    The Special People EP is a little taste of what's to come in September when I finally get to let everyone hear the album I've been working on for so long. I holed up in Big Jelly Studios in Ramsgate for three weeks last September with Chris Hayden in the producers chair. There are five songs on the EP, some old and some new, four are mine and one is a cover of The Velvet Underground. Margo Broom co-produced and mixed the title track, 'Gargoyle' is on there which was recorded and mixed by Harry Armstrong at Canterbury Christ church University and there are two rough cuts from the album sessions last September. The band and I are hitting the road in support of the release. Catch us at our headline shows in May.

lyrics

Solider, this is what it looks like
moved here just a year ago
under seaside politics we find 
it’s easy if you keep your friends close

Damage done by Spitfire dog fights, 
leaves piles of concrete dust.
And the waves tell ancient stories 
but they don’t have a clue about us.

I close my eyes shut my mouth
swallow my pride, move down south
I close my eyes shut my mouth 
swallow my pride, move down south

Farewell! Technicolor sunset
Goodbye! Miss america’s son,
and the icons you all live with
with their fingers on the idiot gun.
Damage done by spitfire dogfights 
leaves piles of concrete dust
and the waves tell ancient stories
but they don’t give a fuck about us

I close my eyes shut my mouth, swallow my pride move down south
I close my eyes shut my mouth, swallow my pride move down south

Is it easier just to walk away? Is it all the same to  you? 
Would you change your mind if I were to tell you nothing I said was true
Would you leave? 
Would You Leave? 
Would You Leave?

I close my eyes shut my mouth, 
swallow my pride, move down south
I close my eyes shut my mouth, 
swallow my pride, move down south
