    Our very first official release, this this 6 track EP came out in 2018 and is really more like a mini album.

    Songs are like little fish being released into a big ocean. Who knows where they (or any of us for that matter) will end up?
    We really hope you enjoy our first official release and sense the love that we have put into it.
    It’s dedicated to our family and friends. A special thanks to the amazing Chuck.
    Jim and Josie

    Milton Hide draw inspiration from their surroundings, from people they meet and from traditional folk songs from East Sussex and beyond - way beyond, sometimes!

about

Many of the best songs ever written come from a background of heartache, misery and pain. Unfortunately for us we have been ecstatically happy together ever since the day we met. Happily though we have known many people who have suffered badly at the hands of love. (These tales are fictional and bare no relationship to any person - living or deceased).

lyrics

You often see her walk out
with that look in her eye
You never know who
she’s going to meet
She tells me “Sometimes true love is a hard thing to find
But I’ll keep on looking
till it blinds me”

She has a vodka and coke
with ice and a slice
She sits in her usual seat
She says hello to the guy at
the bar who seems nice
Sometimes looks can be
very deceiving

They go back to her place
and he stays the night
She dreams of a future
like a bird taking flight
But her bed is now empty,
he was gone by first light
She says she’s ok but she lies
Love is a bitch then you die

He was his Mummy’s best boy, the light of Dad’s life
His future their only concern
They taught him how to be true, always to be kind
A lesson that’s not always learned

Despite all this love
he turned out no good
The law came
at least once a week
Until he went out one night
and never came home
His name they would never repeat

He went out one Friday
to get himself laid
But he got himself high
with the wave of a blade
They found him curled up
like a newly born babe
His parents can testify
Love is a bitch then you die

We get this life sentence
like love is a crime
We’re guilty as hell
so just do your time
And you’ll be ok
Baby you’ll be just fine
We can’t take no more
but we try
‘Cos love is a bitch then you die

Yes, you get this life sentence
like love is a crime
You’re guilty as hell
so just do your time
And you’ll be ok
Baby you’ll be just fine
You say you’re ok but you lie
‘Cos love is a bitch then you die
