1600 Mexico 03:44
"It took you six months just to learn to use the telephone Well, baby, what am I to do..? Now I'm not lonely any more 'cos all the cowboys in this city Walk like you - God knows they do..."
2.
"Choose your words carefully They mean the world to me."
3.
"An unmade bed An empty room The break of day A long walk home..."
4.
Chasing Amy 05:06
"On the Munich telegraph We both went off the tracks And now I'll never fund the army I'd need to win you back..."
5.
"She said to me: 'You are the Prince of Denmark Street And while you're very dear to me You will never be King.'"
6.
"Early in October, I ran into your neighbour Said she was sorry that I didn't call these days And the silent commiseration of your sentimental milkman Was a comfort, then, in oh-so-many ways..."

Friends 03:43
"You left in his German car With a headache and a broken heart And tears on your face..."

Loverat 04:37
"She looked so vicious in those photographs From the sick years back at school I was lost inside her narrative I tried to find out who her lovers were She said she never got much sleep In a succession of her girlfriends' single beds But that was something that I loved about her Her taste of coffee and her narcoleptic eyes..."

"All the things you'd said and done It could have been the end But a sympathetic magistrate is every girl's best friend And so we drank to freedom For fourteen hours or more I smoked forty Bensons And was sick upon the dance floor..."
12.
"Sam, my heart is breaking You stepped off the train Sam, my heart is breaking You took my breath away..."

about

July 2023:

The last of the pre-'Sophie' recordings to be given a (very) light remastering (just sorting some issues with the levels between songs, really...); end-to-end, it should play a little more ear-pleasingly now.

Am still trying to get hold of the original multitrack recordings, so that a root-and-branch remix of some of the songs can be done... still something of a long-term project, alas. Hey-ho.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

September 2019 (regarding the June 2001-completed recording):

The album which was due to be released on the US Sandcastle label... before it folded. D'oh..! Shelved ever since. More consistent, we reckon, than 'Brave New Girl' - although the odd dicey mix, here and there. The original recordings have been lost, alas, so a much yearned-for remix is forever off the cards.

Please, please - feel no obligation to pay anything for this - it's here more as a museum piece than anything else - although feel free to send over an email if you'd like to. And look out for some new Chickpea Darlings recordings in the near future.
