The Songs:

Home in the Suburbs - The reality doesn't always
meet the expectation. A song about suburban anxiety
featuring a nice solo by Dirk. One of the first
songs we wrote together.

Boys Don't Lie - U2 meets The Who meets Morrissey.
The frustration and confusion of young love.

History Never Repeats - A failed romance, a second
chance? Moody and hypnotic number which features the
Rubber Choir on the outro. Dirk plays Bongo guitar
on this one.

The Girl with Something Extra - We wrote this after
watching "Hedwig and the Angry Inch".

Don't You Listen? - Country-tinged song (by way of
R.E.M.) about the way we don't talk to each other
anymore.

Tin City - Husker Du and the New York Dolls on this
one. Loud, fast, grinding guitars tell the story of
living in a trailer park, driving a junker car and
just getting by.

For Someone Else - Missing someone who hasn't even
left yet and dreading the passage of time.

Living in Luxury - Unemployed and not caring. This
Kinks-influenced track is short and to the point.

The Big Swim - Who? Isolation, desperation, and a
catchy chorus. What could be better? Watch out for
the wood chipper in the middle bit!

Too Close to Us - Echoes of XTC'S "Punch and Judy".
This one has a beat that keeps turning around.
Features a melody line based on a sample of Tony's
neighbor's cat!

Only Fools Fall in Love - Based on the theme of the
50's song "Why Do Fools Fall in Love?" this tune is
about a guy who thinks he's cool and not jealous of
anyone's relationship (sure-, not too much!)

Vanity Affair - The ultimate love song, influenced
by the Pistols and the Damned. I wrote and played
rhythm guitar on this one. Turn it up and watch your
speakers melt! Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.

Hope you like it! Regards, Fred
