Things about the album...
The debut album, simply titled 'The Lucky Face' to avoid internal conflict (or any actual thought), is released on June 6th 2011 through all the major and most minor download stores.
It was recorded as a two sided album like the old records that you have to turn over in the middle. As you can't physically turn a download album over half way through, you will need to turn your entire body over when track six has finished in order to enjoy the full benefits of the album. If this is not possible due to circumstances beyond your control, please turn your mp3 player/computer/mobile telephone over instead.
The Tracks:
Side One:
Time Flies - A load of nonsense, chosen as an opener for the first line.
Self Help - New EU regulations state that at least one in twelve songs must now carry a positive message.
Overheating - A song with not one but two bridges. Known affectionately as Lloyd & Jeff.
Don't Say Nothing - A song about corruption in the music industry. It doesn't happen anymore of course, as there isn't one.
Underneath The City Lights - The first single remixed & remastered. Girl meets boy. Boy meets guitar. Boy & guitar meet gutter.
When Edie Decides - A song for all cat owners. Features Edie's brother Nico Friendly on backing vocals.
Side Two:
John, You Always Get The Fit One - Don't be offended. This is a unisex song. You know it's true though. Could easily be 'Jane' or 'Joan' or 'Darren', but they don't rhyme with 'one'.
The Lonely Way - For when you accidentally dream the wrong dream.
Like Ronnie Said To Phil - Not about Eastenders, for the millionth time. Phil used to lock her up apparently. And make her drive with a blow up doll in the car to prevent unwanted male attention. Read Ronnie's book for the full story. Sonny was the same with Cher. She's in track seven.
Write Your Own History - If you don't write it, somebody else will & it'll be less favourable. And possibly more boring.
Calamity - The old 'favourite' included due to favouritism.
Fifteen Minutes - The mere breaking of wind can achieve 'genius' status these days. On most occasions, this translates as 'slightly above average'.
