This was originally a much longer gospel style song about meeting the devil at the crossroads and selling him my car, I got discouraged when I put down the scratch vocals and realised that no ammount of overdubs could possibly make me sound like…

Enervate what's in your head

Old school art rock
Red clay still shot

Well it's time to stop the routine
You might say it just another phase of the game

You’re painting a dead end
Capturing traces
Of throwaway faces
You memorize lines

A short reprieve a second chance
With every heartache comes the hope that I am wrong

Someone who's willing

Linda spins without a care
Idle thoughts twirling in the air
Never quite a mystery
Never choosing what she wants to save
She escapes substantial loss
By adding interest to her cause
A little death a shallow say
Never paying for her shallow…

I’ve seen the trimmings you destroy
The kindness that you avoid
Our subtle ways our sad affairs
Our vagrant airs dissolve to noise
What do you contemplate you're standing still

Recorded Oct 2010.
It was meant to be a full band pop-rock song. But I started overdubbing on the original exploratory demo I'd done to work out the arrangement (with no click track). I kept coming back to it intending to start afresh... but…
