The Payback / White Chalk Cross

Download only, double A-side single. Pay-what-you-want, all proceeds will be donated to SHELTER, so that means turkey sandwiches all round.........it is Christmas after all.

Love,

BREATHE OUT.




Here's some words -

"The rather-brilliant Breathe Out have today released a new download-only single via their blog. The AA-side single contains two new tracks The Payback and White Chalk Cross and if the fact that both songs are as good as anything the band have produced so far isn’t enough to convince you to buy the tracks then you should also know that all the money raised from the single will go to the Shelter charity.

As far as the two tracks are concerned, White Chalk Cross drifts along nicely on Lemonheads-style vibes but it’s The Payback that steals the show and is another sparkling slice of up-tempo-rock-with-real-heart, all head-rush guitar solo’s and heart-pounding melodies that reminds us just why we fell so hard for the band’s debut EP"

Lyrics:


THE PAYBACK
Little shoes sat on the steps
Freaking out on something I just read
In my mother's magazines
Predicting my end in 3D live on my television

When I was just a boy
I used to feel like I'd die
on a sunday afternoon
eating all my insides out

I feel it rising up through me
little yellow diamonds on my knees
I feel it flowing through my feet
bubbling in my stomach burning at the core of my body

So long, so long, so long ago

Don't take it all out on me
get ready for the payback
completely dead too bleak to see
that there's no way back from here

Take my shoes off
Breathing backwards
Cough my lungs up
Not growing up I'm growing down.

WHITE CHALK CROSS
My child you've suffered enough
I'll give you what they say you've lost
I'll let you live with us
I'll give you what they say you've lost

Even though I feel so lost
I have faith in my family
they're coming back for me
even though I seem so lost

You cannot drink the water flowing off your back
You need a higher mentor picking up the slack
White chalk cross won't protect you from what is wrong
Shave off all your hair and forget where you come from

My God I've suffered enough
Just give me what they say I've lost
Just let me live with you
Just give me what they say I've lost


I cannot drink the water flowing off my back
I need a higher mentor picking up the slack
White chalk cross, protect me from what is wrong
Shave off all my hair and forget where I come from.

Acoustic GAGA.

Evening all,

Whilst our campaign for a new drummer continues (we're nearly there) Alex and James will be playing some 'intimate + sexy' acoustic shows over the festive period.  It's an opportunity for mulled wine, hot apple and rum or just a plain old ale and a cheeky scotch egg.

We play the Be Well Dressed Blog Launch @ The Rag Factory, Brick Lane, December 8th

and the Macbeth for Kevin Morosky, Hoxton, November 28th.

In the meantime, we have some exciting charity based/new song/christmas No.1 news very soon.

Remember John Maus@Rough Trade tomorrow at 1pm, see you in the PIT >>>
