about

I am proud of this song as it features my big brother, Justin, singing and whistling. And along with all the other amazing musicians & creatives who have helped it come to fruition, he has done an amazing job. It is also my first time drumming on a track thanks to the encouragement of producer Dylan Jeffreys and my friend and musician Skye.

lyrics

I'd like to keep this relationship healthy & whole
But I gotta say I just didn't have a ball.
Well I know you're a shy kinda fella,
in your hometown.

But I'd still like to keep this relationship going
See where it takes us.

You said you felt sorry for me
Not knowing anybody
You didn't need to say that
Don't you have any manners
Don't you have any?

I wish I was dancing now
With those little ladies, oh how?
Well there you are, & you're in your
Button Chequered Shirt
I think it's dirt the way you are
A walking contradiction
Just like everybody else I know
And still it shows
I was misled
Cost I'm not dancing yet!

So I will talk to the guitarist on his break
And I, will ask him, can I please,
Use his guitar, for a couple of minutes
You see its been a while for me
Cos I'm travelling
And I'm lonely
I didn't tell him that bit but I could've
And he would've
But the guitar was enough for me.

Not like some people, in their little groups of comfort,
Deep voices can make you feel strong.
