*ONLY SHIPS TO USA & CANADA

Flame haired Northern Irish singer-songwriter Janet Devlin introduces herself to North America with her debut album ‘Running With Scissors,’ released on February 10th, 2015 via OK!Good Records. The 10-track album is full of folk-driven pop songs and heart touching ballads, showcasing Janet’s unique and enchanting vocals, which first caught the public’s attention on Series 8 of The UK X Factor in 2011.

‘Running With Scissors,’ which has already hit Number 1 on the Official UK Independent Album Charts, is mainly self-penned by Janet. It was recorded in a mere 6-weeks, and features co-writes with Newton Faulkner (“Creatures of The Night” and “Hide And Seek”) and Jack Savoretti (“Delicate”), alongside a surprising cover of The Cure’s “Friday I’m In Love”. Janet’s debut is an album about growing up, becoming independent and dealing with a whole range of new emotions.

    The Creatures Of The Night,
    Me, Myself and I, And All That Comes To Life,
    The Creatures Of The Night,
    The Creatures Of The...

    In The Darkness I Can See It All, See It All, See It All,
    In The Darkness I Can See It All,
    The Creatures Of The Night

    Howling at the Moon,
    As it Creeps in the Twilight,
    And Daylight Comes to Swoon,
    For The Creatures Of The Night,
    The Creatures Of The Night,
    The Creatures Of The Night

    In The Darkness I Can See It All, See It All, See It All,
    In The Darkness I Can See It All,
    The Creatures Of The Night

    I Don't Mind Being Alone,
    I Don't Need You to Hold Me Down,
    I Find a Home in the Stars, just as Long as they Don't Burn Out,
    They Won't Burn Out, For You

    The Creatures Of The Night,
    The Creatures Of The Night,
    The Creatures Of The Night,
    The Creatures Of The Night [x3]

  • Lyrics

    Dear love, how've you been?
    Do you still play our records On your record machine?
    "Born to die." "Nevermind."

    Dear friends, I found the key
    To the box beneath your bed where we hid everything.
    Funny how, don't need it now.

    This polaroid is fading out.

    Like a house of cards,
    We came crashing down
    And the King of Hearts' heart was never found
    Maybe ten years time, you won't know my name,
    But this is still a love song all the same.

    Hey you, how's this end?
    I know it's kinda selfish but I need a friend
    Little lies, can't survive.

    Hey boy, where'd you go?
    Has your heart got warmer now your beds got cold
    Now I know, you're alone.

    Our favourite song is fading out.

    Like a house of cards,
    We came crashing down
    And the King of Hearts' heart was never found-ound-ound
    Maybe ten years time, you won't know my name,
    But this is still a love song, this is still a love song.

    Maybe ten years time, you won't know my name,
    But this is still a love song all the same.

    They say all good things,
    They must come to an end,
    They say all good things,
    They must come to an end,
    They say all good things,
    They must come to an end,
    All good things must end.

    I’m so tired of playing hide and seek with love
    I won’t close my eyes and count again to 10

    I don’t mind if you take what you need from me
    You always hide but I’m finding it hard to seek
    Oh I spy with my little eye some thing that begins with you
    Oh why are you so hard to find

    I’m so tired of playing hide and seek with love
    I won’t close my eyes and count again to 10
    Sick and tired of playing hide and seek with love
    This time I’m going to hide my heart
    Were you will never find it

    We’ve been here so many times before
    It’s this game that I won’t play
    No I won’t no more
    Oh I spy with my little eye
    Something that ends with you
    Oh why are you so hard to find

    I’m so tired of playing hide and seek with love
    I won’t close my eyes and count again to 10
    Sick and tired of playing hide and seek with love
    This time I’m going to hide my heart
    Were you will never find it

    You won’t find me
    You give it up
    So easily
    I’ve had enough
    It’s my turn to leave
    I won’t be caught
    So easily

    I’m so tired of playing hide and seek with love
    I won’t close my eyes and count again to 10
    Sick and tired of playing hide and seek with love
    This time I’m going to hide my heart
    Where you will never find it

