Third Time Prosperous

Written by Drew David Allen (PRS CAE: 717785113)

Her tremolo views and tight strings are a pretty shade of grey
And all is prospered when she turns to leave
At first she turns to mystery, and then mystery comes to gather me
And tears me up from all that I believe 


[Chorus]          
As tonight the guns play in tune, to the calling of your name
Last time came too soon, this time won’t be the same

Late one night standing in the road 
Listening to the beauty bouncing through her lips
Trying to figure her out whilst staring at 
The portrait of her black dress, clinging to her hips

How she huffs before she sighs
Through the diamonds she uses as her eyes
How she talks of all the things she’s seen
With love in every breath between

[Repeat Chorus]

She’s the shiver in the dance so slow
But when asked she wouldn’t even know
How she only asks in vain
How she smiles when she says my name

[Repeat Chorus]

She puts her fingers up to my lips and says I always knew
But as it’s late and the clouds hide the moon, I’ll sympathise with you

Lyrics

Looking up thinking which way will he go
As he shades his eyes from the sun
When I break these chains
They might find me someday
Hell, it’s time and I gotta run

The men won’t find out
About my big breakout
Then they’ll hear the whistles blow
The sirens will wail
They’ll chase my tail
But they don’t know where I’m gonna go

They said I should never go there
They said they think I should stay
My loves been found
Lord, he won’t let me down
As long as he don’t hear me play

A man he sits there on an old rocking chair
As he struggles to see through the mist
Pulls out the tissue from inside his shoe
And says I think you can assist.

I need to disappear then I need to get here
Tell me if you wouldn’t mind
He says you’re in a craze
It’ll take you 10 days but follow the railway line

They said I should never go there
They said they think I should stay
By my love's been found
Lord, he won’t let me down
As long as he don’t hear me play

Not a sound, another deserted town
Back through more fields now though
Dark skies and another sunrise
Can’t be much longer to go

He slows for a while, walked so many miles
Shakes his head and puffs his cheeks
Shoes filled with blood, covered in mud
But driven by the fortune he seeks

They said I should never go there
They said they think I should stay
My loves been found
Lord, he won’t let me down
As long as he don’t hear me play

His nerves have all spread, and he sweats from his head
Now the time’s finally come
Alone stands a man 
Pen and paper in his hand
Waiting for the deal to be done

||||| LYRICS

Between the ocean and the City
Is our hometown
She buys a dress it looks so pretty
She looks around 
He sees the dust in the sunrays 
Of his sorrow
He’s pirouetting through the subways 
Of tomorrow 

It’s a world like no other for the brother that stands by your side
But it’s one for the money and two for the waves that we ride

You left too soon
You’ll be back someday 
I see in the dark and you’re coming my way

I don’t know where to look
I don’t know what to say 
I see you in the dark, and you’re coming my way 

I hear the echoes on the back streets
It’s all about wealth 
Where all the wasted fill the back seats 
Of life itself 

What I’d to do have her back again 
Just to kiss her
My love she can’t see through the rain
And I miss her 

It’s a world like no other for the brother that stands by your side
But it’s one for the money and two for the waves that we ride

You left too soon
You’ll be back someday 
I see in the dark, and you’re coming my way

I don’t know where to look
I don’t know what to say 
I see you in the dark, and you’re coming my way 

Forty licks shirt
Tracks in the dirt
Morning cold wind whistling 
He flips a coin to figure what he is
While she dances on the ragged edges
Just to feel something 
 
You left too soon
You’ll be back someday 
I see in the dark and you’re coming my way

I don’t know where to look
I don’t know what to say 
I see you in the dark, and you’re coming my way

Rebel Hero

I See You In The Dark (Alternative Version)

Holborn Avenue

https://ddallen.ffm.to/bio

“I think how you handle the weight of your memories defines who you become. Even though Holborn Avenue sounds like a heartbreak song, that whole story and chapter of my life makes me smile. It’s probably the purest song I’ve written. She always had a gift for turning an ordinary day into something extraordinary. It was a special journey, and we were young. But fate tore us apart in the end.”

I See You In The Dark (Piano Version)

Rebel Hero (Explicit)

Recorded Live at the Bournemouth International Centre on James Blunt's Moon Landing Tour. I wrote the song after watching the Cohen brothers film 'Oh Brother Where Art Thou'.  It's the whole selling your soul to the devil in exchange for being able to play.

The Deal (Live At The B.I.C.)

