1.
Tonight’s neighbours are pretty loud / I wish we were being louder / I do believe we fell into the routine trap / We’ve got a way to go to get there // Queen bee stung me like a shot in the arm / Queen bee sprung a little surprise // You can face your demons or invite them in and show them around and let them fool around with your routine machine / Forever was never the problem //
2.
First time I hit that polka dot jackpot we slotted like puzzle pieces of some idyllic jigsaw scattered on the floor / Gold mine of all your smoking hot snapshots / From onslaught to sudden ceasefire / It seems I drew the short straw and won't be getting any more // And now you're somebody's plaything / Try and tell me it's the same and before you lose all faith in just how well you play this game // All lined up to find the key to that treasured chest and you’re leaving the bar in a taxi to reach, tussle and grasp for zip, buckle and clasp / You’ll find I can be quite a pleasant guest and I’ll leave you to stew on your actions and not contaminate the crime scene / Dunno where you’ve been // At close quarters we were something / Try and tell me it's the same and if you thought I had it coming it's just as well you'd fan the flames //
3.
You might not be everybody's cup of tea but you were sweet enough for me but we got tired of the crossed wires getting tangled // Like a fun house mirror you skewed my reflection and it turns out 'cause I checked that I'm not all that bad // I guess I've found I'm not where I ought to be / Sometimes we all find ourselves out of sync / Don't think I won't be back // And if I end up on the receiving end then I'm sure I'll come out on top / I won't blink / I won't sink to your level //
4.
Those butterflies haven't stretched their wings for a while / A forearm's leopard print bow comes untied and I guess we can't change our spots / Behavioural patterns extinguishing lanterns and here I am trying to join up the dots / The loosening of stitches not sewn for some time removes a finger's ornamental silver outline and that's the slipping of the safety knot / Engraved initials no longer official and the gates to memory lane are padlocked // You're the ghost on the settee / You're the devil in the details / You're the felling of the tree / You're the wind out of the sails / It doesn't matter what you're doing for you won't be this man's ruin // Touch screen transmissions postponed and sidelined / It's not easy to refrain from that pastime and as I'm trying to keep up the boycott you ask if you're deplorable / It's certainly plausible and I ought not to say so but no you're not // You're a hole in the head / You're the bend before the break / You're the space in the bed / You're the thud before the ache / It doesn't matter what you're doing for you won't be this man's ruin //

about

'Vol. 2' is the sequel to the debut EP by Hull band Let Man Loose, featuring four brand new songs.

Stinging opener 'Queen Bee' relives the trauma of being involuntarily snatched from familiar routine. 'At Close Quarters' is a melodic tale of an old flame's wanton escapades. The pounding 'Fun House Mirror' dismantles the insecurities built by subscribing to another's warped rhetoric, before closer 'This Man's Ruin' takes an articulate, retrospective and ultimately cleansing stroll along memory lane.

In memory of Dave Sinclair
