Hey. I think I made a mistake. Nothing that I have done has gone according to plan. Blame. Well, it's all on me. I've messed up again and I can't find a way out. I think we've turned a corner And nothing will be the same. In another direction, I would change for you. I'm not a cog in the wheel. I'm a spanner in the works. I hope that you understand That I'm trying hard to explain. It's really not my fault. Sorry it's just who I am. I think we've turned a corner And nothing will be the same. In another direction, I would change for you.

Take a walk in the sand Remember holding your hand On the first day we met. I've said it before and I'll say it again I thought that, whatever, we'd always be friends. I was young. Naive enough to believe. It's something over nothing I'm not healthy today. If I could I'd take it back. Looking back's kind of weird After so many years. Like watching an old film. I was someone else And was it really me? I don't recognise the guy I used to be back then. Feels like it was yesterday. It's something over nothing I'm not healthy today. If I could I'd take it back.

Sometimes I go out, Sometimes I read, Sometimes I watch TV. I turn it up loud To cover up the sirens on the street. The flashing lights I wish it meant some's got a cat stuck in a tree. But I know it's worse So I stare at my feet. Sometimes I wish I could join a gang Just like on the TV. I'd have a flick knife But not to take a life. I'd run from a crime spree. Sometimes I go out, Sometimes I read, Sometimes I watch TV. I turn it up loud To cover up the sirens on the street. The flashing lights I wish it meant some's got a cat stuck in a tree. But I know it's worse So I stare at my feet.

I had it figured out. I thought I'd got it right So I question why I got it wrong. Did I not listen? Did I care enough? I gave you all my love. My brain is fried. Knowing what I know And learned In the fallout of our lives. I can't forget. Taking back a part of me That was locked away so long; That's my regret. I will never be the same. You will never hear my name again And when I come back I'll be ten times better. Playing on my mind. Are you out with him? I can't take it on the chin. I think the worst. I play on old record, It makes me think of you And everything I do makes me sad. Doing what I can to change The perception of myself to feel better. Make who I am visible To everyone And show what I can be. I will never be the same. You will never hear my name again And when I come back I'll be ten times better.

about

Remember when you'd record four tracks in an overpriced studio and you'd call it "a demo"? Everyone calls it an EP now*. Well this is a demo! Maybe we'll call the next one an EP, press a load up with fancy digipak cases and bug you for cash so you can hold an archaic, outdated physical copy in your tangy cheese Dorito stained fingers. In the meantime, this is our first recording. Our first demo. This is Street Drugs.

Recorded on Sunday 23rd August 2015 in 12 hours in a rehearsal room** on an old Korg D1200 MKII***. Don only lasted about 7 hours as he had a hangover the size of a small planet. Arrived late and left early, the swine****.

We hope you like the songs. Download them and stick them on your Zune*****. Turn them up, ok?!

Lots of love,

Street Drugs

* It's a fucking demo.
** Strummers in Holloway for the fact fans.
*** We've got your back, fact fans!
**** You'd expect better from a Yorkshireman, right?
***** Or be cool. Post uber retro neo cool. Pretend it's, like, 1994 and stick it on a CD and then use that to put one of the songs on a mixtape for a girl/guy you fancy. They'll never listen to it though. It's 2015, you idiot. Also, they don't fancy you back. Stop stalking them. Weirdo.
