Any artist is welcome to send us ONE track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track*. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon 27th Feb: from mid-day on Friday you'll be able to hear our shortlist and pick your favourites on this week's Listening Post which will appear at freshonthenet.co.uk/batch231

*Note: we don't listen again to tunes we've already heard, and automatically block artists who send more than one track a week (our moderators can manage to work their way through 150+ tunes overnight, but 300+ would be impossible!)

Lyrics: Goethe

Lynceus, The Warder (Faust II, Goethe)

For seeing i’m born, for watching employed
To the tower i’m sworn, while the world i enjoy
I gaze at the far, i stare at the near
To the moon and the stars, the forest and deer

The eternally lovely adorement i view
And as it delights me, i delight myself too
You fortunate eyes, all you’ve seen there
Let it be as it may, yet it was so fair

I’m not positioned here on high
Just for my own enjoyment
What horror meant to terrify
Threatens from the firmament
I see sparks of fire gushing through
The lindens double night
Fanned by the wind’s rushing
Ever stronger goes the light

Ah! Within the hut is burning
Damp and mossy though it stands
Swift help, inthis direction turning
Is needed, yet no aid’s to hand
Ah! The pious old couple
so carefull ever of the fire
Made a prey to smoke to stifle
On this dreadful pyre

The flame burns on, glowing red
It’s now a black mossy pile
If only those good folks were rescued
From those fires of hell run wild

A bright flung of lightning heaps
Through the branches, through the leaves
Breaking, snapping, catching swiftly
With the branches flickered glow
Why have i such powers to see?
Why are mine the eyes to know?

The little chapel now collapses
With the falling branches weight
Already with bright, snakelike flashes
The treetops gripped meet their fate
Glowing crimson to the hollow roots
The trunks now burn with ease

What used to please my eyes below
Has vanished with the centuries…

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, 1832

Lynceus, The Warder (Faust II, Goethe) feat. Xian3

Probably this is our heaviest cover)

Lyrics:
She's wearin' dresses on the borderline
(look again)
Awaking senses that were lost in time
(make amends)
This liberation is the one they'll love for ages (hey man I seen it comin'... yeah)
Just cut those dresses make you look so fine (you're a ten)
But I'll make certain you'll look so divine
(i'm your man)
This generation won't forgive those signs of aging (hey man I seen they're comin'... yeah)
I got my ticket for the next makeover
I got my ticket for a stolen bride

I believe (yeah), I believe (yeah)
I believe in the fallen
I believe (yeah), I believe (yeah)
I believe in the fallen

They got injections for the facial lines (make amends)
Break out the scalpel keep the nose defined
(look again)
A crucifixion of the love we've known for ages (hey man i seen it comin' ... yeah)
You're much too pretty you don't need your mind (just pretend)
Just pack the knowledge that your heart's desires (now and then)
A resurrection of the shallow and the vapid
(hey man I seen it comin' ... yeah)

I got my ticket for the next makeover
I lost my taste for this I'll keep my pride
I believe (yeah), I believe (yeah)
I believe in the fallen
I believe (yeah), I believe (yeah)
I believe in the callin'

REJECT!

I got my ticket for the next makeover
I lost my taste for this, I'll keep my pride
I believe (yeah), I believe (yeah)
I believe in the fallen
I believe (yeah), I believe (yeah)
I believe in the callin'

:D

The lyrebird sings [naviarhaiku408]

Quickly

The van broke down
just 5 miles from O'Hare
Not sure what we were doing
Had no tickets anyway
As the sun set in the West
We walked East
Planes roaring overhead

We ran as fast as we could run
Escape our only goal
From small town suffocation
And our designated roles
BBQs on Saturdays
Cold Millers with the guys
The vanishing horizon
Matched the dulling in our eyes

Not quite a decision
That either of us made
But a moment of clarity
And what it meant to stay
It never matters
Which road we take
As long as right beside me
I have Karla with a K

We ran as fast as we could run
Escape our only goal
From small town suffocation
And our designated roles
BBQs on Saturdays
Cold Millers with the guys
The vanishing horizon
Matched the dulling in our eyes

The excitement and the newness
As we move from town to town
As we worked to settle down
Turned piece by little piece
into what we'd sworn not to become
we lived the lives we ran from

We ran as fast as we could run
Escape our only goal
From small town suffocation
And our designated roles
BBQs on Saturdays
Cold Millers with the guys
The vanishing horizon
Matched the dulling in our eyes

The Vanishing Horizon

Thank you for visiting this truck
Many shopping is fun in the season that people are full. 
You can settle it if you have a card. 
But it is also good to pay with money.

SUNDAY PAPERS 
by BLACKDOGHAT

Messing around with the Sunday papers
Nothing to do, but waste the day
Never be lonely 
Never be lonely
Never be lonely 
Again

Coffee and tea and nice tea biscuits
A walk by the sea, along the shore
Taking it easy
Taking it easy
Taking it easy
Today

Turning the pages, reading the stars
Getting excited about football scores
You΄re the only
You΄re the only
You΄re the only
One for me 

Watching a movie, sit in the dark
Staying up late, don΄t want it to end
Getting so cozy
Getting so cozy
Getting so cozy
Tonight 

Messing around with the Sunday papers
Nothing to do, but waste the day
Never be lonely
Never be lonely 
Never be lonely
Again

Never be lonely
Never be lonely
Never be lonely 
Again

Lyrics:

Lion House
(Si Connelly)

Sitting on my own again
Talking to the animals 
Catdog and the Dinosaurs 
Twitching and a scratching
Avoiding eye contact

Built myself a lion house
So I can be king
Got myself stuck in a mousetrap
If you all drown I can sail out in a boat made of paper
And I can count on my fingers and when i run out I can count on yours

I wanna fly so high
Under the black sky
In a beautiful lion house

The captain and the king
They fell off the earth
They’d been living in a matchstick town
Ever since it burned 
Bodies turned to ivory 
Pure white attack
And the silence brought it all back    

I wanna fly so high
Under the black sky
In a beautiful lion house
In a beautiful lion house
