Matador 05:26
Autumn’s sun Days can end Undone Spanish dream In hot pursuit of self.. Esteem ....... (Past present future walk into a bar. It was tense) Matador Taught me what these words Are for Even winter's daughter Heeds the order Of spring (She'll always come) ....... Slow decline Still some moments to shine (but you can't shine shit) Autumn’s son All undone Holding on Almost gone

Only Child 04:41
Take my arms You cannot hold me now Take my lips You’ll never kiss Take my eyes You will so be struck blind Take my name I am your only child I am your only living child Oh lover make me over We’ll turn the inside outside Oh love I’ll make you over we'll turn the outside inside out Take my hands You cannot touch me now Take my legs You will kneel Take my heart You will no longer care Take my clothes You will so be stripped bare You will so be stripped bonny bare Oh love I'll make you over You'll shed you're name just like a skin Oh lover make me over Breathe me out and breathe me in It's a hard time gentle (It's a shout out to the ravers) It's a hard time to be kind (It's a shout out from to the kind Cast out the master Of your only living child Your only living child

Additional recording on 'Matador' by Ben Osborn & Oras Shukur

Thank you: Ben, whose contributions so persuasively suggested the arrangement of ‘Matador’ found here, Oras for his quiet breaths, Antonio for stirring the pot, Michelle for consistently reminding me of the origins, Fabian for timely assessments. Special thanks to Anna for patience, care and revisiting the piano, against the odds, for ‘Only Child’ - this is for you.
