    This is my second album - another DIY home grown and home recorded suitcase of songs that I've been carrying around festivals over this past year.

    Some songs you'll have heard me playing live a lot in fields and around campfires and some songs are ones that I've sat on for a year and let them grow into new versions of themselves.

    Either way, I hope you like what you hear and that some of the songs can can give you the same comfort they did to me when I wanted to hide in my wardrobe when everything else felt too difficult.

lyrics

Your soul can be set free
Your soul can be set free
Your soul can be set free with drugs and beer and lots of money
And your demons will be purged from you
As soon as you believe
That poor folk fund the violence
It's not the riches greed

So they said they’d take their guns outside
And shoot the immigrants tonight
Because they took all of the cleaning jobs we’d obviously applied for
Healthcare’s down the shit because that fat receptionist
at the doctors runs the NHS
and has no damn appointments left

And I will never understand the reason why
this population can’t stand it’s own kind
over your colour or creed
this contest of context criteria needs
let get of the problem it’s not yours to hold onto and leave
just leave

be angry at the government
that told you you’re not relevant
not the man that lives next-door
who you think’s not equivalent
of British values that you hold
the ones that are so bloody old
that if you are so British
then sell off your holiday home

these borders aren’t defence
for playing off your ignorance
‘cause we all look the same in the dark
the flag that you wave
is not how you’ll be be saved
it’s the thoughts in your head and the love in your heart
but it’s easier to blame when it gets too hard
