Poles Apart
Dead Letter Office Lyrics
Don't you know that the odds are stacked against us,
And no-one here's gonna tell you how to win.
Read the book, seen the script, completely vacant.
It's hard to stay alive when you don't know how to live.
And I guess it matters to me.
Hey, don't have faith man it'll damage your heart.
Hey, You're not alone kid, you're part of me.
It's been so many years since we last saw sparks.
If your ship don't come in swim out to catch it,
Even if the water looks a little dark.
And I guess it matters to me.
Hey, don't have faith man it'll damage your heart.
Hey, You're not alone kid, you're part of me.
A celebrated scholar with nothing new to say,
You don't matter, you're just in the way.
The politics and dirty tricks they played behind your back.
No second chances, no trying again.
You didn't stay for long but you made sure to leave your mark.
We don't speak no more. We've grown so far apart.
And I need some solid ground to stand on, I need somewhere to call home,
I could try double but you're nothing on your own.
No-one's nothing on their own.
We might as well be poles apart

Formed in the summer of 2004, they found their current line-up early in 2005. Within recent months they have been writing and performing increasingly better and more forward thinking music, and the band has been going from strength to strength.
Throughout 2006 the band spent time gigging relentlessly at venues all over the Midlands area, and during that time provided the band with the chance to support Howling Bells twice, the 1990s and the Tiny Dancers and play at βOxjam Festivalβ in London.
The band have also been featured three times on BBC Hereford and Worcesterβs βThe Friday Sessionβ, several times on online radio stations in the βMonochrome Museum Global Networkβ, and on MTV βOnes to Watchβ (which was shown repeatedly throughout April and May on MTV2).
In recent months the band have been recording their debut album βComplicationsβ) with their humble and very portable home studio equipment; the band finally released the album on Friday 13th April.
Dead Letter Office are currently working on writing and recording their second album. This is due to be finished Autumn 2009.

Jevon Davies - Bass/ Backing vocals
James Atkins - Guitar
Harry Bourne - Drums/Backing vocals

Unfortunately, after many years loyal service, Ben Foxall left the band. James Atkins stepped in to guitar duties.
