about

Another demo from the 'For Faye, Not So Long Ago' sessions of Summer '08.

This time one that let the vodka overtake the rhythm when it came to wayward percussion. I have the stems but no grid, so an awful lot of free hand editing would be required to remix it and shave off the sloppy perc.

Also the canny vodkist has also of course, managed to lift from Green Day, Nirvana, Oasis and Ash all at the same time! The Four Musketeers! All for one and none for all.

Well sure modern life is rubbish anyway.

A song about running away and getting followed and running away and getting followed and running away...

lyrics

SKIN
================================================

I SHED MY SKIN A LONG TIME AGO
NO LONGER HAD ANYTHING IN COMMON WITH IT
I USED THE LOVE THE WAY IT WASHED OVER ME
BUT NOW I JUST FEEL SO DROWNED BY IT

TAKE ME AWAY
FROM THE RIVERS AND THE LAKES
TAKE ME AWAY
I WANT SOMETHING MUCH MORE PLASTIC AND FAKE

SO I TRIED A DIFFERENT SHADE OF PALE
YOU DECIDED THAT YOU WOULD FOLLOW TOO
BUT WHY'D YOU HAVE TO DRAG YOUR BIG WET ASS HERE
HOW THE HELL AM I EVER GONNA GET AWAY FROM YOU?

TAKE ME AWAY
FROM THE RIVERS AND THE LAKES
TAKE ME AWAY
I WANT SOMETHING THAT FEELS MUCH MORE FAKE

I USED TO THINK THAT WE COULD BOTH FIND OUR WAY HOME
I USED TO BELIEVE IN FAIRYTALES
I USED TO THINK THE SHIT WAS THERE TO MAKE ME STRONG
I USED TO BELIEVE IN ALL KINDS OF SHIT

TAKE ME AWAY
FROM THE RIVERS AND THE LAKES
TAKE ME AWAY
I WANT SOMETHING MUCH MORE PLASTIC AND FAKE

TAKE ME AWAY
FROM THE RIVERS AND THE LAKES
TAKE ME AWAY
I WANT SOMETHING THAT FEELS MUCH MORE FAKE
