I could feel you leaving I could feel me leaving too Now it's oh so quiet Now it's oh so quiet I can almost hear you breath I'm holding still But i'm holding still I could feel the earth moving I could feel you moving through a crowd You're lost in a crowd You're on edges But I'm holding still I'm holding still But I'm holding still And when you break I'm breaking with you I'm holding still I'm holding still I'm holding still You're lost in crowd I'm holding still

Yellowhead 03:48
Will you materialise Before me today Hours seem like lifetimes My blood feels thin Maybe you can fill me To my core So I no longer Feel this crevasse Between breastbone And vertebrae How could I go on For so long Without touching my truth Maybe you can fill me To my core So I no longer feel this crevasse Between breastbone and vertebrae

Hold me down here underwater Hold me down here I breathe more freely here underwater I breathe more freely here This ship is casting an anchor he said Her waters are safer, calmer I thought we both were hooked, line and sinking Hooked, line and sinking Hooked, line And sinking And sinking

Cut 03:19
When the sun comes The moon goes When the moon goes The sun comes Sometimes cutting Circulation Sometimes my words Too thin for purpose To contain this Would turn To poison When the sun comes The moon goes When the moon goes The sun comes The grit The teeth Denture When the sun comes The moon goes When the moon goes The sun comes I feel it I feel I feel it all I feel it all I feel it all To contain this would turn to poison

Coma 02:55
Me and my magical existence You and your love intertwined In the threads of my hair In the needles of porcupine My sweetest apple pie iIm all dumplings and fat With ecstasy and you in my belly I swim and never tire Coma has my lovers heart Coma had him right from the start I'm a present of god Undo me someone I'm all strings and barbed wire Undo me someone Coma has my lovers heart Coma had him right from the start Has anyone seen my love Has anyone seen my heart Has anyone seen him

Tightness 06:08
He hush me down He blow my brow Silence gathers ‘round Hush now hush now Just hold tighter He hush me down He blow my brow Silence gathers ‘round I've always been A child who beguiles you I spin a tale about you I spin a tale about you To you I do bind And hell can't find us here Your freckled skin I know what constellation you're in boy I know what constellation you're in To you I do bind And hell can't find us here Your eyes are blue You've got blue eyes You've got green hair You've got blue eyes I see god there Oh I see god there In your tightness I am found In your tightness I am bound In your tightness I am found In your tightness I am bound

Oxygen Boy 03:21
Oxygen boy Oxygen boy Tanked and on my back You ride Your mouth Gets me high Free basing ethers again Tripping over her love strings Every cell feels love I'm breathing again I'm pulsing again Comes on like like smacking your mouth again mine Hard core Pornographic In your movements Oxygen boy Oxygen boy
8.
Marmalade 01:24
Come take some life out of me I need to wear down I'm strung out on a clothes line Hung up on you I'm hung up and slightly misconstrued I'm washing and wearing Torn at my seams I need to get my body close to you Maybe like a favourite shirt Come wear me thin Wear my bones to breaking I'm constantly in sin Constantly Sometimes too much I feel too much Some times too little I feel small and equal But today in my unhemmed dress Will you notice The creases where your body lay And a little stain of marmalade

The Wait 01:31
Can't wait to see you I can't wait Can't wait to see you I can't wait But you got your new love I know this now You got your new love I know this now I'm going out of my fuckin' brain Waiting for you I'm going out of my fuckin' brain Waiting for you 'Cause you got your new love And I've got mine Yes you've got your new love And yes i've got mine Such sad fucking When you know you're losing For a taste of love For a taste of love
11.
Caught out I'm caught red handed Bloodied fingernails They're at my neck again Lover kill this fear in me I fear there's no-one hear but me An angel cuts her wing To bring on deeper things An angel cuts her wing To bring on deeper things Traffic breathes Like a demented lover And i'm running still I fear i am the hunted I hear the sirens And i wonder if it's me who has died An angel cuts her wing To bring on deeper things An angel cuts her wing To bring on deeper things
12.
10 Smiles 03:25
Everything broken Glued to your big marching shoes My heart Ballooning Somewhere safer Maybe sunstroked Maybe love chocked Teething pains Knock me down again Now I am ten Now I am ten smiles Now I am ten smiles from happiness Fly blown and swollen We've left it for too long now We're still avoiding what could be god send Now I am ten Now I am ten smiles Now I am ten smiles from happiness

about

Long out of print and now collectable, 'Urchin' was Inga Liljestrom's very first LP, recorded back in 1998. Featuring the gorgeous tracks 'Coma' and 'Marmalade' - which early fans will remember doing the rounds as remixes by a young Friendly and Ali Omar (Atone) respectively - it also features an early version of 'The Drowning Song' which Inga has been performing live again in recent years often accompanied by a toy piano. 12 tracks that will pull you in "hook line and sinker", plus a remix of 'Coma' by Bob Scott. In 2010, Urchin was released through Dadada records, but with additional track Thistle featuring Stu Hunter, on accordion, a collaboration with Will Fazer (Baggsmen/ The Hive (You Shine) and remixes by Ali Omar (Marmalade) and Groovescooter remix of Awkward Like A Boy.
