lyrics

Turning up,
In the middle of the night,
My hair is wet,
My hands are tied,

And I am only half a person,
Now that you are gone,
And I deal with it so quietly

I cry over the smallest thing,
Right about now,
Choking up as I sing,

And I’m living a secret life,
Living a secret life,
Behind this door,
Where nobody knows my mind.

(Or where I hide)

Slicing into the middle of my arm,
My blade is sharp,
My skin so warm,
And I am only half a person,
Now that you are gone,
And I deal with it so quietly.

I cry over the smallest thing,
Right about now,
Choking up as I sing,

And I’m living a secret life,
Living a secret life,
Behind this door,
Where nobody knows that i’m living,
A secret life,
Living a secret life,
Behind this door,
Where nobody knows,

Who I am,
Or what I’m going through and I’m living,
A secret life,
Living a secret life,
Behind this door,
Where nobody knows my mind.

Jay Stansfield Lancashire

Original, affecting and a tad bonkers, Jay Stansfield has charmed us with his inventive approach to songwriting.

An artist with an eccentric songcraft, wrapped up in a 60s pop sheen.

He has steadily built a bank of great songs and some amazing videos - in his fiercely independent fashion.

Jay is also fronts British postpunk band ALL HAIL HYENA who can be found here on Bandcamp. ... more
