about

Released on Ripperton's 2013 album "A Little Part of Shade". Very minimal, piano and voice recorded in my cellar. When I gave it to him to work on, I believed it was just a demo.

lyrics

Spike

Don’t drive a spike between us
And be a stranger to yourself
Try to change me for the better
Won’t make me a better man
And whatever you may be thinking
I’m doing the best I can.

Don’t push a thorn between us
And be a stranger to yourself
Whatever side you may be on
We’re tenants in our private hell
And whatever you may be thinking
I don’t wanna be someone else.

Don’t drive a spike between us
And be a stranger to yourself
We’ve got so many things in common
Won’t be saved by any bell
And whatever you may be thinking
I love you just as well.

For what it’s worth I love you
I love you, just like myself.
