The lyrics:
 
At ten past eight,
I'm leaving home,
We'll drive along the bypass 'til we find that road.
The coastal road,
To somewhere new,
Where they don't treat the drink they drink as something they should cling on to.
 
At ten past nine,
I'll take that flight,
And yes we're looking older now but you live this way you're bound to.
We'll wave goodbye,
To all that grey,
But at least a climate where the seasons mark out with distinctive change.
 
And tomorrow am,
We'll start anew,
In a village where the people there can talk about religious views,
Without the need,
Of laws in reams.
Or the worry that the words you use will light some all engulfing fuse.
 
The blue skies the green fields i keep them all in here...
The blue skies the green fields i keep them all in here...
The blue skies the green fields i keep them all in here...
The blue skies the green fields i keep them all in here...
 
And tomorrow am,
In somewhere new,
In a different place you feel the weight of everything you've been through.
So I've got to change,
I need to change,
Cos I don't talk to you no more without the need of fear or rage.
 
The speeches, the anthem, the law with no momentum; I cannot give myself to you.
We're so much older now we need a new home town, a place that we can call our own.
And doll you're proof enough that people are some good they just need space where they can grow.
With speeches and anthems the shape and size of this one, they just need space where they can grow.
 
The blue skies the green fields i keep them all in here...
The blue skies the green fields i keep them all in here...
The blue skies the green fields i keep them all in here...
The blue skies the green fields I'm tired of keeping them in here..

Hi Guys,

 

Photos of new bike.......Let's call it AWESOME!!!!!!!

 

Neil has also changed my position big time, and there is more gap between seat height and bars, so I feel like I'm in more of a racier position.

 

There have been plenty of 'oohs and ahhhhs' as it looks very nice.

 

I have had loads of people already come up and take photos of it and look closely at it.

 

It is much quicker through the single track, and around the bends, and I lost control a few times, as I'm not used to how agile it is. I was tired yesterday and kept going off line because it was taking me by surprise. I rode it again today and had to do two laps at race pace.....I love it!!!!

 

Anyway will get more pics to you soon.

Little Boots : Stuck On Repeat

The radio length edit of this was a free iTunes track recently, and being late to the game I've only just discovered the fantastic 12" version posted on Pitchfork. Get it, and then, once you're hooked check out the new EP on the UK iTunes store. Don't start looking at her YouTube videos though, she makes it all look so easy.
