Due to an incredible lack of time this one has taken me a little while to finish. I wrote the lyrics a week or 2 ago & the rest has evolved little by little. The drums are drumjam, the vocal & ukes going through the mbr effects into the 008. Ther's is a animoog track & a theremin (thumbjam) from my phone. The bass track I did in my car, yesterday morning before my gig, not my first bass track in the car but it really made me want a U-bass!!!

Space
I've lost my space
I've got no space
My only place in my
skin
I'm built right in
It seems quite slim
I'm not convinced it's

Flattering
I'm battling
My selfishness
It's not flattering
I'm battling
My selfishness

Time
I'm all out of time
the only time I have
is Reserved just for
you
You're my priority
And you is Plural
You contains no I or me
It's not

Because the Hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely

I love these little emotional snapshots from you Brother, great lyrics and excellent production particularly given the confined of a car, I can imagine recording in the confines of a car in the Florida heat. Mind you, if I was doing that in the UK, I'd be battling the icicles on the end of my guitars, and trying to play with frozen fingers :-) Around 1:40, being in the car, I was a little concerned that you were getting pulled over by the police  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Great tune brother.
