’ll make it up as we go along. No 5 year plan, counting down all year long. Marry me yesterday, won’t you save me from my past? With you I’ve found my way, I never had to ask. Chorus And as long as I have you. I’ll have a home, a sense of belonging to. I’ll never leave your for too long. But every now and then I’ll be gone. Bridge I know it sounds the truth. Now I’m right glad I bumped into you. Life wasn’t great before we crossed paths. Only 7 years ago it was. Very few are as lucky as us. Every-one else can piss off. In love, in love, in love, in love, in love, in love, in love. Instrumental break Verse 3 Why are people so selfish? They just take what you can get. Wait you’ll find your way, don’t become another dick head. I smile with gritted teeth, for the world beyond you and me. We are in love, the two of us is family. Chorus And as long as I have you. I’ll have a home, a sense of belonging to. I’ll never leave your for too long. But every now and then I’ll be gone. Outro I’ll be coming home to you. I’ll be coming home to you. I’ll be coming home to you. I’ll be coming home to you. Coming home to you. I’ll be coming home to you. I’ll be coming home to you. I’ll be coming home to you. I’ll be coming home to you. I’ll be coming home to you. I’ll be coming home to you.

3. Too Bad In Love Verse 1 You don’t see me crying over you, I’ll do my crying alone. I don’t wait until I’m in your arms then let it all go. You won’t see me weepin’ away in the corner alone. I wait until I feel safe before I let go. Chorus And I heard love hurt, too bad, enough. You’re so sad, I’m not, sad at all. Some people say I’m not, some people lie when hurt. So they wait and they’re alone. Verse 2 And my fear of tears, my minds unclear, why I was crying at all. I was under the weather, feeling the pressure, I slipped I didn’t let go. I have no faith to be tested, human nature detested by my one and all. I’m a heartbeat, you make my heart beat, I just don’t know. Chorus And I heard love hurt, too bad, enough. You’re so sad, I’m not, sad at all. Some people say I’m not, some people lie when hurt. So they wait and they’re alone. Verse 3 So I stand and smile, stare for a short while, then say nothing at all. I day dream of what could be then watch you go. If I found a voice I’d make the choice and in love we’d fall. Then safe in your arms, I would feel, I could cry and let go. Outro And I know love hurts. Too bad, it’s tough. With you I’m in love.

4. Cheating On Me Verse 1 So I heard you got a secret lover and you hide him under the covers at night. Are you cheating on me? Where do you go when I’m not around? When the tree falls does it make a sound? Tonight, are you cheating on me? I have faith but there’s no proof. Smoke without fire I’ll set the truth alight. Yes you’re cheating on me! It’s not like I’ve never seen this before. I’ve been here, I’ve walked across this floor, I’m right! Yes you’re cheating on me! Bridge If we are one then, one is a lonely crowd. So if you’re the one then. I add to nothing, I am nothing, I am nothing. Verse 2 I just know you got a secret lover too. He's there under, there I’ll uncover you, hold tight! Are you cheating on me? What’s really going on in your mind? How do you disguise the evil behind your eyes? Ye’ you’re cheating on me! Bridge If we are one then, one is a lonely crowd. If I am wrong then, let me explain I’m not so proud. I add to nothing, I am nothing, because…. Outro I cheated on you I cheated on you I cheated on you I cheated on you I cheated on you I cheated on you I cheated on you

5. Making Amends Verse 1 When a sun shaped smile from a long slender neck of a crocodile. A lion’s lost his head and the mane remains. Held in melted sands time ticks down. Hear the lies, a good man? Well he's making amends. Verse 2 Then the pen writes love on the flat card hanging dead from a flower bud. A tear forms when read heartbeat, beat, beats. Dripping down tears fall to the ground. Telling truths, he fooled around. Well he's making amends. Bridge But she loves bunch of flowers and you know it’s not ok. Its not even a start. For your broken sweet heart. On a week day. You do it anyway. He’s playing away Verse 3 And his Money buys take back, thumb down, thorn bled, gift wrapped. Sofa bed, forgive forget. Washing whites, white sheets, rinse repeat. Next time, he won’t get caught he’ll be less indiscreet. Well that’s making amends? Outro For when you blame yourself, that’s making amends. For when you blame yourself, that’s making amends. For when you blame yourself, that’s making amends. For when you blame yourself, that’s making amends. Amends, amends, amends, amends, amends.

about

Although I hadn’t intended to write such a country sounding record as it developed in that direction, I embraced it gladly. I did however want to create a retro sounding record with a vinyl aesthetic, something that I have a fixation with. My aim was to create something that could be a cool charity shop find by an unknown artist. I wanted it to have a vintage sound, feel, look and even smell to it! This retro idea being inspired by artist like Jake Bugg, Imelda May and Jack White. Also, by the studios like Sugar Ray's Vintage Recording Studio that hold this aesthetic in high regard. The instrumentation and overall sound I want is one that would be able to fit alongside songs like ‘Dave Edmunds - I Hear You Knocking’ or ‘Walk on hot coals - Rory Gallagher’, songs that I first heard on crackly vinyl, through my Dads Dansette record player.
