recording precious moments with your movie camera
writing in your diary memories of youth
something to look back on when you're far away and travelling
snapshots and keepsakes of your truth.
write it in your diary.
you've lived a life extraordinary, colourful and wild
done things that most folks never do
all those special moments that you captured for posterity
they all add up to make you you.
cos we're not who we think we are.
show me your home movies, read me something from your diary.
what were you like when you were a kid?
were you nosey, were you curious, interested in everything?
tell me some of the crazy stuff you did.
we're not who we think we are / write it in your diary.
no, we're not who we think we are / write it in your diary.
the apple doesn't fall so far / write it in your diary.
no, we're not who we think we are / write it in your diary.

The Same Eyes [live]

i stood there by the car
waiting for you to come and say ta-ra
but you never came, and i never saw you again.
that's not strictly true
i saw you hundreds of times
but never again through the same eyes.
i changed my point of view
and i changed my view of you.
i never saw you again through the same eyes.
something had got broken
and certain words remained unspoken
all i ever wanted was a token of your love.
i just got shaken
by that moment never taken.
i spent my time just faking all my love.
past became the future
history got changed to better suit ya
a little present to yourself, and it’s not a lie
if you believe it.
where do we go from here?
playing make believe, just you and me, both you and me.
i stood there by the car
waiting for you to come and say ta-ra
but you never came
and i never saw you again.

my satanic dog, sixty-six point six on the kilo scale
i'm gonna set him on you, gonna make you scream, i'm gonna make you wail
i’m not gonna stop, gonna make you apologize
for all the shit you did, when i was kid, when i was a child
yeah, i’m gonna see you hurt
yeah, kick you into the dirt
yeah, i'm gonna rip off your face
yeah, you’re just a waste of space
matches in my hand, i’m ready to start a fire
burn you to the ground, you scumbag coward, you filthy liar
yeah, i’m gonna see you hurt
yeah, kick you into the dirt
yeah, i'm gonna rip off your face
you, you fucking waste of space
you may think you got away with it
but i’m counting down the days
pretty soon you’re gonna pay for it
and i’m counting all the ways
so hide yourself and hide your kids
cos i know where you live
my satanic dog, sixty-six point six on the kilo scale
i'm gonna set him on you, gonna make you scream, i'm gonna make you wail.

i’ll take you home again, Kathleen
try to forget the things i've seen
i regret the things i didn't say
talking on the phone any given day
but sometimes the truth can hurt the ones you love
and i said some things i prob’ly shouldn’t’ve
i'd love to see you just for one more day
but it was me who went away
i’ll take you home again, Kathleen
try to forget the things i’ve seen
i regret the things i never said
when you were lying in that bed
and when i close my eyes, i see you spinning round
chasing dragonflies in rochester castle grounds
the things that we recall can sometimes seem absurd
and palliative’s a word i wish i’d never heard
i’ll take you home again, Kathleen
try to forget the things i’ve seen
i regret some of the things i said
can't take them back now you are dead
and i regret the things I never said
while you were lying there in that bed
while you were lying in that hospital bed
while you were dying in that bed
wish I could forget what I regret
wish I could forget what I regret
wish I could forget what I regret
wish I could forget what I regret
forget. regret. forget regret.
forget. regret. forget regret.
forget. regret. forget regret.
i wish I could forget what i regret.

Mr Wu's Pigs Deal, UK
The brand-new five-track DAVY DOES KENT EP is now up for pre-order!
Pairing catchy
tunes with lyrics that claw at the human underbelly, Mr Wu's Pigs lays raw but melodic vocals over jagged power chords and unrelenting drum patterns. The songs have led to Mr Wu’s Pigs drawing unexpected comparisons to acts such as Buzzcocks, T Rex, Bauhaus and Nirvana.

Mr Wu's Pigs recommends:
This is by far my favourite record of 2017. I play it all the time. It's heavy but poppy and grungy and fun.

The Land and the Garden
by Vic Mars
Everything Vic Mars does is worth checking out, but this is particularly brilliant: electronic pastoral music.

The Long Knives
by The Long Knives
I've been watching The Long Knives play great shows for the past seven years or so, and they never disappoint. This album captures them perfectly.

Higher and Higher Forever
by Zero Percent APR
Lo-fi indie that recalls the glory days of Shrimper and Shimmy Disc, where rock-solid melodies sit inside rickety instrumentation.

Nyxy Nyx - Thee 3rd Album
by Nyxy Nyx
The terrific new record from Nyxy Nyx recalls the best of the early ’90s—slow-moving, shoegaze-adjacent songs with woozy melodies.
