Lyrics

You were struck by lightning walking in the rain to your car
And when you awoke, the lightning left a beautiful scar
It looked so alive, growing from the base of your spine
And next time I saw you, you were hovering up the hospital drive

Do you believe in extra-terrestrial life? 
Cause I saw something in the sky
All of the nightmares you’ve outrun 
They thought you were done but you’ve only just begun 
  
You were struck by lightning but you don’t talk about it much any more
Something about it sends a little chill to your core
You think it might’ve gone and changed the look of your eye 
You look kind of like a UFO learning to fly

Do you believe in extra-terrestrial life? 
Cause I saw something in the sky
All of the nightmares you’ve outrun 
They thought you were done but you’ve only just begun 

You might think there’s nothing left to lose
But there’s magic in the wounds 

Do you believe in extra-terrestrial life? 
Cause I saw something in your eyes
All of the nightmares you’ve outrun 
They thought you were done but you’ve only just begun 
Only just begun

NEW TUNE CALLED LUSTTTTT 

And from my bed, I call your name
With hand on heart, I feel your pain.
But ive got fathers lies and ive got my mothers smile, and it may some time for you to realise, that I dont wanna go, baby just let me know, baby just let me know. 

Dont call this lust, you only like me cos you know im not fussed, I only call you when im bored at home and I only fancy you when im alone x2

And from my tears,  I watch you cry
Dont ask me how dont ask me why .....

Chorus

Take your head off my pillow, turn you back to the wall

"It's been a long and short four years. Weird Dreams never stopped for me, it just became private. The songwriting was a near constant.

"There's more music to share soon, but starting with 'The Ladder' now feels right, as it was the first song of real difference, and remained unfinished for a few years while I obsessed over an image that I began to pursue as sound on the last Weird Dreams song before this one ('House of Secrets') - the reflections of water on a swimming pool ceiling at night.

"For reasons that are still unclear, this imagined image of light and water moved me in a desperate time, distracting from what felt like the rest of the world falling away." - Doran Edwards, Weird Dreams

Weird Dreams - The Ladder

From the Absence EP
Love vs Fear (16 Sep 2016)
iTunes: hyperurl.co/absenceitunes
CD & vinyl: http://marsicans.bandcamp.com

Saudade, n. portuguese - a feeling of longing, melancholy, or nostalgia

When you're alone in bed
And your whole day plays through your head
Picture me instead
Talk to me, you can talk to me for hours

When it's raining out there
I hope you stay unaware 
Stick with me and we'll share a little time
Seconds, minutes or some hours

So when you can't convey 
Can't find the words to say 
You're feeling Saudade you know 
I'll never be that far away

When you've got too much on 
And everything you're doing feels wrong
Get through 'em one by one
I wish that I, I wish that I could do them for you

Stay in bed all day
Curtains keep the whole world away 
And we can do whatever you want to do 
As long as I, as long as I can do it with you. 

So when you can't convey 
Can't find the words to say
You're feeling Saudade you know
I'll never be that far away

I know you've had your highs
I know you've had your lows
I'll be there by your side
Through all the to's and fro's
Ignore the warning signs
I'll show you how this goes 
If you just shut your eyes
I'll be there for you, love

So when you can't convey
Can't find the words to say 
You're feeling Saudade you know 
I'll never be that far away.

Lyrics:
I wanna see you fight for the hell of it 
Pulling out your knife in the street light 
Shining so dull on the glitter that flickers like lightning 
Bouncing off the back of your blade 

I wanna see some blood on your fingernails 
Clawing at the club lines vanity 
There’s a pretty face in there too smart for her own good 
You’re bound to put her in her place 

And on the short ride home, we’ll k-hole in the taxi 
I don’t wanna feel a thing at all 
I’ve been losing all my lovers 
Is this what you wanted, Madeleine? 

I wanna get fucked up like a holiday 
Spending half my night in the pouring rain 
Oh I wanna numb my fingers and numb my brain 
Til I can’t feel anything at all 

I wanna stay this drunk, wanna celebrate 
Moving bar to bar like a slow parade 
Oh, I wanna ride like lightning and crash like thunder 
Riding down the tracks in our brain 

I got that sick, sick feeling to hurt somebody 
Babe, I think there’s something wrong in my brain 
I’ve been losing all my lovers 
Is this what you wanted Madeleine? 

And the sun has been out since I’ve been coming down 
I don’t know how much more I can take 
I’ve been lost I’ve been found asleep on the couch 
Just waiting for the light to fade 
And I’m trying to work out our wandering doubt 
Oh loving you is hard somedays 

I’ve been losing all my lovers is this what you wanted, Madeleine?

Madeleine - Single

Madeleine

My Noel liked Sundays and the paper
And painting in the kitchen
Daytime television

My Noel left a lifetime in the rear view
Now I’m driving without someone to talk to

My Noel and all your spells, you’re all I need
And my someone to talk to in the morning
Walk to in the morning

My Noel left a white sheet in the garden
And her glasses on the mantel
A flicker in the candle

My Noel like a sunbeam looking just right
In the bona fide and beautiful morning light

My Noel and all your spells, you’re all I need
And my someone to talk to in the morning
Walk to in the morning

Noel in the Garden

You appeared
Like jewels hung where water meets the sky 
Like ripples dancing over burning sand
A rag tag bunch of rascals, home to roost
Each one of you making waves in your own way

I found it here 
Among sunflowers and tangled in wisteria
Ringing through the halls of our old home 
Glitra left in places I will never ever reach

Framing life in squares
We’re tied up in triangles
Your mind is yours not mine
But we see the same pictures
We paint them in circles

I see us there 
Ten years on and still we’re back again
We’ll be staring the night down
Holding our hands out
 
Framing life in squares
We’re tied up in triangles
Your mind is yours not mine
But we see the same pictures
We paint them in circles

Framing life in squares
We’re tied up in triangles
Your mind is yours not mine
But we see the same pictures
We paint them in circles
