    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.

lyrics

I’ve bought too many houseplants for the size of my house
And I don’t know where they should go
Which ones should face north, which ones should face south
Which ones will die when the wind comes to blow
I’ve bought compost and pesticide, cheap secateurs
Some gloves and some Miracle-Gro
I’m making a go of this
Having a go

I can’t thread a needle, I can’t draw a straight line
I don’t know where buttons should go
But I bought myself a sewing class, Wednesdays 6-9
Though progress is bound to be slow
But I’ll practice my stitches, I’ll bind up my samples
And then, one day I will know
I’m making a go of this
Having a go

On the road to the river there’s a club near the station
Where the terminally hopeful can go
Where girls with tattoos in the shape of a nightmare
Will take your arm and they’ll tell you all that they know
They are archers from Russia, with great reputations
They know all about shooting and all about sin
And I know a girl who goes down there to learn
From these Robin Hoods by the Premier Inn
She’s new at this, amateur, seen too many shows
But she’s fixing an arrow to the notch of her bow
Making a go of this,
Having a go

I’ve never known a ghost before, you’ve never been one too
We don’t know how this will go
But we are all doing our best to make something work
Though you’re haunting us left and right, high and low
With houseplants and needles and tautly strung bows
Making a go of this
Having a go
