    Buying the album digitally but don't want to miss out on the epic 12-page 12" booklet that comes with the vinyl? Well, you're in luck!

    With Si Mitchell's beautiful album art front and back, the booklet contains literally hundreds and hundreds of photos from the 4 years it took to make this album, handwritten credits for every musician for every song, original lyric sheets and really tells the story of the project - including some awesome art from Emma Smith, Emma Young & Caylynn Adams too.

    Please note:
    1. Whilst these are the same booklet that comes in the Vinyl release, the Vinyl gatefold case has additional photos and writing in as well - if you'd like the full package, the Vinyl is the way to go (and the vinyl comes with a digital release too) :)
    2. Due to their size, the booklets have to be posted in the same packaging that the vinyl come in, so postage costs reflect this.
    3. We hope these booklets to be shipping out around early February, all going well!     ... more

lyrics

I'm not one for betting
when the odds are stacked
so greatly against me
for all that I lack
could've been another foot taller
had some shoulders that were broader
better clothes
had some style
a different face
a perfect smile
so i'll, compile
a list of all the things that
are wrong with my profile
and I will try
to be a little less like myself
to be a completely different guy

All of this is vapid shit
your kids best stay away from it
broken teens
magazines
telling you what you should be
it's all a scheme
don't give them your money
they're selling you dreams
you people should be scrutinising
all this fucking advertising
and the way
they can say
that they're not promoting hate
you take what you can take
all that you can take

I'm not one for kicking
a man when he's down
too many a person
is trolling round town
saying shit that they don't
really fucking mean
hiding behind computer screens
get a life, it's passing by
and it's far too short to try
to crush another aching heart
one battle bruised and showing scars
they're alone
they're at home
and they've got nowhere to go
but through the screen
you keep on pushing
innocent souls to certain ruin
if they give in
you are winning
can you see
what you are doing?

These people make my stomach twist
they'll surely get away with it
'cause they lurk
in the dark
taking pride in stealing hearts
you've lost your spark
don't give them a chance
they'll lower your guard
if as a people we were righteous
we wouldn't allow this virus
to spread
to the heads
of a youth we should protect
now their paths are set
