Farce 02:40
The Can't fin the answer It's locked up where they ought to be The wine and the banter It's all go in the office But we're all in this together until the very end And we all call farce then they pull the wool again It's one rule for us and another rule for the makers They send out the fuzz and inhibit the papers It's hard to decipher the bullshit from the evident but you can't kid a Fifer and manifest malevolent

I was up before 7 pulled a shirt over my head Made my way down to the kitchen for some breakfast But there was nothing in the fridge Cause I forgot to shop for it Now I'm going to work completely unreplenished Now I've had a dozen coffee's and I've had a dozen fgas cause i was up till early in the morning and it's typical of me to be too wired to sleep so forgive me later if you catch me yawning I'll tak the high road and you'll tak the low road must be nice to have comtrol of your habits but I'd rather be like me tha be dead before I'm deid I'll have plenty of time to rest in my coffin I got nothing done today cause I forgot to rest my brain and my boss is at my desk and he's moaning He said all your work is late and I'm up to here with it so you'll be signing on in the morning Then I went back to my home and thanked god I was alone Didn't notice that the house was like a bomb site And I done nothing at all Till my wife came home and yelled You'll be sleeping on the couch for another night

City Bar 02:26
I'm playing in a city bar tonight I'm playing all the usual shite learned evey song by that band your uncle love and though folk'l chitter chatter I don't mind That's just the nature of the ride got to give 'em what the like Or more or less And I'll turn the amplifier to the roof but you won't hear me from your hoose I'm not on TV, I'm in the toon so it's really up to you you can catch a real boy strumming along to his real life pain But i won't be here every day I'm playing in your local bar tonight That's 40 miles I'm gonna drive and I know you've got a million things to do and so little time But if you could spare an hour for a pint I swear I'll play something you like And I'll get paid and I will live another day

All the beasts that I've seen All the roads I've run I come from a long line of sinners and I guess I'm also one Deep deep in me I'm yearning with your ghost so close to me I just need to keep moving I'm in no mood to die You can lead a horse to the water You can circulate your lies Your can through me down to the gutter but you'll never take me alive For good I'm heading on now Free from the things I've done I'm too old to be a wandering soul and I've not one intent to die deep deep in me I'm burning next to your ghost as cold as ice Better keep wandering Cause i've no intent to die

The Risk 02:56
We work hard for our money we have done for years we work hard for a couple of beers a couple of our friends are into the same scene as us so we try to meet up with them when we're available I've got a cupboard in my house full of unfinished whisky that'll never get drunk I'd like to think some day I might convince some'dy to come with sit with me sit with me drink with me We were so full of whimsy in the old days we were always preoccupied mostly with ourselves and our images ominous fragrances unfinished cadences completely oblivious to the tyrany of gravity Oh when you live in a box there isn't a moment to contemplate loss When you're completely lost It's embarressing, damaging when you're coming in harsh like you're the sum of all things when you're coming in hard Come with me now forget the risk we could have been so much better than this

Vessel 02:34
I plunged my car into the sea so see if I could sail A Ford Escort to any port A million miles away But the sea is cold the sea is deep so deep that I can see that a car is not a vessel you can sail across the sea The water seeped through the cracks and holes and soaked me to the bone and at that moment I could see how this was gonna go A sudden dread came over me My body shook with fear of all the tales that ever I told My story endeth here

about

I came up with City Bar and thought it sort of suited me.The energy and the absence of a need be perfect. So I threw myself into a folk-punk project and this is the result. Some of it is absolutely ridiculous but it's catchy and I had a lot of fun recording it. It's all about fun actually and I can't wait to play this stuff on stage. Please feel free to pay a little more for this album if you like, it is very much appreciated and please come and see me live...

"and I'll turn the amplifier to the roof but you won't hear me from your hoose, I'm not on TV, I'm in the toon so it's really up to you, you can catch a real boy strumming along to his real life pain, but I won't be here every day."
