about

A song written when I returned from North Carolina. I am not sure what it's about or what it means, I just know it meant something when I wrote it.

lyrics

corner store
I'm glad it's 24 hour
a loaded pistol
the mood is sour
a magazine
it should be you on the cover
just hold the hood
and keep the
engine turning over

It's like I'm inside
out on the island
let's see if there's a beat
down in the heartland
it's in the little details
the fact and
what's imagined
I'll bet the mortgage
you wish it
could've happened
to you

It's the initial release
the breath escapes
between your fingers
the film you start to
edit behind your eyes
with the words of
better singers
that just keep falling
out of tiny little speakers

I want to stand
behind the water
hardly hear a thing
until this party's over
everything I've read
says this place could
not be better
let's order in and
put ourselves together
again

keep your head down
switch off your thoughts
no one likes a whiner
no one likes to get caught
close it off
that's why they sell headphones
no one likes a winner
please just leave it alone

there's nothing in there
worth saving
you would do yourself
a favour
if you bothered shaving
I hear the myth
it doesn't bare repeating
if that is what it's come to
I'm glad we're over heating

Songwriting and banging your instruments together

The main thing I love to do is write songs. I pick up various instruments from ukulele to piano, accordion to percussion and electric guitar to harmonica and bang them about to try and get close to the noises I hear in my head but the writing comes first. ... more
