about
This is our long overdue second EP, 'Paper Champion'. Have it, we can't stand it sitting on our hard drives any longer!

We started tracking drums for 'Paper Champion' back in April 2010. Everything was recorded at Phoenix Sound (www.phoenixsound.net) and we are eternally grateful to Pete Fielder for the use of such an amazing facility. Ruby and Steve mixed it in Steve's bedroom in our old house in Perivale.

Thank you to Jonas Molina for his performance on this record and good luck for the future big man!

This EP is dedicated to everyone who has kept any interest in what we do despite almost a year of inactivity. Thank you, we hope you enjoy it and that it was worth the wait. We are proud parents of this EP, we're hoping some people like it!

(If you like this, pass it around. It takes less than 30 seconds to share this little link and it helps us out a great deal.)

Track Name: An Itch And A Stitch
She's just a tease
he's just a boy in her sight
she takes him upstairs
he locks the door for the night
and things are getting pretty awkward
hard to say if this is real
at least it kills some time
she burns a candle
their shadows move in the light
I bet this won't look good in the morning
so play fair

This is a little uncomfortable
don't be so damn unreasonable
it's getting so hard to find some shame these days

This is a little uncomfortable
so just have some restraint you know
but she feels the tips of her fingers, itching to find out

Her head is spinning
she can't remember his name
so fast-forward
and the kid's on its way
what have you done, what have you done?

I know I joke but this is such a mess
so play fair

For every second that she tells herself this is love she hasn't learnt
Track Name: Pull Those Strings
She's got a curse and a sting on her lips that might just be contagious so I'll give it a miss
She's got a tattoo on the base of her hip that says you wanna see more of this

Oh no you gotta job so keep your head down it's not like you're the boss stop fooling around
Put out that fire on the tip of your tongue or you'll earn a reputation for one

So pull those strings
and watch them dance and sing,
You got a lot to, you got a lot to say, you got a lot to, you got a part to play

Shifty eyes as she enters the room, she makes sure you can hear but she"s not talking to you
Keep it smart whilst playing the fool or you're gunna have a lot to lose

Connecting minds, with flawless eyes, and I'm falling fast asleep
Track Name: Bad Cop, Worse Cop
Wake up I'm running late
Radio hesitate
The Morning pays for the night
Got an agenda to hide

Running my head is sore
These feet can't take much more
Now I'm a sight for sore eyes
I guess I've perfected these lies

Chin up you'll be ok
That's what they always say
I'm soaking through from this rain
And I've spent the last of my days

Doing your dirty work
I've got a lot to learn
I guess it's true what they say
and I'm sure I'll feel the same

But now I'm lying
a ghost and a secret life
the boy who sold his soul will never know
sell your soul and never know just what it's like
to walk on the other side
I've lost so many things
but it's ok

I lost my dignity
To someone else's dreams
Sarcasm burns me alive
I've got this room for the night

I choked and swallowed my pride
but it just made me sick
I said I'd be just fine
but it was all just a trick

I lose but keep the score
to help me hate you more
so twist my arm till it breaks
lets see how much I can take

You say you've got my back
but I say you're running fast
I feel I'm starting to fray
and I'll make the same mistakes

I may be down but I'm not out yet
Track Name: She Don't Say
You think you're so naive, well you're not afraid
to beg and cheat and steal
and make your own way
and I bet you don't look twice
when he's talking the blame
so don't look twice, he's not so nice
and you're on your way

but I know I look at you stare,
but I know I look at you stare away.

So for god's sake pull yourself together
she ain't listening to you anymore
and she don't say
and she don't wait, for anyone
for anything

You do your best to argue but you just can't win
and now he's selling you friendship to buy your trust
the scene sing 'sin'

To take this chance you must understand
I ain't messing around when I'm telling you
boys will be boys but you're not listening anyway

and they say
that the best is what you make it
but I'm a fool in spite of you
and I'm not inclined to feel the same way too

But if fate would make an offer
then I'll ignore the reasons why
but I'll just remember to
hold tight and take my advice

This storm is breaking us down
but I won't turn around and say

She don't say,
and she don't wait,
and she don't know she's unstoppable
Track Name: Through The Eye Of A Needle
He says he'll be just fine
as he cuts another line
he's soaking in his bed
with hallucinogen

He writes himself a note
for tomorrow he'll never know
how messed up is his head
'please don't do this again'

Painted walls, with all the colours of your soul
Voices call, they tell you all you need to know
Go, grow, jump into that hole
but you know they'll always find you when you fall
so you listen more

as the walls begin to close
this heat's unbearable
as the room becomes alive
with demons in the night

and he's bricking it he's breaking the walls
and it's turning, it's turning it rolls
and he's sweating to combat the cold?

Lets hope he keeps his faith
as the funeral procession awaits
but what shall we write on the slate?
'He was a poor boy who lost his way'

He takes a hit he hits the glass he hits the wall
broken bones and broken hearts is all they know
so accept the truth and I'll await the call
it's pathetic, sympathetic, am I not the only one who finds it odd?

Through the eye of a needle he sees
the world pass by as a dream
the curtain call hasn't been
but this is the final scene
