I have not nor will I leave
Something in which I still believe
For love is such a complex thing
Not simplified by writs or rings
Oil my skin
To keep the badness in
For eyes that see just good
Are as much use now as knotted wood
I have not nor will I fight
For things I don’t believe are right
So pass my shield and dry your eyes
And listen to these battle cries
WOOOO-HOOO
Oil my skin
To keep the badness in
For eyes that see just good
Are as much use now as knotted wood
I demand a thousand days
To make some sense of what we’ve made
I do not want to build on sand
Unstable feet need stable land
Oil my skin
To keep the badness in
For eyes that see just good
Are as much use now as knotted wood
I WILL SAIL…my father’s boat
I WILL SAIL…my father’s boat
I WILL SAIL…my father’s boat
I WILL SAIL…my father’s boat
Oil my skin…

Hope and Social Leeds
In the tradition of the travelling bands, we guess we’re a bit like a Yorkshire E-Street Band...meets Arcade Fire...meets
The Faces…meets Dexys Midnight Runners…meets Prefab Sprout…at a party...in an argument about who gets to have sex with David Bowie. We're not as good at describing ourselves as others are, so...
"a big sound from this impressive outfit...inspired, anthemic, great" - Q magazine

Little Battles
by She Makes War
The ace Laura Kidd. We've been treated to a sneak preview of this, but it's part of my regular headphone listening (Rich). Try "Blue" for aquatic, pretty pop fabness. Woop!

Mixed by our very own Ed. The ideal "getting ready for a night out" album. More hooks than a fisherman's box, more pep than a whippet on speed, and damn good songs to boot!

11 Reasons Why 3 Is Greater Than Everything - Remastered
by Steve Lawson
Lovely lovely Steve Lawson's album, written about "love, journeying, gratitude, growing older, enjoying london, becoming a dad..." and other stuff. Loopy bass goodness from a lovely man. Go try!

Waking up to this liddle tune as the sun streams through the window.....sweet, gentle, chilled, natural, calm, relaxing, peaceful, positive, thought provoking.....and breathe. So......writing a few words. Well there is a comment box!!! Does anyone read these?? Have you got a thang about long grass?! 😊🌾🍃🌿🌱 I have enjoyed how you pronounce your ‘u’ s for a while now, and this track doesn’t disappoint. Only Yorkshire folk will appreciate it. ‘Up’
