Lucille's Gotta Go Back Home

  

The fourth single of Fleming's upcoming album is out now.

In it Fleming returns to a character who has popped up twice before in songs in the last decade.
"Lucille's first adventure was in Edge of the City's Recent Hire. She left Auckland in a hurry - a trail of wreckage in her wake. Then she popped up a couple of years later in Philadelphia in Lucille on the To Hell With These Streets album, but as a missing person. That song was narrated by a barman answering questions given by a privatedetective her father had employed. 
"Last year, when I wrote this record, I started wondering what might've happened to her. She'd be in her late twenties now. Would she ever come back home? Did she get clean? Could her mother and father ever forgive her? This song is the result."
