So I packed up my life into the boot of your car
I must have driven for an hour or two before I hit the bar
It terrifies me how you used to love to get me down
I’m really sorry that I took your car, but I just had to get out of town
It wasn’t one specific thing you did, it wasn’t one specific thing that you said
But as we laid there on your bed, all the feelings that I hid came to surface in my head
And in your glove compartment, there’s nothing but old cassettes
I put one on and I heard this song that I wrote for you when we met
It mystifies me how I used to let you get me down
I’m so sorry that I took your car but babe, I just had to get out of town
It wasn’t one specific thing you did, it wasn’t one specific thing that you said
But as we laid there on your bed, all the feelings that I hid came to surface in my head
It mystifies me how I used to let you get me down
I’m so sorry that I took your car but babe, I just had to get out of town
It wasn’t one specific thing you did, it wasn’t one specific thing that you said
But as we laid there on your bed, all the feelings that I hid came to surface in my head
All the feelings that I hid, came to surface in my head.

Midland girl’s gone to the south
She’s painted up her eyes and her mouth
Oh, there she goes again
She’s drinking in cool bars with cool new friends
Midland girl’s gone to the south
She’s painted up her eyes and her mouth
Oh look, she trips again – my little comedienne
Midland girl’s gone to the south
Doors started to close, on the things she wanted most
And all the people said she froze. Who knows?
And sometimes, she thinks of way back when
When she was dancing in cool bars with cool new friends
Midland Girl’s gone to the south
'Cos Midland Girls go to the south.

Bethnal Green Blues

You can stay tonight, but if you stay tonight
You’re only gonna end up feeling used
Baby, I’m bad news
I’ve got the Bethnal Green Blues
I’m a counterfeit, I’m a selfish shit
Just walk away – or you’ll end up real confused
Baby, I’m bad news
I’ve got the Bethnal Green Blues
I can’t go on this way
The way you laughed tonight, when you left tonight
Well, it had that note he had, when he was drunken and amused
He laughed like that before he gave me the news
Gave me the Bethnal Green Blues
Gave me the Bethnal Green Blues.

Oh Josephine, the rain drives hard against the window screen
Oh Josephine, the rain drives hard against the window screen
And you should know, what you should show
She was so pretty and so green.
I always loved you, Jo, but I was thinking about the show – Josephine
Oh, Josephine, between the cat’s eyes and the clouds of green
Oh, Josephine, between the traffic and the cheap caffeine
And people go – when people go.
She was so pretty and so green.
I always loved you, Jo, but I was thinking about the show – Josephine
Down unknown roads, I face my foe
The wettest night we’d ever seen.
Far past the rain you’ll go, but we’ll be thinking about you, Jo.
Josephine.

Sugarcane London, UK
Sugarcane’s hybrid sound updates vintage samba and calypso for twenty-first century London. With one British parent and one from the Caribbean, it's not surprising Robin's music is a post-Colonial jumble. Acoustic backyard sambas meet French chansons. Bahian drumming melds with West Indian steel pan, an old drum machine, and a toy melodica. ... more
