Track Listing
Robbie Williams UFO FanOriginalPastiche
This song was inspired by a documentary where Jon Ronson took Robbie Williams on the trail looking for UFOs. Robbie is a true-believer of UFO mythology, so this is the "Aliens" to his "Angels"

Beautiful Girl in a ComaOriginalStudio
I'm not sure I was smart enough to have been parodying "Girlfriend in a Coma". This was a song I put together in my studio because I wanted to make something. It's a bit dark and some of the language hasn't aged well, but it's also written "in character" from someone whose values I never shared. I was definitely channeling both Bowie and the Conchords in some of the delivery.
26 August 2007I Know How to Treat a LadyOriginalStudio
This is a song I wrote in the studio, and it was inspired by the idea of a guy who thinks he's really good at treating women, but is actually clueless. It's a bit of an uncomfortable listen now, but I had clearly thrown myself into the performance, and it's "in character" again. I do not agree with this character. The "percussion" in this album is a combination of finger clicks, and me rubbing my jumper.
10 January 2008Distracting RacistsOriginalLive
I wrote this song for live work in my second year of being a comedian. I did it at a bunch of gigs, and it was mainly a song about rhyming board games. It seems a bit cras now, but it has a nerdy heart to it. This version was performed live at the Fringe in 2005 during a show called Radio Blah Blah, which was both performed live and streamed to online listeners. I think the host was doing his best to create an atmosphere around rather ham fisted song.
13 August 2005Eurovision - Clean Radio EditOriginalLive
This was recorded at a fundraising event in Manchester where the local BBC radio were present doing segments for the Phil and Gail show I've tried to tidy up this very noisy recording which had crowd noise in the background and lots of radio compression on it too. You can hear what's going on. At that time, Terry Wogan was still presenting Eurovision, and the pope was had a shady relation with Nazism in the past.
15 March 2007Eurovision - Random AI CoverHybrid
While using Suno to stem split this track to try to reduce noise, I wondered how it might manage a cover version of quite a loose performance. The answer is remarkably well
10 May 2026Shit HusbandOriginalDemo
A song I tried once about people with shit husbands. It's a demo recording from when the song was written.
24 April 202330 Seconds - the 30 second remasterOriginal
This was recorded years before I put it on the album for The Seven Deadly Sings. I've put it through a remastering/remixing from extracted stems in May 2026 for the sake of pulling out more of what's in there
1 July 2007Lv SngOriginal
Exactly when this song was written is lost to the mists of time. It was back when predictive text was still new and the smart phone was not even a thing.
