    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

The title of a book of short stories by John Collier that I saw in a shop window and wrote down as a great H Bird title. An early demo features my little sister Meg singing. The BigSexyLand (John Doran/John Tatlock) club remix appears as the 'Fancy Cover' b-side.

lyrics

(I spy, with my little eye, something that begins with you)

C’mon now boy, you’ve never seen a girl like me before
Undercover, are you what I’ve been looking for?

Violet melodies, whisper ‘cross the floor
A glance I drink right in, then turn away for more
A marble Venus pose, awaits your two lips
Obscured by lustrous rose, and endearing nervous sips

C’mon now boy, you’ve never seen a girl like me before
Undercover, are you what I’ve been waiting for?

Breath of tangerine, on lips of peach
Soft and close now, good enough to eat
And eyes of saccharine, melt mine to gold
I hope you’re a good boy, and do what you’re told

C’mon now boy, you’ve never seen a girl like me before
Undercover, what has tonight in store?

Strawbr’y shadows slide, whirl across the room
Hearts beat so quick-quick-slow, movin’ into you
And all the stars align, to dance in your eyes
Then disappear so dreamily, to wish us goodnight

C’mon now boy, you’ve never seen a girl like me before
Undercover, are you what I’ve been waiting for?
