about

It’s all in the title for this song. He's gonna let me drive the car.

lyrics

Desperation is a Friend of mine

First time in a long time
I wish it never moved so fast
Sunlight is a friend of mine
and it never ever burned so bad
and it’s getting too hot to touch
I can’t love the pain enough

Lost down the corridors
I wish I hadn’t found the love
Something lies in the corner
And I can’t put my finger on

I shouldn’t ever go it alone
But I love to feel the pain on my own

Some nights I feel like
a raconteur gone too far
Desperation is a friend of mine
And he’s gonna let me drive the car
If every star burns like a sun
I’m gonna take the pain and run

It’s getting too hot to touch
but I can’t love the pain enough

from Bachelor Tapes, released March 29, 2018
“Bachelor Tapes” by Cold Ghost aka Fletcher Babb. All songs written, recorded and produced by Fletch.

Mixed and mastered by Fletch.

Recorded and produced on the Gold Coast at Griffith University studios and Fletch’s home base, ‘Traffic or the Waves’.

Thanks to: Jake Morton (drums) and Ricky Collins (bass and guitar) for helping supply the core rhythms and grooves and for pressing record when I needed. Greg Hosking (drums) and Ben Dougherty (guitar) for making ‘Hide It All Away’ sound so good. Eliza Pickard (vox) and Zoe Gelzinnis (vox/piano) for your ethereal vocals. Daniel Booth for the weird effects. Also to Callum Robinson, Tiarni Hope Nichols, Connor Verner-Oakley and anyone else who helped out in any of the recording sessions.

Thanks also to Brendan Anthony, Jared Adlam and Caleb James, your guidance throughout this production process was invaluable. And to Anthony Lycenko, for helping shape ‘Vampire Love Song”, may you rest in peace.

This album is dedicated to Bernadette, Jonquil and Banquo, together anything is possible.