LYRICS

The painter paints a million saints, they excel in their new design
He in turn has his own concern how many tares to sew this time 
Shallowness pastes it’s bitter tastes down every avenue but mine

Where the cold winter still spreads it’s sin and the darkness paints the mood I’m in

[Chorus]
Baby show me a little mercy
It really ain’t like me to get mixed up
Spilling my senses through a broken cup
But it ain’t easy when you're on your own

Oxford man has only ever ran but he needs something new to chase
A plan in place just in case he forgets to tie his own shoelace
A cult reborn sticks it’s thorn into the tendering side of grace

Whichever way the wind blows, whichever way the river flows

[Repeat Chorus]
                          
The blinds are drawn but when the light shines through
Forget me I shall have forgotten you
It never felt right but that’s fine because
Cos’ nothing interesting ever does

Walking around this coastal town and I don’t know the time or day
Wouldn’t you know it a puppet dressed as a poet knows the only way
Keeps on going never thinks of slowing as long as there's a message to convey 

Speaking honestly as sweet or bitter as the fruit may be
I’m the one to blame you see, I met an angel and plunged recklessly
Show a little mercy to me

Baby show me a little mercy
It really ain’t like me to get mixed up
Spilling my senses through a broken cup
But it ain’t easy on your own
                          
The blinds are drawn but when the light shines through
Forget me I shall have forgotten you
It never felt right but that’s fine because
Cos’ nothing interesting ever does

LYRICS

© Published by Sentric Music / DD Allen

Along came young Jerry , in his ride he loved most
He rode town to town, he rode coast to coast
The last thing I heard he’d rode straight back to hell
As if one day the curtain literally just fell

Cole hears his woman ain’t being sincere
These things don’t take long to get far round here
He hares down the dueley, one lane to another
In an old beaten hatchback belonged his mother

Slade ventures down to his local blue bookies
He scans through his tickets like an old jar of cookies 
He’s forgot about Toronto, and the Highland Springs
He sings “here I have all the best things”

Excuse me, while I think of the phrase
The old man’s so stuck in his ways
Just Like The Old Days

Me I went drivin’, through the unguarded docks
To a small fishing pier close to Old Harry Rocks 
No one to try beat me down as I rise
No one to pull the wool over my eyes

Imagine if opinion, blew its own cover
It’d all be the same sound, the same shape and colour
Everything sincere, yet sincerely vein 
In a world where we all shared the same name

Amuse me, with your sorry cliches 
Fire up that honey green haze 
Just like the old days

Baby use me, if one wants then one stays
Live life like life’s just a phase 
Just like the old days

LYRICS

© Published by Sentric Music / DD Allen

I’m sorry that you’ve been through that you’ve been through
Once again another lover’s bitten more than he can chew
As a natural consequence, you’re scared to say things true
That same thing makes you as corrupt as you are blue

[Chorus]
There’s something in the fold of the wind that follows you around
As it howls behind you whispering you’ll never be found

I hope you’ve unwound

For those stood faithless, love burns like a cigarette 
And won’t ever come back, cos’ you’re sick of being upset
When you learn you’re needed, perhaps you’ll soon forget
Your gene fed pleasure, in saying things you’ll soon regret

[Repeat Chorus]

For now you’re losing and your past will just pursue 
Until that rainbow comes and blinds your tainted view

[Alternate Verse]
You only wished for a little beauty and good health
But you’ve no principles like pure beauty itself

[Repeat Chorus]

Feel free to call me and tell me I spoke true
When you stop running and something special comes of you

I hope you’ve unwound.

Rebecca's Curse (REMIX)

DOWNLOAD OR STREAM MY NEW EP! - BAD LOVE
smarturl.it/LinktoBadLove

Just a Little More arrives with all the powerhouse momentum of Springsteen tearing up Thunder Road. A rousing anthem to loves young dream wanting just a little more than a one night stand.

There’s an authentic honesty in DD Allen’s lyrics. Less of the metaphoric Dylanesque lyricism featured in his former incarnation as a folk artist and more virtuous transparency inspired by heartland rock.

--LYRICS--

“Just a Little More”
© 2018 
Written by Drew David Allen / PRS (CAE: 778511713) / Sentric Music Publishing  / phil.allen@ddallen.com

I guess I’m at it again, all down 
Hit another fork in the road
Where the twists and bends, of this old town
Give me just about all that I’m owed 
My broken heart, I’m sure 
Is trying it’s best to understand
As it digs its claws, into much more
Than just a little one night stand      

We met out in a bar on the edge of town
The spirit of the sound spins me right round
Stranded fairly close so not too far above 
Of a crazy little thing that they call love
We gave into our patience as it wore too thin
Hailed a cab and Julie jumped right in
Came here way too soon back to the place I live 
And I need a little more just a little more 

On the streets tonight, the song’s all call your name
And I pray and I hope that it’s just a little wind and rain 
My suspicious fate is banging on the door 
And I need you right now, just little more
Just a little longer to myself

Oh I, messed up, I went and let you lead the way
When I really should, have called up 
And mentioned White was turning Grey 
While I sit and wait, I debate,
The things I wish were set in stone 
When I really should, have thought straight
Turned and headed straight back home 

But we went and had a spin on a merry go
Tried our very best to try and take things slow 
You asked me how you looked with your princess grin 
While I stood there thinking girl, you look just stunning 
We walked we drove we went on a ferry ride 
Laughed and joked so hard we nearly died 
Sat up on the harbour by the glistening shore 
And I need a little more just a little more

On the streets tonight, the song’s all call your name
And I pray and I hope that it’s just a little wind and rain 
My suspicious fate is banging on the door 
And I need you right now, just little more
Just a little longer to myself

Just a little more, just a little more (repeat)
