In A Glass Darkly 02:34

I see your angel face, in a glass darkly, a world of out of space, your hand it slipped past me. I see your angel face, riding into the dawn, out into the desert, I blinked and you were gone.

Never Seen 02:42
lyrics

What are you doing with your placards what are you doing in the trenches what were you doing with the guillotine your words were burnt, your faces never seen All the lost lovers in your living room Photo frames raped and dissected Cutting out and remaking your life and all because, you lied to your wife So many secrets, this world can contain so many numbers to block so many lay bys on the A428 so many ways to ruin your life. I see you sometimes by the river drinking coffee or champagne, trying to buy up all the lies that you've told trying not to remember my name.

King Herod 02:37
lyrics

Welcome to this side of paradise my hands are broken but i know it's night a hearts patchwork on a dusty floor there is a new land hiding behind the backdoor In the dark of night does it feel alright did you know it's true? as he whispered to you all the times and situations then she happened to see the shadow on your bed the church washed into the sea motivations revealed you heard and forgot there's only one justification you said that you won't barefoot in the field with the sun hanging low nothing is ever wrong should we kiss or go on should i go should we kiss what are the habits that we will miss i've been wasting my time you've been wasting my time She's been wasting her time we are wasting our time

Get Into The Car 03:47
lyrics

get into the car and drive so far to be free from me and overtake the others who are all fleeing the scene they'll tell you im a disaster they all watched me fall down to the ground a slow motion car crash but in the applause it didn't make a sound there were too many boys hanging round i saw you with the photos remembering as if its yesterday your kodak reproductions of parties and vacations away but lock them in the album and put them were they will never be seen next to the printer paper the china and the cutley canteen and remember them as if they were a dream headlight, brake light come on down ride the golden trail smash into a juggernaut and flip the central rail

Interconnected 03:46
lyrics

What is a nation what is a war We are all packs and tribes we are wolves at the door What is made from tarmac What is made from stone what is made from timber only another town another home Until that is all, that is all there is interconnected. The wolf is at your door.

Paris of Troy 04:08
lyrics
2 becomes one when all the love is dead and gone 2 becomes one when someone else has emotionally then physically moved on what were the words that were lies did i steal them or was it your line dancing in the rain yes in paris again as we tangoed in the wet on the banks of the saine what were the words that were lies bells of churches toles the death and we stepped in time 2 becomes one when all the love is dead and gone 2 becomes one when someone else has emotionally then physically moved on

Bonus Track: Limp (Fiona Apple Cover) 03:23
lyrics

You wanna make me sick You wanna lick my wounds Don't you, baby? You want the badge of honor when you save my hide But you're the one in the way of the day of doom, baby If you need my shame to reclaim your pride And when I think of it, my fingers turn to fists I never did anything to you, man No matter what I try, you'll beat me with your bitter lies So call me crazy, hold me down Make me cry, get off now, baby It won't be long 'til you'll be lying limp in your own hands You feed the beast I have within me You wave the red flag, baby You make it run, run, run Standing on the sidelines, waving and grinning You fondle my trigger, then you blame my gun And when I think of it, my fingers turn to fists I never did anything to you, man But no matter what I try, you'll beat me with your bitter lies So call me crazy, hold me down Make me cry, get off now, baby It won't be long 'til you'll be lying limp in your own hands

about

Robjn Album #13 - Unlucky for some.

This album, like all my records features songs that expose so much of what is happening in my life at this time. I am never sure why songs about old lovers make such a good topic for lyrics, but love and heartbreak is universal and so, I foolishly hope I can connect with everyone. In this way I can be as biographical as I need to be without really exposing anyone to the pain of being named and shamed from our association.

Recorded in Paris and Cambridge.

The heart will break, but broken love on. - Lord Byron.
