Oh my baby you are by no means a has-been
Please don’t define yourself in the validation of scenes
Some memory of transient community
You mean so much more to me
And ex-lovers and your brothers and all the others that you’ve touched
You are transcendent, independent and you inspire so much
I hear you play yourself down as a joke
Truely basic, too abrasive, identified by cheap paint, wine and smoke
I see you through all the flaws you wear like jewels
The most creative, complicated, wrestling with your ego boosts
Oh well maybe you think in similar ways that I do
I feel you seeing into me and I feel I can see into you too
We share our heads through feigned confidence
The softest of souls project like an edge and it’s all defence
Plush cubes don’t hurt when thrown and they don’t roll
But the you also know that you’re special and I’m so glad that you know
You don’t need me to tell you but I still want to tell you
You have the rarest soul

You don’t need me to tell you but I still want to tell you
You have the rarest soul
I’m thrown off as self-perceptions the exception and static we are not
Fluctuate between the quite rightly bolstered ego and the veil of self-hate
Sometimes your worth is spoken of in terms that as someone who loves you so makes me feel hurt because I know you’re much more than this, you know it too, you’ve shown you do, you don’t need me to validate you.
But sometimes when those who’ve hurt you are on jyour mind and you are reminiscing painfully I may choose to remind.

Chrissy is one of the best songwriters in the UK and a crushingly great live act. Both sad and witty, Chrissy is both an accomplished lyricist and a wildly creative guitarist.

We toured with June from two steps on the water in Australia and where really blown away by her voice and presence. Since then we've both been obsessed with this album. It's very special.
