About The Songs

Nursery Rhymes ( Julia Parker )

This is one of the most incredible songs I'd ever heard, written by one of the most incredible women I have ever met. My spirit sister. I loved it from the first note, and since she produced the album, I had to put it on (otherwise she would have made my voice sound shit!)

Sleep Now ( Sean Ikin )

Endings don't have to be dramatic (says me – the most theatrical person in the universe). This song is about calm resolution.

Honeymoon in Vegas ( Sean Ikin )

Basically justifying the one night stand with a few chords and backing vocals. I've always believed that the intensity of a relationship shouldn't be summarised or judged by the length of it, but by the quality. Even if it is one night!

Mama Cried ( Sean Ikin )

It's about this shitty bitch I despise. She did my head in and tried to take advantage of me. Cow. Anyway, I vented with this one. I'm letting it go (as if – I want something big to fall on her head).

Walking Home ( Sean Ikin )

This is about those moments in life, when you have to go. You have to stand up and walk away because you have nothing left to give. Nothing. Your about a millimetre away from coming undone.

Look Away ( Sean Ikin )

If I had any sense I would actually look away a lot more, but I'm addicted to satisfying my intrigue. It's pretty self explanatory. I lose the plot a lot more than I should and can't seem to bring myself back to the control panel – wherever the hell that is!!

Next Train ( Sean Ikin )

Calm resolution again. Sometimes I do things because I should, and not because I want to. I think most of us know what our potential is, but I'm so sick of wankers preaching at me to reach it. Shut up. I'll get there when I'm ready you fuckers.

What Does That Mean ( Sean Ikin )

I'm not really a ‘lovey-dovey' kind of guy, but I'm right into finding happiness and I have some people in my life who make me absolutely, splendiferously happy. This is for them. I have to believe that people are fundamentally good - and that I can be their friend. He he he.

Spark To A Fire ( Sean Ikin )

This is about that excellent person who wrote Nursery Rhymes – Julz. This is my version of events passed. She drinks orange juice with her rum, so her version is usually a little bit different to my ginger ale one. I love her more than I love anything in this life.

In This Skin ( Sean Ikin )

I want to be everything and everyone. I am possible the most gullible, cliché-indulging loser in the whole world. But I'm stuck with this!! Its not that bad, but I want more – NOW DADDY, NOW!

Games Like These ( Sean Ikin )

I wrote this about someone I was once seeing. I didn't know how to break it off, or even step back, and consequently, gave the impression that I was really interested. I hated myself – I was a scaredy cat. So I wrote a song to myself about how it must have felt. Honesty is so so so important, and I hate myself for lying.