    All the little pieces of my heart
    Flicker as they fall to the ground
    Perfectly askew just how I like
    But you don't need a carry to search them
    I can see them wide on my own
    Perfectly undone just how I like

    Save your scissors
    for they are rusty now
    I don't need a lighthouse
    to try and show me how

    I don't need a lifeboat
    I'm learning how to swim
    It may look like I'm drowning
    But I'm learning how to live
    I don't need your rescue
    for I'm okay now
    I can see the shoreline
    So turn your lifeboat 'round

    Even on my thoughts can be cloudy
    Silver lining's alway inside
    Perfectly unclear just how I like
    And i can get up and seeing a sunrise
    Even in the darkest of the nights
    Perfectly untime just how I like

    Save your scissors
    for they are rusty now
    I don't need a lighthouse
    to try and show me how

    I don't need a lifeboat
    I'm learning how to swim
    It may look like I'm drowning
    But I'm learning how to live
    I don't need your rescue
    for I'm okay now
    I can see the shoreline
    So turn your lifeboat 'round

    Save your scissors
    for they are rusty now
    I don't need a lighthouse
    to try and show me how

    I don't need a lifeboat
    I'm learning how to swim
    It may look like I'm drowning
    But I'm learning how to live
    I don't need your rescue
    for I'm okay now
    I can see the shoreline
    So turn your lifeboat 'round

    There's no smoke
    Without reason
    It’s a sign there's something wrong
    In my lungs
    There's a poison
    I've been breathing in to long

    There's no I,
    No I in we
    And there's no you,
    No you in me
    Cause I've been burned way beyond the third degree

    Cause your words are like gasoline
    You pour on the fire
    And the bridges you burned
    Led to our dreams
    It's just another thing that we lost

    When the spark turned into a flame
    And the flame grew much higher
    And my hope, faith and every last desire
    It's just another thing that we lost in the fire
    Just another thing that we lost

    Ashes fall
    Just like snowflakes
    That are warm against my skin
    You say that we
    Could re-build this
    Wouldn’t know where to begin

    But there's no snow
    And there's no rain
    To hide tears
    To douse these flames
    Cause I've been burned way beyond the third degree

    Cause your words are like gasoline
    You pour on the fire
    And the bridges you burned
    Led to our dreams
    It's just another thing that we lost

    When the spark turned into a flame
    And the flame grew much higher
    And my hope, faith and every last desire
    It's just another thing that we lost in the fire
    Just another thing that we lost

    Chasing, shadows
    Going nowhere
    Going nowhere
    Round in, circles
    Nothing left to say

    Your words are like gasoline
    You pour on the fire
    And the bridges you burned
    Led to our dreams
    It's just another thing that we lost

    When the spark turned into a flame
    And the flame grew much higher
    And my hope, faith and every last desire
    It's just another thing that we lost in the fire
    Just another thing that we lost in the fire
    Just another thing that we lost

    I Wanna Let You In,
    Let Me Introduce You To My Skeletons,
    Get Underneath My Skin,
    We Can Always Dive Into Irrelevance,
    Drive Me Round Their Houses, Find an Open Door,
    Walk Into My Secrets, There is so Much More

    It Could Be Wonderful,
    It Could Be Wonderful,
    We Could Be Vulnerable,
    It Could Be Wonderful

    I Wanna Let You In,
    Through the Looking Glass I'll Show you Everything,
    Would It Be a Sin,
    If I Let You Be My Medicine,
    Drive Me Round Their Houses, Find an Open Door,
    Walk into my Secrets, There is so Much More

    The closer I get to your paper heart
    And the tighter I hold on
    Gently covered in paper cuts
    I’m more stubborn than some
    Your like the first day of winter
    Everyday day of the year
    ‘cause your too scared to let me in
    Never close only near

    I’m just delicate, just a little more delicate
    Than you

    So I lie here ‘till morning
    As you sleep through my tears
    You say crying is like running
    From my hopes and my fears

    I’m just delicate, just a little more delicate
    Than you

    I’m getting tired of trying
    To knock down your walls
    I’m blinded by caring
    But I can see… I will fall

    I’m just delicate, just a little more delicate
    Than you

    So I lie here ‘till morning
    As you sleep through my tears
    You say crying is like running
    From my hopes and my fears

