Hurt Me is the first cut to be lifted from the forthcoming long player by London newcomer Holly Walker . A measured, beautifully produced three minutes that showcases Walker’s subtle vocal abilities over a textured, jazz flecked backing.

Holly Walker – Hurt Me Lyrics:
Night rolls by.
Darkness deludes my mind.
I wonder who’s that coming after me.
No noise ‘cept from the TV.
Rage wracks your head.
Weapon beneath your bed.
You’re almost as hysterical as me.
How bad tempered you can be.
Hurt me, come on.
You want blood, I want blood as well.
Hurt me, come on.
You want pain, I want pain as well.
Argument blazes on.
Nobody’s ever wrong.
How to be rid of this anxiety?
Okay take it out on me.
And in the night, creep into the bathroom.
Slide right back on the tiles stay silent.
And when we fight, tell me I’m an ice cold bitch.
Laugh up my attempt to be violent.
Hurt me…
