lyrics

I know you’re just living in the moment,
but Europe doesn’t need you like I do.
And since we’re being open -
i could use the real you,
not what I see on a cell phone screen.
i need you here right next to me.

Different cities, same mistakes.
I’ll miss you less far away.
You’ve got me all wrong.
You never had me.

What are you thinking of?
‘Cos part of me thinks I made this up,
the other part believes you’re better off.
i guess we’ll call it luck or whatever you want,
‘cos that’s what you always get.

Different cities, same mistakes.
I’ll miss you less far away.
You’ve got me all wrong.
You never had me.

I tell you all the time,
“things would be different if you were mine”.
Do I cross your mind from time to time
or is it just me at night?
But I’m a broken record
and you’re annoyed by my restless efforts.

I can learn a lot from you.
Teach me things I never knew
about myself, as if you knew me so well…
You don’t know me at all.

See I broke my own heart three years ago,
now I’m learning what it is to reap what you sew.
You’ve got me all wrong...
You don’t know me at all.

I like to pretend I have a really talented friend who recorded this album as a gift. That's what it feels like; a gift from a stupidly close friend. sherryking

Confining himself to the very literal title of the project, what Invalids normally does in long form is here condensed to it's necessity, and illustrates Pete Davis' ability to craft a potent and evocative experience in just a matter of seconds. It's a head-spinning burst of sonic expression that demands little of your time, and a lot of your heart. Stephen Mlinarcik
