She Deserved It: a scrap of memoir, set on the Hammersmith & City Line
Autobiographical jewels of mine hang from that pink ribbon as it ambles across the city. Think of them as coloured lightbulbs strung along frayed electric flex over a market stall; a long twist of Chinese lanterns glowing in the dusk; damp-stained gems of coloured diamanté dangling at intervals from a cheap foxed chain. A rosary of things that happened. The stations of the King’s Cross to Hammersmith stretch.
Think of London lying naked by the river, wearing everything that is inflicted on her. Decorated, damaged, ignited, weighted, chained, wounded, loved, undermined, traversed, surviving . . .

Vinyl Fans: Get the CD Bonus Track
Those of you who buy the vinyl of You Left Early, hit us up on the Contact page for a download voucher for Love Ain’t Listening, the CD’s bonus track. It is only not on the vinyl because there was not physical room enough for it. As we couldn’t fit all the tracks on, we decided to leave off the happy one, and leave the album 100 percent emotionally sad. But here we are now giving you a second chance at happiness. We don’t want you to miss out.
