about

..yet again drunkenly recorded fairly live up at Jamesy's one night . Two songs done. myself, Danny Todd an' Jamesy orchestrating via percussional instruments in Jamesy's house...yes,that is a toilet seat bass drum ye hear, god knows what else we used that night tbf . . And a snip of me sippin' red wine at 2:28 an us all doin the "Hi' bit etc. Good timez were had . Never seen the toilet seat again either .

lyrics

..how foolish was i
self taught in the lost art of common sense
naive was my pride
closed doors on the steps one xmas spent

as you said unkind
harsh words under breath that you’ll regret
so lay yourself down
on the bed of nails that you just made

and you will pray for your sin/s
and you would save yourself

..how foolish was i
self taught in the lost art of common sense
naive was my pride
closed doors on the steps one xmas spent
as you said unkind
harsh words filled with talk that you’ll regret
now lay yourself down
on the bed of nails that you just made

and you will pray for your sin/s
more than you have to pray
and you would save

…yourself
