Another Country Duet

from Doubt by SPANISH CASTLES- AKA James Summerfield

/

about

The new album, ’Doubt’ began one year prior to James’ son’s introduction to the world. However, things were far from straight forward, and this experience significantly impacted on the direction of the material. As things improved, although little Thomas Summerfield’s constant demand for affection/attention ultimately slowed the writing and recording process down, thinking time increased. “Much of the instrumentation for the album was written and recorded in my head whilst waiting for Thomas to eat, sleep and wriggle around. This made studio time very straight forward” James Summerfield.

lyrics

There's an art, to being socially awkward.
There's an art to being uninteresting.
There's an art, to having it your way.
There's an art, to just being me.

And if you don't like it, don't eat me alive.
Go find another friend who'll, see eye to eye.
Been picking bad apples, who used to hang on my tree.
Go rot in the orchard, or just leave me be.

You’re a leader of monkeys, a silverback bully.
But now that I've left the pack, I'm fine swinging from these trees.
You' may call me the runt, still I won't offer my hand.
Cos If my life's beach then you're one grain of sand
And I'm somewhere through the middle, somewhere through the middle, now I'm a little further from you..

So I'll keep on pretending,
That I like everyone.
But secretly I wish, they'd all leave me alone.
That's the thing about ageing,
No one’s important, they're just people you know.
And I'm somewhere through the middle, somewhere through the middle, now I'm a little further from you.
