We play some real instruments, and programme others too. We find things to bang or crush or twist and crumple around about, and we sample them as well. We sometimes make some noises with our mouths.

My QP Tracks

I dabble with the gross and obscene
I'm hidden and I'm rarely seen for what I am
I wrote a story so unclean
There was nothing I really mean
Oh no I'm self-destruct

CHORUS
Cuz I'm a dickhead
Well that's what she said
She said or maybe thought?
Like my rapport
I'm not always that self-aware
Cuz I'm a dickhead
Well that's what she said
She said or maybe thought?
Its made me fraught
There's something there!
Well I need fresh air!

I'm barely conscious and don't detect
When my brain is clearly disconnected (duh duh duh)
I take my troubles and deflect
I could not bare what I could wreck
On no I'm self-destruct

CHORUS

I’m a Dickhead

I didn't mean to be so overly demanding
I didn't mean to be so clinically mundane
The double beating in my heart has stopped responding
I think I mustered up a new kind of pain

CHORUS
Its a blast
Its another year of endless shame

Put the tick into the box and call out bingo
And join the singers in the pointless refrain
My name is on your lips in gobbledegook lingo
There's something niggling at the back of my brain

CHORUS

Another Year of Endless Shame

CJ Harrington is a Dorset based poet and author that I have known for a number of years.  We have discussed putting a couple of his poems to music, and this is the first one completed.  Chris' words, my music.  It includes his reading of the poem scattered between the melody.

You can check out Chris' site for more of his poems and stories. https://cjharrington.co.uk 

REMINDER
I need to feel the wind sometimes
How it could uproot me
Snap
And splinter me
Disperse me, shape me, slowly
Wear me down or take me

A breeze is never enough

I need to be reminded
I need to feel how things are sculpted
I need to touch it to believe it

To run my fingertips along edges
And press or slap my palm on surfaces
To know the form and how it works the light

A look is never enough

We need to be connected
We need to feel each other
