By my admission, I'm trying to think but my brain won't let me make a move. I'm undecided, I'm the last kick in a chorus line of excuses Still i know what i came here for, you left the spare key under the doormat waiting for me to let myself in but i got distracted again. Sweet taste of violets, Waves crash behind us, Arrivals of riffle shots. Your in good hands!, i beg your pardon? probably, i said "your in good hands" Still i know what i came here for, you left the spare key under the doormat waiting for me to let myself in but i got distracted again. How the hell can i be late again? i'm falling out the door, i met you up around half past ten, you hardly said a word. You smelt like home on the garden last night your slowly growing on me now i find.

It started by, By the Argosy, She said "you've got a lot of tricks hidden up your sleeve" She said "i never knew that you were so filthy" but it would have gotten worse if you would have just kept up with him. I never knew that you were so cruel your tied to the tracks, in the end now you walk sideways together because your fine like bone china you were quiet as a mouse but if the snow fell much finer last night id find it hard to leave the house. I never knew that you were so cruel your tied to the tracks, in the end now you walk sideways together I never knew that you were so cruel your tied to the tracks, in the end now you walk sideways on....

I'm not really where i'm supposed to be one too many headaches and too much mystery the landlords sleeping so i better be silent as the grave Its not easy, but nothing ever is I'd like to say it phased me but i'm not effected i said sorry, thats not enough i can tell by the tone of your voice. Hey! All the way we dream our days away getting older, getting older come and play under my duvet getting older, getting older. Boredom slowly eats away at me although I'm feeling like I'm about to be torn to pieces by plague of locust, piranha? shall i tell them what your about to say I'll steal your thunder then your aeroplane the candles burning at both ends but I'm well aware of that. Hey! All the way we dream our days away getting older, getting older Hide away regain some mystery getting older, getting older. Now i feel much better more so than yesterday, I'll get some pleasure from burning everything now i hold that feeling so very tight its the only thing we've got left dust everywhere this place has got to be clean to be safer because we got to be seen to be noticed or to even be invited to a fight your hands are cold tonight its the Navy Rum and ice.

Rope 04:21
Check for the pulse open up the chest don't put on the light lets smoke a cigarette its the darkness that got you down shame we couldn't do it in the bright sunlight now David didn't die on the battlefield this calls for a glass with the bubbles, even though just try to straighten out before they arrive. watching through the swing door a rope dropped in the kitchen draw she never knows when shes being funny He's a man with impatience for social conventions , hes making his entrance slowly through, through the room. These hands will bring you great fame so farewell to Phillip therefore champagne Mrs Atwater's pissed again Aprove?, you may and i do. Now onto dessert still no word from D.K. but chivalry rears his ugly head again bind the books with the weapon as the metronome sways Now who's that calling at the door Cadell left a case that was never there before with him in this condition your teasing my suspicions so my right hand stays rested on the trigger as easy as serving food from a grave to pyramid wild into fantasy.

Unfun 03:33
I'm not that well read, or well traveled but instead i can tell what goes on in your head I'm feeling like i truly think that i get it this time elope, go find yourself folded in the photographs and put away in shoe boxes and when you decide its time to get them out you gave the other way a try but as usual it didn't work its not that bad its the universe it turns in ways we cant control we never know we never should make lists of our conquests just in case were wrong I'm burnt, buried alive but its not the kind of life id abide by

Sorry if iv ruined all your plans fumbling around with my hot and clammy hands struggling with the things that i shouldn't struggle with trying to give my love when there is nothing left to give and for what.......that's it. Sorry that it took me so much time its like the point of no return another day another frown line I'm looking out the window, see the moons still in the sky sitting up in bed enjoying Steve Martin in "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid. DESMOND! Sorry if iv ruined all your plans fumbling around with my hot and clammy hands struggling with the things that i shouldn't struggle with trying to give my love when there is nothing left to give and for what

about

All songs handwritten in a Bakery in Derby by Cheap Jazz
All songs were recorded between Spring and Autumn 2011
at Dubrek Studios, Snug Recording co, The House of Fun and Shepherd Towers, all in Derby.
The album cover is a nod to the great Ornette Coleman,who released the album "the shape of jazz to come" in 1959.We had many reasons for wanting to do this cover art, Another band we love are Clinic who also used a likeness of the album "Ornette!" for thier own album "Internal Wrangler". Another reason is CABLE "our all time influential derby band" did a pastiche of John Mayall's Blues Breakers album for thier first album cover.
And of course we all loved Refused's "The Shape Of Punk To Come"
