Originally written as a soundtrack for a mate to use in his video work, this was really just an excuse for me to play my guitars really loudly.

Darkness

Armed & Dangerous by Dark Company.
Album: Signmaker

ARMED & DANGEROUS
In the circus there’s a uniform for fun
The love they got is fired from clownish guns
But it’s so dangerous
Armed laughter changing us
Warmed up with a yellow paper sun

Each act in line comes right in on cue
Bringing our emotions into view
And it’s so dangerous
Armed laughter changing us
Next time bring your mind along with you

There’s a pistol in my smile
It shoots grins for miles and miles
But look into my eyes
The reflection’s saying goodbye

Outside the ring we sit and blankly stare
Nobody but our own selves in the chair
But it’s so dangerous
Armed laughter changing us
Close your eyes and no-one knows you’re there

With animals such tricks are neatly made
They nod and wink in terminal parade
It’s oh so dangerous
Armed laughter changing us
Into their souls we think we can invade

There’s a pistol in my smile
It shoots grins for miles and miles
But look into my eyes
The reflection’s saying goodbye

Fun Facts:
* This song is very closely related to The Joker as they both share the same tune in the verses.
* George considered this tune-sharing conundrum a challenge and set about making this song and The Joker appear to not be all that similar after all.
* The original guitar parts came from a groove that George wrote whilst living in Plymouth.
* The tempo is 150BPM.
* When Sammi first heard this song, she sat and thought for a moment, then suddenly said: “I think here it should go like this,” and played the instrumental flute parts.
* During this recording we discovered that giggling and playing the flute are reasonably incompatible activities due to one’s inability to form the correct shape with one’s lips to blow anything resembling music from the silvery pipe.
* It took three or four weeks of visits and prolonged outbreaks of the giggles all round before Sammi finally nailed the parts.
* This was the most joyously memorable aspect of the entire recording of the Signmaker album.
* The 12-string was made by Melody.
* George acquired it by swapping a pair of jeans with ripped knees for it, a deal with which he was most chuffed.
* Some years later the guitar was destroyed by the boot of a drunken Satan’s Slave at an Ug Brothers after-show party (harumph).
* Jeff borrowed the soprano sax from Chrissie and recorded his parts before becoming a more permanent Dark Company member.
* The bass for Armed & Dangerous had already been recorded when he arrived.
* Guitars were plugged straight into the desk.
* George used the lyrics for this song in a fiendishly difficult English lesson when working as a TEFL teacher.
* When he ran seminars for other TEFL teachers on The Use of Music in the Classroom he would set the lesson’s tasks to groups of teachers, and even they would struggle with it.
* Pete wrote this song about the circus and enforced jolliness.
* George felt that it was about the unwanted and resented child whose role in life was to be its parent’s performing monkey, e.g. “aren’t I clever because isn’t my little Johnny clever”.
* To correctly spell the title of this song, an ampersand must be used.
* George and Jeff each produced a dub remix of this song, available as bonus tracks.
* Thus it came about that the ampersand would be used for & co, the remixing arm of the Dark Company project.

Dark Company: Armed & Dangerous

004 Shine On

This piece, number 24, started off inspired by Black Heart Procession, but then traveled through Gravenhurst and latter day Nick Cave. Once again, it's a bit dark.
Becca Allen joined in on backing vocals and autoharp.

The Junction

Going down to Charing Cross.
Gonna see my old boss.
Gotta a package to deliver,
Somewhere across the river.


In the back of some old gaff,
Where they keep things under wraps.
Gotta meet a bloke called Jerry -
Maybe dodgy, maybe very.


Gotta get my motor running,
Gotta get back over town.
Gotta get my engine gunning
Something is going down.


Lost on the streets of London,
Running red lights through Camden.
It’s hard for my brain to function
When it’s gone up the junction.


I gotta get back east,
See the beauty and the beast.
She lives up by the common,
Such a sweet loving woman.


Gotta get my motor running,
Gotta get back over town.
Gotta get my motor running…
It’s hard for my brain to function
When it’s gone up the junction.

FASTER
music by Neville, Jezus
lyrics by Collingwood

Gotta go, you have to leave now
Bein’ followed, you’re on the edge how
Did they catch up you don’t know
Still you will be lyin’ low

Y’know about the conspiracy
Why, ya have your own theory
They’re onto you to say the least
They ring your phone and bribe your priest

Check ’round the corner,
Take a looksee in the bin
They can be hidin’ or
Grillin’ yar next of kin
The envelopes R ready
They’re goin’to be mailed ( now!! )
You’ll plant a time capsule
In case they’ll fail ( how?! )

Laughin’ at you, they’re well happy
Paranoid mind makes you well snappy
Suspicious thoughts’re gett’n stranger
They closing in on you ever faster

Check ’round the corner…

HOLIDAYS
(Neville)

Hopin' for a better day
An'lookin' for an excuse
Why the people tolerate
So much fuckin' abuse

Poverty on the outskirts
Skyscrapers in downtown
Postcards, sunshine, happiness
Stripy tents with old clowns

