As we walk out to your car I can see the stillness in your heart Knowing we may never meet again Knowing we’ll just be those distant friends I can feel the slowness inside you I can feel the slowness inside me I can feel the slowness I can feel it hold us I can feel the, can feel the, can feel the slowness Slow, slow draw Slow, slow draw Slow, slow draw Slow draw Take me to the city Yeah let’s get drinks Tell me again that we stand on the brink Yeah you don’t even think The trouble that you bring I treat you like a queen But I’ll never be your king As we walk out to your car I can see the stillness in your heart Knowing we may never meet again Knowing we’ll just be those distant friends I can feel the slowness inside you I can feel the slowness inside me I can feel the slowness I can feel it hold us I can feel the, can feel the, can feel the slowness Slow, slow draw Slow, slow draw Slow, slow draw Slow draw I can feel the slowness inside you I can feel the slowness inside me I can feel the slowness I can feel it hold us I can feel the, can feel the, can feel the Slow, slow draw Slow, slow draw Slow, slow draw Slow draw

The Fear 03:45 video
Can I take you home baby? No it’s not late but lately All the people outside Make me want to go and hide Laughter, love and joy and hope Hanging from a shiny rope That wraps around my neck my dear I try to bottle up my fears When I’m comfy in my bed Comfy in my home Lock the door so we’re all alone Comfy in my bed Like a coffin in the ground Bury me deep, 6 feet down So won’t you stay here, please don’t go dear You’re my teddy bear Pillow in the air Help me sleep with no despair But when you’re gone Skeleton and bone And the ghosts they ride and roam It’s the fear in me Oh the fear in me Oh the fear you’ll leave Oh the fear, dear Oh the fear in me Oh the fear you’ll leave As the world bleeds Feel the fear, fear in me The pace at which they move is frightening Too much all the time like lightning People all around the globe Beat my brain, overload They walk and talk with traffic heavy Smoke and signals blink unsteady All my worries flurry by I watch the world slowly die And I’m comfy in my bed Comfy in my home You can rock my twilight zone Comfy in my bed Like a coffin in the ground Bury me deep, six feet down So won’t you stay here, please don’t go dear You’re my teddy bear Pillow in the air Help me sleep with no despair But when you’re gone Skeleton and bone And the ghosts they ride and roam It’s the fear in me Oh the fear in me Oh the fear you’ll leave Oh the fear, dear Oh the fear in me Oh the fear you’ll leave As the world bleeds Feel the fear, fear in me

Don’t know what’s come over you You never been this way before I don’t know what’s come over you But it’s getting real, getting real hard Like a sci-fi dream Or a story in the west That I don’t wanna see Though I wanna know the end Don’t know what’s come over you You never been this way before Don’t know what’s come over you But it’s getting real, getting real Need you there, I need somewhere I need you there to hold The sky is dark and the desert hard And the summer’s gotten cold It’s driving night and traffic lights say Stop at every turn I wish you’d ride tonight with me ‘Cause I can’t seem to learn, where to go And I want you all the time (and I want you all the time) And I need you all the time (and I need you all the time) (And I want you all the time) Don’t know what’s come over you You never been this way before Don’t know what’s come over you But it’s getting real, getting real hard Is this a desert dream Or a story in the west I just can’t find peace And I want it all to end Don’t know what’s come over you You never been this way before Don’t know what’s come over you But it’s getting real, getting real dark And I want you all the time (and I want you all the time) And I need you all the time (and I need you all the time) And I want you all the time (and I want you all the time) And I need you all the time (and I need you all the time) Don’t know what’s come over you You never been this way before I don’t know what’s come over you You never been this way before

Taking aim at me and you When we’re open like a wound Directly, affects me Very hard So please don’t aim at me tonight I’m still bleeding from our fights They’re revolvin’, devolvin’ Hittin’ hard Shooting hearts Bullet blues Drawing everything on you Shooting hearts And I know I’ll lose Against you Shooting hearts Bullet blues Making ghosts of me and you Shooting hearts And I know I’ll lose Bullet blues As the dust falls like petals Do you still taste the burning metal? ‘Cause our words won’t just settle On the ground Holes of hope still remain That in time we’ll be okay Won’t you hold the draw before The final round Shooting hearts Bullet blues Drawing everything on you Shooting hearts And I know I’ll lose Against you Shooting hearts Bullet blues Making ghosts of me and you Shooting hearts And I know I’ll lose Bullet blues Shooting hearts Bullet blues Drawing everything on you Shooting hearts And I know I’ll lose Bullet blues Shooting hearts Bullet blues Making ghosts of me and you Shooting hearts And I know I’ll lose Against you Bullet blues

