My Paper Made Men

It looks as though this is currently download only (and by that I mean legal download), which is a shame. I know that it will sound very little the worse for it and, for those listening on portable players it is the most convenient. I, being slightly old-fashioned, hope that a physical format will follow. If that is CD then I'll be fine with that, but if it were to be on 12" then I certainly wouldn't be one to complain!


The image is rubbish. Why can't downloads at the very least include decent art work, which one can print oneself if so minded and for that matter lyrics, when appropriate, too? This would add little to the download size and, to me at least, make the whole package much more appealing.
When it comes to lyrics (with the usual disclaimers, on my part, regarding accuracy and security) to both 'False Smiles', 'My Paper Made Men' and many other odds and ends then you might try this unofficial site.

Is this just me being strange?
If it is then I don't really care; so please feel quite free to comment!

For those who asked, as this seems to be the most enquired about track, here is the lyric to 'She Walks Beautiful' taken from the site mentioned above. It has a few bits that are missing or doubtful but thats always a problem when working them out fom the recording and even then those printed (if they are) don't always agree with those printed in the album. If you think you know what they are then this site allows you to add suggestions or corrections:

She Walks Beautiful

She walks alone and when she loves, her love is so wrong
She don't need a man
She won't stand by what she can't stand
Like why did (walls?) you all stand in line
Now when she pass you by
She knows her sins with humility
And reaches for the light

With aching knees and back the way is hard to bear
but she carries it with a smile
She walks beautiful, she walks beautiful
she walks beautiful by herself
She walks beautiful, she walks beautiful
she walks beautiful by herself

She walks alone
she's not invited to parties
so she's (...?)
All alone
to feel the high she bears the lows

She doesn't call out like the others in the night
in despair of loneliness
She walks beautiful, she walks beautiful
she walks beautiful by herself
She walks beautiful, she walks beautiful
she walks beautiful by herself

Ayaheaheah Ayaheaheah Ayaheaheah Ahohohoh (x4)

She walks beautiful, she walks beautiful
she walks beautiful by herself

Ayaheaheah Ayaheaheah Ayaheaheah Ahohohoh (x3)

She walks beautiful, she walks beautiful
she walks beautiful by herself
She walks beautiful, she walks beautiful
she walks beautiful by herself
She walks beautiful, she walks beautiful
she walks beautiful by herself
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

While writing this I'm listening to False Smiles - Amy Studt. If it is not fashionable then it bothers me no more and no less than if it were the hottest album right now.
