Track X was one of the promotional singles that Black Country, New Road released prior to the release of their debut record For the First Time. This is likely a demo version of the song that Isaac Wood created before the recording of the album/single version. Here is an early performance of Track X...
[Verse 1]
You've got great hips
I've been shaken ever since
You told me no love would live in this house
And turned out the inside inside-out
I tried my best to stay afloat
After I sacrificed the goat
In your name
In the same room where we fucked as kids
With Abraham and Isaac and all of my greatest hits
[Chorus]
Oh, and I guess in some way
I've always been the guest
Oh, and I guess in some way
I've always been the guest
[Verse 2]
Dancing to Jerskin, I got down on my knees
I told you I loved you in front of Black Midi
I told my friend Jack that it could havе been you
I know it was funny, but I was struggling, too
I left my drink on the eighteenth floor
I thought about jumping in your facе when you saw
I thought of my father and proving him wrong
But mostly of Molly and Dylan and my mum
[Chorus]
Oh, and I guess in some way
I've always been the guest
Oh, and I guess in some way
I've always been the guest
Oh, and I guess in some way
I've always been the guest
Oh, and I guess in some way
I've always been the guest
