Fuse

Cause it's new,
She'll dance for you,
In a trance and you,
And your star will fuse,
But she'll dance for you,

She's going out to spend her money for,
There's a sound that she has heard before,
How she would do anything for your smile,
Her summer colours go back 'til way back when,
There was a time when you would be a trend,
With a picture of you upon with your smile,

And it's true,
She'll dance for you,
In a trance and you,
And your star will fuse,
But she'll dance for you,

He can see a hole in me,
I'll never be good enough in my eyes,
Wherever you go I'll follow,
Whatever you say I'll borrow,
You'll see me practising with your smile,

And it's true,
She'll dance for you,
In a trance and you,
And your star will fuse,
But your style is new,

And it's true,
She'll dance for you,
In a trance and you,
And your star will fuse,
But she'll dance for you.

Over My Head lyrics:
With ridiculous thoughts in my head,
I really believe that I want to be read,
as a speaker for my brain,
and I'm taking on pain as a form of comfort,

Now I've learned that the light has turned off,
I'm taking out the pain and I'm really turned on,
my love has lost her mind,
and she's getting on a plain,
she'll be on Mars,

Chorus:
But now I'm leaning on myself,
I wish it was the way I feel,
still I finally have to say,
that your standing in my way x 2
talking to myself now once again.

With energy in our blood,
we'll run for a place and we'll lose for no one,
still the same and it's the same old thing,
if you'd rather wear a tie than lose your mind,

take your place in a daily race and try,
winning everything of what nobody needs now,
all the time I'm losing mine,
and you're moving, you're losing, you're losing nothing,

chorus x 4

Camden Town Hero lyrics:
You go to the city,
to buy yourself some friends,
to brighten up the lights now,
on the Camden streets again,
and they've fallen for you now,
you've fallen down again,
but you won't have no time for this,

Chorus
because you're gonna be a star,
till you realise what you are.

you still want it,
you still need it,
you still want it,
but you can't have it,

tell me do you really believe,
in the things that make them fall to their knees,
when you are telling all your stories of love and cheer,
but you haven't got the soul to relate the things you fear,
you'll be on top of all the world now,

Chorus:
and you're gonna be a star,
till you realise what you are. x 2

Camden Town Hero

Sight and Sound

all I need,
just you and me,
lost within the summer breeze,
and we know something’s deep inside,
now we finally let it go,
I’ve lost and found I’m losing the way,
but you’ll take me somewhere I know,
as we slowly drift into,
another world so calm,
  
all I need,
just you and me,
you and me,
you will be forever received,
when you’re singing your true song,
and I’m indebted to every word,
your mind is worth the time i’ll see,
that you’re the only friend I need,
as we slowly drift into,
another world so calm

Another World

I don't want to hide,
I don't want to lie,
and I want to talk about these things,
you want to give,
you want to help,
you don't want to open up to me,
cause our timings not in sync,
and last orders has been called so,
get another round again,
you don't want to try,
you don't want to live,
and you want to talk about these things,
I want to say,
and I want to take,
and I don't want to open up to you,
cause these things may not be true,
all the time but don't forget to,
get another round again,
bring yourself around and start again,

I don't mind,
cause if you counteract these feelings every time,
I'll take my time,
and with some input/output breathing,
I'll be fine,
and eventually find,
you need to save yourself this time,

get another round again,
bring yourself around again,
bring yourself around and start again.

Last Orders

Vocal based, dreamy pop..

Lyrics:
i'll give you more and more,
then we realise love is all,
time, in time the break will mend,
but it's hard to lose a friend,

knowing we're the same as we are,
wanting us to stay as we are,
knowing it's too late,
to say cause it's too soon,

to give you more and more,
then I realise love is all,
time, time will let me know,
it's hard to let you go,
when everything I see or do,
is beautiful with you,

time, in time the break will mend,
but it's hard to lose a friend,

knowing we're the same as we are,
wanting us to stay as we are,
knowing it's too late,
to say cause it's too soon,



Too Late, Too Soon

Like a Machine Lyrics:

when she walks in to the room,
I hear the words,
but I can't in rhyme,
of all the things that I need to say,
but she's looking straight through me,

cause she knows what I know,
but I know that she don't know,
this ain't the time or place,
and it could hurt me feeling this way,

