about

The first single from the debut solo album 'Close as a Slow Dance'

lyrics

I just wanted to hold hands with some young, strong GI
While I waited for myself to cry enough tears to float you back to me

Bring me another gin,
The air is stale and Autumn’s setting in and I’m still in love with him
And no-one wants to dance with me

If none of you are going to take me home
I may as well be carried out comatose cause I feel so numb inside
And all this pretty hair can’t hide that…
I’m still in love with you

And though the future’s knocking
And my love’s a futile offering
And though my body knows better than my heart
I don’t wanna let go and I don’t wanna fall apart
Someone distract me now

The band starts another dance
And rather than offer him another chance, I’m paid to make the people cry
And sing my heart out ’til the lights come up
The band is out the door
The waiter waltzes his broom around the floor but I’m still standing here
Feeling lonely as before, ’cause…
I’m still in love with you

And though the future’s knocking
And my love’s a futile offering
And though my body knows better than my heart
I don’t wanna let go and I don’t wanna fall apart
Someone distract me now

My heart’s a dirty little mutineer…

Wasp Summer Berlin, Germany

After five years in Berlin, Europe’s grimy,
sleepless City of Fun, Wasp Summer makes
rock that is both agitated and dreamlike, offering grinding bass and taut drums
with spare, spaced-out guitar and
adventurous voice. The songs talk about resilience
and breaking with the past. ... more
