Intro - Mr GreenStrings

Written, performed, produced and recorded by Mr GreenStrings @ GreenStrings studios, Sofia, Bulgaria, August 2014.

Sanctuary

Up down, up down, turn right, through town
Hair blue, hair brown, hair green, up down

My mind's working fast flowing slowing like a slow snail
Try to find the answers on the tip of a toe nail
Glow fails need to snap new stick, hope it will stick
like a limpet, windmills blowing over snow trails
ammonites unravel into stalactites
stalagmites might shed light shaded moldovite
marmite glistens as stars start to listen
mechanical heartbeats powered by a piston
  
Up down, up down, turn right, through town
Hair blue, hair brown, hair green, up down

Simple crinkled formations of locations
Are samples of creations, collocations, revelations
The nations are colours, not named like you and me
separations enforced by the power of the sea
Invisible cloud like magnetic energy
our positive negative neutral sanctuary
Invisible cloud like magnetic energy
our positive negative neutral sanctuary

Up down, up down, turn right, through town
Hair blue, hair brown, hair green, up down

Invisible cloud like magnetic energy
our positive negative neutral sanctuary

Sanctuary

Mimi
This is a little story about a girl from this world
Who skipped as she walked and as she entered gave a twirl
And her smile was so bright like the light from the sun
Others had to wear shades as they craved to join her fun
There was one little problem for this golden child
That made her doubt that her light giving was worthwhile
She thought ‘as the brightest star everyone can see me’
‘but who’ll provide light in the night for Mimi?’
Cos every rainbow shooting star needs a bit of inspiration
Some sparks of energy to enable their creation
A catalyst for hope, joy, love and jubilation
For Mimi as she looked around saw too much desolation
People spreading clouds of doubt to others from within
Spreading fear and hate of others with words of rage and sin
Within this focused reality Mimi had to strain
To find the light and keep her smile sheltered from the rain
The more she tried, the more she failed, she couldn’t understand
Her brain was fried, her skin grew pale, all was out of hand
And every day was darker than the day that came before
She hit out at the people who she thought should give her more
Her back was turned in thinking that in solace was the key
‘These depressed negative people have taken the shine from me’
‘I need to run away somewhere to find a brighter start’
She thought as she searched to reconnect her with her heart
Depressed by the ideas that she could no longer seem to be
The sunshine born she naturally, no longer to be seen
Everything was out of place, with darkness in every face
No faith in the human race, seeing darkness in every place
But thankfully a lucky spark caught the heart of this girl
She realised that she didn’t need to take on the weight of the world
And as the troubles lifted from her, she knew it couldn’t be wrong
She closed her eyes, and felt the warmth as she started singing a song
In her mind were no regrets from the feelings in the dark
As they seemed to allow her to reflect on feelings from the past
And as her voice grew louder, like a snake she shed a skin
From within our golden girl returned, renewed with a beaming grin
From the dream she awoke as she rose up from the smoke
Our diamond in the rough laughing at life’s joke
‘I’m happy completely, you don’t need to believe me’
And the sun smiled as it set on the story of Mimi.

Mimi

Contains obvious elements and inspirations from 'Englishman in New York' by Sting.

An Englishman in Sofia

It was a self-chosen prophecy from another life
That connected me to reside here via a former wife
My hat is truly rested in this adopted home
Not sure of most words spoken, found peace here all alone
When in Rome, I have adapted to a different pace
A brand new place where people can see the colour of my face
And just like anywhere some people think they know
But just like anywhere, real people also grow
The funtimes flow even though the grind of life is a struggle
People meeting, people greeting, double kiss or a cuddle
Far less trouble, more respect to elders (wisdom) is the key
Socialist past, east meets western philosophy
By no means free, corrupted government keeps some people down
Bit more free, summer night parks thriving all through town
My London town could learn a lesson from this little place
So send me to outer space, to find another race

I’m an alien
I’m a true BulgAlien
Am happy, won’t shed a tear
I’m an alien
I’m a pale white alien
I’m an Englishman in Sofia

I’m making steps, however small, to integrate the lingo
Nastravey, opa lanka, as sum skritta limonka
Like the feel of the language as it slips off my tongue
Sure it’ll suit me once my studies have begun
Now the flavours of the food are for me very normal
On a scale from delicious all the way down to awful
I gotta say you can’t go wrong with a bit of banitsa
But I still haven’t mastered the taste of lutanitsa
Good wine, good beer, lots of options to choose
Mastika i rakia, lots of options for booze
But these things fade away to the spirit of the people
Sometimes look my way and feel they are not equal
But all I see are people with a huge amount of soul
With laughter full of beauty, has really filled the hole
I had before I came here, but that’s another story
Full of music, Sofian songbirds sing my story

I’m an alien
I’m a true BulgAlien
Am happy, won’t shed a tear
I’m an alien
I’m a pale white alien
I’m an Englishman in Sofia


Englishman In Sofia

Dedicated to my Son.

Lyrics :)

A Few Words

One and three, open we see
Free to be honestly lonely
Pleased to feel, so happily
One and three, open we see

Bubble burst, what feels worse
Rained off parade, empty purse
I’m aimed to please, what a curse
Details missed, the bubbles burst

Sometimes a few words
Sometimes a few words
Sometimes a few words
Can really
Can nearly
So dearly

Sometimes a few words
Sometimes a few words
Sometimes a few words
Can really
Can nearly
So dearly

Fail, fail me

Three six five, round again
It depends can we be friends
Not enough time to spend
Is it right to pretend

Fourteen times, twenty four
Little smiles, to my door
Train stations on the floor
Next train leaves at thirteen twenty four

Sometimes a few words
Sometimes a few words
Sometimes a few words
Can really
Can nearly
So dearly

Sometimes a few words
Sometimes a few words
Sometimes a few words
Can really
Can nearly
So dearly

Fail, fail me
Again

When We Walk Together - PRDG

Written, Performed, Recorded and Produced by PRDG @ GreenStrings Studio, Sofia, Bulgaria, February 2015

Lyrics
PR

This is a message for the people of the United Kingdom (Ha!)
since 1066 we have been under the thumb of a foreign oppressor
war profiteers, paedophiles, corrupt oligarchs, inbred aristocracy
Long live harold godwinson

Nows the time
bring the rhyme

Do you ever have a feeling 
something in the world ain't right?
We spend all our time kneeling,
when will we stand and fight?

