about

This track is taken from the album Paul Liddell & Delphians - LIVE. The album was recorded at a gig in a tiny room upstairs at The Grey Horse pub in Whitburn Village, Sunderland. There were only 80 people at the gig. I hope you're enjoying the intimate vibe of the album. Thanks!

lyrics

She's a beautiful lady/but she's got no gums
She's crippled by passion/and tar on the lungs
A true love for the bottle/from the bottom up
She's your new best friend/when she's out of luck

Scratch my back so I cut you loose/lost your luck to find your noose
It didn't feel like giving up/but I will not tie you up

I will not break the formula/will not break your neck
Because it's over.
Always give your love away/make the same mistake
When you're sober
Receeding to a second son/I don't need your love to tell me how long
'Cos I know you're long gone
To tell me how long

When you drowned in your drinking/we didn't hang you out to dry
You live where all things wither/with curtains closed and too much time
The way that you walk/you'd think that you ran the world
But all you have is nickel/and rings and reams of plastic pearls

Scratch my back so I cut you loose/lost your luck to find your noose
It didn't feel like giving up/but I will not tie you up

I will not break the formula/will not break your neck
Because it's over.
Always give your love away/make the same mistake
When you're sober
Receeding to a second son/I don't need your love to tell me how long

Busy being yourself/didn't notice you were someone else
Vendetta/forever

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
