    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

Well I'm just one man
that's my excuse
for floating through life
being no fucking use
to anyone
I'm no use to anyone
I've been a tool
I've never been the sharpest one
I had some fight
but now it seems like it's all gone
the man looks down on me
'cause he's already won
I've nothing left to lose
so I'll just march alone

On the capital I'm marching
will I be marching on my own
I got no backup
I'll have to tap up
all of the people
I've ever known
the ones who share the same opinions
the ones who share the same beliefs
a marching party
I need an army
we're walking calmly
we come in peace
could we change the world?

But putting in effort is so over-rated
can't overcome the evil we created
we suckle at their teet now we're sedated
we think we're free
but we're manipulated
by the ones above
for the ones we love
we will overcome
we're sick of playing dumb
we're breaking out these slums
we got them on the run
here we come
bodies numb
marching on to the sounds of the drums but
is it gonna make a difference?
will we ever make a difference?
I guess at best we'll be a hindrance
if we can ever go the distance

'Cause on the capital we're marching
we won't be marching on our own
we grow in numbers
we become stronger
we are the people
this is our home
and it's not gonna be sucked dry
by these parasites in power
we make our point here
we make a stand here
it all could change in just an hour

We could change the world
if we just hold our ground
if we just stand here now
if we don't back down
we could
change the world
here comes another row
over the people's shouts
I hear the sirens ringing out

The crash into us
with shields of plastic
and batons raised
and they'll get praised
for all their violence here today
they'll keep on pushing
but we're not moving
no, not an inch
a wall of people
dug in heels
our arms and hearts
are tightly linked

We gotta hold our ground
we gotta make this stand
there ain't no backing down, no
we've had it up to here
can't take another year
not gonna live in fear, no
change the world
