I really was carrying the ash from the fire out in the dark and looking at the stars and thinking how weird that was - to be throwing the ashes out in the middle of the night and pitch black and everything
Written today.
recorded on an iMac with the internal mic and no headphones (!) so it's probably going to be muddy as hell, but that feels about right for now.
LYRIC:
Fill up the glass, Bartender
Ply your art
Quench the fire in here, now…

A one hour track start to finish - words music and all the faffing around at the end to get the levels right.

This is the first demo [Sister Savage](http://alonetone.com/sistersavage) and I have made for our RPM 2011 album.
Although I've uploaded a copy here we'd be really grateful if you would listen to the [version uploaded by Sister](http://alonetone…
The other night a few of Elvis's friends came over to see him and the thetworegs were listening in by the ventilation shaft from the cellar and they took a liking to a jam that was happening with a man called Diamond Neil doing the Vocals. This…
After Reg's murderous thoughts it only took an argument about who was going to make the tea to make his beloved leave him but the problem was, so had 50% of his lottery winnings and it was this he took hard, He went on the preverbal bender. Waking…

My first upload.
This is a cover of probably my favourite song of all time, by The Waterboys, who were introduced to me many years ago when the highlight of my week was Thursday night TV, pizza and quaffing Baileys.
Thanks to Sister S for…

it is kind of ironic being nihilistic *about* a revolution tho ;-)
good track, i loved where the drums pick up in the middle
