Can you see which way to go? Straight ahead - can you ever know? The right track all mapped out A true course beyond all doubt I think that I'll just trust the wind It might seem aimless But I'll get there in the end Well she said you've gotta run And he said don't be so dumb Well my plan is not to plan I just drift to where I am I think that I'll just trust the wind It might seem aimless But I'll get there in the end
2.
Was I supposed to pay attention? Did you just squeak another threat? Or have you squawked some new opinion? Well I sure ain't been listening yet Wish that I could find the time To give less time to you Think you're so cutting with your put downs Your practiced off the cuff remarks Your voice to me is such a small sound A lonely whisper in the dark Wish that I could find the time To give less time to you To give less time to you Squeak squeak To give less time to you Squawk squawk
3.
It's enough to know that you will be there To take away all troubles and cares You brightened yesterday And I promise to repay I will give you my tomorrow I swear When the dark surrounds there's a light at the end Oh honey sweet I think of you then Away from this sad world I can be Freed from the chains that eyes cannot see And in some hour of need Should doubt and fear succeed Back in your saving arms I will be When the dark surrounds there's a light at the end Oh honey sweet I think of you then

Same Stuff 02:38
One step through the door It's not a place I've gone before Two steps a path unknown Slip outside the safety zone Three steps come what may We'll leave this world so far away Four steps and then a fifth Cut the cord we're set adrift Cut the cord we're set adrift Haven't we come far enough? To know we are the same stuff One step through the door It's not a place I've gone before Two three four and then a fifth Cut the cord we're set adrift Cut the cord we're set adrift Haven't we come far enough? To know we are the same stuff We're the same stuff We are the same stuff

THE PRIMITIVES are back. Paul Court, Tig Williams and Tracy Tracy’s band continue to prove that they are in their second youth. After that exceptional album of covers called “Echoes And Rhymes” and their fantastic last album “Spin-O-Rama”, Elefant Records is releasing a magnificent 10” vinyl maxi-single with four new, original songs by the band, that can keep up with any of their greatest hits.

The guitar that starts off “I'll Trust The Wind” evokes some of the band’s great moments, with a marvellous riff and an incomparable dynamic. Their contagious melodies plus that British touch are evident throughout. “Squeak 'N' Squawk” is another bullseye, which echoes once again (and why not) other bands’ such as THE JESUS & MARY CHAIN or PRIMAL SCREAM’s finest moments, with a straightforward nod towards early classic PRIMITIVES. “Oh Honey Sweet” opens the B-side with their more pop facet, less distortion and wonderfully light, with Paul’s voice illuminating everything. And to finish, so that we don’t forget about some of the British band’s consistent references, “Same Stuff” closes things on a high note with overtones of garage, surf and blues, and a noisy and solid bass riff.

These songs sound as fresh as if they had been composed in the band’s first year of existence. The release will be a 1000-copy limited-edition 10” vinyl.
