Lyrics
Let's pretend
----------------------------------
Take it easy, make your peace
Empty covers & tainted sheets
We all need to escape, it seems
Now we've been displayed the means
But I don't want to be apart
An age old story of a broken heart
No need to eat or sleep or breathe
Slip inside your blissful dreams
------------------------
I'm falling apart (i'm falling)
I'm falling apart (i'm falling)
I'm falling apart
Change your heart & pick up the pieces
------------------------
When at night love, when we're
Motionless in bed
The truth can be denied
But it's always in your head
You can try to block this out
"Let's pretend that it's not real"
But the truth will always show itself
No matter how hard you conceal
------------------------
I'm falling apart (i'm falling)
I'm falling apart (i'm falling)
I'm falling apart
Change your heart & pick up the pieces
------------------------
The secret thoughts that I kept
In my head
The secret words that I have
Never said
Some things are better left unspoken
And there's a thousand promises i've broken
------------------------
I'm falling apart (i'm falling)
I'm falling apart (i'm falling)
I'm falling apart
Change your heart & pick up the pieces
----------------------------------------
Dark
----------------------------------------
Come inside, brace yourself & leap into the dark
Cannot hide, you blame yourself & take it all to heart
Fear divides, it doesn't care as long as you feel pain
Come inside, shield your eyes and leap into the
------------------------
(dark)
It's unleashed upon my open mind
(dark)
Just like the places only you can find
(dark)
The feeling's around us, it's everywhere
(dark)
With a pain too big man, I wish I could share
------------------------
I never lied, well that's not true I just never lied to you
I never cried, & that's the truth cos I never cried for you
Pain inside, it waits for me just like I wait for you
Come inside, grit your teeth & dive into the dark
------------------------
Now that i'm blind, I cannot see the things that follow me
Now I can't hear, I cannot hear the things that swallow me
Turn around, run away, your panic's all I need
Come inside, bolt your door & wait there for the...
------------------------
I wish I could
So... 2008 has been and is almost gone. It's been a really good year for us gig-wise, playing good sized venues such as Barrowlands 2 in Glasgow and The Cavern Club in Liverpool. As always a huge thankyou goes out to all our fans and supporters.
We have recently decided that the time is right for us to finally record the debut album we've been promising for ages, so to that end we will be concentrating on rehearsal and studio work for the time being. Recordings are pencilled in for spring 2009 so hopefully we'll be back to rock your socks off again by the summer!
There will be periodic updates on the progress of the album posted here when there is news to report.
See you all again sometime in '09, and thnks again for the continued support.

About the band...
All originally hailing from Dumfries in their formative years, the band are now split between Dumfries and Glasgow where the members currently work.
All of the band are experienced live performers with a wide extent of influences, and are enjoying the new burst of energy the band has had in recent months. With the well established partnership of Jamie, Scott and John, and following the addition of Rob on bass and Gaz on the drums, the band have been driving forward with some heavy and funky tunes that'll hopefully really get the crowds going.
The band have recently been recording again, so keep your ears peeled for the tunes on the page in the coming weeks.
Is this how our liberty dies?.......
While it's not always a good idea to introduce political viewpoints into the musical arena, sometimes events dictate that we not remain silent on certain issues where important questions should be asked.
One shining example of this is the horrific events of September 11th 2001. There have been many direct consequences of this, including the wars in Afghanistan & Iraq, not to mention the gradual & systematic erosion of our civil liberties in the western world.
Many people are now waking up to the fact that the official account of what happened that day simply does not add up & are beginning to ask the questions that the US & UK governments either cannot or will not answer. The fall of the twin towers themselves occurred at almost free fall speed in a manner consistent with a professional demolition job. Building 7, which had not been hit by any debris at all & which exhibited only small fires, fell in the same suspicious manner around seven hours after the towers themselves.
Scientific analysis of residue found on the steel from the towers was found to contain the chemical signature of thermate, the demolition version of thermite, which cuts through structural steel like the proverbial knife through butter!
We ask not that anyone take our word for any of this, only that if you have any interest in the events of that terrible day & the consequences of it, you do your own research & draw your own conclusions. The following links are a great place to start researching the questions that many people are afraid to ask.......
Friday night was more special than you realise,many new ears and many generations of listeners, you rock, bring on the cd in January, mas tequila dudes, Davie
