I Will Never Grow Old DEMO

Come on down you synth-folk slacker cyberpunks
I know you must be lonesome

Inviting all the wretches and the feckless
I know you’ll find your home soon

Way out there
Fade away
Ungracefully
In obscurity

[Contains samples from Philip K. Dick's press conference at the Metz Science Fiction Festival, France, September 1977]

Nobody Else

The first girl who I met that wasn’t my mother,
it turns out, it turns out,
it turns out, 
she’s my sister

So his ship can do the Kessel Run,
in 12 or 13 parsecs,
you should see me, you should see me, 
bulls-eye a womp rat

So I’ve got so much more going on,
than a simple bionic arm

and I thought the only thing I’d ever love, 
was my burned out T-16

Well, I’ve got so much more on my mind,
than a simple bionic arm

[Words & Music - The Feckless]

She Sings In Her Sleep

Falling (demo)

I wrote what's below before Mahan put up, for public, the original. 
Here it is: https://soundcloud.com/mahan-mahan/moonballad-toxic-daisies?in=mahan-mahan/sets/jon-lock-vs-mahan-mahan
I few weeks ago I heard this track https://soundcloud.com/mahan-mahan/disco-junkies-1-1-1 and was just floored, mostly by that bass line. Anyway after https://soundcloud.com/mahan-mahan and I had enjoyed each others music and exchanged some ideas and pleasantries Mahan came to me with the Idea of me covering a song by his former band The Toxic Daisies. I think he'll post the original as a public track again but for now the link he provided to me is private. The original is from the 90's(I think) and in a punk/grunge style. I shifted it into a sort of 60's pop and altered the harmonies just a bit but stayed true, for the most part to the original chords, arraignment, tempo and tried to use the exact lyrics as I heard them. It's a wonderful song and a couldn't be more flattered that Mahan asked me to recreate it.

Moonballad (Toxic Daisies cover)

There Is A Light That Never Goes Out…

Take me out tonight – where there’s music & there’s people & they’re young & alive
Driving in your car – I never ever want to go home
Because I haven’t got one anymore
Take me out tonight – because I want to see people & I wanna see life
Driving in your car – oh please don’t drop me home
Because it’s not my home it’s their home & I’m welcome no more…

& if a double-decker bus crashes in to us
To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die
& if a ten tonne truck kills the both of us
To die by your side well the pleasure & the privilege is mine…

So take me out tonight – oh take me anywhere I don’t care, I don’t care, I don’t care
& in a darkened underpass I thought: ‘Oh God my chance has come at last’!
But then a strange fear gripped me & I just couldn’t ask
So take me out tonight – oh take me anywhere I don’t care, I don’t care, I don’t care
Driving in your car I never ever wanna to go home
Because I haven’t got one - no I haven’t got one…

& if a double-decker bus crashes in to us
To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die
& if a ten tonne truck kills the both of us
To die by your side well the pleasure & the privilege is mine…

Oh there is a light & it never goes out – there is a light & it never goes out
There is a light & it never goes out – there is a light & it never goes out
There is a light & it never goes out – there is a light & it never goes out
There is a light & it never goes out – there is a light & it never goes out…

There Is A Light That Never Goes Out (Smiths cover) by The Ramsden Squares.

Inspired by a sleepless summer night

Summer Storm

I been up all night
I should be sleeping,
Winds are blowing strong.
the roof is caving in,
I'm just waiting til dawn.

Its blowing a gale
and my ship set sail,
Left me here on the docks.
I should be counting sheep,
but i'm just watching the clock.

This mind don't rest,
I try my best to gently 
shut it down.
Seems i'm stuck while the wheels 
are spinning around...

I been up all night
Oh i should be sleeping
winds are blowing strong
the roof is caving in
I'm just waiting til dawn.

Its changing form
this summer storm,
playing tricks in the night.
Electricity and flashes of light....