The world is run as a business.
every little things for sale.
I won't ask for forgiveness,
I will send Anthrax in the mail.

But each new day brings something new,
That's why I don't watch the news.

In Afghanistan for the Opium,
went to Iraq for the Oil ,
In Bolivia for the Lithium.
In Ukraine for the soil.

Fracking gas and GMO's, 
and Mafia Medicine Men.
Our food owned by Monsanto.
War criminals in Number 10.

So let's all build a guillotene.
and watch those fuckin heads roll.

JFK and Princess Di,
Martin Luther King, Malcolm X.
All these people had to die,
To Power they present threats

But please don't listen to me
Cus' I smoke too much weed
This conspiracy's just a theory
Saw it on BBC3.

I try and fly above, all alone,
hanging with the predator drones.

Yes,i hail from Great Britain
and yes we have some issues
Like my good friend Leon Brittan
he's done n' we need more than tissues

This Royalty we have is untouchable
just look at the Price of Wales
he was best mates with Jimmy Saville
Do you see him being bummed in jails?

So, what they want to touch some kids
who the fuck are we to judge?

Words flying high never surprised when dry eyes 
are left out of supply, cow pie read I 
grasshopper knee high captain contagious 
outrageous cretaceous matchings are catching 
that’s grim, tapped in to a ring 
a limb a ring containing things and no complaining 
raining no shame in shaming those maintaining and proclaiming inflaming pain 
and then campaigning straining claiming we are not the same
it’s a shame on non-stop fast lane pain 
think past days overcast will pass always 
over blue four bird leaf clovers role plays it over 
time to show her your flow 
life’s alive to thrive jive whether 9 to 5 
or born to strive still drive inside don’t collide 
just let go............although.............
no need decide a side to pick proceed remind the Mick they knick 
law limericks inflicted encrypted wrap gifted 
delivered in magic trick form avoiding scorn 
distracting detracting every baby new born 
the power to know............
mind out of sight seeing only disagreeing and fleeing 
real feelings are unappealing for revealing glass ceiling cap traps 
stealing dream maps stacking packs flat full of facts believe that. 


Royal Fuck Up (Words Flying High) - PRDG

Lyrics:
There’s a stone in my greenhouse what am I gonna do
Cape wearing blackbirds with super bird flu
My nails are too long, and all I need is a screw
There’s a captain of my mind ship searching for a crew
Time passes by in the fort of my tower
Depending on the hour, I see sun or moon flowers
It’s almost night, see the twilight in my skylight
My gaze drifts away, and this has been my highlight

Punches handed, door frames sanded
On this straw bale like bed I have landed
Light shard intruders start to get through the
Curtains that look like the shirts of Bermuda
What happens to your dreams when you don’t go to sleep
Do they drift through the hills and the vales with the sheep
So who’s the dream catcher BFG or Bo Peep?
Need to get out the pool now, the water’s too deep

There’s a stone in my greenhouse what am I gonna do
Cape wearing blackbirds with super bird flu
My nails are too long, and all I need is a screw
There’s a captain of my mind ship searching for a crew
Time passes by in the fort of my tower
Depending on the hour, I see sun or moon flowers
It’s almost night, see the twilight in my skylight
My gaze drifts away, and this has been my highlight

Lyrics

Reality can seem a formality like gravity a cavity in your tooth and pathways are gravely as we try to seek clarity in the truth i stay aloof and play uncouf my hoof on a skateboard while playing flute penalty shoot shot don't let the fruit rot time to recruit pot no need for a mute start mate straight in with the hoopla great it must be fated no time procrastinated like greeks we're smashing plated not dated lated like latex sex with an ex wearing ex ray specs moaning boning bones while phoning groaning vibrations loaning loans in the boring snoring early hoping morning glory leaves a leaning cleaning feeling mirrored floors and doors and walls and ceilings appealing red light tours as we take a bake a space of cake of bass melting a sea of faces into seven lakes earthquaking making shaking places alibiing head suit cases stuffed full of disgraces find some random shoes not new no suede blue one thing to do just tie them laces true and move jump up and ride this frequency easy to see the positivity when completely open to connectivity between you and all you see unclaritised ungravitised uncavitised uncivilised uncapitalised unfiltered existance is real for me untamed like the sea this is reality...this is reality

V1
Nails need cleaning until long enough to cut
Is it ok to be happily riding a rut? 
Wouldn't choose to move unless a push or pull
Be a fool to rush or to overload the full

V2
Go to work to avoid getting sacked
If fire was a choice wouldn't ever look back
In anger in interest, not spare a drop of tired
Feel awake not mistaken what truly inspires

B1
Leave your heart at home
For she deserves a better tone
B2
Leave your mind in bed 
Follow your leader with an empty head

C
Don't be so egotistic
Don't be so egotistic
I reject having to deal with
Being realistic

V3
Dreams of holidays and some time to relax
Retiring early sounds like the tastiest snack
But don't ever catch me or call me lazy
Mechanical marching, you think that I'm crazy?
