This is a track recorded and written by my brother Hugo Nicolson for his project called Yellowhammer.
Claire remembers singing the vocal into a mic with such a short lead she had to bend over to sing it.

lyrics
On a day like today
There's nothing better than a
Trip down, to the river
It's the morning after the night before
And I've felt worse
And i've definitely felt better
The sun is hot
And the breeze is cool
I'd miss you
You and I
It's the life that we demanded
You and I
We can't live it second handed
You and I
We keep it up and I feel better don't you
We keep it up and we're bound to make it through
I've ordered 2 pints
And a whisky chaser
Shall we sit outside
The fresh air will help us
I've got a sinking feeling
Cos i'm running on empty
I'll fill myself up
And nothing can stop me
You and I
It's the life that we demanded
You and I
We can't live it second handed
You and I
We keep it up and I feel better don't you
We keep it up and we're bound to make it through
On a day like today
There's nothing better than a
Trip down, to the river
It's the morning after the night before
And I've felt worse
And i've definitely felt better
The sun is hot
And the breeze is cool
I'd miss you
You and I
It's the life that we demanded
You and I
We can't live it second handed
You and I
We keep it up and I feel better don't you
We keep it up and we're bound to make it through
