1.	Ghost Car (The Caffeine Kicks) 04:13	lyrics	buy track
Ghost Car (The Caffeine Kicks) I drive a ghost car I drive through the night I drive a ghost car I drive it through the cold wind and rain Always alone, as the night as long I drive for home, keeping on I drive for home I drive a ghost car I drive through the night I drive a ghost car And no-one else can drive my car Not like me, not like this ‘cos they don’t miss, what I miss I drive for this kiss So I while away the hours trying to make it stick I try to stay awake ‘til the caffeine kicks I try to stay awake ‘til the caffeine kicks I stop at a ghost town There’s no-one around I stop at a ghost town Where everyone is fast asleep Shadows populate the street The traffic lights flash red to green Repeat, repeat, but no-one sees So I while away the hours trying to make it stick I try to stay awake ‘til the caffeine kicks I try to stay awake ‘til the caffeine kicks I drive a ghost car I drive through the night A ghost car Always trying to get back home The road is long, I cannot get gone White lines blur to one, until I see the sun White lines blur to one, until I see the sun. Hey! So I while away the hours trying to make it stick I try to stay awake ‘til the caffeine kicks I try to stay awake ‘til the caffeine kicks ‘til the caffeine kicks, ‘til the caffeine kicks. Hey!
2.	Dialling Tone 04:43	lyrics	buy track
I walked away from all I know My battery's dead, I'm miles from home And in 15 minutes I have to call you to say hello Or the paranoia will come to eat me And it seems the phone line is a lifeline An invisible connection to a world I understand 'cos late last night I said I love you And now it's hard to tell the difference between my heartbeats and the dialling tone I'm caving in. I'm all alone I need to find a telephone To call my Mother and ask her if I'm doing alright Or the brown eyed monster just keeps on coming And it seems the phone line is a lifeline An invisible connection to a world I understand 'cos late last night I said I love you And now it's hard to tell the difference between my the dialling tone I don't know how it got like this, but I cannot desist I cannot let up, grow up, wake up. And it seems the phone line is a lifeline An invisible connection to a world I understand 'cos late last night I said I love you And now it's hard to tell the difference between my heartbeats and the dialling tone The telephone
3.	Trouble In Hell 04:01	lyrics	buy track
TROUBLE IN HELL Your tracks will come back and lead you through the winter alone And flat on my back I’ll meet you on our island of stone What’s on your mind friend? Can I help you take off your shoes? Got some time on your hands, but you didn’t come and help me. Blow up and bruise. There is trouble in hell Now your arms are so thin I thought of branches brittle and prone So I followed you in and I wasted by the minute I couldn’t find your sin. I only found my limit. There is trouble in hell Now everybody’s shrinking to their core, or so I’ve been told ‘cos I listen to the whispers, and they said to let you go And help myself float There is trouble in hell
4.	Boots 04:02	lyrics	buy track
BOOTS We fell behind. Our luck was much too bleak I was much too kind and you were weak No hanging your hear or turning away I do not want to take this day by day So pick up the pieces take what you need then do what you need to do You’re not over the hill, the time that you kill won’t help you blow up and bruise With your boots laced up your tiny feet will walk all over me I don’t expect too much, I don’t wanna find you hanging from a tree With your boots laced up, your tiny feet will walk all over me You made mistakes, over and over and over again It isn’t an issue of making amends. I think it has come to the time for revenge You’re losing the plot, forgot what you’ve got and all that you have to lose You’re not over the hill the time that you kill won’t help you blow up and bruise With your boots laced up your tiny feet will walk all over me I don’t expect too much, I don’t wanna find you hanging from a tree With your boots laced up, your tiny feet will walk all over me
5.	Monsoon Rain 03:15	lyrics	buy track
MONSOON RAIN Do you ever think about getting off the conveyor belt of how life’s meant to be? I will not choose, just refuse, I will not take this path in front of me So lead a tidy life and let yourself fade With an smile on your face while you’re getting paid And you feel the world will never be the same Tears roaring through you like a monsoon rain No more crying, unhappy feelings, what you believe in is so deceiving It’s not a question of finding meaning Life is the answer. Love is the reason Do you ever think to yourself in a moment of clarity ‘this isn’t the way that my life’s meant to be’? You try to avoid the pursuit of some dude in a suit who will try to dilute you and make you a machine The party line is malign lies, repeat to fade Take a vow in front of god just to change your name Then slave in a trade ‘til the flat screen’s paid Tears roaring through you like a monsoon rain No more crying, unhappy feelings, what you believe in is so deceiving It’s not a question of finding meaning Life is the answer. Love is the reason

Paul Liddell Sunderland, UK

Paul's modern take on the 'one man band' using live loops, guitar percussion, harmonies and effects has seen him support artists such as Turin Brakes, Jon Gomm and Billy Bragg. A diverse and challenging writer with a unique voice, his live performances range from whispering intensity to a white knuckle, edge of your seat, ear splittingly glorious racket. ... more