So let the family hit the road
Let'em 'cross the state-line
Lemme show'em how we live
An'ev'rything that ain't mine

The souvenir selfies taken
An'the landmarks have been seen too
Walkin' thru the museums
They all obliged to see you

Around the globe, visit all the places
Avoiding the alley-ways, ne'r seen no crazies
High on a mountain or deep in the ocean
Can't find your place so you'r in motion

Airport transfer to the hotel
Ev'rything is just fine
The dinner was a weekly wage
And you just sipped some red wine

Stacks of tickets, napkins, soap
Know they'll be going home with you
Share it on the Internet
It's something that we all do

Endless sand or massive boulders
No traffic lights at junctions
There's no tarmac, no res'rooms
An' the police have no functions

Raked-in-cash from charity
Ten-bucks-per-carate diamonds
You can rent a slut as well
They offered camels for my blonde

Around the world within a few hours
Swerving reality, never heard no cries
Splendid spa and friendly handshakes
Lots of people are charming snakes

Not so far, east, back in Europe
It's kinda like the wild west
Taken to the cleaners
By the corruption you digest

Every single host think
Their culture was the first one
If you disagree with them
You just ought to be gone

Back at home, no story tellin'
Spared it being on-line
Wheel'n'deal a li'l while
Think where you'll go next time

Before the borders R rearranged
And some countries R torn apart
Hot, exotic Holidays "R" Us
Let's hope there'll be a Walmart

Dark

Lyrics:
When you opened your eyes
There was nothing to see
You always worried
That was how it should be
All the times that you listened
You couldn’t understand
Why nothing would stay
As you had planned

There’s something you’re missing
It passes you by
You still catch glimpses
Behind the eyes
The dreams they have meaning
Of that you don’t doubt
But you never remember
What they’re about

There is one constant
You’ll never forget
The things that don’t kill you
You live to regret
And it all starts with something
A flicker of light
Then it fades quickly
Into the night

Behold (Excerpt)

This is my debut EP.
All songs are written, recorded, performed, mixed and mastered by myself.

Feel free to leave a comment what you think about it.

Those Were The Days

It’s a song about struggle, might it be personal, relational or political. That’s up for the listener to decide. Even though I like writing diferent kind of music I would label this song “A catchy modern pop-tune with folk influences and rooted in late 70’s punk-scene”.

"& you won't hear from me
should the sadness occur
I will not be seen
so hurt
should the sadness occur

all in a time, I felt divine
shoulders & spine
once in my life, learned how to fly
despite being blind

& you won't hear from me
should the sadness occur
I will not be seen
so hurt
should the sadness occur

then I won't feel a thing
if it's sadness you bring
you won't hear a thing
I sing
should the sadness come sting

smile I may, some other way
how freedom reigns
once upon times, I soared through your sky
to spite being grounded

& you won't hear from me
should the sadness occur"

Stoney and 3D wrote this song, I really liked the original and reading the comments someone had mentioned it would be interesting how it sounded with more rhythm guitar, got me thinking, yeah remix.. the guys said yes, obviously. I just got a Telecaster, 1st ever so I thought I'd try it on a partial rehearsed solo :-)and did some extra rhythm guitar too.

I love Stoney's voice and 3D's piano on this, very glad to have got a version down. Check out their collaboration project https://soundcloud.com/keepthefear

When I was young
I was so dumb and numbed
To this world.

I've seen my life spiralling down
I felt so dead inside and out
So run down
So run down 
So run down

I was on the wrong path and I knew it wouldn't last 

I've seen my life spiralling down
I felt so dead inside and out

I know I can change
Deter myself from the old ways

I've seen my life spiralling down
I felt so dead inside out
So run down
So run down
So run down

Run Down

Thank you so very much Lawrence!!!!!!!!!!!

Intro
Lara
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm not where I wanna be
V1
I guess we are where we wanted to be
But sometimes just where we wanted to be is not just the place where we wanna be
I wanna be with you
Sometimes you're not where you want to be, where you want to be yeah
Sometimes we're just in our destiny, in our destiny, yeah
V2
Walking a dangerous line, in a world without love
Sometimes you don't want to be, alone in a crowd anymore
Walking a dangerous line, and you're paying the price
But you don't want to be alone in love anymore....anymore, anymore
Bridge
Sometimes love is worth the pain
Lead 1
Sometimes love is worth the pain
And I'm feeling it time and time again
Bridge
V3
I couldn't be bothered, staying in this place
I couldn't be bothered
I wanna head in your direction, I wanna give you my affection baby
I wanna head your way, I don't wanna be here any more
I only wanna stay with you

Why did I have to meet you?
Why did I have to fall in love with you?
Yeah, yeah.....................
Outro
My world is caving in
What is life without you?
What is life without you?
What is life without you?
What is life without you?
What is life without you?
Nothing at all, nothing at all, nothing at all.....
What is life without you?
What is life without you?
What is life without you?
Nothing at all......................................................
What is life without you?
What is life without you?
Nothing at all
