The bridal suite wasn’t quite what you expected And the view out of the lake was not that at all And the thirty-year-old outlook from a sixteen-year-old mind Will never help you when she’s crawling up the wall
Wishing you were not the newlyweds Wishing you were not the newlyweds Wishing you were not the newlyweds Start from the start and wake up one day ten years later
The honeymoon, it came and went in silence As you packed away your memories in that case The pressure cooker romance started leaking steam, quiteslowly first But blew its top much later in your face
The photographs were dull and uninspiring A perpetual reminder of the grief A Kodachrome rendition of a black and white state of mind That took away your future like a thief
Wake up, wake up, wake up! (Won’t you) wake up, wake up! | |||
| Episode 2: "Can't See For Looking" | 17 Apr 2026 | 00:44:25 | |
Tim and Damian once again amble along the windswept promenade of music-biz memories, deliberating on childhood tribalism, cultural appropriation, difficult time signatures, recording studio nerves… and Jamaican beer. All culminating beautifully in a wistful re-recording of Tim’s ‘Can’t SeeFor Looking’. Grab a jacket, turn up the collar and join them for the b-side stroll.

Linden Studios Cumbria - Guy Forrester LYRICS
Can’t See For Looking words and music by Tim Riley
I can’t see for looking, see the wood for the trees Though I’ve looked high and low on my hands and my knees And I wish that you’d tell me what it is that I’ve lost Cos I can’t see for looking Our union is ending, and it cuts me in two To see you turn away when I look at you And you decline my invitation to give it one chance Our union is ending
I’m practising perfection, my motive unclear It’ll soften your defences, I’m certain, my dear And if that were to happen, I’m sure you’d agree Oh, what am I saying?
As a desperate attempt, I have pleaded with you To consider it further and start anew But my rivers of persuasion are fast running dry These rivers of persuasion
Please forgive me Please forgive me Please forgive me Please forgive me I can’t see for looking, see the wood for the trees Though I’ve looked high and low on my hands and my knees And I wish that you’d tell me what it is that I’ve lost Cos I can’t see for looking Our union is ending, and it cuts me in two To see you turn away when I look at you And you decline my invitation to give it one chance Our union is ending | |||
| Episode 3: "A Thousand Miles Away" | 24 Apr 2026 | 00:44:48 | |
Join Tim and Damian on another scamper through the deep, dank forest of bandmate nostalgia. This time, the nearly-men of pop bang on about the weight of mandolins, the value of using antique audio equipment, first-person versus third-person song perspectives, brushes with bigwig A&R men…and background sheep noises. All topped off with a rousing little rendition of Tim’s “A Thousand Miles Away” (with tasty real drums!). Join them and together, hack through the music-biz wonder-growth. LYRICS A Thousand Miles Away words and music by Tim Riley
She’s away from here Even when she’s right here And her vacant stare Means she’s never quite there She’s a thousand miles away She’s a thousand miles away
With her head in the clouds She skips around the town And no one knows the sanctuary she’s found She’s a thousand miles away She’s a thousand miles away
She’s away from here Even when she’s right here And no one knows the sanctuary she’s found She’s a thousand miles away She’s a thousand miles away | |||
| Episode 4: "Morningside Road" | 01 May 2026 | 00:42:58 | |
It’s time once again to rope up to Tim and Damian as they traverse the rocky (‘n’ rolly) wastelands of bandmatery. This week, our musical explorers discuss banishment from a famed pub…van breakdowns… a lovely and much-missed fella called Martin Ruby…inspirational management…getting kitted out at Afflecks Palace…dodgy ‘Suede’ bootleg cassettes… and a recording studio called Frog. And, as if that weren’t enough (and it probably isn't), the show culminates in a newly recorded version of an old ‘Boat Thief’ live set classic, Tim’s marvellous paean to Edinburgh: ‘Morningside Road’. Och, the new! LYRICS: Morningside Road words and music by Tim Riley
Well, I wrap my coat around me And I wish that you were here So I can take your hand in the Canny Man’s And make things disappear Come with me and share my load I’m gonna walk with you down Morningside Road Come with me and share my load I’m gonna walk with you down Morningside Road
So I nudge the sleeping city As I’m walking through her streets And I kick my toes at the falling snow As it settles around my feet Come with me and share my load I’m gonna walk with you down Morningside Road Come with me and share my load I’m gonna walk with you down Morningside Road
Well, I’ve always seen this place as my second home And the city is my friend when I’m all alone
So I’m counting every hour Til I’m with her once again Til I again embrace that wondrous place That mistress to so many, many men Come with me and share my load I’m gonna walk with you down Morningside Road Come with me and share my load I’m gonna walk with you down Morningside Road | |||
| Episode 5: 'Tea and Biscuits" | 08 May 2026 | 00:43:16 | |
Time again to clamber aboard the soul-fired train of musical memories with your drivers Tim and Damian. This week, the mates present ‘Tea and Biscuits’, a song that draws upon the stop-frame joys of Trumptonshire and tabloids. Along the scenic route, they’ll discuss life, first jobs, and Tim’s close and lasting relationship with Billy Bragg (almost). It’s another unmissable ride – and you’ll get there in 45 minutes (or if you can’t then you can claim a ticket refund via a cunningly complex online process).
LYRICS: Tea and Biscuits words and music by Damian Scott
Tea and biscuits as you curse into your cup Beer and grumbling as you swear your time is up Words of wisdom as you put the world to rights The morning paper to see who won the fight Ten o’clock and never late You’re waiting for the early morning break And the papers will tell you what’s going on in the world
Tea and biscuits as you toast the bride [Papers, read all about it in the papers] A royal wedding for the folks inside Tea and biscuits as the hooter blows [Papers, read all about it in the papers] Pull up your trousers and wipe your nose
The Sun or Mirror left by the toilet seat Smiling Sam is there to make your day complete A perfect figure and a page of misspelt words She’s sitting pretty in her sealskin and her furs Ten o’clock and never late You’re waiting for the early morning break And the papers will tell you what’s going on in the world
Tea and biscuits as you toast the bride [Papers, read all about it in the papers] A royal wedding for the folks inside Tea and biscuits as the hooter blows [Papers, read all about it in the papers] Pull up your trousers and wipe your nose
Like or lump it as you contemplate your shares It’s cake or crumpet for the chaps that work upstairs Ten o’clock and never late You’re waiting for the early morning break And the papers will tell you what’s going on in the world
Tea and biscuits as you toast the bride [Papers, read all about it in the papers] A royal wedding for the folks inside Tea and biscuits as the hooter blows [Papers, read all about it in the papers] Pull up your trousers and wipe your nose | |||
