I don't know anything- I don't know wrong from right I don't know how to swim and I don't know how to fight and I don't know if I will be here in the morning and I close my eyes every time that fear appears in hope that when I open them I will have disappeared and some call me a coward. But It doesn't matter what people think of you As long as you've got a good record to fall asleep to I want to fall asleep with.... I want to fall. With you... I don't know anything - I don't know wrong from right I don't know how to sing and I don't know how to write and I don't know how to dance or at least I won't if you don't give me a chance... Give me a chance to dance. Now I've tried everything to prove myself to you but now I'm all out of ideas and I don't know what to do....

I swear I saw the clock move backwards I can't stay awake in here Just want to get out to the city Find myself, divulge in my fear but you know last time was the worst time I swear cause you know what we found out there... "Can I stay with you forever?" "Of course you can, get a key cut to fit my heart & you and my heart will go quite far" Eight and a half hours left before we leave God! I can't stand it anymore Just want to get out to the city Do it all just like we did before I know it's just another night without you here To tell the truth my love that's my biggest fear... It's getting too warm in this place.

Cameo 05:05
I miss the lights, I miss that scene where just like heaven plays I’m stuck here fighting this feeling of dark dismay So please give me your time I can’t spend anymore of mine alone And if our life was a film I’d drive to you in the dark of the night And I’d hold you in my arms And tell you, you and me are gonna be alright I miss your smile and this place makes me miss it a whole lot worse My heads in two worlds but it knows that you got there first So please give me the lead role Or am I destined to cameo? And if our life was a film I’d drive to you in the dark of the night And I’d hold you in my arms And tell you, you and me are gonna be alright And if our life was a film, who would play me? (I’m just a cameo in your life)

Come with Me 04:57
We get up early, we stay up late We mess around even though we know our fate And we’d stay out all night if they’d only let us We’ll stay out all night cause they’ll never get us Drowning in headaches Slow down for the cars sake You’re chasing all the street lights We’ll make it in no time And we wanna live like this forever We lose each other in the night We drink so much we lose all sight of it And we’d stay out all night if they’d only let us We’ll stay out all night cause they’ll never get us Your face drowned out in the lights I hope we make it through the night You’re dancing with strangers But still you can’t see the danger of it all And we wanna live like this forever A-B-C It’s easy as 1-2-3 At the A-B-C Come with me

Play needle in the hay one more time before we leave And when we leave I hope I’m leaving with you And under confusing lights we dance and talk and sing and know That we don’t have much else to do How about waiting on you? Wait just a minute now! Stop dancing in a circle I wanna get out I wanna get home to you She said please take off your coat Unless you’re planning on leaving us quite soon I cant take of my coat! The lights will melt my bones So I’ll sit back have a little drink Sit back and forget how to think Wait just a minute now! Stop dancing in a circle I wanna get out I wanna get home to you Another light, hits me in the eyes and it Throws of my thoughts You’re not who you think you are in this place Here you’re Lost in space

Ammawitch 03:54
Stand back watch her dance into the night But don’t make a move cause you know that’s not the right thing to do Its not you And it never will be And I’m pulling apart the voices in my head I’m falling apart tonight after what she said And I’m falling down before the words she speaks Please just let me be Please just let me be Thoughts like this they spark up in my mind But don’t look for an answer cause you wont find one But I know its in there somewhere far below the oceans floor Now I watch her come towards the door There's broken glass everywhere but still I want more And I’m pulling apart the voices in my head I’m falling apart tonight after what she said And I’m falling down before the words she speaks Please just let me be Please just let me be Now I’m pulling apart the voices in my head

Stripes 03:24
Everybody needs someone they can call there own And you’re welcome almost everywhere But you still don’t have a home So I’ll keep staring at the ceiling And that girl who looks like love And force down an another drink And here come the tears They tend not to explain And here comes the fear Its trying to mask my pain Now there’s stars strewn across the floor They must have fallen from the sky And they’re not the only ones who fell for someone tonight (cause I fell for you) And in the corner of the bed against the wall He’s just waiting for your call Just waiting for your call And here comes the fear It tends to not explain And here comes the fear Trying to mask my pain Better step it up a gear To keep up with your twisted games Just because you’ve got long blonde hair Doesn’t give you a pass to fame Now there’s a girl in stripes Walking off into the lights She tends not to explain She tends not to have a name

