about

"Angels was only the 2nd song we’d ever written” notes Gemma. “Nursing hangovers on a Saturday morning we shared our saddest stories and came up with the opening line “I’m never going back”; from there the song wrote itself.”

lyrics

I’m never going back
I had enough of this and that
her beauty was a gift and curse
She split the red into the black

roll the dice
roll the dice
to stay alive
her snake eyes see my heart of stone
she cuts off all her hair
she escaped her lonely island
my medusa she ain't gonna die alone

Have you ever have you ever been to hell and back
I don’t think so
Have you ever seen the angels when they turn their backs
It’s the Coldest wind that blows
When Angels turn to stone

up to the table with my stack
to get this monkey off my sweat soaked back
double down but the game is fixed
it only itches when I scratch

roll the dice
roll the dice
to stay alive
her snake eyes see my heart of stone
she cuts off all her hair
she escaped her lonely island
my medusa she ain't gonna die alone

Have you ever have you ever been to hell and back
I don’t think so
Have you ever seen the angels when they turn their backs
It’s the Coldest wind that blows
When Angels turn to stone

Don’t seek help from the god you don’t believe in
Don’t feed the devil when he’s begging and he’s pleading

Have you ever have you ever been to hell and back
I don’t think so
Have you ever seen the angels when they turn their backs
It’s the Coldest wind that blows
When Angels turn to stone

Writing songs remotely (Alfie lives in Austria) they recently racked up more than 20,000 plays in just two weeks on their first collaboration for Gemma's solo project (single ‘Stop’ was released in August).

‘two’ are going to find a way of combining both projects in the future. ... more
