With the launch of the 'Movies' EP well under way, we thought we could use this little space here as a place where we can give you something that you might not be able to hear or buy elsewhere. You can now listen to 3 acoustic tracks not available anywhere else. Lyrics for the songs are below, so if you're feel free to have a sing-a-long! We'll be trying to update these songs as often as we can so keep checking back for more new recordings.
You can still listen to our new EP on our myspace site by clicking here or on the link at the bottom of each page. Alternatively you can download it from Virgin Digital and also HMV Digital. It will be on iTunes very soon for iPod owners!
She once said to me,
"We could be in the movies,
Will you be in a movie with me"
Instead the only thing I have left
Are a few grainy photos
I see she and I on the screen
I remember in phases
All of the things that we believed
Instead the only thing I have left
Is a ring that fits no one
And she said,
"I love you too, I love you more
"I love you too, I love you more"
At home when she's alone
She turns off her phone
And opens her arms up
She put a poison in me
She never loved me
And I pretend I don't love her
And she said,
"I love you too, I love you more
"I love you too, I love you more"

Eighteen Years since we were here
The years flew by and soon the crowd was one
Red Skies bring tears to my eyes
Imagine my surprise when suddenly you're gone
Tonight the music's moving you
And I remember losing you
And these three empty chairs beside me remind me what went wrong
She may not be beautiful
Desire makes me feel dutiful
But there's no cloak of guilt around me, 'cos I've done nothing wrong
She looked the same and she talked the same
And she felt the same and she walked the same
And the perfect shape of her neck was the same
And the curves her red dress drapped were the same
So I played the game and I asked her name
And I took her away and it dulled the pain
And she looked the same and she talked the same
And she felt the same and she walked the same
But she's not the same because it wasn't you
[Richmond/Circus Envy]
Nothing feels so lonely as a crowded room
You are the only one who understands the pain I'm going through
If I was the only one who felt this way
Maybe everything would be okay
Have another drink the pain will go away
Have another drink the pain will go away
Have another drink the pain will go away
Have another drink now, Have another drink now
Stayed up drinking cider in a hotel room
With a drink inside her she would give herself to anyone
Fell asleep beside her that summer afternoon
Maybe everything will go right soon
Have another drink the pain will go away
Have another drink the pain will go away
Have another drink the pain will go away
Have another drink now, Have another drink now
You'll see in your loneliness
You'll see in your loneliness
[Richmond/Circus Envy]
We're going nowhere at a hundred miles an hour
My universe is slipping away from me
You're the one who offered me something I can't refuse
I used to picture you asleep among the trees
Making music is the cure for my disease
You're beautiful just because life isn't yours to choose
I heard you call
I ran to see you
There was no-one there
You know I need you
You know I need you
But you and I are going nowhere...
You know you made me into what I'm meant to be
Even though you never said a word to me
Everyone slips away when they've nothing left to lose
I know you've talked of going nowhere in my sleep
But if you follow me you'll end up far too deep
Everything I've ever done: I did it all for you
[Richmond/Circus Envy]
Every generation must have this feeling
Deliver us from darkness's astral ceiling
She said she'd love if love felt right
In a sea of fallen leaves she enacts their meeting
Was it really love or just passion fleeting?
She sleeps, but she stays awake at night
He said "You could love yourself
"You never ever need to feel the pain again"
And she said "If you're serious, and Sirius is steering us
"Then nobody will ever feel the same
"As the way we feel tonight - let's touch the stars"
A supermarket song made the sadness harder
Cos she couldn't find release for the love inside her
Sometimes it's a blessing worth disguising
He called at 3am just to say "it's over"
A love star burning out in a supernova
Her star will never seem the same
He said he'd fallen for another
It was time to take his light to someone else
And every constellation says "Please forget him
"He's have torn your world apart if you'd only let him
"And you never should have compromised your heart
"If you can't take the consequence"

I'll go over the edge on a Saturday night
I never knew this was the way that it felt
You can get what you need off somebody else
I might not always be around
And if I could open up and tell you what I know
You would turn around and go
Every time I can see the sky
I try too hard and find I've aimed to high
I only wanted to feel love
Every time I start looking up you bring me down
You never let it lie
I don't know what I was thinking of
When you're still on the streets as night becomes day
It's information overload
And soon the time comes to give up on love
It's what you don't know that hurts you the most
If I wanted to bring you down
I have the means, the motive and the time
But I just keep it on the shelf
If you want to mess with me
I'll mess with you, confess to you my crimes
I blame no-one but myself
[Richmond/Circus Envy]
Out of focus through teary eyes
Your lips were cold, so were mine
you wrote you love'd me in the sand
You bought some blue gloves, you held my hand
Nobody's ever felt this good
Nobody ever really could
Nobody's ever been in love like me and you
A grainy photo through teary eyes
Your out of focus, your eyes are wild
You said you loved me a million times
Your lips were cold, so were mine
I wanted to sleep so I could dream
In every scene you still love me
Don't let me wake up to this still life that's all that's left for me
[Richmond/Circus Envy]
Alarm bells are ringing around in my head
You made it clear with all the things that you said to me
I thought we were strong and that we'd last all of time
But I guess I was wrong, cos you're no longer mine
You're walking away
I came back to see you
Walking away
One day I'll see you
I thought you felt the same as me, I thought you were the one
My head was in the clouds, our love could do no wrong
Now I'm begging and pleading for you to stay
I wrote you all those letters, but you threw them all away
I thought that you loved me
I thought that you loved me
I thought that you loved me
I thought that you loved me
Now I'm looking past the darkness
I'll make it through the night
I'm gonna be free from you
Step into the light
Now I'm walking away
I don't want to see you
Walking away
i don't want to feel you
[Clark/Circus Envy]
Watching the waves hit the rocks on the bay
With the sun softly stoking your hair
For a minute it's like we were there when the sun shines
A meeting by chance and a whirlwind romance
That just burns out as soon as it starts
I never recovered my heart
And I want to tell you
"Darling please don't leave me here
Why won't you love me?
Why won't you love me?
Why won't you love me?
I used to think you loved me too"
After a year I am still sitting here
With your face on my mind every day
The memory slipping away
I remember the places we'd meet
Make my heart miss a beat
But you're still on my mind every day
The memory slipping away
And I want to tell you
"Darling please don't leave me here
Why won't you love me?
Why won't you love me?
Why won't you love me?
I used to think you loved me
I used to think you loved me
I used to think you loved me too"