The Lights 05:20
He’s up to all his usual tricks, you know the ones that never seem to stick The poet and the artist oh what a match made in heaven But oh what a shame he’s messed it up again There he goes off in the distance Staring at an empty sky Waiting for the fireworks to come Yeah he’s staring at an empty sky Waiting for the fireworks to come But they aint coming tonight Now he’s cutting shapes Well trying his best to anyway And now he’s reciting lines out of time, Out of touch and out of his mind On anything that he can find And I don’t know if its anger jealousy or spite But watching you dance with him it just don’t feel quite right And now he’s Staring at an empty sky Waiting for the fireworks to come Yeah he’s staring at an empty sky Waiting for the fireworks to come But they aint coming tonight

One More Day 04:01
(If I could have just one more day) If I could have just one more day I know exactly what I’d say I’d tell you that I loved you and I need you by my side I’d tell you that I loved everything you did And I didn’t want you to die And If I had just one more day I know exactly what I’d do I’d hug you tell my arms fell off you’d stick them back with super glue I’d listen to your stories and believe every word Even though most of them aint true But I love you So I’ll believe everything you say Andif I had just one more Day I know exactly what songs I would play I’d play everything you wanna hear I’d play Springsteen, Loudon, we’ll bring the cheer And I’ll even go get you a beer I’ll do what you say But I know we don’t need one more day Cause I know that we’ll be together again one day
11.
The train moves slowly out of the city But that means nothing to me To me it’s just another step away from you And I know we used to laugh at a good friend of ours When he said he lived for moments like this But its true! We really do And my friends tread softly over the morning But that means nothing to me To me its just another step through your stomping ground Where I was lost but now I’m found And I know we used to laugh at a good friend of ours When he said he lived for moments like this But its true! We really do What you said last night?! Was it true??! Did you mean it?! Of course I did.

about

This album was written and recorded over the past few years, mainly between October 2009-June 2010

Some songs more recent than others, but all add up together to tell
a specific story. Conceptual but not like Bat outta Hell or that. Its simple;
I wake up, I go to work, I go to Glasgow, I party, I fall in love,
I lose everyone, I get food, I complain about death, I come home happy.

This is my life,
but mainly based on my summer last year.
It was nice.

All the music was written & recorded by Kyle Wood. (me)
He also played all the instruments, although Barry Carty
Played drums on track 3 (Cameo)
And occasionally theres some spoken samples
featuring Barry Carty & Chrissy Meehan.
The album was also mixed and mastered to the best of his efforts
using my lo-fi nonsense by the wonderful Craig McConnell.
Cheers!

Major thanks to all my friends
They know who they are
To the original party girls
And anyone else who saw me drunk last summer
I’d also like to thank musical folk
Who’ve been nice to me… again; they know who they are

Some Nice things folk said about the album;

"As a whole, the album flows really well, with some subtle, fleeting Amusement Parks On Fire-esque flashes and one or two complete shifts in style like the brilliant, synthy, instrumental Subway, peppered in amongst the stripped back, acoustic, awkwardly-beautiful lo-fi that's the staple of this very impressive album." Scottish music blogger David Kowalskiy


"He’s a prolific one so it seems disingenuous to refer to Beyond Glasgow Howls as a debut, however it is his first properly mixed and mastered release. Saying that you’ll be pleased to hear there isn’t much gloss or polish here, which means that there’s nothing to distract from the powerfully lyrical songwriting. This is a wee heartbreaker of a record and I love it." Blogger lady Lisa- Marie "Last Years Girl" Ferla

about

Lovers Turn to Monsters Glasgow, UK

Lovers Turn to Monsters is a long pale man, slowly falling into middle age.

He wishes he could be one of those guys who tours all the time, but he likes baths far too much. So instead he stays in his room and makes lengthy albums of emotive lo-fi nonsense. ... more
