WE’RE HAVIN’ A GOOD TIME…GOOD TIME
WE’RE HAVIN’ A GOOD TIME…GOOD TIMES

WHAT A BLEEDIN’ DAY I’VE HAD
ENDED GOOD BUT STARTED BAD
THE BLEEDIN’ TRAFFIC WAS TERRIFIC
KINDA QUICK TO BE SPECIFIC

WE’RE HAVING A GOOD TIME

I REACHED THE HALFWAY STAGE, LIKE THAT
MY RENDEZVOUZ, TWO SECONDS FLAT
EACH DOOR BLEW WIDE AHEAD OF ME
THE PEOPLE PARTIN’ LIKE A RED SEA

ALL MY CHRISTMASES HAD COME AT ONCE
NOTHING DARED TO STAND IN MY WAY
LIFE HAD GIVEN ME MY SECOND CHANCE
AN OPPORTUNITY I WILL NOT HURL AWAY

Inst break

AS FRIDAYS GO THIS ONE WAS THE BIG SHOW
THOUGHT I’D BETTER GRAB IT BECAUSE TODAYS ARE GONE TOMORROW
I FEEL LIKE I’M NUMBER ONE, LIKE I’M IN FULL CONTROL
IS THIS THE FIFTEEN MINUTES PROPHESIED BY ANDY WARHOL?

WE’RE HAVIN’ A GOOD TIME

WE'RE HAVIN' A GOOD TIME

Anyone seeking authenticity, imagination & personality, in creativity should explore unsigned music; that's where my faith in the future of music lies!

UNSIGNED MUSIC isn't inferior to SIGNED by any stretch of the imagination! Look past the illusion, find out what you're missing!

(HERE HE COMES) THE HAPPY DORQUE

THE BELLE OF BELLSIZE PARK - STEVEN & TASHA

Something I do for fun, as a sideline to my own music, is use old moreish instrumentals, write lyrics for them, and add my vocals, basically to prove I can even interpret moreish music, so anyone out there who does anything like this, put me to the test. 
You may think how crazy, but I would love to throw in tunes like this during a stage show that bounces around from one genre to the next, the kind of totally unpredictable set that attracts the most eclectic and eccentric audience on the planet,; the only kind of live performance I could really enjoy doing!

TWO KINDS OF LOVE

RAP-OVER-TURE

INVENTIVE, AUTHENTIC, MUSIC, INVENTIVE, AUTHENTIC, LYRICS, but those are the last thing the vast majority of listeners are looking for these days!
>
Me, I'm awestruck by musicians who can't be pigeonholed, who don't conform to any borders, who don't think about which direction each new creation will take, they just go wherever that creativity takes them; pure, on the fly, innovation, imperfect but 100% authentic, as far away from manufactured, recipe book, regurgitation, as it is possible to get, totally unforced, inspirational and way, way, WAY outside the box! 
>
There ought to be a place for such creativity, there was at one time, but a mercenary music industry put an end to that, leaving us with a situation where those who deserve the most respect for their talents receive the least!
>
Will this ever change, will a yearning for TRUE underground, creativity unique to the individual, ever return, or has the spoon-feeding gone to far this time, is its grip so vicelike nothing can break it!
>
I make #INVISIBLE music, perhaps it feels that way to you too!
Criminally #Overlooked, Criminally #Underrated, Dismissed Without A Listen! Creative forces of the past were sometimes overlooked, underrated, misunderstood by the times they were living through, but have since been recognised, now have cult followings, but I have my doubts that any of us will ever be discovered, I have always felt that I, for one, was destined never to escape obscurity and oblivion; have always believed I was put on this Earth to live and die an insignificant loser, someone who never existed!

I respect sex workers (the right TO CHOOSE that profession), they deserve the right to sex work, the same protected rights we all have, ensuring they can ply their trade safely, but I don't respect guys who specifically travel to Thailand because of the high number of children, some as young as 9, sold, forced, into the sex industry, most especially those who use Patreon donations collected under the guise of providing support for victims of abuse; we are talking the most vile human beings on the planet as it is, but when those trips to Thai brothels are actually funded by donations given to actually prevent child abuse, rape, etc., we are addressing worse still.
>
He has over 100,000 followers on Youtube, and almost 500 people send him donations on Patreon, and continue to send them even after they learned about his trips to Thai brothels; can you believe that! This is why I am so determined to bring him down!

