lyrics

So much needs
to be done
It’s hard to know
where to start
Many people say
I want this to happen
But they’re not thinking
About the bigger picture
They get really personal

I know some people
who are UKIP
You try not to let it
Affect your friendship
But you’re like
“Why do you think like this”
If you’re slagging off people
I don’t think it does you
Any justice at all

Politics should be
compulsory in schools,
it’s what we’re living
And we need to know about it
The amount of people
Who didn’t even know how to vote

I don’t think money is the answer
A lot of pledges for more money
But no action

Vote for me because of this,
this and this
It’s hard to keep those pledges
Once in government

I prefer honesty than being
bold and strong
It’s about changing the way
we educate objectively
It’s my first time voting
which is a relief

allsorts

This is real drama in song. Mike's highly inventive piano frames Kate's effortless attention to detail. Highlight: You Leave Me Breathless - perhaps the most achingly passionate rendition on record. Billie Bottle

Zopp

supported by 25 fans who also own “My First Time Voting”

The new live EP by Ryan W. Stevenson's project reminded me, that this debut album must have been gone down the wishlist... If instrumental Canterbury stuff is your thing, this should be a no-brainer. Firmly rooted in the past (late 60s, 70s), nevertheless with a fresh sound. Guests incude The Tangent's Andy Tillison and Soft Machine's Theo Travis. Carsten Pieper
