about

title track - this was about KW and I asked her to sing on it. also a love poem to Longbenton, and another nicked line from a kid overheard on the Metro in a "diamonds in the gutter" sort of way.

lyrics

a kid on the Metro sees a police helicopter, and says to his mother "a flying pig!" - and you've found another jewel in the dustbin of the world. These maisonettes and towers have seen better days, like the peopel and pets that still live in them, and if I ruled the world, we'd have a palace each. I want to protect you from being protected, I want to save you from being saved. I want to hold you back from being held back. I want the best for you, and I'm not it.
