Hometown Blues (lyrics)

Hometown Blues

The arcade’s up and the factory’s down Foxes and vagrants are scouring the backstreets Cobbled nostalgia is aching bare feet and everywhere you look there are tumbling broadsheets

An eyeful of diamonds, the bottle you smashed Everybody’s drinking from cracked plastic glasses I found a penny in [...]

Hometown Blues

This is a song I recorded a long time ago, in those halcyon days of my university haze, with Mr Mike Foyle. It’s about looking out at your hometown and realising that maybe it’s not all that.

Ha-ha-happy Valentine’s Day

Kind of a rerun today, but here’s a bitter little number I wrote about categorically not being in love.

I hope you all have a wonderful Dead Saints Day.
