Early song writing
Having always enjoyed writing songs and playing them to his friends, Stevenson eventually started collaborating with John Perry of The Only Ones in the middle of 2004. Culminating in a set of four well received acoustic demos, they began with a series of low key gigs around London and Edinburgh before embarking on a recording an acoustic EP that saw a limited release and was sold at live concerts

Intro: C Am Em G
Verse:
C Am
I hear she came from a distant star
Em G
In a vintage dress and a stolen car
With a second hand copy of Planet Of The Apes
I was living at the time with a Mrs. Swift
It was a rent-free situation if you catch my drift
There's always more than several ways to pay
Bridge:
Dm E7
She cast her spell she silenced the place
Am* Dm
With her full moon eyes in her night sky face
G
"It's hard being human in a world like this"
She purred in my ear and her hand brushed my wrist
Chorus:
C Em
And I cried when I was born
Am Em
Life seemed so uninviting
F C G
To ride the storm dodging bolts of lightening
C Em
After darkness comes the dawn
An Em
And since I found you darling
F C
I cried when I was born
G Gsus4 G
But I'll die laughing
She left a trail of bobby pins
And other mysterious female things
And it led me to my ladies chamber door
I knocked once and I knocked twice
"Come in" she said, "and don't be shy
Hang up your clothes but leave your hang ups on the floor"
I did exactly as she said
And lay beside her on the bed
It's hard being human but the alternative is worse
Our curse is our beauty and our beauty is our curse
And I cried when I was born
Life seemed so uninviting
To ride the storm dodging bolts of lightening
After darkness comes the dawn
And since I found you darling
I cried when I was born
But I'll die laughing
Dm Am*
Our love affair could be everlasting
E7 Am*
Love vanishes when you try to grasp it
Dm
And if you're looking
Am*
For something to hold on to
G
Then I guess its change
It's change that's calling the tune we dance to
I cried when I was born
Life seemed so uninviting
To ride the storm dodging bolts of lightening
After darkness comes the dawn
And since I found you darling
I cried when I was born
But I'll die laughing
C Am Em G
C Am End on Em
