Ghosts demo

A tune I did around 2005. I liked the 'wall of sound' layered guitars & vocals thing partly because it pleased my ears and partly because it masked the sloppy playing/singing. Children on Steroids was only ever about 'getting it down on tape' rather than any kind of finished product. I basically can't be arsed tweaking things to actually sound professional. And I'm just not disciplined enough to go for take after take when I fuck up. This was from the days of MySpace and I was pretty excited when a few people said they liked it. Someone in the US actually said they had it on their mp3 player and I was ecstatic about that.

We share the best of our times
And we read between the lines
And you and your drive-by smile
I'm wanting you

You were to be my future phase
But I had to keep you in the shade
Now gone are the days I lost my way
Distant as the love that we once made
And you and your drive-by smile
I'm telling you

Hey you, with your drive-by smile
I'm feeling you

We share the best of our times
And we read between the lines
And now, as abandon lights our way
You smile and begin your fall from grace

Cos you and your drive-by smile
I'm taking you
And you and your drive-by smile
I'm keeping you
