You've done a fantastic job on the lyrics here, nice work. Fancy giving my latest live track a listen?

very catchy song... slow groove and interesting lyrics

Balloon Twister - The Boy In The Bagging Area

I got your message through the hired hand accompanying you
I filed it with the rest and put down to cowardice
Was then I heard the dreaded call
From over the old city wall
Come, bring out your dead

I thought back to your plan to take revenge upon the land
For taking what you thought was yours, 
And yours to keep; still furthermore,
They charged you for the privilege,
Duties honour countries big,
But you failed to do

You said they squeeze the life from us,
And I'm gonna make it just,
You said they squeeze the life from us,
And I'm not going to lose,

But it could not be you
You wouldn’t have the balls to shoot
What armies train young boys to do on your behalf is beyond you,
Or maybe I’m clutching at straws,
You have the means,
You feel the cause,
To render your own dead,

A standing guard he tells of massacre up on the hills,
The violence sprayed a muddy red just like the letter I had read,
His neckerchief was violet blue,
Just like the one I bought for you,
Oh god, It’s really true

You said they squeeze the life from us,
And I'm gonna make it just,
You said they squeeze the life from us,
And I'm not going to lose,

And when they caught up you,
You turned the gun, so selfless, you,
To spare them all the memory of baying such a buckled beast,
Was then I heard familiar calls,
From outside of the city walls,
Come bring out your dead,
Come bring out your dead,
Come bring out your dead,
