    I just found 15 cds of 'Operation Fascination'. These were used for the promo campaign in 2010 but knowing this was the only chance I was going to have to press a physical product, I went for a full-scale production. It's a lovely thing to behold. The cover art by Pippa Ashton incorporating Gemma Cossins' photo. The liner notes list a Myspace page, ha! Comes with a digital copy of the album. I will sign it if you want. Ships media mail in the U.S.

about

A medical term that referring to 'Pain from stimuli which are not normally painful'. My friend Becky had written about this on her online journal years ago and I had written the word down hoping to one day use it in a more poetic way. Kate used to announce it live as “the wrist-slashing song” but I think it has a positive ending, the narrator is leaving an abusive relationship.

lyrics

the clouds are here to stay
silver lines have faded now to cigarette-smoke grey
the embers light the day
silhouettes so statuesque obscuring their decay

these empty glasses sing
of naive toasts of yesteryear and all they failed to bring

there's nothing left to say
the stars we used to wish upon, i've wished them all away
the embers still ablaze
but hearts of ash so quickly fall and easily blow away

the empty bottles stand,
a testament to love grown old, precariously close at hand

the tears all slipped away
reflected as the rain slid past this shimmering disarray
the end blurs all the same
so hold me tight but wave goodbye i just can't bear to stay

the broken glass betrays
the utter meaninglessness of all there was to say
