Athens, Greece 02:39
lyrics
buy track
Brother, give me some water 'cause I can't take the heat I saw everything in forty years but I still got cold feet They say, times are changing and surely that's no crime Athens, Greece is burning and I'm out of time I've known stupid women, I've had hopeless bands Voted for assholes who would crush me with their hands My pocket's empty, brother, give me two lines that rhyme Someone please tell me that I'm in my prime Athens, Greece is burning and I'm out of time Don't you read books, don't make me say that again All that they'll ever give you is cerebral pain Working like horses to save enough for just a dime Athens, Greece is burning and I'm out of time The sun is out, it's laughing at my face Another wasted project of the human race My skin is changing and that's the biggest crime Indifferent and corrupt, sipping their lime Athens, Greece is burning and I'm out of time

Down The Line 03:15
lyrics

I knew I would awaken down the line And now I am awake I'm taking back tomorrow down the line There's loads for me to take I knew I would awaken down the line Though others had their doubts My whispering soul's where I put all my faith It gained strength and it shouts I knew I would awaken down the line And now I am awake I'm taking back tomorrow down the line There's loads for me to take And most of all I'd like to take the road To consciousness and pride But sadly I'm not certified to drive So will you be my ride? I knew I'd finally find you down the line Where everything's OK No extra effort's wasted down the line Guess I'm supposed to stay I really see that part now of myself I'd never let come out The petty darkness of my yesteryear I sure can do without I knew I would awaken down the line And now I am awake I'm taking back tomorrow down the line There's loads for me to take It's easy to give in to blinding lights And sirens of the past So obviously I'll need you down the line You better make it fast

The Rumour 04:48
lyrics

There's a rumour in this town Killer babies, old men drown I've been sleeping half my life And all of my time is misspent I dream that I'm still heaven-sent It's easy sometimes to pretend That you're normal and content For all of my peers set aside For all of my friends that've died I will be singing for all of you, I swear, tonight There's a white noise in my mind Little blind girl, right behind Mama's junior, born to die I thought I belonged to the stars I hate all my visible scars And all the dictators and czars Couldn't help me find my way 'Cause I saw my dreams get destroyed My soul crawling into a void And everyone near me annoyed Sad and wasted day by day

If I Had A Friend 03:50
lyrics
buy track
If I had a friend I would not be lonely If I had someone around me I would seize my days So will you be my friend? Cuz I really like you Can you keep good company To my most peculiar ways? If I had a friend, would you be that friend? I promise to be sweet and loving with you all the time If you sign this paper that says that you're mine If I had a friend... If I had a friend I would not be ruthless I would floss, recycle Cook and clean up every day So if you fancy me You can be that person It takes one to write the songs But it takes two to play

Gee 02:52
lyrics

Another song in G Another place to be A magic harmony Don't need your sympathy Another tiny pea Another sight to see Who'll write my eulogy? Who'll pay my doctor's fee? Random acts of kindness And bitterness with violence Pressed on my hole, they depress my soul Feeling of togetherness Lighter than a feather, yes I'm in control, don't ignore my call Another lullaby Another friend walks by Another gutless try Another lonely sigh Another song in G I live in my TV Noone surprises me A perfect anarchy

Don't fight it Don't fight it How could you live without it? Don't hate it Don't hate it You gladly helped me made it It's growing It's growing It's not afraid of showing So don't fight it Don't fight it How could you live without it? You need it You need it Be careful when you feed it It won't bite It won't bite If you just treat it alright It likes you It likes you It's near you and it psyches you You need it You need it Be careful when you feed it Poor baby Poor baby The word I meant was "maybe" I'm phony You're phony My canvas meets Dione I had no Intention Of losing your attention Poor baby Poor baby The word I meant was "maybe"

After All 03:06
lyrics

After all said and done After we stopped being one And all the light from your sun just died away After all the confusion Your illusion stayed with me every day After all the frustration In a cold situation I went down on my knees and closed my eyes Couldn't handle the truth And served myself such a pretty pack of lies That you probably happened for a reason Changing seasons in one day But I still can't believe you chose to leave me With nothing to say Memories of lust and laughter Do I know what I'm after? When the clocks laugh at my big solid plan Who will do the cheerleading And the dirty work for this troubled man? And you probably...

Of Flossing And Plumbing 02:42

This is a tale of flossing and plumbing I'd like to sing it to the rest of the world Can you feel the pain of Phil It fills me with great sadness Feel the pain of Phil Can you feel Can you feel the pain of Phil It breaks my heart with madness Feel the pain of Phil Will/Can he heal?

The brightest star you'll be If you believe in yourself If you believe in yourself Your dark side will be free If you believe in yourself Do you believe in yourself? Children play in the yard You used to be one of them You used to be one of them Sun is hitting them hard You used to be one of them You used to be just like them Duty won't track you down If you stay true to your dreams If you stay true to your dreams (You'll be) the talk of the town If you stay true to your dreams You can stay true to your dreams All your secrets will shine You got to be strong enough You got to be strong enough All the moons will align If you can be strong enough You got to be strong enough Let me show you how To be Safe from all these clouds To be Find a better way To be Starting from today Just be

10 Minutes 02:43

You got 10 minutes to heal your itchy heart You got 10 minutes to make a sickly start Another lover, another fairytale You got 10 minutes to get out of this jail Don't risk your privilege, don't make the same mistake Your fizzy present, you're too afraid to shake You need your servants, you love your credit card Nobody woke you when "very soft" got "hard" 10 minutes

Probably There 03:25
lyrics
buy track
Be yourself, have your say Sing a song every day Don't succumb to the load that you bear Don't give up or give in Though your chances are thin Don't lose sight of that dream of the fair And your trip won't come cheap Certain things may get you down In the end you'll shake hands with the clown Keep it real, don't let go Trust all those in the know What you're looking for's probably there Don't you stray from your goal Learn to love every role It's a lost art, a gift you must share And if love is delayed And your hopes start to fade Take a breath and let down your long hair Oh I know it is dark now And your feet are getting cold Ageing trails of a joy bought and sold Keep it real, don't let go Trust all those in the know

November 30, 2015

This is my new album! Just a tiny, rather random, collection of tunes out of my many more summer ideas. Music was written between July and September. Lyrics were put down in October. I recorded it in November. I hope you enjoy! Support in any way you can, this is only the beginning...
