Lyrics: Am I without or am I in I am uncertain in my skin They will pursue you and surround you See them dancing all around you Naked in your light You are their fire. You inspire Their whirling dance of pure delight You’re the only demigod in sight Well, of course I know your name But mistook you for the game Arcadia echoes with the sound Of the hounds I sent to run you down Oh - Artemis flee, Oh - Artemis flee, Oh - Artemis flee And leave the hounds to tear the flesh of me.

Lyrics: I’ve only one thing left to say to you I don’t care what you think I don’t care what you do You’ve done your worst You’ve done your best To take me out To make a mess You’re spewing poison like a sewer pie You’re dripping venom You’re full of spite You, try all you like This is My Life No touching me You’ll see You won’t bring me down Your blood is toxic in their veins When the kids have flown your pigeons will come home again (again) You can sharpen your knives Machinate my demise You can play your sick games And go calling me names Keep on spreading your lies Even spit in my eye In my heart I am free And you’ll see You won’t bring me down

about

The first single to drop from Gavin's new album 'Sophia's Child' features the Floyd-esque (think Ummagumma era) 'In Which Aktaeon Is Torn Asunder', the dark and vengeful '(You Won't Bring Me) Down', and a startling genre hop into 'Celebration'.

Tracks were recorded at Whanganui's Sasquatch Studio with additional overdubbing in Gavland Studio and mixing and mastering completed by Mike Gibson at Munki and Park Road Post in Wellington.
