about

Originally intended as an acoustic demo (circa 2009), then decided to add a few things on afterwards, hence some of the timing being slightly skewed. Oh to go back in time.
This featured me, for better or for worse, using an absolutely beautiful Fender Pedal-steel guitar for the first time ever. Turns out I could only cope with one string.

Simon Gutteridge: Vox, guitar, Fender Pedal Steel, organ, percussion.
Mat Roberts: Bass, drums, percussion.
Produced by Mat Robers & Simon Gutteridge

lyrics

You put a stake through my heart,
I pull myself together again but you still tear me apart
My days are black and filled with white noise, I’m back at school where you’re just a bully
And you steal all my toys.

Your roses bloom so bright,
I try to reach them but your thorns, they cut me like a knife
Such pointless pain and strife

I’ve got a new philosophy I’ll get down on my knees,
It never occurred that you’d be so hard to please
Maybe I’m wasting my time; I’m out of line, Need somebody to put me on the straight and narrow,
So just take my body and use me like a bow and arrow

Your roses bloom so bright,
Your bridges burn tonight
Your roses bloom so bright,
Like a full moon filling the sky on the darkest of nights

Your roses bloom so bright,
I try to reach them but your thorns, they cut me like a knife

Such pointless pain and strife
