Nightsong
Night falls and I’m cold inside
Watching the cars as they pass on by
Is that a moon in the sky or a winking eye?
Leading me on my way uptown tonight
I need to feel that my heart still beats
Cos I’m fading away on the rain-slicked streets
Arms reaching out beneath the lit streetlamps
The sun is down and I’ve nothing to hide
It’s all falling but my arms are open wide
And anyway I’m drawn to the lights like a fly in a trance
So Come up and dance
For one night,
To forget everything
Then if tomorrow comes
I’ll face what it brings
The moment here is all I want
To use for a knife though it may be blunt
And free myself from the chains of circumstance
Lose myself in a strangers kiss
And forget this world even exists
But girl I’m not here looking for romance
So shut up and dance
Hide inside the night from what the daylight lets us see
So for just one moment we can feel as though we’re free
I thought the lights on oxford street were put up just for me
But they blind you child until that’s all that you see
And now, I’m lit up with the kind of spark
That you can only see in the dark to really understand
Oh, don’t they hear my heart beating
Or feel the things I can
Lose my mind, let my heart hold sway
In revenge for the crack that widens every day
We all die here one step at a time
I’m alive right now and the night is mine
And I’m clutching tight as if it were my last chance
See my reflection in my drinking glass and smile
Take my heart off the leash and just let it run wild
I’ve got a gift for the world I keep hidden in my pants
So come up and dance
So happy in denial at the kind of life we lead
(We have) everything we want and nothing that we need
In a world that never sleeps there’s no one left to dream
This isn’t all there is it’s just the way it seems
Come up and dance, come up and dance
Come up and dance, come up and dance

Remorse (Sorry Baby)
It’s a shame to show myself to the door
I’ll admit this has all been fun
But there are some things in a man I’ve been looking for
And I’m it turns out you’re not the one
Sorry Baby
You could’ve been a tiger if you’d let yourself be
But you just wanted to be tamed
Now I’m the animal that wants to be set free
And honey, you’re the cage
Sorry baby
I took the keys to your car and away I sped
You slumped and the pillows just sagged
I meant what I said – you’re really good in bed
I need a lover who knows how to be bad
Sorry baby

Open Up
It’s got to be perfect says she
But life is ticking You’re not tricking me
Watching you in resentment and in awe
You’re still the same little girl as before
Open up your legs and heart to me
I’ll show you all you really need to see
The stars are looking fine
But you can watch them anytime
You should be laying down here beside me
I won you over didn’t I?
Won you fair and square
And between God and you and me
I’m the only one who cares
Open up your legs and heart to me
I need you right now
Open up your legs and heart to me
I need you right now
If there’s a door to the heavens
I’m sure your body is a key
Turn your eyes to the ground
Give in to me
You can pick up your prayers as soon as you leave
Show some beauty in this world and maybe I’ll believe it’s true
There’s someone watching over you
The way I am now
Open up your legs and heart to me
I need you right now
You’re all that is sacred here to me
I need you right now
Need you right now

Black Hay London, UK
Black Hay is the project of London-born Gideon K and a motley crew of
collaborators.
Previously described as "Worse than Leonard Cohen", Black Hay's music has gone from noirish garage rock, to grungey alt-country low-rock, via DIY house-bound balladry, to a current incarnation of cold-hearted post-punk indie synth-tronica.
The new single 'Always Be Mine' is out now.
