Once again I've worked with Gavin Day on the artwork for the hard copy of this record. It ls very beautiful. I also think this album is probably the first one of mine that would really do well be played in a car. In fact, in many ways the chief inspiration for the whole record was the 1995 compilation "Drive Time", which featured Steve Winwood, Warren Zevon, Cher, and The Beautiful South, and soundtracked most of my car journeys aged 6-10.

I was travelling through the borders, The wind was volleying the reeds
They moved like water through the rapids,They were scattering seeds
I broke down from the weight of it, Before we got to Galashiels
And I could see the clouds make patterns, casting shadows on the field
If I could just stop shaking
If I could just compose myself
Say it with me, say it with me, say it with me
If this is the apocalypse
At least we know the scale of it
Say it with me, say it with me, say it with me
If this is the apocalypse
At least we know the scale of it
You keep it mostly to yourself, I sometimes wonder if you should
Or are you preparing for the worst to come, stockpiling firewood,
I think in truth you must be just as worried as the rest of us
By the numbers climbing on on the dials, by the mercury in the bulb
If I could just stop shaking
If I could just compose myself
Say it with me, say it with me, say it with me
If this is the apocalypse
At least we know the scale of it
Say it with me, say it with me, say it with me
If this is the apocalypse
At least we know the scale of it
And preachers hand out pamphlets on the streets
Ask me if I’ve thought of God, tell me it’s not too late
I am waiting for this weather to explode,
The trucks are gridlocked on the road,
All heading for the coast,
I cannot stand the wait, I cannot stand the heat
Say it with me, say it with me, say it with me
If this is the apocalypse
At least we know the scale of it
Say it with me, say it with me, say it with me
If this is the apocalypse
At least we know the scale of it
