about

The 'Raer, from The Woods' Debut EP 'The Start' out 28 August 2015.

lyrics

Been up all night & we're feeling it,
Feeling sick.
Morning comes & it's miserable, beautiful.
What a place
Stings your face.
& oh so raw
The folk fought
All night.
Don't care what you think
Just want a drink
Keep them coming.
Energy out to sea
Dreams land on the sand.
& so angry, swept away, to nothing, nothing.
Admit you want these people more.
You moved away but missed the roar.
In your face so careering
Oh land of poets get the beers in.
Morning comes & it's beautiful, beautiful.
