Handmade limited run of my first album, X hits the spot, adorned in duct tape and permanent marker. Due to personal circumstances (living halfway up a mountain), cassettes will be posted out as and when I can. That said, I will endeavour to send them out as soon as I can and I promise I will always send them within a week of getting the order.

lyrics

Joshua, I wish I held you more,
I never had the guts to tell you how I feel,
‘Cause I’m so proud of the man you’ve become,
And so ashamed of the man I’ve always been,

I was never good with words

Quiet now, don’t want to wake the dog,
The sun is almost up and you’ll notice that I’m gone,
Marianne, I’ve always let you down,
I never kept control,
I hate myself for what I did to you,
