Eight 8 Track Demos

by six by seven

supported by

Stuart Haynes What a beautiful album - forget the “demos” in the title, these are heartfelt, fully formed songs. Stop Hurting Yourself in brilliant. With echoes of “Love and Peace and Sympathy” this is a personal and sensitive collection of songs, Chris really laying his soul bare. Highly recommended 👍

1.	Float Song 04:26	lyrics	buy track
Sometimes I'm sure I didn't live my life In the right way Well I'm sure we all got A little bit of that going on Yeah did learn to break the rules And I learned to lose some friends I got closer to reality than you I got closer to beauty And told you What I needed to do And I dare you this time Your voice Your eyes Your hands Your lips Your silence Touched my words When you return And all the while We remained unchained Softly spoken Like a whisper in the breeze And floating away You floated away...
2.	Stop Hurting Yourself 03:36	lyrics	buy track
Yeah you know I've seen it all before Freedom running scared You said switch off Stop scaring us Stop polluting your mind There is so much light ahead There is no need for hate Stop hurting yourself We can find a more gentle way A gentle way of life There is so much light ahead There is no need for hate Stop hurting yourself
3.	Inside Your World 06:08	lyrics	buy track
It's hard to imagine anything Existing outside of you Goodbye old friend Your greatest ambition was To make it to the end There's too much to say about What you've done for us It's hard to imagine anything Existing outside of you Always love and essential Goodbye old friend Your greatest ambition was To make it to the end We danced from side to side In pairs of three Smoking cigarettes and Spewing random quotes From modern books you liked Everything was vague inside your world
4.	Spit Out The Pills 03:54	lyrics	buy track
I'm watching this film again There's always a tortured soul or two Whose lost out on life And can't make it through Yeah I'm watching this film again I ain't watched it since Christ knows when There's always a tortured soul or two Whose lost out on life And can't make it through Are you digging your own hole again Yeah there's always a tortured soul or two Whose lost out on life And can't make it through So take a break And spit out the pills
5.	Game Play 04:27	lyrics	buy track
Speak easily in front of me Tell me everything I'm listening to you I won't shut you out I won't turn your thoughts away You can open And spill it out to me My hands are wide and long My vision sharp My arms are strong My eyes can see What you want me to see And I will always always be What you want me to be There's so much singing at first light There's nothing stirring in the dead of night Just you and me talking shite We're rock and roll and believe we're right No one else can live our dream It's all too short and very long it seems You open up, you keep it in We too and fro We're up and down We roll back over and start again There's nothing to this game (we can play, it's honest though)
6.	The Energy That Was You 03:38	lyrics	buy track
Yeah I read it in the news that you were nobody now Yeah I used to hear about you from time to time But now the energy that was you is gone You gouge my eyes as I bit my lip We wasted so much time not getting down to it And the air where you have been is heavy as lead Falling from your dream But now the energy that was you is gone You can't make sense of you So why should I There's only time left For you to disguise What you really pretend to be But now the energy that was you is gone Gone for good this time
7.	The Elevated Plain 04:01	lyrics	buy track
They caught you red handed Breaking into another mans head A golden shot Straight through the heart again No one looks at you twice these days No one takes you down anymore And I can smell the air Of a brand new house in town A brand new you
8.	I Don't Need You To Talk 03:54	lyrics	buy track
I'm lying here with your bullet in my arm And I'm breathing like a man out of breath And I'm wondering about the situation now That brought you in front of me somehow I don't need you to talk (x2) I ain't framing you But you set me up It's what you do When you're on the lose I don't need you to talk
