lyrics
3am
Three a m, time gets stuck again,
Ticking turns to whispered words, tick, faith, tock, doubt
Turn the clock to face the wall, turn me inside out
Anything to stop this whisper becoming a shout
I know the dam won't break, I'm just waiting, just waiting
Three a m, dripping tap again,
Little drips of pain, bleeding me grey
Turning tight the tap turn tight the tourniquet
Anything to keep this flood from dragging me away
Yeah, I know the dam won't break, I'm just waiting, just waiting
Three a m, dark in the kitchen again,
Dull-edged knives inviting me to carve a little light
Knuckles white on the table's edge, riding out the night
Anything to keep me from deciding that I might
And I know the dam won't break, I'm just waiting, just waiting
Three a m, time gets stuck again,
Ticking turns to whispered words, tick, faith, tock, doubt
Turn the clock to face the wall, turn me inside out
Anything to stop this whisper becoming a shout
I know the dam won't break, I'm just waiting, just waiting
Three a m, dripping tap again,
Little drips of pain, bleeding me grey
Turning tight the tap turn tight the tourniquet
Anything to keep this flood from dragging me away
Yeah, I know the dam won't break, I'm just waiting, just waiting
Three a m, dark in the kitchen again,
Dull-edged knives inviting me to carve a little light
Knuckles white on the table's edge, riding out the night
Anything to keep me from deciding that I might
And I know the dam won't break, I'm just waiting, just waiting

about
DaylightSaving Canterbury, UK
Having been told they weren't 'pure jazz enough' by a UK radio station that shall remain nameless, Richard and Kate delight
in describing themselves as 'mongrel dogs of jazz-pop fusion and proud of it'. That half of their songs sound more like contemporary folk than either pop or jazz is neither here nor there.
DaylightSaving's sound combines elements of jazz, pop, folk and Latin.
Formed Nov 2008

DaylightSaving recommends:
-
The songs are softly sung, but pack a powerful emotional punch, such is the vocal skill demonstrated by this wonderful trio. We love Gavin's idiosyncratic guitar technique and they're all lovely folk.

We love the way Picturebox can write a song about anything and we admire their DIY approach to recording & production. Fun songs and a a very positive attitude to life. Get some!
