Revisited version of  Earnest Toasteth from Spektah Gadjo

More Toast

A taste of the some of the things to come, I've made a whole guitar based album, minimalist, relatively acoustic with a bit of electronic

Reflections (Acoustic Version)

No more him
No more her
No more Miss
No more Sir
Blow a kiss
Make a stir
Make a wish
All a blur
And your right
Has been revoked
To laugh
And to joke
Burning chapels
Down in smoke
You must be woke
Can't say this
Can't say that
People hate
They don't chat
People break
People crack
Ignorant bliss
Don't think back
Remember the bad
Forget the good
Shoot the sad
Guess they would
Tear out the pages
Burn the books
Big tech crooks
Hung on hooks

Over and over again
Hunting down nobler men
Sending in Dobermen
When we gonna be sober again
Stoning them
Boulder them
Informers told on them
Punish them
Scolding them
History's gold again
Hate, we defeated it
But somebody retweeted it
Waving a feeble stick
Whack till I'm feeling sick
Page ripped as your reading it
Bloodthirst they needed it
Blackrock agreed to it
Overheat the fever hit
Keep it zipped down low
Eyes shut mouth sewed
Honour in your house glow
House of cards down blow
Seeds in the ground grow
Capitalist found dough
Round after round flows
That's how the sound goes

Just another John Doe
Sitting in the same row
Wish away the pain go
Give us back the rainbow
White privilege in a Glasgow slum
A dole queue  and a bacon bun
Government we can take them on
All be dead when the war has been won
I wanna swap my legs for my arms
WIth legs on my shoulders I'd have much more charm
Accept my choice
Don't dare to make fun
Employ me as a typist
You legaphobe scum

Lyrics
Heading out to Jimmy's house
With his older sister Barbara
Always get a bite to eat
Cos' they got their stock up in the larder
Then we head across the hills
Have a look around the harbour
The girls went to the hairdresser's
The boys went to the barber's
Want no cookies please no cookies
I've got biscuits in my jar
Want no pop corn and I'm not torn
Never been to the cinema
Now we're going round to Jame's
As he's got a VCR
We're all parked upon the carpet
Looking, watching from afar
You can call me on my house phone
And I'll answer if I'm in
But it's likely that I'm outside
In a forest, in a den
Take the dog back to the quarry
Climb up on these rocks again
No trackers out to track us
Yet the parents staying zen

After heading upstream
Up the track, we're on our bikes
Got no water or no helmet
But we know we'll be alright
We get scratches, we get matches
We fight with all our might
The summer haze, we're catching rays
Until the day turns into night
Take a ploughmans in a beer garden
A pound is what it costs
Hear the bees in all the trees
And Louis being chased by wasps
They got four channels on the TV
White and black that little box
Dukes of Hazard or the A-Team
And I wonder what to watch
Round a campfire in the garden
Hear footsteps on fallen leaves
Calling Jesus sing the chorus
To the forest to the trees
Praying, laying back on cut grass
Gaze upon the golden stars
Holding, back and forth we pass the cup
And puff stolen cigars

A song I made inspired in part by the Littlest Hobo series I watched as a kid and my series of short term jobs which became long term, also inspired by "Voyage au bout de la nuit"

Lyrics
Biding his time, collecting his dimes, so long, so go
Stay sane in his mind, the changes he finds, so go, Lil hobo

Arrived on the scene with his eyes looking keen
Ordered to pick up the mop and go clean
Pecking the order at the pit of the team
Little by little they ripped up his dream
Bag on his back, not keen to go back
Walked through the city, the night that was black
Look for the train, go follow the track
Be a lone wolf don't go with the pack

A chercher des mille et les cents
Ou que garder ses dents on devient indécent
La vérité blesse, il vaut mieux que je mente
Du boulot au boulot ma chance que je tente
Bouger sans cesse juste pour changer d'air
Des vieux chagrins, des nouvelles misères
Pourchassé, poursuivi, un bouc émissaire
Un toit et à manger, le stricte nécessaire

On se donne du mal à pas être soit même, quand même
Tentative d'être heureux en vain, villain
Biding his time, collecting his dimes, so long, so go
Stay sane in his mind, the changes he finds, so go, Lil Hobo

Gradually becoming older and wary
Not knowing tomorrow, the unknown is scary
The life of the Hobo is unordinary
Most of these tasks do seem unnecessary

Biding his time, collecting his dimes, so long, so go
Stay sane in his mind, the changes he finds, so go, Lil Hobo
On se donne du mal à pas être soit même, quand même
Tentative d'être heureux en vain, villain

Biding his time, collecting his dimes, so long, so go
Stay sane in his mind, the changes he finds, so go, Lil Hobo

Told them I'd only be there for a second
Passing my time 'till the next session beckons
Most of them don't really care what I reckon
My eyes supervise and they're constantly checking
Told them I'd only be there for a minute
Packed up the box where they told me to bring it
Can't understand it, I must be a cynic
Hand me a contract, I told them to bin it

On me l'a dit que les rêves s'oublient
De fil en aiguille tel les défunts parties
Changer d'air sans cesse, à se retourner sa veste
Délaissé, on te laisse, on se presse vers les pompes funestes
Fonce tout droit avec la tête à l'ouest
Grotesque, déteste comme la vie te teste
Creuses promesse aux enfants qui naissent sans richesse

Se dépêcher de pêcher avant que cela soit trop tard, bobard
Prendre l'air occupé, pas se faire repérer, rigolard, tocard
Biding his time, collecting his dimes, so long, so go
Stay sane in his mind, the changes he finds, so go, Lil Hobo

Vagabonder avec un sac bondé
Pourchassé par chaque condé
Les semelles usées
Ras le sol les pieds
Les passants qui passent ne sont pas inquiets

Biding his time, collecting his dimes, so long, so go
Stay sane in his mind, the changes he finds, so go, Lil Hobo
Se dépêcher de pêcher avant que cela soit trop tard, bobard
Prendre l'air occupé, pas se faire repérer, rigolard, tocard
Biding his time, collecting his dimes, so long, so go
Stay sane in his mind, the changes he finds, so go, Lil Hobo
