3 am Its 3 am and your not home Gonna pack my bags I’m gone You'll see my destination written in a magazine Its 3 am rains coming down Got the water on the ground Beneath my feet as I walk calmly out of town Its 3 am the stars are out I hear the taxi drivers shout I check my phone, I got my keys and a little cash The streets are cold and Im so alone My head is heavy, I’m a little stoned I leave with nothing but my soul and some dignity ch Heaven take me you’ll never break me Heaven take me Heaven take me you’ll never break me Heaven take me Had the good times and you threw them all away You just don’t even care Times a wasting but times a fool I’m never going back, never going back there Its 3 am and your not home Gonna pack my bags I’m gone You'll see my destination written in a magazine Its 3 am and your not home Heard my message on he phone That’s the last time you you’ll hear from me ch Heaven take me you’ll never break me Heaven take me Heaven take me you’ll never break me Heaven take me Heaven, heaven, heaven a little bit of heaven Heaven, heaven, heaven a little bit of heaven It’s 3 am an no ones home ©NickTann

How do you sleep All on my own the long drive home is all I get the tight lipped smile but all the while I know the truth the teary eye the long goodbye I yearn to stay the whispered word you never heard not now not then how do you sleep how do you sleep at night don’t you know that I’m the one who loves you how do you sleep it makes me weep at the thought of you watching while my heart breaks how do you sleep how do you sleep at night don’t you know that I’m the one who loves you how do you sleep it makes me weep at the thought of you watching while my heart breaks it’s come to this the painful kiss the best I get the passion strong it lingers on it lingers on the wound so deep but it will keep I wear it well a loving touch but not as such it makes me die how do you sleep how do you sleep at night don’t you know that I’m the one who loves you how do you sleep it makes me weep at the thought of you watching while my heart breaks how do you sleep how do you sleep at night don’t you know that I’m the one who loves you how do you sleep it makes me weep at the thought of you watching while my heart breaks ©Nick Tann

about

Back in July 2009 I was chatting with my good friend and mentor Matt Stevens when I mentioned that I had an idea to make a proper vinyl record. Matt agreed this was a pretty cool idea and suggested I asked people to prepay for the album to make it affordable.

So The Vinyl Project was born.

In 2011, thanks to a generous donation by the amazing Mike Taylor and a happy band of others, I had made enough to go into the studio and to record the album. So on the afternoon of 4th March 2011, 18 months later, I and a few friends Drew Harris, The Real Raj, Justin & Jamie Wayne, Matt Stevens and my wife Debs all turned up at the wonderful Livingstone studios in North London and I recorded this album. It was all recorded live in the studio by the fantastic Kevin Feazey who did a marvellous job not only on the day but also later when he mastered the album.

So fast forward to 2012, the pre payments have been coming in dribs and drabs, I could see that it was going to take years until I would have enough to press the proper vinyl that the name of the project suggests so I made a decision. I would produce the Vinyl Project as a Vinyl CD and here it is.

It’s not the vinyl that I had been dreaming of but it is still an album that I am very proud of.

THE PHYSICAL VERSION OF THIS ALBUM HAS NOW SOLD OUT.

You can still download the album on a pay what you want basis.

Thanks