I’ll never let it go Never let it go Nothing’s worth as much as I got Yeah I think I found a winner Like every other sinner But mine will turn my silver to gold Yeah as the coffee’s brewing Feeling getting moving Feeling my eyes open up Since when I first saw ya And though I hardly know ya I think you’ll turn my silver to gold Oh we stop and look up to the moon When the night gets cold We’ll be shining in silver But soon we’ll turn to gold As the night gets colder Feel I’m getting older Feel like my skies opened up Put your head on my shoulder Although I hardly know ya’ I think you’ll turn my silver to gold I’ll never let it go Never let it go Nothing’s worth as much as I got I think I found a winner Like every other sinner But mine will turn my silver to gold To stop and look up to the moon When we’re getting old We’ll be shining in silver But soon we’ll turn to gold Soon we’ll turn to gold To stop and look up to the moon When we’re getting old We’ll be shining in silver But soon we’ll turn to gold Soon we’ll turn to gold To gold, to gold, to gold To gold, to gold, to gold To gold, to gold, to gold To gold, to gold

Late in the evening Do I play on your mind? It’s when I really need you, harder to find You don’t seem to try Oh, knock on my window Blow the dust off my mind I found my ride beside you And I wrapped my coat around you You’re in my picture Where the good surely die I took my ride beside you I took ten paces from you This is the part Where the good surely die And when you told me That you needed some space I made some distance As you made up your case I thought it was brave To take all our feelings and then leave them to fate Harder, harder, harder to face Harder, harder, losing my way, leave it to fate, oh I found my ride beside you And I wrapped my coat around you You’re in my picture Where the good surely die I took my ride beside you I took ten paces from you This is the part Where the good surely die Harder, harder, harder to face Harder, harder, leave it to fate, oh I found my ride beside you And I wrapped my coat around you You’re in my picture Where the good surely die I took my ride beside you I took ten paces from you This is the part Where the good surely die

Four cold brick walls Make my bed upon the floor I know you got, got my key And you keep me here eternally My cigarettes will burn While dreamin’ on All the guys and girls With eyes wide as worlds Free as the birds I wish that I had learnt Heeded their words Free as the birds Free as the birds Turn back the time To make life as sweet as apple pie And I’m stuck to you Like the ground under your shoes, so darlin’ Cigarettes will burn While dreamin’ on All the guys and girls With eyes wide as worlds Free as the birds I wish that I had learnt Heeded their words Free as the birds Free as the birds Cigarettes will burn While dreamin’ on All the guys and girls With eyes wide as worlds Free as the birds I wish I had learnt Heeded their words Free as the birds I wish I had learnt Free as the birds

Sleep 03:27
It’s been a hard day in the clouds Left me awfully worn out Laying on the ground Boy it feels good, calming down In the golden, golden hour Make a bed down by the flowers And float like a feather Float with the weather Open like the desert Boy it feels better To sleep, there’s never ever any sound To sleep, there’s nothing that I need yeah Nothing that I need Tonight I don’t need no more Deep sleep Oceans deep Deep sleep Deep sleep As the west burns in the fire In the east they grow tired As darkness fills it up I’ll take a drink from my cup When I’m blue in the face And there ain’t no more race No more sound, no more tryin’ No more laughin’, no more lyin’ To sleep, there’s never ever any sound To sleep, there’s nothing that I need yeah Nothing that I need Tonight I don’t need no more Deep sleep Oceans deep Deep sleep Deep sleep Deep sleep Oceans deep Deep sleep Deep sleep

Long Road 03:23
Oh I know Yeah it’s easier for some They got everything you want Wish it was easier, just easier But I can’t change ‘Cause it’s me And it’s all I’ll ever be And I can’t blame you, yeah I can’t blame you So start the engine in the cold You say it’s nice to see me, though You won’t share my ride home I’ll be traveling alone You put some music on the radio You’re singing loud and driving slow You’ll be sailing under stars On your long road in his arms Oh I know I was missing all the signs Crossing all the lines Losing touch, given up But I can’t change ‘Cause it’s me And it’s all I’ll ever be And I will miss you, yeah I will miss you So start the engine in the cold You say it’s nice to see me, though You won’t share my ride home I’ll be traveling alone You put some music on the radio You’re singing loud and driving slow You’ll be sailing under stars On your long road in his arms So start the engine in the cold You say it’s nice to see me, though You won’t share my ride home I’ll be traveling alone You put some music on the radio You’re singing loud and driving slow You’ll be sailing under stars On your long road in his arms

about

Siblings Henry and Rupert Stansall, known as Ruen Brothers, are saddling up from their home of Scunthorpe, England to ride into unmarked territory. Inspired by their love of noir and neo-western films, their cinematic new album Ten Paces exhibits the rich, sonic versatility of the brothers, as every instrument heard on the album is performed by Henry and Rupert. The anthemic build of "The Fear" to the lonesome balladeering of "Bullet Blues" showcases these two outlaws at their creative peak.
