lyrics

need to aim a bit higher
couldn't aim any lower
i write all these songs to make me feel better
it mostly works
i write about football
and i write about snooker too
do what the hell i like
it's nothing to do with you

you talk about craft
whilst keeping a straight face
i write all these songs to make me feel better
it hardly ever works
cos the kids ain't got no brains
and the oldies have thrown in the towel
i've resorted to plastic surgery
at the eleventh hour...

every now and then i think of ending it all
my nature is vile and my spirit's small

all i wanted to do is walk beyond the blue
of the Irish Sea it's true...how could i hate you?

late night thoughts
when i ought to be sleeping
get away...keep away
i am grateful to you
and so happy for you too
it's been a couple of decades now
Othello...

we need to protect the public
and we need to feel wanted
we need an awful lot of things
to keep us preoccupied for the rest of the day
because life is very short
whilst going on forever
you don't seriously expect
to show your face around town after this do you?!

every now and then i think of ending it all
my nature is vile and my spirit's small

all i wanted to do is walk beyond the blue
of the Irish Sea it's true...how could i hate you?

Claire Welles Liverpool, UK

One of Liverpool’s finest underground provocateurs. Fiercely singular in her approach to music yet with a musical nous you simply can’t teach.

A long history of recording music, Claire has straddled almost every musical styling yet imbues her music with a rich melodic tendency which makes her experimental pop ease into your being over time. If you let it. ... more
