I'm gonna tell ya to take it hour for hour dont sympathize when you get to where you're going to you know you've got to take it make it all clear ahead dont let yourself go dont let yourself fly high just let yourself go cos I wont leave no I wont leave I'm diggin into ground shovelling away go stake my claim shovelling this way and that way and when the ground breaks you've got to shake it into flour for bread chorus- I'm not surprised there's no compromise to be had down here and be well up on the ground you know you have to make red go green chorus- you know you might hear the phone ringing you might see the carpet swimming feel your heartbeat quivering feel your handshake stiffening feel the lightning striking and the gellatine sparkling chorus-

Heartlands 03:12
Sitting on a chair pulled out from under my eyes Under a star I'm straining to see crash my party some day If there's not a-one to be seen falling through your stratosphere if not so young I would lie in grass til a star hits my street chaos floating down the worn out tributaries from the Heartlands Gimme a string, gimme me a line I'll fish the skies for the divine gimme a try, show me a good time spiders catching flies if not so young chorus- ..swamped in caravans

I've got a feeling the day's not over I think the night's just kicking in I want to open up so sit yourself down kick the locks and keep them rollin' in There's nothing to lose only time and what's that without spending it right I dont drive a car but I'm already half full stay with no exception stop your flight Dont be heavy Miss Stone by a fire you can warm up your bones Dont be heavy Miss Stone buy a light you can light up your home If you're going to take an early leave I wont watch I'll think I didn't see you Standing in the hall in the hazy mirror Like I never would have believed Dont be heavy Miss Stone by a fire you can warm up your bones Dont be heavy Miss Stone buy a light you can light up your home Come back to me from wherever you've roamed calling all the colours by their names I liked the one that you called purple Pure as the snow it left no trace Dont be heavy Miss Stone by a fire you can warm up your bones Dont be heavy Miss Stone buy a light you can light up your home

Cupidz Tune 04:56
7-11 is for me too! Though I work, I do so and so do you. the day is made up of yes and no and way past 2 I cant forget the alphabet it tells its own story well your on the tap of your tongue in a cold sweat - extraordinary thru your cupidz eye to eye your needle to thread your love get closer to her I'll have a shot of whatever you're having there's some noise coming from your heart I heard it from the start from where I had been cupidized put in this state of mind chorus - I'll have a shadow when she's gone I cant forget when we met in a bargain basement you sat on the counter wagging your feet lackadaisically thru your cupidz eyes chorus -

A girl in a bed so pretty Lying there and I'm lifted But we're in a hospital She told me she was getting better That doesn't matter She whispered in my ear But I did not hear her Until she left And had gone home It was too late for realizing Just doing a job on my time She offered me a sweet A girl in a bed so pretty I could be forgiven Could have been someone Who fell for that flashing smile Losing visiting hours For glazing the doctors glasses With wind-a-smile A girl in a bed so pretty. Lying there and I'm lifted Hey where do you live? Wouldn't say, then I knew It was the end of the rainbow It was too late for realising Just doing a job on my time A girl in a bed so pretty Lying there and I'm lifted Hey where do you live? Wouldn't say then I knew It was the end of the rainbow It was too late for realising Just doing a job on my time She offered me a sweet A girl lying under these sheets I could be forgiven . .

See Africa 04:22
the sun drops down over a table brought together and the old were able they knew just what to say and they were able to positive thinking got him down negative action thrown to one side see africa see asia minor do europe flee america I heard a man on the radio say you've got to listen to what he has to say blood water glistens the sun drops down it's grey with red spots going down today see africa see asia minor do europe flee america cos they don't want you

Crime 03:42
It might be untrue but you'd better believe in it It might not be said But you'd better listen closely It's a crime It might not be untrue but you'd better believe this is it It might be a shambles But what you see is my open hand and my open home Might be a broken home It's a crime At 10 revolutions a minute It's a crime time again Breeze in from the freezing cold Before your time Before you've grown old It's a crime, It's a crime again It's time, time again At 10 revolutions a minute.

about

"Slopey”, Hugh's first digital release in 2010 is an album of melodic and catchy songs showcasing a heart-worn, folk-soul voice, each track carefully hewn from granite-like dedication with trusty collaborator Jason Ellis. Recorded in August 1998 think edgy yet tonally rich vocal delivery akin to Ray Lamontagne or even Nick Drake, with Lou Reed provider of lyrical slant.

Operating across various songwriter genre Hugh has left plenty of room for a boot-stamp of originality, where styles have a pendulum effect from track to track whilst still retaining soulful identity. Examples of this are heard on the mali-esque playfulness of “See Africa”, the sheer classic byrdsy tone of “Cupidz tune” and the intense brooding on “Crime”
Slopey was recorded in Tunnel Studios North Dublin.
