lyrics

Every rolling stone’s
Got to make its own journey
Sentiment so thick
The clay’s starting to crack
I’m feeling scared and tired
Of all the people who claim to know me
But when I fall down
Who’s got my back

I count up all my friends
And I know that I have volumes
I know I’m loved and liked
But I’m losing the light
The terror of this life
Has blown my mind wide open
You can see from the shore
That I’m not wired right

Murder never looked so sweet
Waving not drowning but don’t skip a beat
We saw the ripples but we missed the signs
I guess I couldn’t be there every time

Out here in the dark
My mind is so lonely
Bottom of the funnel
My thoughts slide and smash
I wish I could rationalise
But the pain is so cloudy
I can hear your voice
But can’t answer back

Murder never looked so sweet
Waving not drowning but don’t skip a beat
We saw the ripples but we missed the signs
I guess I couldn’t be there every time

Instrumental

Murder never looked so sweet
Waving not drowning but don’t skip a beat
We saw the ripples but we missed the signs
I guess I couldn’t be there every time
We saw the ripples but we missed the signs
I guess I couldn’t be there every time
I guess I couldn’t be there every time

about

Carol Hodge Huddersfield, UK

Carol Hodge is a 7-fingered, piano-pounding, Yorkshire-dwelling Singer-Songwriter. Think Regina Spektor meets Billy Bragg, but with fewer digits and a continuous existential crisis, sandwiched between bitter irony and relentless optimism. You won’t know whether to laugh or cry, but will definitely feel something.
Long-term collaborator with Steve Ignorant (CRASS); Ginger Wildheart.
