April Love 04:50
I recognise your fear But if you will not come with me I'll leave you here I realise you're scared But you're wrong to say That no-one ever cared We need someone April Love You cannot understand There's no future And your castle's made of sand They cannot ever be A place of refeuge And security

Downfall 04:08
Point me to the sunshine Feathers never fail But the wax may melt And i'll fall When you see the lace burn, Won't you turn your head, Look the other way, While I fall Will you bind my wounds up, Help me soar again? Then I swear i'll leave You once moore As I rise above you I'll not turn to wave Or ask you to cry While I fly

Forever Dear 03:12
Our father was the grassland, our mother was the sky, They met on the horizon and along came you & I. Sister I'm the earth, will you meet me on the shore? Our children are the rivers, the forests and the moors We will live & love forever dear While the scars cut out by men will disappear They divide us out among them by arguments & war But the time has come, They are undone, And they'll worry us no more, Our maker didn't make us to be abused all our lives The people who respect us are the ones who will survive, We will live & love forever dear While the scars cut out by men will disappear

When the wind blows from the cold north west And the sky's lit by the moon There's no space within the village inn There's a stranger coming soon In his hands he holds a paperbag On his feet shoes twice as thin, Yet not long ago he held the hands Of princesses, queens & kings He's the man who painted the stars for you In his eyes you see the fear When he's dead, he still believes that the world will disappear. "There's no room for you" the locals call As he's seated by the fire They've heard his stories all before. Later that night he steals away, No-one can tell me his whereabouts But from that night, at every evening time, One more star flickers out.

about

This previously cassette-only 2 track self-published release has been out of print for decades.

It was recorded in the spring of '92 in East Anglia by Phil & Mark at Fordham House Studios.

Also included in the album download is the never before released “Downstairs at Alans” demo, which was recorded in a photographic shop next to the long-closed legendary Rezz club in Romford. - Hi Alan!

And we were rejected by labels at the time for sounding too goth - never!