    I’m just delicate, just a little more delicate
    Than you

    I may bruise easily
    And I may break
    This is more than what anyone should take
    So I lie here ‘till morning
    As you sleep through my tears
    You say crying is like running
    From my hopes and my fears

    I’m just delicate, just a little more delicate
    Than you’ll ever be

    I don't care if Monday's blue
    Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too
    Thursday I don't care about you
    It's Friday, I'm in love

    Monday you can fall apart
    Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart
    Thursday doesn't even start
    It's Friday I'm in love

    Saturday you wait
    And Sunday always comes to late
    But Friday never hesitate

    I don't care if Monday's black
    Tuesday, Wednesday, heart attack
    Thursday, never looking back
    It's Friday I'm in love

    Monday, you can hold your hand
    Tuesday, Wednesday, stay in bed
    On Thursday watch the walls instead
    It's Friday I'm in love

    Saturday you wait
    And Sunday always comes to late
    But Friday never hesitate

    Dress up to the eyes
    It's a wonderful surprise
    To see your shoes and your spirits rise
    Throwing out your frown
    And just smiling at the sound
    And as sleek as sheik
    Spinning round and round
    Always take a bit bite
    It's such a gorgeous sight
    To see you eat in the middle of the night
    You can never get enough
    Enough of this stuff
    It's Friday, I'm in love

    I don't care if Monday's blue
    Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too
    Thursday I don't care about you
    It's Friday, I'm in love

    Monday you can fall apart
    Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart
    Thursday doesn't even start
    It's Friday I'm in love

    It's Friday I'm in love
    It's Friday I'm in lo-o-o-ve
    It's Friday I'm in love
    It's Friday I'm in love

    Tell me
    Would of any kind.
    Help me,
    Cause I think I'm going blind.
    All the bridges are burned
    now the pages been turned.
    There's nothing you can say,
    Or do, cause I'm not over you.

    Ohhhhh, I remember how it felt to call you mine.
    All mine, all mind, I remember how we lost the world outside,
    The times we had, the good and bad and how we felt alive
    Ohh, I remember how it felt to call you mine.

    Tell me,
    Why my heart is opened wide,
    Ohhhhh
    There's nothing left to hide,
    Do the flames still burn
    leave the stones unturned.
    Just look there deep inside,
    Of you and tell me what to do.

    Ohhhhh, I remember how it felt to call you mine.
    All mine, yes, I remember how we lost the world outside,
    The times we had, the good and bad and how we felt alive
    Ohh, I remember how it felt to call you mine.

    And it's dark,
    I can't hear your heart,
    And everything is cold,
    And I'm a little lost inside.

    Ohhhhh, I remember how it felt to call you mine.
    All mine, all mind, I remember how we lost the world outside,
    The times we had, the good and bad and how we felt alive
    Ohh, I remember how it felt to call you mine

    When I was a child
    They'd ask me where it hurt
    And wipe the tears from my eyes

    Sure embraces,
    Gentle forehead kisses
    Making sure that I was alright

    As I grew older and the nights grew shorter
    I no longer cared where it hurt

    All I hear is, Whisky Lullabies
    There to cradle me to sleep
    All I hear is, Whisky Lullabies
    There to cradle me to sleep

    Scars they heal in time
    The raw wounds on my mind
    They aren't as easily fixed

    You can't mend what isn't broken
    Kind words are rarely spoken
    In time I will learn this

    But I grow older
    And the nights grow shorter
    Drowning as I sink or swim

    All I hear is, Whisky Lullabies
    There to cradle me to sleep
    All I hear is, Whisky Lullabies
    There to cradle me to sleep

    Sticks and stones they break me to the bone
    Words they cut they will always hurt me

    Please be my saving Grace
    Please be my saving Grace

    How to answer all my prayers

    Please be my saving Grace

    All I hear is, Whisky Lullabies
    There to cradle me to sleep
    And all I hear is, Whisky Lullabies
    There to cradle me to sleep

    Sticks and stones they break me to the bone
    Words they cut, they will always hurt me
    Sticks and stones they break me to the bone
    Words they cut, they will always hurt me
