TrackListing

- Girl With Two Names (Acoustic)
- Boeotia
Total Length: 16:38
Notes:
- Originally recorded during a week off work in November 2005. The plan was to write and record 4 songs in a week.
- Three of the four songs were finished. The fourth song was scrapped as E was asked to join the band.
- Apotemnophila, is based on the documentary I watched once on a relatively disturbing topic. Look it up on google.
- Break The Casino was written, by E and Red Star Radio guitarist Guy Lawson.
- Break The Casino started life as a demo, E and Guy asked Chris to record for Red Star Radio, prior to the bands relocation away from Shropshire.
- Girl With Two Names, was the first song Rollasoc wrote as the Hair Thieves in 2000 / 2001. (Though he had recorded Baited Breath previously as the Hair Thieves, that was written when he was at uni, in a band called Shallow.)
- Boeotia is greek. Just liked the name. The aim was to write a song with no guitars in.
Apotemnophilia

Music / Lyrics C Rollason
You always had a sense of balance
A certain uneasy grace
been missing the kindness that's been long overdue
I wanna be just like you
I felt like this from childhood
an alien ape displayed
been searching for someone
to take away the part of me
thats not a part of me
so take me to a dark and tranquil place
take away the thing that make me plain
this thing that I find so distasteful
and turn me into something beautiful
I've progressed so far so soon
don't want to pretend no more
Drastic times mean drastic measures
so I can be just like you
I've tried conventional options
a new way for mad they say
I've calculated the risks v gains
so a shot rings out that long overdue
You always had a sense of balance
A certain awkward grace
I'm shown the kindness that's been long overdue
Now I'm just like you
Break The Casino
Music / Lyrics G Lawton, I Packman
Life is a gamble (with an) even chance at best
Keep watching the dealer , ignore the rest
Lift your eyes, the skies are golden
Stakes are high, I'm close to folding
I need to know the cards your holding out for
Poker face, eyes as cold as ice
Double or quits, with loaded dice
You'll be a hero if you break the casino
(but) they won't let you bet on double zero
You'll be a hero if you save the bus fare home
Girl With Two Names (Acoustic)
Music / Lyrics C Rollason
The springtime rays across your face
That first time glimpse of you
I'll never be the same again
My girl friend's an hundred miles away
I know I should think of her
but I think of you some more each day
You are a paradox of beauty
Your are the girl with two names.
Lost my heart, but made me feel guilty
You are TGW2N
Never liked who you used to be
Changed your name to be set free
You are TGW2N
October rain it sings your praise,
Naked on your front room floor
I'll never be the same again
My best friends girl for just one week
Been going through all my friends
Just like another STD
You are a paradox of beauty
Your are the girl with two names.
Stole my heart, but made me feel guilty
You are TGW2N
Never liked who you used to be
Changed your name to be set free
You are TGW2N
The winter chills show in your gaze
that last time glimpse of you
I'll never be the same again
My girl friends gone and you've moved on
guilty conscience, tainting me
Tell me, where did my life go so wrong
You are a paradox of beauty
Your are the girl with two names.
Broke my heart, but made me feel guilty
You are TGW2N
Never liked who you used to be
Changed your name to be set free
You are TGW2N
