  • Poster/Print + Digital Album

    Following three reschedules and the eventual cancellation of my 'Fragments' album launch show, I've been inundated with suggestions of what to do with the 2000 or so surplus posters and flyers.

    Emergency toilet roll was the most common suggestion during Lockdown 1.0, as well as giant paper aeroplane and laminated placemat. However, quite a few of you have mentioned that you'd like a signed poster, so your wish is granted (in exchange for money).

    You can send me a message with your order and let me know if you'd like me to scrawl anything in particular, and I'll throw in a signed flyer as an extra memento of the album launch show that never was...

    Oh, and you'll also get a free download of the whole album, which ain't a bad deal.

    Thanks so much for your ongoing support. The last year or so has been a pretty tricky time to be an already-skint self-employed musician, as you can imagine, so if you're yet to order the album on CD, tape or as a bundle, then that would be a massive help also!

    Stay safe :)

lyrics

Leave the light on when you go to bed
As, as you rest your weary head
Yes, yes it's been a long old day for us

I climb beside you, safe and warm
How, how we've longed to be back home
And yes, yes it's been a long old day for us

And it's hard for you
And it's hard for me
And there's nothing we can do
But cry peacefully
And it's hard for you
And it's hard for me
And there's nothing we can do
But cry peacefully

You lie there thinking what to say
How, how is it you feel this way?
Yes, yes I know you love me all the same

I feel you shiver next to me
You may close your eyes but you still see
And yes, yes I promise you that things will change

And it's hard for you
And it's hard for me
And there's nothing we can do
But cry peacefully
And it's hard for you
And it's hard for me
And there's nothing we can do
But cry peacefully

And it's hard for you
And it's hard for me
And there's nothing we can do
But cry peacefully
And it's hard for you
And it's hard for me
And there's nothing we can do
But cry peacefully

Leave the light on when you go to bed
As, as you rest your weary head
Yes, yes it's been a long old day for us
