Boots 03:20
Red faced and empty handed, the walk of shame again I look down from my high horse, I shake my head at you Red sheets and absent morals, no talk of blame my friend Down the scope of my rifle, you're facing a dead end When will you stop chasing that dream Start living the life you could have seen Just accept your lot, it's all you got And you can have faith, I'll love you 'til you stop When will you face the fact that you're not a kid no more Time after time you show up hungover at my door I'll always let you lash out, I guess that's what friends are for Make the most of these moments, leave me to sweep the floor Wait a minute, what am I to you? It's your life, you choose And show me how I can chase that dream Start living the life I could have seen Don't settle for less than what you've always wanted And you can have faith, I'll love you 'til you stop

The Retreat 04:36
We took years to go off the rails I scored points when I noticed the length of your nails Started off down a misguided path Thought too much of me making you laugh There's no hope for what could have been That's the greatest escape both for you and for me It was clear you were making that choice I'm so sick of you missing the point I was looking for you You gave me problems and I paid you back in arrears Now that I've found you I shouldn't have bothered my dear. I wrote letters and you text me back You could not cope without your mascara intact You were poisonous, selfish and rude Made us happy lets give us our dues There's not chance now that ship's hit the breeze Whilst it's clear now you don't deserve me I was looking for you You gave me problems and I paid you back in arrears Now that I've found you I shouldn't have bothered my dear You left the post code, the country, the continent I was looking for you

About this EP:
Around the tail-end of 2012 we were coerced by friends into reconvening for a one-off gig. Early rehearsals were lots of fun and with 'fun' replacing 'musical career' as our main priority we decided it would be most enjoyable to play one last gig.

So it was that in March 2013 we assembled at a sold-out OPEN in Norwich and played before a sweaty, noisy throng. The bug had well and truly bitten once again. Rehearsals followed and within a month we had knocked out three new gems.

In October 2013 we headed back to Russell McNamara's Hit Factory and started work on the 'Citizens & Rivers' EP comprising our three newies and old favourite 'The Retreat' which, due to our disbanding, was played live just once and never recorded.

With 'Citizens & Rivers' we really feel like we've managed to achieve the mythical balance of melody and noise, capturing the energy of our live sets without losing our more delicate moments.

The launch show takes place at Norwich OPEN on March 7th, 2014 where we will be supported by our old friends Darwin & The Dinosaur (darwinandthedinosaur.bandcamp.com), Brighton's Tied To The Mast (tiedtothemast.bandcamp.com) and Ducking Punches (duckingpunches.bandcamp.com).

Buy your tickets (www.ueaticketbookings.co.uk), and come wave hello to 'Citizens & Rivers'.
