Pocket Toy 03:14
lyrics
Ten minutes a day, your little pocket toy Take me out to play, take me for a walk Ten minutes a day, is all that I deserve At least to think that way, better than to starve I’m not your pocket toy! Ten minutes a day, is that all that we are? Just a ‘passing phase’, or a phantom limb scar? Ten minutes a day, lest you become bored Dropped so quickly, now that you’re getting yours. And I’m thinking out loud, because my heart won’t stay the same But despite all that it… Hurts! I’m not your pocket toy! Ten minutes a day, well sure, I’ll play along I wish you both the best but you can do it on your own I’m not some novelty. I’m not your wind-up doll! Who knew that friendship could be so cruel and shallow? And I’m thinking out loud, because my heart won’t stay the same But despite all that it hurts, Though I know you’re not to blame Cause I guess you’re both in love, And things might change, But despite all that it… HURTS! I’m not your pocket toy!

Click Track 01:48
lyrics
Wasting around, waiting for the day- I am nobody, somebody to someone- Sitting around, takin’ it easy- Doing everything, flirting to no one- All me, All of my, Energy, I play to my- Click tracks in my head, I’m out of time- Singing it aloud, singing off the mic- Hearing myself, play again and again- One more take, another fucking re-write! All me All of my Energy I play to my- SELF MYSELF MYSELF MYSELF

FIDO 04:22
lyrics
If an artist is neither seen nor heard Do they even really make a sound? Suspended in the ether, occupying space Waiting for those blinking lights to go out. This can’t be it Holding tufts of grass Pulled into space Growing cold and letting go Summoned by no one Visions of falsehoods Diluted veins I should have chosen better dreams. A bedsit in the abyss… This can’t be it I’m not ready to go Falling into black With nothing to show I don’t know What I’m doing here Or who I am Or what’s the point. I’m dying…

Brother 05:55
lyrics
Brother, where art thou… Snapped off… Stripped of! Dead overnight Nothing’s… Sacred. Even you, my friend Wasted… On what? Ten years, come to an end… I don’t understand…

about

Pocket Toy is the debut EP by Bedsit, produced as a solo project by Tom Hockney.

All composition, performance and production were done by Tom. This EP was born out of necessity from being let down time and again by others; from the disillusionment of solitude and the loss of a brother and best friend.

Special Thanks:
Casey Stead, for assistance with production and just generally being a good friend.
Gary Hockney, for literally building the bedsit in which this EP was produced.
Eleanor Hockney, for closing the EP out with some debut vocals.
The Adelphi Club and all its staff and patrons, for providing a place of peace and worship at a time where I'd otherwise have gone completely mental.
