RAINBOWS
Words & Music by Matthew Stephen McGinn
I’ve been here
Looking on
Waiting
For someone like you to come along
And tell me
It’s alright
To be me

Face it
The old world’s fading
So let go
A new one’s is waiting
If you
find you’re
fixed upon the storm
You can look behind
Use the colours of the rainbow as your guide

You’ve walked through fire
Believing
It was right
To not let each other know just how you feel
To hide it
In the shadows
From the world

Face it
The old world’s fading
So let go
A new one’s is waiting
If you find you’re
fixed upon the storm
You can look behind
Use the colours of the rainbow as your guide

Can’t you feel it
It’s coming
We’re close now
To loosening the bonds that hold us fast
And live right
It’s better
It’s right

LYRICS:
Stand at the windowsill
Let the light in
Don’t talk too loud
In the middle of the room

Be your own person
Speak when you’re spoken to
Have your own thoughts
But follow with the rest of us

Be successful
Make a lot of progress
Are you sure you want that? 
There’s other people waiting. 

Calm your emotions
You’re so unstable
Do some meditation
Take your pills, get on with it. 

Stand at the windowsill
Let the light in
Don’t talk too loud 
In the middle of the room

Be your own person
Speak when you’re spoken to 
Have your own thoughts
But follow with us. 

Be successful
Make a lot of progress
I’m not sure I want that… 

Calm your emotions
You’re so unstable
Do some meditation 
Get o - it
Get o - it
O - it

Stand at the windowsill 
Let the light in 
Don’t talk too loud. 
Don’t talk too - 

Be your own person 
Speak when you’re spoken to
Have your own thoughts
But follow with us. 

Be successful
Make a lot of progress
I’m not sure I want that… 

Calm your emotions
You’re so unstable 
Do some meditation 
Get o - it
Get o - it
O - it

Stand at the windowsill 
Let the light in 
Don’t talk too loud
Don’t talk too - 
Don’t talk too - 

"And you have no objections to working on weekends? 
Oh not at all. My time is completely my own."

Swimming Pool

Right Hand Man

4 songs inspired by acid rock, brit-pop, tropicalia and madchester shows off yet another blend of baroque psychedelic rock abusing harmony vocals, synths, percussion and prolonged fuzzy guitar solos.

Would You Believe

The more we're in touch,
the more I'm ashamed how,
I'm fallin' in love,
with her at Front Street.
Yeah, fate might've planned,
to ensure we met either way.
But did fate light a match,
knowing sure we'd melt by the flame?
I'm torn by the pull,
of right, wrong and grey ground.
I've fought this enough,
I'm drawn to Front Street.
Yeah, fate might've planned,
to ensure we'd text either way.
But did fate light a match,
knowing sure we'd melt by the flame?
And I'll never not mean the things,
that I've laid bare for this.
And I'll never not need to fight,
for a love as rare as this.
The warmth of the touch,
you're pulling away now.
Like a sword to the gut,
you turned at Front Street.
Yeah, fate might've planned,
to ensure we were destined to fail.
'Cause when fate lights a match,
it knows sure we'll melt by the flame. 
Alarmed as to why,
she's shutting me out.
Just photographs left,
'cause she's ghosting now.
But I'll never not mean the things,
that I've laid bare for this.
And I'll never not need to fight,
for a love as rare as this.
Gone and for good,
she's walkin' away now.
It's all he deserves,
this karma cuts deep.
Gone and for good,
there's rocks in our way now.
The forks and the turns,
that keep her,
from Front Street.
And so fate lights a match,
knowing sure we'll melt by the flame.
And this play's final act,
is the proof of the mess that we made. 
But I'll never not mean the things,
that I've laid bare for this.
And I'll never not dream of the life,
that we'll never get to live.
