  • An album to exorcise chronic pain, mental anguish and fatigue.

    I'm trying to limit my negative impact on the environment, so I decided against releasing this project on cassette (plastic, yuck!), but I also don't like the idea of people spending their money on 1s and 0s, so each purchase of this digital album also includes:

    A unique, hand-painted A6 postcard on lightweight recycled Kraft card
    A handmade clay token
    A link to download the stem files* of each track on the album for remixing and sampling purposes
    Other random doodles, a personalised message + some handwritten lyrics

    All of these items are very much DIY and after the first batch runs out they will be made to order so delivery times may vary.

    *stem files are audio files of a whole song, split up into distinct musical elements. For example, the beat makes up one stem file, the guitar another, and so on. These stem files can then be used for remixing or sampling. Please let me know if you make anything with these stem files by emailing me at: mouthless@hotmail.co.uk

    Includes unlimited streaming of These Cold Hands Can't Heal Hot Shoulders via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.     ... more
    ships out within 5 days
    Purchasable with gift card

      £14 GBP or more

How It Sounds 01:28
lyrics
It's just how it sounds There's nothing to be found Stop your running 'round Get your feet on the ground It's just how it goes There's no need to know There's nowhere to go So just let it flow Grow your hair out like a fool Recycle me by the old oak tree Take care, stay strong, keep cool, stand still upon a hill It's just how it sounds Stop running 'round Get your feet on the ground You don't need to know How this one goes Just let it flow

lyrics
You smell cold You die in the summer and come back in the winter You look old Like a tree that's lost all of its splinters Ahhhahhh ohh, you've lost your spark Ahhhahhh ohh Dog got no bark You're like a pet with a boring name You're like a snake without a ladder to play your games You've lost you spark, you've lost your bark You smell cold, you look old Old old old old old Old Ahhhahhh ohh, you've lost your spark Ahhhahhh ohh Dog got no bark

Sertraline, will you be my best friend? Sertraline, will you help me pretend? That I'm not broken That I don't need fixing I've fooled around with your friends before Citalopram left me needing more But I'm not broken I don't need fixing

Forest Green 02:37
lyrics
Oh, forest green You set the scene You keep me serene And you leave me unseen I rest my eyes As I sit in between Soft golden mountains With fur at the seams Oh, forest green I forget what I mean Oh, forest green So easy to lean You guard the screen For my and my Queen I leave the scene To reset the machine Refill my canteen Collect mashed cocoa beans Oh, forest green Give me that sweet dopamine Oh, forest green Nicest place I've ever been Oh, forest green All regal and clean A poor, peasant pauper Is how I must seem You don't intervene With my sweet quarantine I'll take my daydream With caffeine and cream Oh, forest green Greenest that I've ever seen Oh, forest green Shoot me with your vaccine Oh, forest green You're on my team When I run out of steam When I split at the seams You're never mean Unclean or obscene You're my forest green

Withered 02:04
lyrics
Whooaaah I'm going down a hole again Soooo I need you to hold my soul again Obsession, possession, regression Nah, it's just a form of expression I'm training, gaming, you're blaming I'm not complaining, just explaining Oh, when it's time to hit it You know I'll be at the exit I'm withered Not with it Can't be more explicit I'm a creature of habit Without a habitat When it's time to grab it Won't you gimme some o' that? I shiver in the corner And then slither by You quiver out of boredom Then begin to cry I don't care about your point of you, Man, I don't even know what's the point of you? I'm not with it I'm not with it I'm not with it, I'm withered Your message can't be delivered

These Cold Hands Can't Heal Hot Shoulders 02:36
lyrics
I feel my heart Sinking lower I feel myself Growing older I feel these veins Flowing slower I know these cold hands can't heal hot shoulders Ah ah oh oh Ah-ah-ah oh oh Ah-ah-ah oh oh I know these cold hands can't heal hot shoulders I don't have the words No-no To make you feel more Than so-so There's no such thing as bad Your Gods make you sad And what you believe can drive you mad Ah ah oh oh Ah-ah-ah oh oh Ah-ah-ah oh oh I know these cold hands can't heal hot shoulders The weight of the world Is too much There's so much strain on these limbs It's too tough Don't make a sound Just sit there and frown I know that gravity can get you down Ah ah oh oh Ah-ah-ah oh oh Ah-ah-ah oh oh I know these cold hands can't heal hot shoulders I won't let my heart Sink lower As I feel myself Growing older I feel these veins Flowing slower I know these cold hands can't heal hot shoulders

Get by 02:03
lyrics
I get shy I get by I can't lie It's alright Don't get high But I get by Can't change my mind Sometimes We multiply We get by Try not to lie, it's alright If we change our minds We get by We crucify But it's alright I get shy, I get by I survive Yeah, it's alright I don't get high I don't need no lies With the end in sight With the end in sight With the end in sight I'll get by
