The Bucket 02:51
I'm so easy to wind up I gave you the key There is nothing you can say That would put me off I can't win I can't win I can't win Then again I don't really want to... I'm so easy to wind up I gave you the key I can't win I can't win I can't win Then again I don't really want to Will this mind will this mind ne'er be clean? I'll calm down calm down if you give me THE BUCKET!

On a Friday in '42 Fifteen soldiers, your Mum and you Lost on the toss of a coin Mother wanted to take the train You couldn't wait to get home again Lost on the toss of a coin Douglas Sleeper to Los Angeles Beacons turned out for the Japanese Douglas Sleeper refuelling late Mountain pass in Nevada state Lost on the toss of a coin On a Friday in '42 Fifteen soldiers, your Mum and you Lost on the toss of a coin Nothing's sacred, nothing is for keeps Douglas Sleeper to your final sleep Sleep Sleep Sleep Sleep

Theda Bara 02:26
Nearly all her films are lost No one knows her name Theda Bara's got a star On the walk of fame Theda Bara Every room inside her house Filled with useless clocks Some are early, some are late Most of them have stopped Theda Bara Theda

You kicked the snow out of my way You didn't see him coming your way Sometimes makes me laugh Thinking of the past The look upon his face As he quickened his pace You took me in an elevator When we emerged a minute later This was our goodbye I ran back in to cry

about

I moved out of the family home and into my own flat in early 2019. At that time, I started work on several home-recorded projects. Home recording became even more of A Thing the following year, for some reason... Getting creative stuff done during the past year-and-a-bit-so-far of isolation has been hard, but I'm finally able to present this collection of four songs - some (revisited) old ones, some new. I played and programmed every note of every song myself, using equipment available to me at home. The buck stops here!
