No Matter How Small (Bonus Track)

from Badtime Banjolele (Special Edition) by Miscellaneous Plumbing Fixtures

/

about

A full produced, finished song that I didn’t include in the main 10 of the album because it sounded, to me, too much like previous stuff I have done and I wanted this album to be different.
It was my attempt to write a bit of a political song and it has its moments. I thought it was worth sharing!

lyrics

you can’t hear the shot heard
around the world no more
there’s too many things at once
we’re all meant to hear
and even when we see it
with our own two eyes
that there’s too many lies
we’re just paralysed by fear

there’s marching there’s shouting
the streets are in flame
and no one’s budging an inch
We take any victory
no matter how small
and nothing it seems is
keeping us quiet like it used to do
and we’re all taking pictures
waiting for rome to fall

I’m scratching my head
how can this be
nobody around here
is different to me
we all need the air
we all take tea
the past is not sacred
your traditions are learned
Take a deep breath
before you all get burned

your intolerance makes no sense
your anger and hate doesn’t it
grind you down?
did no one teach you to share
when you were small?
and you’re clutching that book
your knuckles all white
your red face has misread all the meaning
just be concerned with yourself, what others are doing
is not your call

It’s overwhelming
a relentless sea
staining the shore
red as can be
and everyone says
hey don’t look at me
You’re already preaching to
your choir
not every thought your selling
should have a buyer

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
