INAUGURAL NIGHT

Thanks to all who came to the inaugural Cut Hands clubnight in Edinburgh last night - was a really enjoyable night for us and hope everyone also enjoyed the experience. Next one is planned for September, date to be confirmed shortly.

CUT HANDS HAS THE SOLUTION : VERSE 1

HEY, KNUCKLE-NICKS
I'LL TELL YOU:
IT'S HELPING
I'LL TELL YOU:
YOU'RE DOING THE RIGHT THING
I CAN SEE YOU'RE USED
AND I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU'VE BEEN
BUT I DO KNOW PAST FAILURES STILL HAUNT YOU
THOUGHTLESS SLOW REMARKS YOU LATER REGRET
IT'S HARD TO OWN UP AND TAKE THE BLAME
FOR BEING A NERVOUS GIBBERING WRECK
SO GO ON BE A CARELESS FUCKING ONLOOKER
SO YOU CAN SIT AND NOT-THINK ABOUT PAIN
I KNOW ABOUT GASPING ATTACKS AND MIRROR-BLOOD
I KNOW ABOUT SHITBAGS AND SHAME
I KNOW A FUCKLOAD MORE THAN YOU REALISE
A FUCK OF A LOT MORE THAN YOU THINK
I KNOW WHY YOU CAN TAKE A KISS
BUT NOT A BONE-COUNT HUG
I KNOW YOU BITE YOUR FAT BANANA FINGERNAILS
AND I KNOW WHY YOU'D NEED TO SHAVE
I KNOW YOU'RE A SLOW FUSSY PATHETIC EATER
AND I KNOW YOU DON'T SLEEP MUCH
BUT I'LL STILL TELL YOU:
IT'S HELPING
AND I'LL STILL TELL YOU:
YOU'RE DOING THE RIGHT THING.
