    Comes in a 6 panel gatefold case with original artwork by Lawrence Illsley. This album is personal and intimate, recorded in Lawrence's childhood home a year after his mother passed away. The booklet features an original long poem 'A hospital birch, Trewellard' written especially for the release of the album which tells of Lawrence's experience recording the album. The poem is inspired by the poems in his award winning collection A Brief History of Trees, where each piece tells the history of a particular tree alongside his journey through grief.

lyrics

Loss of innocence
inner-city’s entertainment
a lack of circumstance
circumnavigate the globe
can I have this dance?
asked the king in all his raiment
take the upper chance
and throw it away
along with your clothes

Psycho fighter
Silence denier
Raised on cut diamonds
Says a lot about your fibre bite

A somnambulist
cursed the sense of evolution
whilst from some science priest
comes a wave of new devotion
this little island is
all awash with old opinion
so count your calories
cause you’ll never
can’t digest them all

Psycho fighter
Silence denier
Raised on cut diamonds
Says a lot about overbite
Says a lot about your appetite
Say a lot about your freaky nights
Says a lot about the house that you call home
