about

"Nothing Holy - it's pure indie pop commerciality... but it was originally written in a dark funk style when Chris and I were using drum machines through a guitar amp, after Neal had moved on. It sounded great in the tiny rehearsal room we used at Magnet, Nottingham...

"Once we'd recruited new drummer Tim Smith, the song took a different turn in style and was debuted at the Duchess in York." (Simon York, Jan 2024)

lyrics

It’s so hot tonight but there’s no cooling down.
It’s so hot tonight and I want you around.
Covers clinging to me from the sweat on the backs of my knees,
I hold on to you - you give me what I need.

Something’s coming - nothing holy, but you know it’s true.

Don’t fight tonight - it’s gonna happen anyway.
You don’t have the right to turn my needs away.
I’ve got what you asked for - let’s commit to this trade.
It’s so right tonight - you give me what I need.

Something’s coming - nothing holy, but you know it’s true.
She’s full of beauty but she’s no lady and she won’t lie to you…

Something’s coming - nothing holy, but you know it’s true.
