Fulfill 04:10
lyrics
buy track
I’ll give you what you want tonight, Take it or leave it. Your body has to haunt its right To get back some feeling. But, how can I fulfill What wasn’t there to begin with? Oh, I’ll sell my soul. Sell my soul, And then what’s next? Something isn’t right here. No.

Dance On 03:36
lyrics
buy track
You dance on by Brush by my side It’s only life You feel alright Smile You numbed your mind So row the tide You’re looking Wild Something’s on the floor Unfolding like a flower You better pick her up To make the wilting stop Another bleeding heart Disillusioned child But her body’s moving In time

This is the Hand 03:45
lyrics

This is the hand That strips, and builds, and colors, and plays. This is the hand That cleans the day. This one Moves, and believes, and sways. This shuts the book, When he’s home again.

Miss January 03:44
lyrics
buy track
Ooh I’ll get pretty, Ooh I’ll get skinny, Then I’ll be something to see. Because, ooh the wall Ooh is all I can get to listen to me. January… Thank you Miss January. Jack of all Queen of none Come and pile it on What I’m doing wrong. Another year is gone. If I don’t know what I want, How can I get it? This white sky I can barley see. Is this happening? Stuck in disbelief. Looking back I see… Nothing. Ooh I’ll get dollars. Ooh I’ll get colors To look like I’m something unique. Ooh I’ll take lessons. Ooh I’ll take sessions To be something better than me.

Nothing 04:27
lyrics
buy track
Looking up, Little Darling rubs his eyes. Oh God… Sees dandelions, advertised, Pictures of blue skies. Oh God… Everyday, Darling rides the trains And his mother uses him as a cardboard sign. Oh God… And I say Nothing Do Nothing. My shift is done Serving ladies in white gloves. Oh God… The pockets stuffed, Of my waiter’s tux. Oh God… Back on the street, Count 29 asleep: People on the steps of St. Francis. Oh God… And I say Nothing Do Nothing. Home in bed, Drifting off again, Oh God… Eyes opened, By noises overhead. Oh God… Banging Screaming At 3 AM. You couldn’t imagine The awful things That he says. Oh God… And I say

Shock Value 03:37
lyrics
buy track
These days Shock value Is more than what it’s worth, More than what it’s worth. Craved fame For dinner, didn’t you? To be followed by your crew, Plastered on the news. If it’s what I have to do, I’ll do it. I’ll do it. Does that make it right? Do you know? Can you tell me? If it’s part of the feeling, Bending the meaning: Desperation is art. How can I survive In a world that won’t love me, As much as I need? We’re all crazy. We’re all one. These days I’ll show you What you want me to be. I’ll give you anything. Crave fame Forever Every second needs a show, Always playing spectacles. If it’s where I have to go, I’ll do it. I’ll do it.

about

Again, Little Grey Girlfriend proves to be creating well-crafted material, without being boxed in by the imaginary boundaries of current musical genres. Green-Wood takes band leaders Erika Lloyd and Brad Whiteley back to their electronic beginnings, with detailed drum programming and layers of digital sound. It is also noticeably more rock oriented with the addition of guitarist, Cameron Mizell, and the switch from acoustic to synth bass. Erika Lloyd’s powerful vocals demonstrate even further her signature range of flexibility and style. In “Nothing” she is at her most natural and vulnerable sound, putting all tricks aside to sing from her heart.

Instead of using fantasy to escape inequality, unrequited love, and suffering, the lyrics are more direct in expressing these observations and living within them. Green-Wood is named after the well-known Brooklyn cemetery Erika and Brad look out on from their bedroom window. Not that this album is about death, it is more about acknowledging the truth of one’s situation, whether in acceptance and appreciation or in a fight for change.
