Ever since I heard Pink Floyd's "Money" that song hook has been embed in my brain. Money is a constant chip on my shoulder as an indie musician but the passion and love of music makes it all worthwhile. What can I say like the Pusher Man said -  I mean bank manager said: "In God We Trust The Rest Pay Cash".

This is another early recording on the Fostex left in the vault. The usual technique of improvising a vocal to a chord progression and dubbing in bass and a lead - mixed raw and only once...

Better to Fade Away than to Rust?...or rust than to Fade Away?  

Fade Away

How come sometimes you never know
What you lost until it's gone
Seem's the best things in life
Just fade away on their own

I have been so down
since you left me
I never knew how much I loved
Everything about you sent me
To a place where I was better off

Get up and I go to work
And try and get myself through another day
But every time I think about you
A tear just crawls down the side of my face

How come the letters I sent you
Come back with no address stamped
I hope my thoughts can find you
And you are with some peaceful mind

Fade Away

Ombre ou lumière
Paradis et enfer
Calme ou colère
Tout et son contraire
Mystère
Mes endroits à l’envers
Exaspèrent
A faire
Leurs étés en hiver
Pour vous plaire
Pour vous plaire.

De coeur ou de chair
Âme fragile et légère
Saint ou pas clair
Tout droit ou d’travers
Mystère
Mes plaisirs solitaires
Sont pervers
Pour faire
De mes voeux une prière
Et vous plaire
Et vous plaire.

De plénitude en pleine guerre
Incertitudes et savoir-faire
Des grands écarts à l’ordinaire
J’ai pris tout l’art et les manières.

Business et affaire
Mielleux ou sincère
Ange et vipère
D’ l’avant sans arrières
Mystère
Mes coups droits en revers
Sont amers
Pour faire
D’un jardin, un désert
Sans vous plaire
Sans vous plaire.

De plénitude en pleine guerre
J’ai su cacher tous mes mystères
Et d’ignorance en savoir-faire
J’ai pris tout l’art et les manières.

Cool ou vulgaire
Un fruit prit de ver
En paix et en guerre
Sobre ou bien d’équerre
Mystère
Mes bons plans
De misère
Sont galères
Pour faire d’un novice
Un expert
Et déplaire
Et déplaire

De plénitude en pleine guerre
J’ai su cacher tous mes repères
Et d’ignorance en savoir-faire
J’ai pris tout l’art et les manières.
De plénitude en pleine guerre
Incertitudes et savoir-faire
Des grands écarts à l’ordinaire
J’ai pris tout l’art et les manières

IF ROCK N ROLL IS ON MY MIND
I GET LOST IN A CLOUD OF SOUND

IT'S A MAGICAL WORLD OF MYSTERY
THIS IS LIFE ACROSS THE BIG BLUE SEA

IT'S A LONG WAY TO BE FROM HOME
NO WIND IN SAIL COULD TURN TO STONE

SAVE ME, (FROM THE EDGE OF THE WORLD)
SAVE ME, (EDGE OF THE WORLD)
FROM THE WRONG SIDE, THE WRONG SIDE, WITH LOVE

THERE'S NO CREDIT ON THIS TINY SHIP
A ONE TICKET A HALF WAY RIDE

GOT THAT ROCK N ROLL ON MY MIND
I'VE OPENED MY EYE'S TO A CLEARER SOUND

SAVE ME, (FROM THE EDGE OF THE WORLD)
SAVE ME, (EDGE OF THE WORLD)
FROM THE WRONG SIDE, THE WRONG SIDE, OF THE WORLD

TightEighties - Better Luck Next Time

Well having heard a most beautiful little acoustic guitar ditty by Philip Bridle the other day, both his music and the title of Kintsukuroi instantly inspired me to write some lyrics and sing along to it. 

Kintsukuroi is a Japanese form of art of mending broken pottery in an artistic way. The end result of how it is mended had many people breaking their valuable pieces just so it could be repaired with its new artistic look and appearance.

To make Phil's great music work for the way I wanted to approach it. I decided to chop it up a bit and glue it back together in my own artistic way so I could make it more comfortable for the verses to work as a song. 

Because I liked the subject matter that much I very much decided to keep the title and write the words around it all. I have to admit my pronunciation of the word "Kintsukuroi" is not how it is supposed to be, but it worked better for me in a folky way. So I apologise to all my Japanese friends.

I would like to thank Phil for igniting the spark with his beautiful piece of music and I hope you all enjoy....

Kintsukuroi.  (Music by Philip Bridle/Words by Lee Lucas).

Lee Lucas - Vocals - Artwork & Mix.
Philip Bridle - Acoustic Guitar.

You can find more of Phil's great music here: https://soundcloud.com/philipbridle/tracks

The song has been made available as a free digital download  @ Bandcamp here: https://leelucas.bandcamp.com/track/kintsukuroi

The lyrics are as follows:

The broken pieces shatter
and crumble on the floor
that precious piece held history
from where it stood before

Somewhere in that moment
there's a spark that lights a flame
a certain passion, creativeness
ignites inside her brain 

She gathers up the pieces
to rebuild them once again
assembling generations
with every piece she starts to mend

She sprinkles in some gold dust
adds her own artistic touch
mixes it with lacquer
and applies it with a brush

(Break)

That little piece of history
now stands back on the shelf
restoring generations
she did all by herself
By herself.

