"Later I tried to call you
Your mama told me you weren't there
She told me don't bother to call again
Unless I cut off all my hair
I get so tired of sneakin' around
Just to get to your back door
I crawled past the garbage and
Your mama jumped out, screamin'
"Don't come back no more"
My guitar wants to kill your mama
My guitar wants to kill your mama
My guitar wants to burn your dad
I get real mean when it makes me mad"
Frank Zappa & The Mothers Of Invention "My Guitar Wants To Kill Your Mama" (1969)

My Guitar Wants to Kill Your Mama - MAY 2018 // Shoegaze / Dreampop / Psychedelic / Indie Pop

Any artist is welcome to send us a track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon 30 April: from midday on Friday you'll be able to hear our shortlist and pick your favourites on this week's Listening Post which will appear at freshonthenet.co.uk/batch281

If a track you submitted does not appear in this list, it is likely because another of your tracks appeared in our Fresh Faves or on the BBC Music Introducing Mixtape during the last three months — we ask that artists featured on either wait three months before resubmitting to give others a chance. You will be able to resubmit the track in future.

Check out the lyrics video: https://youtu.be/N6EkRpZDwAU

The lights are dark
And the streets are quiet
I can't find 
A place called home

Stuck in time
I can't go back
I think I've had
A glimpse of heaven

The earth is up 
The stars below
I feel I could
Fall forever

Falling Falling Falling Slowly
Falling Falling In Too Deep 
Drifting Drifting Drifting Sideways
Drifting Drifting In My Sleep

Ships in the harbor
Waiting for the tide
We set sail before 
The sunlight dies

The crying wind
Is warning us
To getaway
While we can

Blown off course
Lost at sea
I feel I could 
Float forever

Falling Falling Falling Slowly
Falling Falling In Too Deep 
Drifting Drifting Drifting Sideways
Drifting Drifting In My Sleep

I said take it down
To the solid ground
I said take it down
Take it down

You got to get lost
If you want to be found
I said look around
Look around

Falling Falling Falling Slowly
Falling Falling In Too Deep 
Drifting Drifting Drifting Sideways
Drifting Drifting In My Sleep

Falling

DIET's new single 'Danny Boy' is the reciting of a passionate “how are you?” from one sibling to another over an interstate phone call. Again, the five-piece seem to sonically conjure up an alternative universe where Morrissey grew up by the beach.

Little Rock & Roll

Little Rock & Roll    New Single

From the "Inversions" EP, released on 20th April. A song about the loneliness of the big city. 

"You're late tonight
It's cold outside
Headlights slow on the boulevard
And time has passed
Measured by the glass
All gone, still you stay a little
Turn light down low
Now you're alone

In the streetlight where the people hurry by
Just a glance would dry the tears in your eye

Keep moving on
There's somewhere to belong
But you know these streets say nothing
Do you feel the same?
No, don't turn away
Make tomorrow wait a little
In this stolen light
Stay close tonight
Say it'll be alright"
