about

This soulful yet acerbic track about an illicit love affair combines a clean-toned acoustic guitar groove with a front-and-centre vocal performance and whispering backing vocals.

It was recorded in a short afternoon with Steve in our last ever recording session - but with its strong melody it still is a popular song in my sets and one I love playing. I might yet rerecord it for a full release.

lyrics

you dropped to my corner, your hair cracking over your face
there was dirt in your nails, you were melting a crimson smiled
waxed on

sweetheart your eyes gave your age away
they stare through the fire and only see driving rain

scratched on your back screams a message reads 'rescue me'
surrounded by bottles your neck bent straight down to your feet
cheer up

'cuz I'll be the vice that helps you reappear
we deserve nothing worse than the hole we carved out here
so dig with me now

little scandal

stones at the window, an ear pressed against the wall
holding your name in my throat 'til I hear the bolts crawl
across

so slip off the charm that you wear next door
under your gaze, I feel the heat burst through the floor
so let's have this battle and know we lost the war
so humour we now

little scandal
