Dominique's Record Breakers #31

LYRICS:

I paved the road and I drove it home
All on my own like I like to be
And I brought the rain and drank all your pain
And make you feel sane when you want to be

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
What you wanted from me, you don't need it
What you want me to be, I can't be it
What you need to believe, can't un-see it
What you need is the need to be now

Now now now now now now now now
Now now now now now now now now

I paint my sky and I fly it dry
Limits are high in a reverie
And I make the way and borrow you may
But you only play yourself mentally

Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
What you wanted from me, you don't need it
What you want me to be, I can't be it
What you need to believe, can't un-see it
What you need is the need to be now

I used to be alone, I'm used to being alone
When I'm feeling alone, I feel I'm close to home
There will come a time when your mind is free
There will come a time when you don't need to be
Anyone

What you wanted from me, you don't need it
What you want me to be, I can't be it
What you need to believe, can't un-see it
What you need is the need to be now
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh

Need To Be

Not all good guys wear capes. Not all bad guys wear a mask. 
Heroes is about good vs. evil, from the Bad Guy's POV.

"My patience wasted every time I see that sign above.
It’s getting tired, uninspired, and I’ve had enough.
Isn’t it a crime that the good guy always wins
F-d me up and not a scratch on him."

Heroes

‘Will we be fools again’ 
Written in September 2023 after standing in a queue in Starbucks, looking out at a wet, dirty and declining High Street.  I had been been watching the people in town, including one particular couple locked into an intense conversation under an umbrella. They prompted the story in the song. 

I wanted the backing to be sparser and more guitar led to give it an edge. I also wanted the instrumental in the middle to have a woozy, emotional feel to it. 

It’s a song about everyday people ‘stuff’ against a backdrop of a slowly deteriorating townscape. It couldn’t be slick (and I couldn’t be no matter how hard I try!) I hope you enjoy the song. Best with headphones! 

Take care

James (lyrics below) 

Will we be fools again? 

The chewing gum looks like leopard spots on the pavements in the rain
And litter blocks the drains again

Recklessly, we agreed to meet, after these silent years
Now there’s excitement and fear!

Behind the wall, by the social club, an old sanctuary for lovers 

We’ll talk, we’ll laugh 
and then I’ll start to think 
will we be fools again?
Will we be fools again? 

Graffiti on the empty shops, can our town survive?
And meanwhile we destabilise our lives! 

What fools we’d be, to lift the lid and let those lies escape 
Just think of all the hearts we’d break 

But we’re in your car, the radio’s on, as we unwrap the past! 

That smile! Those eyes!
Make me start to think
Will we be fools again?
Will we be fools again?

I’m aware, yeah I’m aware, 
I know where my fault lines are
And you’re spread right across them!  
Right across them.. yeah!

Instrumental 

Yes, we’ll talk, we’ll laugh
You know I’ll start to think
Let us be fools again
Please let us be fools again

Yes, we’ll touch, we’ll kiss
And then the path is clear
For us fools again
Let us be fools again….please, please..

James Whiteman September 2023

Will we be fools again?

This is a song for anyone who has ever lost someone they were taking care of. 

Hospital

I saw the knife
And I pulled it out
The side
Her blood was cold
But I fixed what 
I could find
When I laid down
Someone else was
Next in line

This on and on
Has me falling
Every time

Fall into the places
You forgot before
Dare to lose
Everything you’ve
Held on for
You will fear
What isn't really
Here anymore
Isn't here anymore
Isn't here anymore 

She was a mom
Who worked many
Jobs and times
She only saw 
Her little ones
Asleep at night
She was too kind
That's why they
Die every time

This on and on
Has me falling
Every time

Fall into the places
You forgot before
Dare to lose
Everything you’ve
Held on for
You will fear
What isn't really
Here anymore
Isn't here anymore
Isn't here anymore

Bless this truth
in every shade
That’s mine alone
To make the braid
That twists around
This tired nape
And to the dark that
Knows my face
Into the dark
That knows
I’m game
To take a leap
Against the grain
To fall unseen
For lives in pain
To stand between
Your life in vain

So I sit
Listening to every word
As we have shared
Every burden 
Once returned
I fall into places
I forgot before
See you there
When we meet
Beyond the door
