LIFE HAS MANY GATES (ALWAYS BLAMING THE MAKER)


BOTH THE SUBJECT AND THE MASTER
DUBBED THE BICYCLE THIEF
I STALK THE LOCAL PASTOR
FOR.... HE'S A GLUTTON FOR GRIEF

MY MIND EXPANDING FASTER
WITH EACH AND EVERY FIX
PROTOPLASMIC PROTRUSIONS
PENETRATE MY BAG OF TRICKS
(I'M REACHING IN....
TO MY BAG OF TRICKS)

OH! I....I'VE MADE
(OH! I'VE BEEN MAKING FAR TOO MANY MISTAKE)
TOO MANY MISTAKES IN MY LIFE

THAT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO MAKE YOU LAUGH!
NOT SUPPOSED TO MAKE YOU LAUGH!

OH! I'VE MADE
(TOO MANY MISTAKES)
FAR TOO MANY MISTAKES IN MY LIFE

EVADING EACH DISASTER
EVADING EACH DISASTER
EVADING EACH DISASTER
BY THE SKIN OF MY TEETH

CIRCUMSTANCES, UNFORSEEN
AND THE INCIDENTS THAT FALL INBETWEEN
CAN TAKE YOU BY STORM
OR CREEP UP FROM BEHIND
DOCUMENT YOU WHEN YOU'RE BORN
AND TRACK YOU THROUGH TIME

LA....LA....LA....LA....LA....LA
LIFE HAS MANY GATES
EACH ACCORDING TO ITS KIND....YEAH!
LIFE HAS MANY GATES

LIFE HAS MANY GATES
EACH ACCORDING TO ITS KIND
EACH JOURNEY REFLECTING
THE ROAD THAT IT WINDS

A RECKONING AWAITS ON A DAY THAT HAS NO DATE
WHEN YOUR ERRORS AND YOUR TRANSGRESSIONS COMBINE

NEITHER TELESCOPE EYES
THAT SCAN THE FACE OF THE EARTH
SCAN THE FACE OF THE EARTH
NOR THE MYTHICAL JINN....JINN....JINN....JINN....JINN
NOR THE MYTHICAL JINN THAT WALK AMONG US
(DON'T WALK OR TALK OR LAUGH OR CRY)
ARE SAVVY TO THE SICKNESS
AND THE MOUNTAIN OF LIES
THAT SCRAPE THE VERY SKY
(WE SCRAPE THE VERY SKIES)

ALWAYS BLAMING THE MAKER
ALWAYS BLAMING THE MAKER

WE'RE ALWAYS BLAMING THE MAKER
WE'RE ALWAYS BLAMING THE MAKER

EXTERNALISE THE BLAME AND CUSS
COMPLAINING THIS SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN
TO GUYS LIKE US
(THIS SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN TO US)
COMPLAINING THIS SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN
TO GUYS LIKE US

CIRCUMSTANCES UNFORSEEN
CAN TAKE YOU BY STORM
LIFE HAS MANY GATES
EACH ACCORDING TO ITS KIND

CIRCUMSTANCES UNFORSEEN
CAN TAKE YOU BY STORM
EACH JOURNEY REFLECTING
THE ROAD THAT IT WINDS

CIRCUMSTANCES UNFORSEEN
CAN TAKE YOU BY STORM
EACH JOURNEY REFLECTING
THE ROAD THAT IT WINDS

It is a myth that unsigned music equals inferior music; the only way we can blow that myth out of the water is to do it together!
DON'T JUST LIKE, LISTEN; DON'T JUST LISTEN, COMMENT! And support musicians that support you!

MY TUNES ARE ALL ABOUT CREATING ON THE FLY; NO COOKBOOK, NO RULES, NO PREPARATION, NO PLAN; IT JUST HAPPENS!

FORMULA THINKING AND BOUNDARIES PUT EXTREME LIMITATIONS ON THE CREATIVE PROCESS; TRUE ART CAN NOT BE PRODUCED WITHIN A RESTRICTED SPACE!

I DON'T BREAK DOWN BOUNDARIES, BECAUSE THERE WERE NO BOUNDARIES IN MY WORLD TO BEGIN WITH!

MUSIC MUST CONTINUE TO EVOLVE, AND THE ECLECTIC APPROACH IS NOW THE ONLY WAY FORWARD, BECAUSE INDIVIDUAL GENRES HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED!

CREATING WITHIN A SINGLE GENRE, THEREFORE, RESULTS IN REGURGITATION, REPETITION, AND MEDIOCRITY!

And way too much emphasis is placed on production value; actual creativity and diversity are taking a back seat! Inventive lyrics also rarely get the credit they deserve. This indifference to the talents that actually set musicians apart plays into the hands of a money-minded music industry, signing our own death warrants!

PROGRESSIVE MEETS POST-PUNK MEETS THE 60'S/70'S

DON'T JUST LIKE, LISTEN; DON'T JUST LISTEN, COMMENT!
