Welcome back to another #MusicMonday! It’s not about books, but about music, and I’m looking forward to presenting you with a taste of my playlist. It’s the brainchild of Drew from The Tattooed Book Geek, but my inspiration comes from the lovely Claire from A Knight’s Reads. Every Monday, I’ll be choosing a song to share with you. The Spotify playlist is here and it will be updated as I go along.

Gig season is here! Yesterday I went to see Shed Seven in Halifax. They were celebrating 30 years of their Maximum High album. I had a great night! Today I’m sharing one of my favourite tracks from the album.

Shed Seven: Bully Boy

You knocked me off my feet
And I fell face first on the concrete
I took a blow to the limbs
I didn’t even know him

There’s no point in hiding
The hate that you confide in
The pain that you call your own

There’s no point in shying
From the fists that are flying
The boy is on his own

You looked me in the eye
I bet you thought I was paralysed
I took a blow to the chest
Now I’ve been underestimated

There’s no point in hiding
The hate that you confide in
The pain that you call your own

There’s no point in shying
From the fists that are flying
The boy is on his own

There’s no point in hiding
The hate that you confide in
The pain that you call your own

There’s no point in shying
From the fists that are flying
The boy is on his own

I’ll fight you to the death
I’ll fight you to the death

I’ll fight you to the death
I’ll fight you to the death

I’ll fight you to the death
I’ll fight you to the death
To the death
