Anniversary 04:17
He left me with myself and not much more He left me with myself and not much more The window's broken, and the wall's are crying beer formed tears shimmy down my walls and stain my bed oh my darling the tea cup slipped the things I smashed were an accident my arms swing round, forgive you forgive you and clench, I hate you.... want to hurt you Where did this nausea come from How could it be so quick and I'm rocking back and forth now But I can't sleep in my house I feel like an unwelcome guest Would you like to have her here in my bed One room away but we couldn't be further apart Oh it's so cold on Coldharbour Lane tonight (Oh it's so cold) Oh it's so cold on Coldharbour Lane tonight (Oh it's so cold) I'm breaking in pieces and choking on our last kiss Imagining I could taste her on your lips How could you, you son of a bitch I can't get enough air and I feel .... sick Hey hey Jonny Hey Arlene, Hey hey Jonny hey Arlene Did you get your kicks, I bet they're laughing Hunter baby this cardboard ain't so thick I'm on fire but I can't stop shaking Oh it's so cold on Coldharbour Lane tonight (Oh it's so cold) Oh it's so cold on Coldharbour Lane tonight (Oh it's so cold) And if I had the chance I would shake her, I would break her And if I had the chance I would shake her, I would break her Anniversary Anniversary (Anniversary) Anniversary

Blind me, blur my vision I see too clear Just for a little while let me drown Let me swim, in warm pretty lights let me breathe in, warm clouds of smoke and swirl and twirl, like that pretty girl Up there, up there from here her blond hair, her blond hair looks pink Just for, a little while, I could drown.... In warm brown ale I sink my head and try to swim But I could never drown In your head Talking backwards in garbled words Her pretty little voice splits me in two I wish I wish I wish for more but get drunk instead silently screaming silently screaming I'm silently dreaming Hold me, grip me tight I might fly Your hand, steers me straight, I always crash Oh, wind that lasso cowboy, Your needs and wants are smacking through me like a whip She's dancing, she's flying, My God am I sinking She's dancing, she's flying.....My God! I pick myself up, I am swimming off the beer stained floor, someone's drowning I lick your boots with the tip of my tongue He parades, the trophy around, he's wrapped in red red ribbons While she slides pretty pinkness, beneath your coat I follow, with pretty blind eyes She wants you, but I don't mind.... I want ....

See & Around 04:16
See and around See and around I see in the middle I see in between I see things that I don't want to see I see what you mean All these things surround me try and make me what I don't want to be No comfort in others being worse of than me We are not smiling We are not smiling We are not smiling Something isn't right, something isn't right See and around See and around I'm like a fly on the wall now I don't like what I see I wrote the words down before you said them to me It all seemed quite content then two strangers in a room I'm not alone but alone not alone but alone did you get what you wanted did you get what you wanted We are not smiling We are not smiling We are not smiling Something isn't right, something isn't right, something isn't right

about

Sometimes before moving forward, it's nice to take a glance back. Although I have been performing in bands since I was 14 in one guise or another, I never had an actual record out until I self released my debut cd "The Demo Seeds" in 2007. And that release helped me to be in the process now of recording my new cd which will be released in 2013 which I am so excited about. However there are still so many songs I have yet to put out or re record. Here is a sample from the first incarnation of my band The Heroines. I hope you will enjoy my younger self and be kind to my mistakes and imperfections as I am not always but I still have a fondness for these songs and indeed ....Anniversary remains a song I still would very much like to re-record and remains a favourite of mine. I hope you enjoy!
