A cover of Justin Currie's Sleep Instead of Teardrops. Recorded 2010. It has always been one of my favourite Del Amitri songs. I was strumming away at it one day and my missus said I should record it...

Acoustic tale of revenge. Recorded 2010 on a Boss BR1600CD. ***** **The Knife - A A J Russe** A dark and star-less night Probably driving rain That's what they think became of me A foolish walk along the cliff when he was drunk…
