ReservoirDroog Angel in my Pocket is the personal stand out track after a few listens.
I love the sixties feel to it.
On further listens my opinion could change as all four songs suit my tastes.
The guitar on Don't Dress Me Up is deliciously country twangtastic.
Looking forward to the studio album and future gigs.

HUMANS ARE A BAD BREED Oh oh oh It’s a crying shame It’s a shame for people They are possibly human A bad bad breed They pretend to be human But leave some creatures wondering A bad bad breed Don’t leave me lonely They say I carry the burden of life So lonely They say I wear the mask Of a bad bad breed It’s a shame for the others They are probably human too A bad bad breed They speak about stars And tripe So try to be strong A bad bad breed Don’t leave me lonely They say I carry the burden of life So lonely They say I wear the mask Of a bad bad breed Keep me and hold me this way Keep me from everything – all that they say Keep me from him Keep me from her Shame on their faces The pain and disgrace Deep in my heart Deep on my soul Deep in my, deep in my, deep in my bones I hope and I pray, I hope and I pray, I hope and I pray, I hope and I pray It’s a bad breed It’s a shame for people They are possibly human A bad bad breed They pretend to be human But leave some creatures wondering A bad bad breed Don’t leave me lonely They say I carry the burden of life So lonely They say I wear the mask Of a bad bad breed It’s a bad bad breed It’s a bad breed It’s a bad bad breed It’s a bad breed Don’t leave me lonely they say I carry the burden of life. (It’s a bad bad breed) The say it’s a crying shame I carry the burden of life (It’s a bad breed) Don’t leave me lonely they say I carry the burden of life. Don’t leave me lonely I think of you only Say it’s a crying shame It’s a bad bad breed

TAKE TO THE GRAVE WITH A BROKEN HEART I went down to the graveyard Just to ease my troubled mind I knelt down by the graveside And I hung my head and cried It’s too late to say I’m sorry The life I lived is just a lie There’s a black-eyed crow Sittin on the fence post Maybe I’ll see your sweet face in the by and by My weary heart will soon be gone That broken bird will soon have flown No one wants to know a soul so dark They may take me to the grave with a broken heart. If he was here on the earth In the flesh parked up right next to you In his dirty big old 18 wheeler truck Tellin you that he loves you To ease your troubled mind Takes you to the grave so peacefully Let me go with you To ease my guilt and shame I tried to give my loved ones the blame No one wants to know a soul so dark They may take me to the grave with a broken heart. If he was here on the earth In the flesh parked up right next to you In his dirty big old 18 wheeler truck Tellin you that he loves you To ease your troubled mind Takes you to the grave so peacefully Let me go with you To ease my guilt and shame I tried to give my loved ones the blame No one wants to know a soul so dark They may take me to the grave with a broken heart. Take me down to the river Take me down to the waters edge I will swim that raging river They may take me to the grave with a broken heart They may take me to the grave with the broken heart They may take me to the grave with a broken heart

ANGEL IN MY POCKET 13 angels came today And it cuts me up to see you this way Your trembling hand has cut me to the bone The stronger one is always alone But I got an angel in my pocket No one else can see that thing My one and only true petition Give me loving recognition And things you bring And little pretty one I know Not a soul to hold you close A wedding band is lost And all is gone The stronger one is on the floor all alone She’s got an angel in her pocket No one else can see that thing My one and only true petition Give her loving recognition And the peace that you bring Give me loving recognition And the little bit of love You bring Now that she’s older All the stories that she told Are a tale told by an idiot I know Six short stories of love is all she wrote I got an angel in my pocket I got an angel in my pocket I got an angel I got an angel I got an angel in my pocket I got an angel And the sweet things you bring

DON'T DRESS ME UP Long years And a bitter world Stand between Those glory days But you talk like you know me And you just love Those crazy ways I confess Those things You tell me Sound like a teenage Loving cup But I'm not that woman That you think so Don't dress me up I don't like that thing You wanna do I don't need those words You gotta say Every thing you do Gets in my way Oh baby You can't get it Any way you want it baby Don't dress me up I'll dress you down In a brand new car I'll ride you down You say words Like it’s something But there is nothing There for me You could turn around And see me I could be as sweet As I can be But you got your Face right in there Well it must have been a ball But I can't remember This or you At all I don't like the way You wanna walk I don't love the clothes You wanna wear We could be talkin straight on If you dare Oh baby You can't have it Every time you want it baby Don't dress me up I'll dress you down In a brand new car I'll ride you down Woah…… Don’t dress me up I tell you pretty little baby You gonna miss me baby You gonna miss me baby You gonna miss me baby You gonna miss me baby You gonna miss me baby You gonna drive me crazy Don't dress me up I'll dress you down In a brand new car I'll ride you down You gonna miss me baby You gonna miss me baby You gonna drive me crazy You gonna miss me baby You gonna miss me baby You gonna drive me crazy Woah….. Don't dress me up I tell you pretty little baby Don't dress me up

about

I think these four tracks show some of the range of The Countess of Fife and are a fine record of a fine live show at a FAB venue (MacArts in Galashiels). Most of all we wanted to give something to our followers in advance of a studio album -a little taster of what's to come and it would be great to get feedback - which of the four do you connect with? what would you like to see more of? Anyway - enjoy .... Fay x
