I'm awake, and all I hear is some twat on TV selling kitchen knives. I can’t move. I can’t open my eyes. I think I was shot last night. Or stabbed. I have the worst pain in my side, like TV twat is actually stabbing me with a paring knife. I can live with the … Continue reading Nothing Else Matters

She Sells Sanctuary
She sells sanctuary, twenty-five pounds a turn in the comfort of your own car. We used to sit together in fifth-year English, drawing graffiti on the desks and throwing paper-bombs behind the teacher's back.

Coldplay Cover – The Scientist
Hi all, One of my New Year's Resolutions was to set up a Soundcloud account and post some of my original music up there. I'm still trying to get my head around the recording process, especially the software, so I thought I'd test the water with a cover first. Anyway, here it is.
