I got nothing to write home for tell my mother I'm sleeping on the floor tell them that some days the only time i eat is from stealing from cafes Maybe I will write them & tell them I'm fine maybe I will write them & tell them lies Tell them that everything down here in Bristol's going well X2

I don't need you to break my heart I can do it on my own if I try all you left me was a picture of you your Tao Lin your Gertrude Stein & a stack of your magazines & it's so hard to find distraction I walk around this town at night with you on my mind I'll be back to myself in a couple of months just gotta start sleeping at the right times the only way I'm sure that I've been dead before is i'm still pretty certain that i still feel alive

When you left I put my records in your room but nothing sounds the same without you singing out of tune today has been the first day that i realised how much I miss you You said you & me is like trying to bite your own teeth & you were never coming home

Look at all the people dancing look at all the people laughing look at your empty glass x2 look at all the strangers smiling look at all the strangers singing look at the time look in the mirror, look at your eyes sit at the bar & drink alone sit at the bar & talk to no one take a look around there's no one you know around step outside in to the light stranger asks you for a light stand outside in neon light smoke is blue in yellow light sit on the steps & send a text realise that you have no friends at least not tonight there's no one you know tonight think of how things used to be chain smoke, vomit, time to leave police walk by, don't look drunk it's getting cold put your collar up walk around with nowhere to go walk around anywhere but home asking the moon for favours asking the moon for something to do saying 'give me anything' 'I'll take anything' 'give me anything' 'anything you've got' sit down put your headphones on battery's dead, keep them on look at all the people you don't know lie down while the sun comes up think about how you fucked up think about it think about her think about it etc.

At night you listen to The Bends surrounded by the smoke you made from dog-ends trying to remember or to render something lost When you were young it was all OK to be a leth-wretch & a waste of space but now it's getting old like you yeah you're getting old & in the morning when you get back to your flat you tap the floorboards to let the rats know that you're back take a lie down, but lock the door & think anout how you don't get nothing for nothing for nothing for...

Maudlin-grey in morning say you'll meet me later in the day I'm all messed up & feeling rough from coming down & coming up & falling down & getting up now every day seems longer than the day before it Ran out of work then ran out of cash ran out of town, I'm raindrops on glass I'm on the train, I'm coming back as tired & ectomorphic as before Sometimes I think i'm dreaming but there's no way to be sure the world looks strange it's cold & grey, there's hoarfrost on the floor & the sky's a kind of purple that I've never seen before Take a look around there's no one around but there's a half dead cigarette & it's burning on the ground there's no one around (underneath the stratus cloud) there's no one around

Tie the weight around my legs let me down slowly I want to feel water all around me

Fragments 01:54
All the trees with polythene leaves like ghosts trapped in the branches we're dancing drunk with our headphones on you are the taste in my mouth you cut your hair but you never change change your clothes but stay the same Let's drive until we want to sleep put in the tape sleep on the back seat

about

Recorded on four track cassette
over two weeks of blurry sleeplessness,
empty mugs & crummy keyboards.
This is my first solo record. I love this record.
