Washing Blood From My Hands
Chipping at the face, the face that you see
The ladder you’ve drawn is as high as the kites on the wind
Oooh where have you been
Cos since I’ve been slipping, what wonders you’ve seen
Now that I’m gone
The ends are untidy and torn into strips
But the morning has brought a fine shine to your lips
With the slightest of hands, you’re away with the damned
And the slightest of hands, you’re damned
I’ve got one more question, that I would like answered
If you’ve got the time to put your pen to my paper
Lend me your ear, lend me your hand
Anything other than understanding this and all of that
If you’re gonna say it then say it now
If you’re gonna say it then say it now
There’s plenty of you and there’s plenty of me
And there’s plenty of things that we all want to be
The ladder you’ve drawn is a as high as the kite on the wind
I wrote you a letter, you sang me a song
And we’re all getting better at playing along
With the slightest of hands we’re away with the damned
And I don’t understand this on my own
We are thieves with our dagger but our goods are outweighed
There’s a shadow in this town that has us to stay
With the slightest of hands, you’re away with the damned.
never heard this!i purchased the “silver boot for sam” cd years ago but upon opening it recently i realised i’ve misplaced th cd (which to my memory/knowledge) i can’t remember playing booohoooo.
i’ll have to purchase it again asap.
peace and bluefits xxx
Keep an eye on the website Shop this week, we’ve now got some older back catalogue releases to sell, including this CD. Will add it asap. x
it’s a pretty awesome song. You can get it from iTunes too. Or just listen to a bit of it and be happy for a while, while waiting to get the cd (^_^)
heey, wicked ye i bet its nice as always hehe. don’t know where the fuck the cd i bought before has gone!i don’t use i-tunes never have for some reason so i’ll wait till ive got some moneys.
it’d b awesome to build up a collection of different merchandise/memorabilia to sell aswell as t-shirts and bags.. there’s a few oldschool songs ive “missed out” on hearing ummmmm “ode to fucking everyone” is another (liked reading the lyrics)
. those lupen crook matchsticks you mentioned b4 silvia sounded cool? wouldn’t mind some of them
hope alls well
peace x
Good point – what happened to Ode to Fucking everyone? I think I only heard at gigs. Matchsticks are pretty cool.. If I remember correctly I picked them up during a gig atctge dublic castle in Camden ? I think they were just scattered around tables as clever piecesof promotional material. Talking about merch, hubby went out with baby yesterday wearing lupen crook tshirt. I didn’t realise and went out to meet them wearing the same tshirt. We looked like we were doing some charity run – slightly embarassing x
The evil, stomping motherfucker that is Ode To Fucking Everyone will be on the new album. If you’ve only ever heard the solo acoustic version, prepare to be amazed.
As for merchandise, there are a million ideas floating around, we need to start putting a few into action. What kind of things would you like to see being made available?
blow-up doll or oyster card wallet
Also I would like a notebook.. One of those you can carry around with you to write down stuff that suddenly comes to your mind and you don’t want to forget. And In it you could have LC pics and bits of lyrics and words and whatever else u guys can think of. I would say 75% blank space and 25% LC stuff. I would definitely buy those. Xx
herro HG and co!ye i bet theres plenty ideas floating about, countless possibilites really :p are those lupen matchsticks still in circulation at all then? ye the writing pad is a nice idea too, definately worth a thought.
“A penny for a thought but a thought weighs a pound”
..and those shake baby shake rattles too i’m sure would sell :p i’d probably end up buying one n using it as a maracaa or something haha
ahhh well looking forward to hearing the album, and im sure i’ll b doubly amazed by “ode…” cos i havnt even heard th acoustic original!
hope everyone’s well in the crooked family xx
Nice one for the ideas. Keep them coming. Just working on a new silver charm at the moment. Should have pictures of the rough one tomorrow innit. xxx
You should do the rattles and donate the revenue to the National Centre on Shaken Baby Syndrome. Incidentally, if you google ‘Shake Baby Shake Lyrics’ the first result you get is this http://www.lyricsdownload.com/seeed-shake-baby-shake-lyrics.html
which made me giggle a little x
thinking about it, thats a cool idea silvia, those oyster card wallets
don’t know if its at all possible but it’d b ace if you could have copies of different artworks of yours printed onto the wallets, you could maybe have a certain collection of them in a range of funky wallets?!
that link was funny as hell too!really random
bit rinsed for more ideas but i’ll holla if i come up with sumat.
sounds cool with the silver charms
sorry to rush or annoy but did you decide on a price for the charms in the end?
peace,strums n blueftisxx
over the last week i’ve shown my mother this song and she proper loves it and says things like
she often curses lots of new music but she reckons your great. she actually released a record in ’77 (recorded in some studio in san fransisco when she was my age now, 23!) it was a split vinyl L.P. of her & a mates folkyness, i’d like it if you guys could hear it sometime if we could get round to it?
“wow, he’s done it here..its gorgeous..it should b number one!..”
anyhooos, sorry for th banter n late night tomfoolery
peace n bluefits as ever/always
