You thought you were so stupid in that moment That you voiced yourself and were an embarrassment That you got it all totally wrong And missed the glaring obviousness That everyone else picked up on You kept a brave face, didn’t twitch Didn’t let the room know you had awareness of the slip You took [...]

Ode To My People 17/05/2022
17/05/2022 I’ve recorded the EP! FINALLY! My seven piece band and I spent the 16th and 17th of April in Satellite Studios, Enfield, securing our months of hard work into a fixed project that we can share with the world. I feel so proud, and so excited. After going to an Orii Jam in Hackney [...]
Fastloosen
Got VIP, priority, Cos of my network Had Faith in the line, with love as my net worth Dropped off coats, two for one Some tap water and out of date crisps Looking round I knew I didn’t fit in I got all 70s for a show in the now It was a little bit [...]
Towards You
Walk with me Not against me The wind is pushing us My direction So turn and head me Face the thing You wish nature Would thrust you from Because every time you cut The journey short You just end up on the long Way to Because every time You run from me I run faster [...]

Fri-Ends Are Where It Starts 17/03/22
17/03/22 I couldn’t move on Sunday. I laid in bed being nursed by Mama with guts somersaulting, legs tearing from the hip to the knee to the toes and my skin more tender than a wing. I rolled about like a product of Greggs and staggered to the loo like I was in a ward. [...]
I Remember Forgetting You
I love it when you move like no one’s watching And under the guise of plastic reflection I see you, truly But you are clueless, you’re moving And I move less Because if I’m caught, the show’s over And I can’t bare to sit here for an hour With nothing but a digital reality And [...]

I don’t think I ever won’t. You’re still a spirit of yester I’m fragmented Split into the past and the future [...]
