Take The Long Way Home
06:16

I’ve only a small window of opportunity
To tidy up this mess
I need some split second planning
And a stroke of luck I guess
I’ve stocked up on cleaning products
With plenty of black plastic bags
If I wanted to I could
Clean this the best it’s ever had
take the long way home
I’ve some things I need to do
I’ve some mistakes that need correcting
That don’t concern you
All being well I should have finished up
By the time that you get home
Don’t ask too many questions
About me cleaning up alone
Don’t check the wheelie bin
Don’t go near the bath
Don’t look in the back of the car
At the hacksaw and the carrier bags
take the long way home
I’ve some things I need to do
I’ve some mistakes that need correcting
That don’t concern you
take the long way home
I’ve some things I need to do
I’ve some mistakes that need correcting
That don’t concern you

Simple Sins

I always hurt myself when trying this
I cut myself time after time
My ego bent out of recognition
The pain may be yours but the blood is mine
it’s the simple sins that get you
I’m caught every time
Then the lighting fails
And they swallow every line
it’s the simple sins that get you
I’m caught every time
Then the lighting fails
And they swallow every line
I hurt my ego & pain is palpable
I hurt myself and the tension is real
There’s a numb feeling deep inside me
It must be something else I feel
it’s the simple sins that get you
I’m caught every time
Then the lighting fails
And they swallow every line
It’s the simple sins that get you
Rewritten every day
I will excuse myself everything
Because they believe what I say

Inca Mummies

I never sleep on Sundays
The fear keeps me awake
I never had a nine to five
I found the fear keeps me alive
Assume the posture
Hunched up like Inca mummies
What have we become
what have you done to ourselves
You Chose a life
that would eat you up
From the inside
Uncomfortable in your skin
An opening through the night
As another day begins
And I smile, as I say
from my hole in the ground
This year is our year
all written, played and recorded by R. Spence.

The guy in the golf in the other lane
Plays songs at full blast
He sings along with the chorus
And thinks he doesn't last
You ask me if I want to
I answer I don't know
You ask me if I love you
How could I know
My mind flits and moves on
My dreams are too small
I continue, unfinished
It all ends in flare and flames
You ask me if I want to
I answer I don't know
You ask me if I love you
How does your garden grow?
all written, played and recorded by R. Spence
