[Werd] Alright go, Where'd did the love go? (Oh) This could be our little love song I done wrong, so now when the loves gone This could be my song to feel sorry Or pick myself up and say don't worry Old story, girl love guy Guy lies, he makes her cry Girl tries, he lets love die Then she's gone, and he see's why Why, we hate who we love Because it blocks out what occurs When you love so much need hate to purge When we stop loving what you can't have [Kasabian] What do we become Trying to kill each other? You're faking it son Gonna get you tonight I suck another breath To the hearts of the Revolution 'Cos it still ain't right Where did all the love go? I don't know, I don't know [I bet you can't see it] Where did all the love go? I don't know, I don't know [I bet you can't see it] [Werd] SOS, Auld Reekie, Ok go, Ok back again my foot taps like the heartbeat can't pretend That it beats for you and the love you send Though love dried up, my love wont end Love, what a funny word Sounds so absurd when placed with wurd, Werd, heard, I'm not good enough But I'll still try I'm a stupid one Hun, run all that you want Because me getting you that's not the point It's me being true let thoughts anoint So I can let it out, get it all now? How does it feel when the feelings gone And ice on your heart just starts to form Do you live with the fact you did wrong Or notice any rose, all has thorns (yeah) I'm a prick for that (yeah) What I did in the past (heard) You done moved on fast So I've some nerve for doing these tracks (well) I'll say it once I was one (uh) And all the above Truth is mate, can't handle love [Kasabian] The rivers on the pavement Are flowing now with blood The children of the future Are drowning in the flood Where did all the love go? Now I don't know why I don't know why [Werd] Aw you know my heid is spinning Never to heid to the ways of sinning Wasn't that good at guitar or singing So the best a'l ever do. You. [x3] Listen, the black, black rose EP Released on Sons of Scotland SOS My name’s Drew Devine (Werd). [Kasabian] In this social chaos There's violence in the air Gotta keep your wits about you Be careful not to stare Oh-oh-oh-oh

Madness 04:38
[Werd] His names Werd and his heads in a pickle Maybe heard him a lil he's been fickle since little He's been writing out raps compensate for the brittle And escape all he hates so that they can be invisible His own principles fate sticks with him still Dismissive of his lyrics after written being literal Sorry he's away with it It’s her that made him do it with A touch of frustration and waiting on a change n shit Aw it f*cking takes the piss - I am just half that Half pissed half cut with a joint half sparked I try and keep control... [Werd] You need me just bringing that speech You need Auld Reekie patter with a rapper on beats You need real music mate you don't see on TV You need to say hidden thoughts so we can achieve Turn on your radio Nah f*ck it - Turn it off Fear is your only God on the radio But here I got aiming for the top But not cause I want it cause really it's all I got I’ve been living since 11 n listened to hip-hop My prescription for decisions that’s sinning and what knots Now I’m bringing to fruition volition and new thoughts Just listen my decision is taking what I want You fakers can tag on the building I build strong The foundation that I laid when played my first song When I found my home, When some kind of madness... [Werd] I think you need honesty Right now, I think I lost you mate As I write like rappers aint supposed to do Though it’s tight get none, monastery I feel like that their picking on me Like a puppet off strings just fell before ye Guitar weeps, for a gentle nobody Never feel at home, vagabond, same old story But you changed me How I feel lately Crazy, it’s like...

Imagine the only girl you ever loved, got married yesterday, And you watched your whole existence as it starts to fade away, Now if time is of the essence, and its all about the present, Then why wont my past just go away? And it’s not for a girl, a certain one, for everyone and anyone, Who watched their beating heart just fade to grey.

[Werd] I guess it’s that time again Had a little too much wine again Phoned you and I cant pretend That a didn't say a that Now we only friends (F*ck) I'm the only one to blame though That's me with my f*cked up ego So now we see other people And now I compare them to you See what I've lost its come back to haunt me There's no way I could ever say sorry What I've done, there's no taking back See something else broke, when I broke you're heart [Elizabeth Currie] And who do you think you are Running 'round leaving scars Collecting your jar of hearts And tearing love apart You're gonna catch a cold From the ice inside your soul So don't come back for me Who do you think you are [Werd] Is it better to have love and lost, Than to have never had no love at all? And if you can, you fooled me its true I scarred myself, when I scarred you And I know, I know that I'm wrong Me and you could have went so strong So a guess that I wrote this song Just to say that I miss you [Elizabeth Currie] I've learned to live half alive And now you want me one more time And who do you think you are Running 'round leaving scars Collecting your jar of hearts And tearing love apart You're gonna catch a cold From the ice inside your soul So don't come back for me Who do you think you are [Werd] Listen, this is not a song that is easy when writing Nor taken lightly when getting on the mic and Letting you hear what's inside what I'm finding Day in, day out, such a struggle no pride in Hiding or fighting or lying, self doubt So here's an example of letting it out For some kind of closure, to see what is next So you can throw a stone, but I use it to step Move on with a passion for rapping you know But it’s also distraction from feeling so low (I'm solo) [Elizabeth Currie] And who do you think you are Running 'round leaving scars Collecting your jar of hearts And tearing love apart You're gonna catch a cold From the ice inside your soul Don't come back for me Don't come back at all Who do you think you are? Running 'round leaving scars Collecting your jar of hearts And tearing love apart You're gonna catch a cold From the ice inside your soul Don't come back for me Don't come back at all Who do you think you are? Who do you think you are? Who do you think you are?

about

The Black, Black Rose EP... Sometimes music is not made for the audience that's normally tuned in, sometimes it's all for self, for closure, or perhaps a place to reflect. This deeply personal EP release from Edinburgh based Werd is exactly that. Containing remix's of popular mainstream tracks as well as spoken word poetry, its apparent this release is somewhat carefree, yet comes straight from the heart.

EP Dedicated to those having never had anything to lose.
EP name influenced from the work of Robert Burns.
Promotional use only. Not for sale or public airplay.
