  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    A collaborative affair, Collum attributes the world-class musical standard to his band The Welfare Mothers and its honorary members; “The Welfare Mothers, with Paul Quarry on drums, Mags Layton on violin and vocals, and Martin Cutmore on bass brought these songs to life in a way that any singer-songwriter would give their eye teeth for.

    We were joined on these tracks by honorary Welfare Mother Martin Belmont on the flying Fender Stratocaster and Fender VI bass.” Embracing the new-normal of virtual collaboration, Collum worked with Peter Holsapple (the dBs, REM). “Peter added soulful Hammond B-3 and raucous harmony vocals to the track ‘Spare Me’ which was an intercontinental collaboration between Peter and myself. Pat Collier captured it all beautifully and his wit and patience was much appreciated as always.”

    Includes unlimited streaming of This Heart Will Self Destruct via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics

You said it only takes one to tango
That’s why you’re dancing on your own
If three’s a crowd and the music’s too loud
You'd be better off back home
But I'll be thinking of you
Just like I always do
If I could find my nerve and just the right words
I could get my message through

But you been keeping too much distance
Building up resistance
But there’s no way I’ll be giving up on you
You've been keeping too much distance
Building up resistance
But there’s no way I’ll be giving up on you

Nobody seemed to notice
Nobody seemed to care
You didn’t ask why when she said goodbye
At the bottom of the stairs
You were acting like a stranger
It shook me to the core
My heart just sank my mind went blank
As you walked right out the door

But you been keeping too much distance
Building up resistance
But there’s no way I’ll be giving up on you
You've been keeping too much distance
Building up resistance
But there’s no way I’ll be giving up on you

You said it only takes one to tango
That’s why you’re dancing on your own
If three’s a crowd and the music’s too loud
You'd be better off back home
But I'll be waiting for you
Just like I always do
If I could find my nerve and just the right words
I could get my message through

But you been keeping too much distance
Building up resistance
But there’s no way I’ll be giving up on you
You've been keeping too much distance
Building up resistance
But there’s no way I’ll be giving up on you

Bob Collum and the Welfare Mothers image

Bob Collum and the Welfare Mothers London, UK

Bob Collum & the Welfare Mothers make a cool noise. How cool you ask? Well, it's kinda alt-country, alot of rock & roll, add a smidgen of folk, and a dash of blues. Stick in a potent dose of guilt, a dollop of sin, a drop of salvation (just one drop), and equal measures of joy and sadness ... more
