A silly song about the media. I don't really think all that stuff...
Self Fulfilling Prophecy
About being really miserable and knowing it.
If You Were Back In My Life
About wanting someone back but knowing it wouldn't work.
Old Cliché
Psychedelic power ballad.

Boyfriend
Ever got off with someone with a boyfriend? This acoustic punk stormer is for you.
Prozac Honeymoon
You will probably need Prozac after listening to this sad song.
You're Just Being Lazy Now
When your friend is selflessly devoting him or herself to someone who treats them like crap, it's time for tough love. Another jingly jangly up-tempo song.
You Will Suffer
This is actually a love song, in spite of the title.

London Tonight
Slow and sombre number about the frustrations of the never-ending rat-race in London.
And I Never See You
Folk-balladry about a relationship on the verge of ending.
Catherine
Cheery little number about a lady who's got me all "in a spin". Just me and a guitar, this one.
Watered Down
Edgy, up-tempo number in which a woman tells me about the best sex she's ever had. Parental advisory - explicit lyrics.
Stop Waiting
Trippy song about when you know it's already over, you're just waiting for someone to say it. I like the dubby bassline in the middle.
You And I Are Too Far Apart
This one's about many things, with a slight campfire feel.
I Just Don't Want You To Know
It's "Why did you leave me???" time as Ae-Mess goes all piano.
Ae-Jam
An instrumental jam with lots of acoustic guitars in it.

Stop Waiting (Remix)
An instrumental remix of the track "Stop Waiting".
Song about how there's nothing on TV, but it's a bit out of date now that everything's on-demand and it's easier to avoid all those tedious shows you hate...
They say "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". I extrapolated this into "If it's quite short and both the verses are the same, don't finish it". Et voila.
When Minidisc was the new cutting-edge thing I became obsessed with the relative quality of recordings you could make walking around with one. Previously such things had been confined to DAT-owning freaks. Anyway I came home with a load of birdsong samples and away the jamming went. Highly therapeutic.