Kintsukuroi
Kintsukuroi...
Oh Kintsukuroi...

Please find time to leave comments to which are always very well appreciated and many thanks for listening.

What a treat it is to "blues" it up again with my friend Tom Adams.
Tom provides all the music for this one but his lead guitar makes this one happen.

EARTHQUAKE IN ME (The Lyrics)
Intro

1 Verse
I had a time without her.
Quiet like the deep sea.
Then she entered my life.
Everything was different from now on.

Pre-Chorus
She cause an earthquake in me.

2 Verse
Her gaze was pure sin.
Her walk weighs so smoothly.
In my dreams - I lose myself in her.
I will do anything for her.

Pre-Chorus
She cause an earthquake in me.

Bridge
I´m losing -
Yes - I`m losing my mind - over her!

Pre-Chorus
She cause an earthquake in me.

Bridge
I´m losing -
Yes I`m losing my mind - over her!

A woman like an earthquake.
A woman hotter than lava.
A dance on the volcano - more dangerous than ever.

Outro
A dance on the volcano -
She causes earthquakes in me!

EXISTENTIAL NOMADSLAND (the art of not Being-There)
The troubadour is singing his heart out
Every word a meaningful line
Strumming his guitar with a
Flowing silk scarf around his wrist
A token from his Lady, perhaps

The Mad Max Community architecture
Testament to the New Age
Recycled and Repurposed with
Right-on awareness and intent
This community of love and
Sharing and caring

Wanders aimlessly staring blankly
A Zombie community doing it right
Too Cool to listen to the Troubadour
They hang, posed listless in the green juice
And vegan burger graffiti painted
Urban community night..... yeah

EXISTENTIAL NOMADSLAND (The Art of not Being There)

Hurricane

The first song I've composed, music and lyrics, and sung from start to finish.  All instruments and vocals apart from drums, and the first set of lyrics I've written for one of my tracks.  A song about youthful idealism and its consequences.

Download available here.  https://delorangeade.bandcamp.com/track/roses-in-the-snow-original

I woke before the dawn, 
To the sound of my screams. 
Daylight clarity, 
Reality, 
No refuge from my dreams. 

We rose before the dawn, 
To meet our destiny, 
Arise, 
And realise, 
The truth will set us free. 

I see the faded photographs, 
Remember how we used to laugh, 
Running in the rain. 
Were we ever once so young? 
How could we have been so wrong? 
Will we meet again? 

I woke before the dawn, 
And dressed in funeral black, 
Dry my eyes, 
Pray forgiveness for the lies, 
I can’t take back. 

I see the faded photographs, 
Remember how we used to laugh, 
Dancing in the rain. 
We were much too young to know, 
Your blood like roses in the snow, 
Will we meet again? 

I broke before the dawn, 
To the sound of my screams. 
Concrete cell, 
They made me tell, 
The death of our dreams. 

I see the faded photographs, 
Remember how we used to laugh, 
Singing in the rain. 
We believed too much too young, 
Did you hear the bullet’s song? 
Will we meet again?

堪えているうちに 
なんだかどうでもよくなってゆく

麻痺してて そのうち生き甲斐に
それも悪くはないよな

ただ不満で 羨ましくて
世の中が恨めしくて

傷つけて 嫌われて
元に戻れなくて

消しても消しても消えない痛みの
それは擦れてもっと痛くて
疲れた体と目と耳を塞ぐ
イヤフォンときれいな景色だ

頼ってばかりで甘えてばかりで
本当にごめんな
いつか笑えるかな
Uh...

車の窓から見える緑と
暗い青空がとてもきれいだ
まだやる事沢山あるから
一服したらまた頑張ろう

Little Peace

Floraison
 
Morne saison
nulle floraison
aucun chant

Dans la serre tout en fleurs
(je) cueille des fleurs (je) cueille des fleurs
fraîches
fraîches
Dans la serre tout en fleurs
sur ce lit de mousse mon cœur
recompose-toi (recompose-moi)
 
Je te serre
Tu me serres
Je te cueille
Tu me cueilles
Je t'effleure
Tu m'effleures
Rêche
 
Ce sursaut épouse tes peurs
surexpose-toi
Ce sursaut épouse mes peurs
surexpose-moi
 
Dans la serre tout en fleurs
dans mon (ton) cercueil tant de fleurs
sèches
sèches
Dans la serre tout en fleurs
sur ce lit s'émousse mon (ton) corps
décompose-moi (décompose-toi)
 
Morte raison
nulle oraison
juste un chant
juste un son

Flowering
 
Dismal season
no flowering
no singing
no sound
 
In the greenhouse
all blossoming
I/you gather fresh, fresh flowers
In the greenhouse
I/you gather fresh, fresh flowers
on this bed of moss my sweetheart
recompose yourself/myself
 
I hold you, you hold me
I pick you/you pick me
I touch you/ you touch me
harsh
 
This start mirrors your fears
overexposes you
This start mirrors my fears
overexposes me
 
In the greenhouse picking fresh, fresh flowers
this foam bed my sweetheart
recompose yourself/myself
In the greenhouse all in bloom
In my/your coffin so many dry, dry flowers
In the greenhouse
all is blossoming
on this bed my body wilts
 
Dead reason
hopeless prayer
just a song
just a sound
