T.I.N.G.H 02:23
If you were a god then I'd believe you but I dont know how I got here And this fog has got me breathless There Is No Greatness round Here If you were a god god help you suck the life from you Pump my arm give me your strength I need it There Is No Greatness Here
2.
Hey dont you speak I'll take an educated guess that you cant sleep I can see it in your eyes You're weighing up some kind of comprimise Ever blessed combination's influenced Sends those in fear away screaming All of these things are drugs to me yeah Circle one flashes at you sparkles some We let them away others get the chance to land and stay Keeps coming I'm caught and You're falling Lets just keep breathing All of these things are drugs to me yeah Dont you see that its never easy For all of these reasons there's no answers I will be breathing it in for hour's
3.
This one is a loaded gun with a liver that can tell the time and lights festooned in the living room you might believe in parts that tell the way its the latest is the greatest is Its hotter than it ever was and the way its going I'm not surprised it leaks and cracks peaks and flags and people aren't so gratifying that a boy he knows you know he reads your thoughts, he reads a lot And looking this way defeat fills the creeks in your eyes funny you should say You were the last sinner in the class but you shoud have learned your lesson fast You were the last sinner in the class but now you know you had to crash and it might have been so simple and not a device Is this the everlasting and its not my voice that you hear laughing Need strength like the bees Stand united, falling prouder Way to go, will you ever know will you ever get beneath these dark clouds Trying to be diplomatic its not the first time its been got at open wide and eat it like a pig Working on an unknown title bursting balls or something viral
4.
My brain hurts and all this smoke is stinging in my eyes I can barely function Where did you get that it looks pretty good it must be new and its not bad if its second hand Well can you reach and reach out And both sides yearned to give but learned to take away A healthy source expand some More like a new breed of thirty somethings, somethings not right Apologies for the last ten years I wouldn't hold you back Think its easy Even the saints can get it wrong It takes more than the little things that meant so much before were their values ever justified Eat and breathe and sleep and laugh and love but not with you I never meant to Give me your fears to burn Well there's this one, dont mention Even the saints can get it wrong
5.
Crawl you must be able to crawl float in the ether until you fall they've talked you down Rise challenge the words to find hope that they listen in time cos in time they'll call Has anybody here Blanked out the sun Here here is an X and the spot there is your prize but its locked this must mean something Theres a thousand faces hiding places waiting to become saints and angels to flicker and to burn But bloody blurred temptation brings a taste I cant remove So eat it up or feed it to the birds

Recoil 03:11
Well thats blues and love in the country air Kindled fires what the hell I dont care living outside is the life for some Back home the news and the city car crave some wood its my old guitar this radio song, just reminds me of you Because I know we're fools We'll act a fine performance just like we've always had to Well break mine I can get some more in bring it down here it comes again part of the plan is the thinking up Yeah sure this message is loud and clear its not cold when I got my I. W. to decide Recoil and fill a void Recoil and sell yourself short this is the furthest you can go Its pure and its under my nose and its been here a long time, a long time you know Its here its in front of my eyes its been highlighted big black lines about the size of this globe
7.
This prelude's my friend gonna stick with it to the end give me breeze blow these candles, around here and breathe a breath, applause response These brackets are here just to symbolise my window a value an abstract, these readings are far by far the blackest ones 79 electroshock treatments treat this feel this Its taken this time just to get in your mind no reaction no reason, no feeling no god damn way to take the strain These brackets are here just to symbolise my window af value an abstract, these readings are still by far the blackest ones
8.
Here she comes she'll try to break it crafted but careless She'll come undone by the poison I left there and I was young my jet was flying right through the sun I circled once before I came to life and caught it there Calm radiate powerful charm from millions of comforting arms feeling the healing coming Here she comes crawling aimless and fighting patience insepia there's no real colours there to meet this am I still young my jet is out there seeking solace so bring it on I'm waiting can you get there
9.
I have chairs that angels go to sleep in I have prayers that no one else believes in and kerosene is blowing into your eyes the chestnut sky is bleeding And when you cover up your tracks you'll hear the fire within your heart Swear I wont break this into pieces Prepare for what lies beneath this and only now this distance has become like my guiding star that leads me I'll ask my stars and friends for a melody burst my brains think up an apology I'm with this all night travelling economy I've been inside too long
10.
Please amend the plans for me Pull us from the sand, and these twisted vines safely Split the pain in two there's rings and cares to lose but little hearts shine through There's sea's of fear alive all summer holding in their mouths the streams that suffer Those desert island songs will gather dust upon but little hearts shine through And what belongs to you will all be with me too this journey's killed the crew but little hearts shine through I hope our little hearts can shine through

about

"On first listen to their album, “Millions of Comforting Arms” Singleskin prove that if you write great songs, people will listen. They write passionate, uplifting tunes, where less means more. In the tradition of Sparklehorse, Teenage Fanclub & Neil Young(some of their influences), Singleskin know what it takes to rock, but they also have the ability to slow things down and make everything magic"


"Singleskin offer finely crafted melodic rock which a few years ago might have been seen as one pop duck in a massive AM drivetime pool. Now, however, it sounds vibrant. They lump a big fistful of tune in your face in a finely winsome style. All the influences are there: Big Star, dEUS, Sparklehorse and James Taylor, to name a few, with a dash of modern Americana thrown in for good measure."


“Singleskin definitely look the part, with singer Paul Dunning’s amiable charm inviting comparisons to a more masculine version of Fran Healy. And they have a tune for any occasion - sun-kissed summer anthems nestle surprisingly comfortably alongside fuzzy, bedraggled rockers like Crack This Decorum.

Elsewhere, Dunning’s songwriting is so sharp and breezy in its seeming effortlessness that Recoil’s chorus of "na-na-na-na-na-doo-doo" makes perfect sense in the end.”
