(I Used to Work in a) Burger Restaurant
burger-restaurant.mp3
For the Fatty Arbuckle's lot.
Frank's Shop
franks-shop.mp3
For Frank & Joan, wherever they may be.
40 Days (Dirtbag Sessions)
40-days.mp3
The one that got away. 40 Days didn't make it on to Pipe Dreams & Bravado as we decided it didn't really fit anywhere. Here it is then, in all its glory.
Heroes Get Bullets (Ian Crow Sessions)
heroes-get-bullets.mp3
A really old song. And if we're honest, we don't really like it much anymore. It was recorded in the same sessions as Black Sambuca and Celluloid.
Chris's Bedroom Demos

Turn A Blind Eye (Demo)
turn-a-blind-eye-demo.mp3
Not a million miles from the version that appears on the album Pipe Dreams & Bravado. Well, other than Danny sings the album version, in tune. And all the instruments are real on the album version. And the album version is much better.
A Plan For Saturday (acoustic)
a-plan-for-satuday-acoustic.mp3
The original demo that Chris recorded in his front room, sometime around March 2006.
You Smoke Too Many Cigarettes (acoustic)
you-smoke-too-many-cigarettes-acoustic.mp3
Yup, it was originally a ballad, and then it got all rock'n'roll. Good tune, either way.
Celluloid (acoustic)
celluloid-acoustic.mp3
It's our "proper pop song", and this is how it first came to be.
Commuter Town Stories (acoustic)
commuter-town-stories-acoustic.mp3
One that got pretty much shelved after it was first written. Crazy Joe has persuaded Chris to play it a few times live though. It's amazing how effective alcohol bribes are.
The Pretty Girls in Prague
prague.mp3
Chris had a few broken guitar strings, so recorded the demo of The Pretty Girls in Prague with a drum machine and a synth. It's frankly bizarre.
