All about sales, slogans and observations of a night time commuter

lyrics

You step out from the subway
single file there's scaffolding
weary ears are filled with sounds
from car horns to a telephones ring
the voices mix with smoke
it's as if the earth is on fire
it billows up and over head
chokes the birds off the wire

and I think I'd like it if I was them
knowing I could fly away
but choosing to stay

you keep the same routine
yet everyone you see is new
with dogs it's hard to keep the pavement clean
no matter what the owners do
six doughnuts and you get six free
as if six wasn't enough for anyone
six seems quite a lot to me
but I never see the store without a line a mile long

Well I guess a deals a deal
that's the way they want to see it
that's the way they want to play
At this point I'm so tired I can't tell if this is real
either walk at a decent pace
or get the hell out of my way

the bulldogs are out again
it's the same dogs as always
but always a different walker
and at the corner cafe
it seems that every pretty girl
has her own private stalker
free pick up and free delivery
we wouldn't want you
to have to raise a finger
it's a wonder these days
anything gets done
when there are so many places
for us all to linger

but I guess this seals the deal
that's the way we want to see it
that's the way we want to play
at this point there's no layers left to peal
so either say your piece or
get the hell out of my way

there's something for everyone
on the street vendor stalls
that litter this well worn
neighbourhood
from bootleg dvds
to knock off sunglasses
and dirty magazines
but none of them
I suspect will do you any good

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