I BROKE HER ARM

SHE’S THE SAME GIRL

I TRIED TO CATCH HER EYE
WHEN SHE THREW IT MY WAY
BUT INTENTION AND THE ACT
CAME UNSTUCK AGAIN

SHE STIRS SOMETHING IN ME
BUT I’M NOT HER CUP OF TEA
SHE’S STRICTLY PG
AND AFRAID OF MEN

SHE LOVES TO MAKE A SCENE
MARK THE PLACES WHERE SHE’S BEEN
TURNING FACES BOTTLE GREEN
WITH HER SICK SCENTS

ONE WHIFF OF HER PERFUME
CAN FUMIGATE A ROOM
NEUTRALISE A NASTY NIFF
IN AN INSTANT

I BROKE HER ARM
IN THREE DIFFERENT PLACES
MANCHESTER, BIRMINGHAM AND LEEDS
SHE’S THE SAME GIRL
WITH THREE DIFFERENT FACES

I DON’T KNOW WHICH ONE TO KISS
I DON’T KNOW WHICH ONE TO CUSS
I DON’T KNOW WHICH ONE TO KISS

TAKING THINGS
FAR TO LITERALLY
LEADS TO OBSURDITY
MAKES HER
HER OWN WORST ENEMY

WHEN TOLD IN PLASTIC SURGERY:
“YOU CAN PICK YOUR NOSE FOR FREE”
SHE RAMMED TWO DIGITS UP
JUST FOR POSTERITY

I DON’T KNOW WHICH ONE TO KISS
I DON’T KNOW WHICH ONE TO CUSS
I DON’T KNOW WHICH ONE TO KISS
I DON’T KNOW WHICH ONE TO CUSS

I BROKE HER ARM
IN THREE DIFFERENT PLACES
MANCHESTER, BIRMINGHAM AND LEEDS
SHE’S THE SAME GIRL
WITH THREE DIFFERENT FACES

SHE’S A CONUNDRUM
WRAPPED IN CONFUSION

I BROKE HER ARM IN THREE DIFFERENT PLACES: Manchester, Birmingham & Leeds

Recorded 8 years ago. Now if I were political (but I'm not even though I sound like I am, as it's impossible to address humanitarian issues without sounding political) I'd likely be categorised as a Left Wing Progressive, but fact is, I distrust all lawmakers, I strongly believe their main motivations are power, prestige and privilege, that they all serve, and seek to preserve, the interests of society's elite! I don't think Obama did enough to level the playing field, and that left the door open for opportunist and evil shit Trump, although I do have a higher opinion of Obama now than I did back then, but he should have spoken out more when he had the chance, he could have done a lot more to open doors for the black community for one thing.
So the lyrics in this tune are more a reflection of how I view all lawmakers, and the so-called cream of society, those who never had,  or lost, the ability to relate to the rest of us!

And Presidents should be held THE MOST, NOT THE LEAST, ACCOUNTABLE for their wrong doing BECAUSE their conduct affects EVERY citizen! When presidents are above the law we are talking Autocracy NOT Democracy!

OBAMA SWAGGER

A DIFFERENT KIND OF SUNSHINE

I'M LOOKING FOR 
A DIFFERENT KIND OF SUNSHINE 
TO FILL THE VOID 
REPLACE THE WORLD WE DESTROYED
DARKEST NIGHT DID FILL THE COLORADO STATE 
IT'S A DISEASE, NOT JUST MOMENTARY HATE

FROM MINOR TO CRITICAL 
THE GUNSHOTS ARE LITERAL 
UNDOUBTEDLY POLITICAL 
BUT SOCIAL UPHEAVAL 
FRUSTRATION GOING GLOBAL 
ARE SIMPLY CLASSED AS EVIL

JASON PACK SAYS THERE'S NO REAL CONNECTION 
TO ANY STRAND OF THE TERRORIST INFECTION 
OBAMA SAYS HE'LL RESTORE OUR BELIEF 
DISPEL THE GRIEF, BUT RULES OUT RESURRECTION


HE'LL RESTORE PEACE 
TO MOVIE SEATS 
IN HOLLYWOOD, AURORA 
WHERE GUNS ARE SWEET 
AND BULLETS, NEAT
WHERE EACH DEATH HAS AN AURA

SHOCKED AND SADDENED 
HORRIFIC AND TRAGIC 
STATEMENTS ROLL OFF WHITE HOUSE TONGUES
BUT FIREARMS, FREE FOR ALL AND SUNDRY 
IS NOT THE ISSUE ON THE TABLE TODAY

THE PERPETRATOR IS THE KEY 
HE SHOULD HAVE USED THEM PROPERLY
THE GOVERNMENT COULD NOT FORESEE 
HE'D USED THEM ON A KILLING SPREE

'TIS TRUE WE LET THE GUILTY FREE 
TO WALK INTO EACH DORMITORY 
TO KILL THE GALS OFF RANDOMLY 
EXPLOITING VULNERABILITY

BUT THIS TIME, NO, IT COULDN'T BE 
THE FAULT OF THOSE WHO RUN THE SHOW
CONVINCED BY OUR OWN WORTHLESS PLEA 
OUR WHITE ROBES TAILORED PERFECTLY

WE RANT ABOUT YOUR LIBERTY 
AND RAVE ABOUT ITS SANCTITY
WE WASH OUR HANDS, AND CONSCIENCE FREE,
WE BASK IN OUR IMPUNITY

DON'T CARE ABOUT THE MISERY 
THE FRACTURE AND DISHARMONY
THIS FARCE OF LIFE EQUALITY 
A DEMOCRATIC FALLACY

MICK ROMNEY, TOO, IS SAD AND BLUE 
TO NOT SAY SO WOULD MISS HIS CUE
WOULD LOSE HIM VOTES, AND BE A CLUE 
THAT POLITICIANS, SAD BUT TRUE, DON'T CARE ABOUT THE ME AND YOU

