If you act like I do, and I act like you
Then we’re like two actors whose lines we once knew
I was something
To someone
No one you knew
I had riddles for days
I could ask you a few
We may just go down like they do in the books
They’ll speak of our crimes
They’ll call us both crooks
We’ll say that we meant well
But it won’t mean much
Cause we meddled with things that we weren’t meant to touch
Who am I?
Who are you?
Who are we to do the things that we do?
Oh you’re awfully mad and that’s easy to see
You are bad, yes you’re bad but your better than me
I’ve never known such cold or hostile terrain
Your once temperate temper has frozen again
When I’m at my worst I’m the best I can be
I’m a hand with no thumbs and I’ve let you slip free
Who am I?
Who are they?
Who are we to say the things that we say?
Are you holy? Or heathen? Or just in between?
Cause you’re bad, yes you’re bad but you’re better than me
And we thought that it might just work out in the end
With our arms held outstretched as if we were friends
Are you holy?
Or heathen?
Or just in between?
Cause you’re bad, yes you’re bad but you’re better than me

Don’t climb trees, darling you would fall
And what would I do
When you hurt, darling I do too
Still you take such risks like these
Following all of your friends
You’re shaking the windows again
Like a rattling chain in my head
‘Do as I said, do as I said’ over and over again
Don’t wade too deep, darling you would drown
and what would I do
when you can’t breathe, I can’t breathe for you
Still you take such risks like these
Following all of your friends
You’re shaking the windows again
Like a rattling chain in my head
‘Do as I said, do as I said’ over and over again
Who has teeth but doesn’t bite, who hunts but not to kill?
Who’s going to tell you when you’re wrong when no one else will?
Don’t walk at night, darling you’d get lost
And what would I do
When you can’t see, I can’t see for you
Still you take such risks like these
Following all of your friends
You’re shaking the windows again
Like a rattling chain in my head
‘Do as I said, do as I said’ over and over again

She made two cups of earl grey
One for her, one for me
We’d sit and watch the same film
Every Sunday after three
Everyday she’d do the dishes, like every day before
For hours I’d sit and watch her on the green linoleum floor
She’d bake us cakes then give us spoons so we could lick the bowls
Think I’ve felt this way before
Back then we didn’t need
Helping hands to cross the street
They’d just fill our pockets full
Then say won’t you bring us something sweet
They’d pat our heads, then leave us be
And nothing else was said
Then we’d sit inside on Sundays
Then the week would start again
For everything they gave us they said share it with a friend
Never thought I’d feel again
While you were washing cars, walking dogs
Mowing lawns, planting trees
I was selling lemonade from concentrate on the corner of my street
Remembering the very day I first became a thief
Now I do honest work for honest pay and try to be discreet
Think I’ve felt this way before
Never thought I’d feel again

You filled up all your rooms so full
There was no room to stay
Will you choose the high road ?
Or high horse to find your way?
You tried to heal yourself
You’re not the healing kind
I tried to build a highway
Down your one-track mind
They can’t be trusted
They all tend to look the same
The ones who sell the antidote have also caused the pain
Just like their holy water
You can buy it by the bottle
But everything you feel today
Will still be felt tomorrow
But you could rely on me
You could rely on me
Just rely on me, just rely on me
Just rely on me
You’re like a habit
You don’t easily break
You were told that you deserve the world
And so, you always take
They say collectors keep collecting
Doesn’t matter what the cost
While it’s accumulating you won’t know how much you lost
You can imagine it away
But it won’t get you far
Or your could blame it on the moon
Or something bigger than you are
Or you could rely on me
You could rely on me
Just rely on me, just rely on me
Just rely on me.

My friends all live in glass
Way in the sky
‘The sky’s the limit’ (that’s what they would hear, when they were very young)
‘Whatever barriers that come your way’ they’d say, then say again ‘just live to be important when you’re gone’.
My friends keep finding ways to drown the noises
Not knowing that it’s something they should hear
But I feel it, your fury and your blinding rage
The rest will stay the same, cause you refuse to change
You’ve drowned out all potential ways to stay curious and strange
And late at night they look into the lives of people they don’t like
Who they’ll never know because it hurts to ask
Yet they wish, they hope, they dream, they’re hungry, ravenous
Forever reaching under fences for the greener grass
My friends keep making noise to keep them busy
Too busy to hear anything at all
But I feel it, your fury and your blinding rage
The rest will stay the same
Cause you refuse to change
You’ve drowned out all potential ways to stay…
When all the lights and all the colour
Start to blend, become each other
Call it what you like, this love is unrequited
Undefined, a fact I thought I’d learn in time
Still I feel you
Your fury and your blinding rage
The rest will stay the same
Another blemish on the page
No longer curious or strange
But what’s important to you today?

I’m made of steel, soon I will rust
This feeble heart can’t beat for both of us
Did you know
When you were young that those sweet, delightful words
Were spoken on sour tongues
When I was in need
When I was in need
When I was in need of space
I was in over my head
What was it you said? Everything you do, you do for love?
But what would you do for love?
I dig my claws in when you sleep
I am that secret you buried way down deep
I’m on my knees, against the wall
Can no longer live at your beck and at your call
When I was in need
When I was in need
When I was in need of space
I was in over my head
What was it you said? Everything you do you do for love?
But what would you do for love?

They’re pretending not to nice
That were pretending to be just like them
We came to an agreement
We’ll take this
We’ll need it
Lavender to sleep at night
Blood oranges for sugars
We want it, we’ve got it
we’ll take it straight from the vine
We’re insatiable
Oh what were we to do? We’re hungry just like you
And you are insatiable
What were we to do? we’re hungry just like you
Now the greatest highlight of the day:
Getting a seat on the commuter train
It takes you
It takes you
It takes you
Then brings you back again
And the closest I get to sky
Is catching sunsets on my evening drive
Lavender clouds hiding the blood orange sun
A sweet reminder of when we were young
And insatiable
What were we to do? We’re hungry just like you
And you are insatiable
What were we to do? We’re hungry just like you

Laura Reznek London, UK
Laura Reznek has never liked to talk about herself. If you listen closely to her music, however, you’ll hear murmurs of naked disclosure — fragments of grief, anger, and complicated joy riddled through her melodies. Laura layers meticulous arrangements with found sounds, crafting plush sonic textures that occasionally bristle with something darker. ... more

The Edge of the Land
by Katie Spencer
supported by 5 fans who also own “Agrimony”
I first heard Katie Spencer on YouTube when she was featured on the For Bert Jansch playlist. Katie played her own song called Shannon Road. The lead break that she plays twice really got my attention. I became a fan instantly. Every track on this album is lovely. The whole listening experience is like a favourite film running through my head. I'm so glad that in my twilight years I discovered Katie. I wish her a long and succesful career in music.
