Unless We Were Bad

Madhouse


Verse1

Its always a madhouse around here.
I feel like a musketeer.
our troubles will double my dear.
Dont you follow the news?

Theres a spider in his web 
and if hes gone he'll soon be back
mind your pace watch your step
beware of the silky thread.

Chorus1

aint it something else
when the cheating no longer helps
your house of lies
collapsed upon itself

wont you try something new
something better 
something true
it dont matter what to do
its not for them this is for you.


verse2

Its always a madhouse around here.
yet nothing has changed.
I wonder if they caught me out here
just to whisper my name

Theres a low moon glow.
lighting up, the massacre nest.
make a choice pick a coin but instead,
took a step back into the spiders trap.


Chorus2
 
aint it something else.
when these people no longer help.
and its you that they despise.
dont you see it in their eyes.

why wont you try something new
something better 
something true
it dont matter what to do
its not for them this is for you.

Madhouse

Departure (Flashback)

The glimmering star in your crescent nape
Caught my eye
And when you spoke your lips gave up
Your elegant Swiss cigarette
The words you said were open
They took me by surprise

A dancing reed in a gentle breeze, sand beneath your toes
Kashmir blankets, gifted smoke, they play for you alone
A treasured moment in my life
Beauty that will never be forgotten

As the flame grows dark, in our beautiful balloon
It sinks back to the crashing waves of the Arabian Sea
I know that you don't feel sad, you'll launch another soon
But I can only dream because it will not be with me

Standing up there on the cliff top, excitement in our eyes
You can see it in that photograph, up there in the sky
As you passed so high above me,
I watched you never looking back
And I had to wonder
Where will you land?

Most of the songs here are original compositions, all recorded using Ableton Live. They are all released under a Creative Commons license and available for free download. My songs, like everyone's, are affected by my influences which range from U2 to Queen, Goyte to The Mighty Boosh. My interest in loop-based music was originally inspired by seeing Mr Percival perform live. I guess you could describe my music as a combination of Synthpop or Electropop with a touch of Folktronica.