Chorus:
and as she's walking down to me,
her heart beats like a machine,
and as keeps going down all over me,
my mind feels so unclean,

I wanna let you know again,
I'll walk the mile cause I really like your style,
it's everything you want to see, 
but I can see right through your smile,

cause I know what she knows,
and I know that she don't know,
I'll spend the time you send,
and in the end I'm feeling empty,

Chorus:
and as she's walking down to me,
her heart beats like a machine,
and as she keeps coming down all over me,
my mind feels so unclean,
and as she keeps on walking over me,
my heart beats like a machine,
and as she keeps going down all over me,
her mind feels so unclean,

I hope for silence but I think about you everyday x 2
I hope there's silence but I think about you everyday,

Chorus:
and as she's walking down to me,
her heart beats like a machine,
and as she keeps coming down all over me,
my mind feels so unclean,
and as she keeps on walking over me,
my heart beats like a machine,
and as she keeps going down all over me,
her mind feels so unclean,

I hope for silence but I think about you everyday x 2
I hope there's silence but I think about you everyday,
I hope there's silence but I think about you everyday,

"Downtown"

When you're alone and life is making you lonely
 You can always go downtown
 When you've got worries, all the noise and the hurry
 Seems to help, I know, downtown

 Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
 Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
 How can you lose?
 The lights are much brighter there
 You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares

 So go downtown
 Things will be great when you're downtown
 No finer place for sure, downtown
 Everything's waiting for you

 Don't hang around and let your problems surround you
 There are movie shows downtown
 Maybe you know some little places to go to
 Where they never close downtown

 Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova
 You'll be dancing with 'em too before the night is over
 Happy again
 The lights are much brighter there
 You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares

 So go downtown
 Where all the lights are bright, downtown
 Waiting for you tonight, downtown
 You're gonna be alright now, downtown

 Downtown
 Downtown

 And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you
 Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand to
 Guide them along
 So maybe I'll see you there
 We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares

 So go downtown
 Things will be great when you're downtown
 Don't wait a minute more, downtown
 Everything is waiting for you, downtown

 Downtown (downtown)
 Downtown (downtown)
 Downtown (downtown)
 Downtown (downtown)

Anyway to get there to him,
Images of where she should be,
She knows if he's there or where he's forever going to be,

She's in love,
And it's impossible to steal,
And it's impossible to change the way she feels although you'd like to,
And I'll try..

Subtlety it goes right through me,
Behind the corner I can see the,
Happiness designed forever within the state she's in,

She's in love,
And it's impossible to steal,
And it's impossible to change the way she feels although you'd like to

Anyway to get there to him,
Behind the corner she can see,
Unhappiness designed forever in the state I'm in,
And I'll try..

She's in love,
And it's impossible to steal,
And it's impossible to change the way she feels although you'd like to,
And it's the spinning of the wheel,
And it's impossible to steal,
And it's impossible to change the way she feels although you'd like to,
I'd like too


She's in Love

 When your singing your song,
 I hear soul,
 And each time that you say,
"I'm drifting away"

 When I see in the sound,
 What I've found,
 No happiness instead,
"I'm drifting away"

 I can't believe how you hurt yourself,
 Your sharing your soul, your an open world,
 I can't receive and your hurting yourself,
 Your sharing your soul to an open world

 Take a walk in the sun,
 There's just one,
 And each time that it sets,
 You've missed it again
 
 You seem stuck in the sand,
 It's just land,
 I hope you understand,
 I'm drifting away
 
 I can't believe how you hurt yourself,
 Your sharing your soul, your an open world,
 I can't receive and your hurting yourself,
 Your sharing your soul to an open world"

She's playing with the need to find herself and she,
Doesn't know what she wants herself to be,
Looks around for someone else,
And now your looking for an out again,

Education plays your social class,
But I know she just needs one thing to get her back on her feet

She waits for him,
For comfort and need and the hope of altered reality,
You will control yourself,
For something's in need of the hope of altered reality

Tea for me, 
I need this hope for now

She's looking in between and above herself and she's,
Learning how to love herself and she,
Looks around there's no one else,
And now your playing on your own again

