about

Recorded in @ Brighton by Sam Flynn on 4-track
Produced by Sam Flynn & Hadleigh Ford

This song came from the demos of a project that was started while I was living in Brighton. I met Sam Flynn through playing at Rob Alcrofts Jam night at The Font.
Both Sam and Rob are fantastic musicians and we always had a laugh jamming or playing on each others songs at the Font.
I had just written a song called Houston which Sam liked the chorus of. We took the chorus out and made it the verse of this version if Houston. We then wrote a new chorus together and recorded it one evening.
Rob took guitar and organ duties while Sam took main keys. We all joined together for handclaps and backing vocals.

lyrics

You don't bite your nails do you Hadleigh?
Yeah
Oh good!

Houston why do you sit there and let them take your soul
Can't you see that you're never going to be loved at all
Used to let me know whats going on in your mind
I still remember that look in your eye

I can't believe that you'd do this to me
I gave you my love now I'm setting you free
To be unloved
But I'm thinking on
I don't need you no more
Free to walk right out that door
