about

a song about how we never really know the truth about anyone

lyrics

So many accusations hanging round the town
I'm sick of all the people who keep on hanging around

You know I didn't do it
You've known me all my life
I'm not that good at lieing
I'm not brave enough to try

So many accusations hanging round the town
I'm tired of all the guilty eyes that are quick to put me down

You know I couldn't do that
I'd never cross that line
But I've been living in the shadows
For nearly half my life

Many of my foes live in glass houses throwing stones
They need to find a way to hate just short of breaking my bones

But you know I couldn't do that
I'm not that kind of guy
You never spoke my language
You have never heard me cry

So many accusations flying all around
I don't think I can say what's really rooted on the ground
All this fear and confusion and misery
I never thought the eyes would be staring hard at me

You know I didn't do it
can't believe the things they say
It's hard to really know
anybody anyway

A singer-songwriter sort-of-thing, named after a t-shirt and never intended as a viable commercial proposition HTC was a vehicle for some excellent songs.

2009 album 'Harry Smith was my Father' is described as "immaculate, the acme of intimacy in music" (Common Folk Meadow). A second album 'Passengers Greatest Hits' followed in 2014.

HTC now records and releases music as 'The Family Grave'.