Situation has you dancing for the chance,
And I know you just need one thing to get you back on your feet

She waits there for him,
For comfort and need and the hope of altered reality,
You will control yourself,
For something's in need of the hope of altered reality

Tea for me, 
I need this hope for now,
There's one thing you need,
To get you back on your feet

She waits there for him,
For comfort and need and the hope of altered reality,
You will control yourself,
for something's in need of the hope of altered reality x 2

A Short Break

Dream with me,
Happiness descends,
Happiness till then,
I didn't walk away I held on to the day,
Love is all I send, 
Love is all I send

Because your going to get tired of the things I was and the things I am again,
And I'm going to get tired of a life that was and I'll never get to the end,
And when your time,
And your working fine,
And you know where, how & when,
But the line gets slow and I'm waiting in the sun,
And you gotta let go of the things you know

Dream with me,
Happiness descends,
Happiness till then,
I took a short break from the time when I couldn't radiate,
Love is all I send, 
Love is all I send

Because your gonna get tired of the things I was and the things I am again,
And I'm gonna get tired of a life that was and I'll never get to the end,
And when your time,
And your working fine,
And you know where, how & when,
But the line gets slow and I'm waiting in the sun,
And you've got to let go of the things you know

When you wanna let go of the things you know, 
And you've got to let go of the things you know

My love, 
I just want to say,
Sacrifice yourself to me,
And it'll be me,
Around for the day,
I can feel suspecting eyes looking around,
For you & me,
Sacrifice yourself to me & it'll be me,
Around you today
I can feel our lies and ties are bringing us down

Oh no, oh no, I think that they know

Now I am sighing and beside myself,
Cause everybody knows about Carrie Anne & me,
And I'm trying hard to hide away,
Cause I know that you know about me & her x 2
You've seen, someone with me

Oh my love,
I think your the way,
Sacrifice yourself to me,
And I'll be free to be today,
I can feel suspicious minds are bearing down,
Upon you & me,

Sacrifice yourself to me,
And it'll be me,
Around you today,
I can feel their eyes are locked and taking us down

Oh no, oh no I think that they know,
Oh no you said you've seen someone with me, 

Now I am sighing and beside myself,
Cause everybody knows about Carrie Anne & me,
And I'm trying hard to hide away,
Cause I know that you know about me & her x 2
You've seen, my friend & me

Oh no, 
I think you know, 
You've said that you've seen,
Someone with me

Oh no I know,
That you know,
I know,
That you have seen,
My friend & me.

My Friend & Me

Unsigned, Songwriter, musician, singer, producer from Margate, Kent.
Here's my bio:

Rob Lloyd was a member of London punk trio Betamax for a few years.
During his time in Betamax they had many highs, being signed to HTT Records, releasing 5 singles & an E.P and playing some great gigs including supporting Graham Coxon on his UK A+E tour.
After coming to a creative block in Betamax, he decided to take some time out and concentrate on solo work. 
It was slow moving at first trying to find creative energies on his own, but after experimenting with different sounds in his home studio, he would find his creative flow and new songs started to emerge.
Soon after, the first solo release was ready and in 2013 he would release "She's in Love".
After a few reviews, some local airplay and "She's in Love" reaching number 4 in the MRU Music Charts, things started to progress.
Not long after this U.S label Oreya Records approached with the offer of a handshake publishing deal. In September 11th 2013 they released "My Friend & Me" as a general single release.
In July 22nd 2014, Oreya Records released "Two Axons" which would be the first official album under the name BetaRob.
The album was well received making it in to the ITunes official album chart peaking at number 24. As well as getting extensive airplay in Europe & America, a few of the tracks also received some good reviews (which can be found below).
Since then to keep the momentum going, in 2015 Rob Lloyd has gone on to release "Like a Machine" & "Too Late, Too Soon" (reviewed by BBC Introducing's Sam Bonham below) as free downloads which can be found on his SoundCloud page.


"The music I am is currently exploring is a little different from my punk roots and while I miss the creativity of working with others, I'm also very much enjoying the creative freedom that comes from working alone, leading to different and varied sounds.
I hope to keep this momentum going and build on the positive reaction I've received for my solo work so far."
