From Robyn on Patreon in 2023
We yearn to be vulnerable but who can we trust, when it comes to revealing our core? Can we even afford to be open to ourselves? Sometimes distance is a gift that you want to share with as many people as possible. Hey, you’ve got to hide yourself away.

The Devil is known to have all the best jokes, and he gives you the comfort of doom. He might be a more fun dinner guest than the Saints and the Apostles, though he’s notorious for his cutlery requirements. Generally one of his people will contact you first, if he plans to invite himself around to your place, asking how long your spoons might be. Who among us has never been texted by a fiend?

If life is a cartoon, does it matter if you are Mickey Mouse or the demon Azmodeus? We are such stuff as dreams are made on, with thick black inky outlines and garish sound-effects. Rock on, people!

Recorded at Stwdio Penty, Cardiff, by Charlie Francis, who also played the bass.

RH - voices and guitars.

Produced by the Lady Petrol Brothers by arrangement with the Brothers Thud.
