about

My latest single, mixed at Swindon's legendary Earthworm Studios

lyrics

Tears burn hot steel
Bruises don’t heal
All the tricks in the book
Won’t hide all you try to conceal
There’s one soul left screaming
We know that of course
Still we dance round disaster
To yesterday’s waltz

Our planets collided
Our secrets confided
We chased it and tried it
And tossed it and fried it
There’s a chill morning whisper
Howling down from the north
As we dance through disaster
To yesterday’s waltz

Why do we come? Where do they go?
The fruit’s not for picking
Though we tried it I know
There’s a flash and a shudder
Waves crash and thunder
And we’re gently dragged under
To yesterday’s waltz

There’s a beauty together
There’s a sorrow forever
We could have lived for the now
But we opted for never
We took one spin of the wheel
One sip of the sauce
Then danced into disaster
To yesterday’s waltz

And now in my hollow
I’m haunted by visions
You smile in my soup bowl
Your laugh on the stair
I smell your scent hanging softly
As I walk through these halls
Where we danced with disaster
To yesterday’s waltz
