Labours of Love's debut single, released Aug 2014.
E.P to follow

lyrics

I've no strategy to sell you something you don't need
And I've got better things to do than get down on my knees and plead..
Don't expect great Herculean shows of strength and pride
The greatest men are just ink and paper and crumble in the light...

This is no sacred, song from from above
It's an invitation to love
No smoke and mirrors, could ever be enough...
Just an invitation to love

Let me stand on nothing, but my own, base pride
No promises to bind you, no secrets left to hide...
I can't offer more than the sum of all my parts
So don't expect some monumentally, transcendent work of art...

You don't want some tormented poet, trapped in purgatory...
And you don't need some kind of saviour with a tongue of poisoned honey
