You’ll Lose A Good Thing

Suggs: A beautiful Barbara Lynn track, which I only knew from an extremely battered reggae 45 by a girl known only as Audrey, on the Down Town label. In fact it was in such bad condition that bits were inaudible and we had to interpret an ...

Kitchen Floor

Kitchen Floor

Woody: 'Kitchen Floor' was the first of a bunch of songs I wrote with my brother Nick. He absolutely cannot stop writing songs. He makes things quite simplistic, and his songs can be monotone - he doesn't resolve melodic lines. But that's ...
Circus Freaks

Circus Freaks

Chris: Woody wrote 'Circus Freaks' with Lee. It was quite a 'rock'-type song. It was good, though the guitar wasn't loud enough. Mike: I was playing the piano so hard on 'Circus Freaks' some of my fingers started bleeding. I'm used to doing ...
The Business

Woody: I'd written a song that was a bit Kings Of Leon-ish, rough, straight, lots of guitar. It sounded fucking great. I played it to Nick, because I needed a melody and some lyrics. He said, "All I've got is a chorus: 'I feel like running out ...
