    Hey there,

    Thanks for stopping by. Most of the tracks on my debut album are free to download because I really appreciate that some of you like and support what I do.

    It might be a weird album, but it contains lots of recurring deeply-personal themes and a generally-dark but hopeful atmosphere which centres on betrayal, love, friendship, city life, growing up, finding a career, and joining the adult world. Fun stuff.

    Enjoy,
    Dom

I had to stop you for a minute dear You don’t know what I’m thinking We have to disappear From here I saw you staring straight into my eyes I won’t play mister nice We have to disappear From here ‘Cause when I’m wrong, I’m right You think I won’t? I might I won’t be jealous, overzealous I can’t bear this, will you stop ‘cause I don’t wanna be there if he’s there I’m trying so hard not to say that You don’t have to think he’s alright too He hates me so much ‘cause he wants you You don’t have to cry when your faith falls We can take our time, it’s a long haul I’ll help you not worry, like you helped me I’ll click it in your mind and you’ll see I had to stop you for a minute dear You don’t know what I’m thinking We have to disappear From here I saw you staring straight into my eyes I won’t play mister nice We have to disappear From here I had to stop you for a minute dear You don’t know what I’m thinking We have to disappear From here I saw you staring straight into my eyes I won’t play mister nice We have to disappear From here I saw you staring straight into my eyes I am the king of nothing We have to disappear From here

Knocking on doors at Half past four The beast at the door, he Always wants more It’s in my bones ‘cause The cat has come home and He’s trying to get in Everyone is Knocking on doors at Half past four You’ve Got me Spinning Around And I Believe You’re the thief Words you’ll contain on Ancient tape Break me down but karma’s Coming around Hang the thief so we’ll Cut his teeth Joining the mob It’s us you see Knocking on doors at Half past four You’ve Got me Spinning Around Like There is No Sound And I Believe You’re the thief

Prophecy 03:22
lyrics

Put a tie round your neck And pull the cord tight A prophecy for the children No black line Punches you in the teeth Kicks the pain out Don’t bother fighting back You fit in now Dancing by the city lights Dancing by the city lights Dancing by the city lights He’s clawing up above To the surface But all that’s up above Is the worst place Dancing by the city lights Dancing by the city lights Dancing by the city lights Dancing by the city

Lips On, Lights Off 03:46

Lips on, lights off You know there’s no excuse for that Hiding in the basement Waiting for these folk to go home Take off, let go You know that’s not a reason, and These lights make me sick And I can’t go on alone You’re hiding in the basement (Hoping that he stumbles) Hiding in the basement Hoping she won’t take me back (x4) Fair game, in love You know that’s not a reason, and These lights make me sick And I just want to go home You’re hiding in the basement (Hoping that he stumbles) Hiding in the basement Hoping she won’t take me back (x4) You’re hiding in the basement (Hoping that he stumbles) Hiding in the basement Hoping she won’t take me back (x2)

In Circles 04:41

The greatest Things in life hurt Most of all And worst of all is that Whatever Happens to the World we’re in I’ll hold it to the part The part of me That conquers Everything Is telling me to love Love (x8) In circles I repeat myself Always In circles I repeat myself Always In circles I repeat myself Always The one Mistake I think I Ever made Was telling you your faults Faults (x8) The part of me That conquers Everything Is telling me to love Love (x8) In circles I repeat myself Always In circles I repeat myself Always

Waterworks 03:46
lyrics
buy track
I’ve seen the devil With a foot in the door But I’ve never seen demons Like yours before You know I’ve sinned but then I’ve seen too much You need a human With a real touch And there is malice Hidden in his frown I’ve seen that love before It’s tearing him down And when he’s had enough He’s had too much He’s on the next one With a tale of love I didn’t have The time For you Is it in my mind? ‘Cause I’ve been here before It hurt like hell, for sure But I will Rise up again Turn off the waterworks You’re out of luck Make me believe that he can Give a fuck You know I’ve sinned before You know I have sinned Your inspiration will not Change a thing There’s so much promise In that broken mind I know it’s perfect But she’s not so divine And he’s a tin that Rattles your cage, he Needs a reason To come down from this pain I didn’t have The time For you Is it in my mind? ‘Cause I’ve been here before It hurt like hell, for sure But I will Rise up again

Calm Down 03:49
lyrics
buy track
Crawling up the stairs Trying to get my clothes off I got it right But I got it so wrong Can’t you see I’m just trying to understand? The things you do to me Are so amazing Fumble round And then I can’t even see inside your head Yeah, it hurts sometimes The times I lay down in bed Turn my head into mush You turn my head into mush You’re more than a crush Or a stamp in the dust I’m gonna flush, I’m gonna gush I’m gonna stir, I’m gonna slur Silly words I say I say to you Can’t you see I’m just trying to understand? The things you do to me Are so amazing You know me well You know me well I’m doing my best Can’t you tell? I’m doing my best I’m doing my best Can’t you tell? Calm down Calm down (x2) Then it all came crashing down They were up against the wall Bodies intertwined And you saw it all

Big Things 05:49
lyrics
buy track
I need a minute to get My head on track I need to piece together All your twisted facts You fuck me over because You want what I have Isn’t it enough to know that I’m a broken man? Call it what you want but I need Closure on the past I’m paranoid ‘cause you’re a fucked up Fucked up little man I’ve painted on a smile and I have Smoothened out the glass Torn a little hole to peep through The world is far too vast Big things will happen If you let them happen Big things will happen Big things will happen I’m glad I miss you man Something opportunist about that Gleaming in your eyes I was so naïve but now I Know what’s on your mind You turn the tables on me, I thought That you were my friend Isn’t it enough to know I Drive her round the bend?
