Over the past three decades, Tim Burgess has honed a lyrical style that is equal parts searing, elusive, and raw. Brimming with nods to an eclectic array of influences, ranging from French chanson to East Coast rap, his words offer vivid snapshots of modern life, its highs and lows, and the ways we navigate through it. For the first time, Tim's collected lyrics are accompanied by his revealing commentary, featuring backstage anecdotes, advice on how to conjure up the music muse, poignant reflections, and insight into a very idiosyncratic songwriting process.

One Two Another chronicles the evolution of Tim's songwriting and unveils the method behind the madness. Tim Burgess is a crusader and vinyl's epic voyager. He knows why pop's art, a culture, and a cure. Learn and listen. He knows good things.

Johnny Marr says, "You can't feel blue around Tim. He makes you feel happy, not just about music but about life. Even the most cynical of souls (mine) become infected by his gorgeous energy. Plus, he gives good vinyl."

Sharon Horgan adds, "Tim Burgess is a musical alchemist. He makes magic with words and melodies, taking us on a journey through the highs and lows of life. His music is a beacon of hope and positivity, and his vinyl collection is a treasure trove of rare and beautiful records. I am honored to call him a friend and a fellow music lover."
