Lou Reed/Silver Jews vibes in the verse, nice touch with the doo-doo-doos, you're on a roll friend

Hums Like A Cat
by Anton Etch 2021 
- a rough demo from the 'Simple & Strange' series -

Time moves - away from you
Falling - endlessly
Hard times
change the way you see the world
      
I know the beginning
and I know the end
I've guessed the meaning
and seen sufferin'
We could worry
about this or that
If something's workin', 
it hums like a cat

Time is - and always was
Passing - patiently
Hard times
change the way we see the world

When someone comes to you
bearing gifts old and new
Don't ask
"Who the hell are you?"

I know the beginning
and I know the end
I've guessed the meaning
and seen sufferin'
We could worry
about this or that
If something's workin', 
it hums like a cat

If you take everything away, 
the sea, the sky - even the day
All you have
in the end
is Time

Feel the silence... and the space
Feel the shadow move across your face
Hear the time tickin'
tickin' in its
place

I know the beginning
and I know the end
I've guessed the meaning
and seen sufferin'
We could worry
about this or that
If something's workin', 
it hums like a cat

I'M NO HERO
I'd swap no MBE for money
Don't need to cuz I'm far too cunning
Dragged your body from the river

CHORUS
But I know that you know that I know
I know that you know that I'm no
I'm no hero

Sold the photo that showed you dying
And the photo of me crying
As I dragged you from the river

CHORUS

I didn't mean it
Shhh! I never liked you
Faked the rescue and faked the sorrow

CHORUS

I'm No Hero

Halfway To Hades

Max was kind enough to send me his I've got this Knife vocal track and let me play with it to do a new #VeryVolcana thingamagigger.

To Take Your Life

To Take Your Life ( Dirty MAX voice samples)

words and music K Gennery

A song inspired by one of my favourite tv programmes, BBC's detectorists.

Words:
Fly on a recce surveying for clues,
a reflection or a sparkle, means the world to you.
Then you swoop down and take it and hide it up high,
a treasure trove of goodies, sway in the sky. 
And we all know.

Sunlight is your accomplice in tandem you toil,
hour after hour, through bush, grass and soil.
Probing for that moment, discover like no other,
decades lay unfound, riches abound.

What you need is shimmering, all kinds of precious things,
like rubys and diamond rings they all catch your eye.
And when you see it glimmering, all kinds of pretty things,
you have to stop never pass on by....magpie.

When you find your rainbow,
with it's own crock of gold.
Keep it to yourself secrets never to be told.
And I'll pop on my top hat and tip it towards you,
a gesture for tradition somewhat long forgotten.

What you need is shimmering, all kinds of precious things,
like rubys and diamond rings they all catch your eye.
And when you see it glimmering, all kinds of pretty things,
you have to stop never pass on by....magpie.
