Uncompahgre Records “Every town
Has its ups and down
Sometime ups
Outnumber the downs
But not in Nottingham
I'm inclined to believe
If we weren't so down
We'd up and leave
We'd up and fly if we had wings for flyin'
Can't you see the tears we're cryin'?
Can't there be some happiness for me?
Not in Nottingham”

1.
You could own an American home / You could own an American home too/ Eric’s house / sky blue pink Some day soon.
2.
No way but there you are / I guess you’re the same way / Delayed slow lunar path/a moon rising hrough the day / - /I know we’re in different spaces/ t’s all just so strange to me / one feeling two different laces / - / I’ve got two watches on in my pocket heart / Vast topography splits apart oblique clockwork art / that I honestly cannot hide.
3.
Tangen 03:58
I found myself somewhere / I’ve always dreamt of / Lost in translation / On a train north bound / Constellation freckles / New Amsterdam’s fluttering sun / Instant coffee eye lids / through October’s morning light / Where I learned I’d never seen sunlight / Before it hit your/ rosewater cheeks / here is home?
4.
Slept slow distances to arrive alone / Consciously aware this is every home / Cut the phones and maybe shut the blinds / in keeping secrets close for peace of mind / every day / takes more away.
5.
What does trying look like? / I paint the outline of the blues / The blues I can’t see / It’s just a ghost town / There’s nothing left / Just endless rows of terraced housing / are all that’s left / We can see the Parkinson Building from the skylight in your bedroom at night and on a clear day I can clearly see the weight in the lines of your palms / of always trying so hard / to fight the endless endless emptiness weighing on your heart.
6.
Samantha 03:20
To be so insistent that you she should confront her own beliefs / subconsciously you were not aware of your own leap of faith / your sister is never coming back now / Cigarette smoke haunts the abductee watched and guided unaware / searching for the answers to what he wants to believe.
7.
Drawn by the flicker of the blue pilot light / Too worn and to empty to put up a fight / Alone nd obsolete the incinerator burns on / the smoke just visible in the 6AM light / It burns on pulled from the seams / A thread with no end / Constantly frayed / Complex reactions / to simple emotions / repetitive frustrations / contradict the outcome / Does it ever feel like you were pulled apart at the seams?/ To only fix and heal total and whole / Sometimes in dreams I’m afforded missed apologies / The needle and thread / Hold it over the blue pilot light / Too worn to fight / Sterilised and torn away / I’m so scared I’m so small / I do less and less seems so much more / I cant stand I am frayed / paralysed by the emptiness / I’m so small I’m afraid / Held it to my bare extremities / Pressing hard against my arms / I find there’s nothing left to hurt / There is nothing left to hurt.
8.
Fulbright 05:25
Left unconscious / headache’s AM glow / Every morning / Her hair feels like water / Evening swim class / keep essentials at mine / We charge our phones / I dream that I’m swimming / I saw a ghost in the room / and swear it was you / They can be whatever they want to be / I’m just not part of their life anymore / I dreamt I was swimming with my face in her hair / I dreamt I was swimming with my face in her hair / I dreamt I was swimming with my face in her hair / I dreamt I was swimming with my face in her hair / I dreamt I was swimming with my face in her hair / I dreamt I was swimming with my face in her hair / I dreamt I was swimming with my face in her hair / I dreamt I was swimming with my face in her hair / I dreamt I was swimming with my face in her hair / I dreamt I was swimming with my face in her hair / I dreamt I was swimming with my face in her hair.
