Fool For You 04:14
You walk in the door it swings wide You stumble over yourself and you break your stride Oh there's a bottle in your hand in a brown paper bag You're a dirtbag drunk and you're my man You came home so late last night honey Wouldn't tell me where you been spendin all my money Oh there's whiskey on your words that spiral down You're my woman and i'll keep you around I'll be there, in the mornin i'll be there Say you're prayers cos you're gonna need em When i come right back to you I'll be waiting this old heart will see the night through And i'm just a fool for you You'll be there down and out and born to lose Help me now i'm just a fool for you You think you can say those three and win me right back You slur your words and tiptoe like you're under attack Oh you pull up in your pickup truck as you begin to shout I'll pull on my boots so i can kick you out Well i'll leave the door unlocked so you know you can walk back in Like a broken record baby you're under my skin Well you can kick me round you can treat me like a dog The love i have for you is always strong

Hangin up above there's a weight over me Slowly swaying side to side Footsteps behind me a howl on the breeze Shot by a magnum in disguise Well let's go down to the place where it broke you in two Go down to the place that now haunts you Your name is engraved on the oak that once grew And the pain of the words that seem to misconstrue It goes on and on, take what you want Don't call my name Nowhere to hold on so turn and run Don't call my name The rope is thinning so very slowly Threads releasing one by one It all turns red you can't find the key In it's place you find a gun It cannot be seen what lurks in me I seethe at the thought of purest of beings So take what you want and take all of me

Lover 04:16
The lies you spin tangle me in Oh made me fall for your sin I aint someone to ignore, hurt me I'm wanting you more String me along lead the way Your hand is startin to fade All the while we stay the same The doubt you show i can't explain what i wanna know Old mistakes are the same Trapped in your arms I'm in this room I'll come back to you As i repair a means to an end I want a lover not another friend Won't you be my man Head in my hands If you're the one and only I'll be lonely again Under your spell under attack Weapons for words ricochet back Say you will i know that you wont Keep me around for hope Will i be worse will i be fine You aint worth a dime All the while we stay the same So save up all your lied It aint worth the fight I hold on for you at my door You got me by the wayside

I Lied 03:52
I try to sever ties but i'm crawling back You like never to hear with your head in the sand you cry The lights wont shine on me my spine tangled in sheets I hold the cards through the bars you don't see me I lied when i said it wasn't about you It's always about you I'm done as i slowly drown in the water poured down my throat You've won i hate you i wanna hurt you for you to know You've got a desolate mind pining for something real My arms grow weak pulling you from your wasted skin You're blind to the version of me I'll never mend Now broken I'll never repair i have all to bear it's the end

I met him in Portland strong tall and lean He asked for a fire and invited me in I followed the steps to his room Maybe this is all too soon He leaned in close his hand touched my cheek Now I'm moving to Portland next week I met him in Nashville drowning in gin A honky tonk man with a licence to sin I heard his boots tapping in time That dixie fried accent a crime He tipped his hat to me I drifted away I guess I'm moving to Nashville today Oh lord please i think I'm not well I aint goin home you aint alone i'm under your spell So tell me you'll be my man And this aint just an old one night stand I'm not sure of your name but i know i'll stay for you I met him in Dublin green eyes and black hair He pulled me a Guiness then he waved the fare His warm words had me up in arms I fell for those old Irish charms He said to me 'darlin how long are you here?' Well I'm moving to Dublin next year I met him in Glasgow in a dirty dive bar He poured out his heart as he strummed the guitar And i melted right into his hands Though words i could not understand He handed me whiskey and sang me a tune Now I'm moving to Glasgow in June Oh lord please i think I'm not well I aint goin home you aint alone i'm under your spell So tell me you'll be my man And this aint just an old one night stand I'm not sure of your name but i know i'll stay for you Maybe it's fate to leave my home town and start new And i'll be on a plane moving to Glasgow in June

Aviation 02:40
I've paid the slavers and I've whipped the lash In hot sugar cane fields I caught up with my past So i journeyed longer with my crown of thorns Than care to mention trade em in for a pair of horns So pretty darlin put that red dress on Pack up that purse cos we'll be out all night long It's called aviation, there's no demonstration Just take the occasion, take a leap into the strange Got weak in the knees, puked up in the sink Went home for a snooze, woke up in time for a drink Pretty darling put them high heels on Pack up that purse cause we'll be out all night long So get your aviation It's the new sensation But it just might cost you everything that you think you have Dog on the verandah, chooks in the backyards Seeds have been planted, winter's closing in from afar... Pretty darlin snuggle up in my arms Winters chill won't keep us still we'll keep it up All night long

about

The Sloe Ruin Adelaide, Australia

After travelling through dive bars across the USA, singer songwriter, Hana Brenecki found the inspiration behind the story that is, The Sloe Ruin.
The Sloe Ruin is a culmination of a couple cowgirls, a cowboy, a swing dancer and two jackaroos and their collective love of all things country. With six members (and counting) their sound blends that old country soul with some new country swag.
