about

'Possessive' is the second single from my forthcoming sophomore EP.

With it's big chorus and energetic swung riff, I had a lot of fun leaning into some different influences with this song. You're definitely going to hear a little Deep Purple and Uriah Heep in this one!

I was thrilled to be joined once again for the ambidextrous Moyano El Buffalo on drums, also Danny Young and Thomas Rickerby, who leant their talents to the numerous gang vocal sections throughout the track.

lyrics

One punch
Flick of the wrist
Two punch
Down in a ditch
Tryin’ to claw my way back out
But you keep pushing me down

I know
This isn’t right
You know
You got me tight
Wrapped around your little finger
Yeah you’re spinnin’ me round

I just can’t take it any more
Now I’m runnin’ for the door
Oh oh oh oh!
Oh oh oh oh!
What makes you so obsessive?
Should have seen it from the start
Now your noose is round my heart
Oh oh oh oh!
Oh oh oh oh!
You’re so possessive

Hey!

One day
This could be love
Next day
Death from above
It’s another run for cover
Still you’re pushing me down

Get out
Fight to survive
Who will
Get out alive?
Got you watchin’ every move
Yeah you’re lockin’ me down

No last cigarette
No I won’t forget
See my silhouette
Baby, bye bye bye!

I’ve got to say

I just can’t take it any more
See me runnin’ for the door
Oh oh oh oh!
Oh oh oh oh!
Should have seen it from the start
Now your noose is round my heart
Oh oh oh oh!
Oh oh oh oh!

In the end I blame myself
I built the walls that made my cell
Now they’re crumbling away

I just can’t take it any more
See me runnin’ out that door
Oh oh oh oh!
Oh oh oh oh!
What makes you so obsessive?

Now it’s time to change the track
I’m gettin’ out, not turnin’ back
Oh oh oh oh!
Oh oh oh oh!
You’re so possessive

Hey!
