lyrics

took a pilgrimage to widnes
it was the first week of christmas
near the place i called you a bad name
must've been terrible and caused a lot of pain
pretend to be someone else
i've had enough of this shitty little town
of this little town, of this little town

well i could say the same for my current life
though i love where i live and it makes me smile
if i could get away...
if i could get away to another time
i would walk the streets with a friend of mine
if i could get away, i would get away,
get away

took a train down to widnes and wiped
the spit off my back, it was only then
that i felt i had truly gone right back
you can learn the lie in every truth
so you can learn the truth in every lie
don't it make you cry
don't it make you cry, don't it make you cry?

got no history, got no family tree
no positivity, give in to me
screaming inside out
cos i'm so full of doubt, is this what life is about?
well i could say the same of my current life
though i love where i live and it makes me smile
makes me smile

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
