about

An old Trains song, recorded live at the Helen Young studio 1999. Dom Blaazer, who I hadn’t seen for a few years, happened to turn up on the day and played Hammond. Around this time I’d been writing and playing music with Ted Brown in a short-lived duo called Right Goes Wrong and somehow this song resurfaced. This date came together quickly. I booked the studio on the Wednesday and we were in there the next weekend. The next time I entered a recording studio with a band would be March 2010 with the newly reformed Trains.

lyrics

You say you want a piece of me,
get even before you get free,
well it was fun for a little while.
I wrote your number in the book,
I didn’t have to look.
I knew it straight, straight off by heart.
I wouldn’t lie to you, you’d see right through.
I wouldn’t lie to you, although some nights I might’ve tried.
I never wanted to see you cry.
I never wanted to see you cry.
I never wanted to see you cry.
So darlin’ please, dry your eyes.
The same bathroom with white, white walls.
The mirror that you’re using, don’t work the same, anymore.
Better get out your make-up bag, things are lookin’ real sad.
There’s too much been said tonight, there’s too much that can’t.
I wouldn’t lie to you, you’d see right through.
I wouldn’t lie to you, although some nights I might’ve tried.
I never wanted to see you cry.
I never wanted to see you cry.
I never wanted to see you cry.
So darlin’ please, dry your eyes.
