A Kind Of Premonition By OXLIP It was early in the morning as I lay A kind of premonition you could say I felt you slip away Gentle as a breeze in May Gentle as a breeeze in May Strong are the winds that blew your way Narrow are the creeks where children play Your roots are strong but the branches are fine You went your way I went mine You went your way I went mine

Someone That’s Close By By OXLIP Our love, our love, is real Our love, You’re in the next room You’re someone that’s close by Speak, speak my love, I’ll listen Speak, speak my love, I feel you You’re someone that’s close by You’re someone that’s close by You’re someone that’s close by We’ll wait, we’ll wait for you, on the other side We’ll wait, we’ll wait, till the end of time You’re someone that’s close by You’re someone that’s close by You’re someone that’s close by

Serpentine By OXLIP You’re in my bed, a stain on my sheets Caked on the face lookin at me Deep sunken eyes and hollowed out cheeks I hang my head and admit my defeat You’re soft to touch and sweet is your song Your scent lingers on after you’ve gone But the rules are clear your message is strong You are the queen and I am your pawn Fruit on the trees and fruit on the vine But there ain’t no fruit and there sure ain’t no wine I’m sleepin on sofas for you, Serpentine I’ve tried to get out of this time after time I’ve gotta get out of this terrible bind I know if I don’t you’re gonna find Your clandestine way back into my mind Fruit on the trees and fruit on the vine But there ain’t no fruit and there sure ain’t no wine I beg for mercy from you, Serpentine

I’ve Cried All The Tears (I’m Cryin’ For You) by OXLIP I’ve cried all the tears I’m cryin for you I’m leaving behind All the loving I do Got to get back the truth Some peace of mind Gotta let go of you And remember what’s mine I’ve cried and I’ve cried I’ve cried over you But I’m not gonna cry No more over you And the worst of it all Is believing the lies Time after Time Going out of my mind I’ve cried and I’ve cried I’ve cried over you But I’m not gonna cry No more over you Little birds need to fly And the bee’s ask them “Why?” I’ve packed my bags I’m saying Goodbye I’ve cried and I’ve cried I’ve cried over you But I’m not gonna cry No more over you

about

"I woke up one morning with a distinct feeling that someone close to me was passing over. I could feel their energy was moving into the next realm. It was like a kind of premonition- and so the song came to life.

"..I felt you slip away, gentle as a breeze in May, gentle as a breeze in May.."

The song's are quite stripped back and have an 'other-world' quality. I wanted the vocals to feel like I was whispering in your ear, like your inner voice or a faint prayer. They are about death, addiction and the metaphysical, except the song I've Cried All The Tears (I'm Cryin' For You), which feels like a ballad Patsy Cline would have sang..."
Jayne Trimble (OXLIP)
