lyrics

I know you don’t want to be here
But can you let it all go?
Is it worth the aggravation?
Is this the fine line that we tow?
You could step up again
But really what’s the point
Armies make their move at sundown
One more saviour left to anoint

We see that desperation
Behind every one of your jokes
She was definitely here for a reason
In a few years write it off as just another hoax
Maybe we’ll all match tomorrow
Maybe we’ll put our heads down
Struggle to regain control of the vessel
Before the women and children drown

Could this all work without us
Would the motor still turn over in our absence
Will the moon fire rage on
Will we still awake at dawn
To find just a framework of all that we had once
Pulled apart and carefully numbered
Until the next one too becomes blurred

We all know you tried your best
Put on a brave face and battled the sponsors
But your defences were badly out gunned
Your supporters kept hidden and then unleashed all your monsters
A half baked, compromise barely realised
To the sound of thunderous applause
No matter how you tried to bait them
They wouldn’t give you your ending they loosened the laws

This all barely worked before us
And the motor was just fine in our absence
The moon fires were all our imagination
We wake cold and alone at the station
To find just a framework of all that we had once
Pulled apart and carefully stacked
Until the next one too becomes blurry and cracked

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