DON'T CARE ABOUT THE MISERY 
THE FRACTURE AND DISHARMONY 

GENOCIDE IS MINIMAL 
MASS MURDER IS ACCEPTABLE 
REDUCED TO A STATISTIC 
LOSS OF LIFE; COMPUTABLE

DEATH IS IN THE DISTANCE 
TOMORROW SWEEPS THE GRIEF AWAY 
BUT HEADLINES GET A SECOND CHANCE 
AS FUTURE FOOD FOR FANTASY

THE GUN IS JUST AN INSTRUMENT 
TO BE USED FOR GOOD OR BAD 
THE BOMB, TOO, JUST A FRIENDLY TOY 
WE RECOMMEND FOR GIRL AND BOY

THE SHELVES AT 'TOYS ARE US' GIVE PROOF 
THOUGH MOTHERCARE REMAINS ALOOF 
THAT WEAPONS ARE THE PRUNING SHEARS 
PLOUGHSHARES SPREADING WORDS OF PEACE

SOME MOGUL CRIES OUT JOYFULLY 
LET'S GRAB THE OPPORTUNITY 
A DAYTIME MOVIE ON TV 
LET'S MAKE HIM A CELEBRITY

EXPLOITING IS OUR INDUSTRY 
WE PROFITEER IN TRAGEDY 
WE SHED A TEAR QUITE CYNICALLY 
AND MUTILATE ITS LEGACY

JUST CALL YOURSELF THE RIDDLER 
THE JOKER OR THE PENGUIN 
SMILE WITH GREAT CHARISMA WHILST 
YOU BRINGETH OUT THE DENVER DEAD

WE'LL MAKE THOSE DREAMS OF FAME COME TRUE 
YOU DID WHAT WE'RE AFRAID TO DO 
YOU WAITED FOR THE SOULS TO QUEUE 
THEN BUTCHERED THEM, SO WE THANK YOU!

A DIFFERENT KIND OF SUNSHINE: Mass Murder The American Way

Avoidant Personality Disorder: I meet all seven criteria, have done since childhood, spent my whole life trying to hide it. 

Affected every aspect of my life. Had many relationships with women in the past, all deteriorating because of the disorder, with me getting out when the symptoms of the disorder became more noticeable, and it is definitely what has prevented me from seizing the few musician opportunities that came my way, unable to function around others means unable to function around band members too, unable to go out there and gig, having ideas but incapable of seeing them through.

Ironically, that same disorder likely plays a significant role in my creativity!

I've rarely written lyrics about myself, but I think it's time I created a dozen tunes that do just that, not so much to draw attention to myself, but to contribute to addressing a misunderstood and understated disorder, because, take my word for it, it's one of THE MOST crippling personality disorders imaginable; it is has a global impact on every aspect, every moment, of your existence!

Don't take sides and I'll respect you for it; take sides and I'll treat you with the same contempt I treat anyone with a mob mentality, because mob mentality invariantly betrays an underlying intolerant right-wing mentality!

#SUPPORT gathers #MOMENTUM when #RECIPROCATED!

My tunes are ten times better than you might imagine!
>
A lack of listens proves nothing, other than the fact that no one is finding your tunes; it does not prove, as some believe, that your tunes must be crap, so don’t ever take such a ridiculous notion on board—on an internet FLOODED with music no listens rarely has anything to do with the quality of your music, your creative talent, is almost always down to the fact that the right audience can’t find your music, because finding it is now as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack!
>
SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE, EVERYTHING FOR SOMEONE!
>
For diversity and consistency, I am not hesitant in saying my Soundcloud pages house the most inventive creations on here. There are others making fabulous tunes, but no one is more prolific while maintaining a high standard of pole to pole invention, and that applies to the lyrics too. I won't escape obscurity and oblivion, but that proves nothing, the internet is way, way, WAY overcrowded with unsigned music, way too much mediocre stuff, which obscure anything exceptional out there; the wood hidden away behind lots and lots and LOTS of trees, and no one has the time to look for needles in haystacks, to find a diamond in the rough, it's just way too big a task, not humanely possible!

INVENTIVE, AUTHENTIC, DIVERSE MUSIC, INVENTIVE, AUTHENTIC, IMAGINATIVE LYRICS, but those are the last things the vast majority of listeners are looking for these days!
>
Me, I'm awestruck by musicians who can't be pigeonholed, who don't conform to any borders, who don't think about which direction each new creation will take, they just go wherever that creativity takes them; pure, on the fly, innovation, imperfect but 100% authentic, as far a way from manufactured, recipe book, regurgitation, as it is possible to get, totally unforced, inspirational and way, way, WAY outside the box! There ought to be a place for such creativity, there was at one time, but a mercenary music industry put an end to that, leaving us with a situation where those who deserve the most adoration for the talents receive the least!
>
Will this ever change, will a yearning for TRUE underground, creativity unique to the individual, ever return, or has the spoon-feeding gone to far this time, is its grip so vicelike nothing can break it!
>
I make #INVISIBLE music, perhaps it feels that way to you too!
#Overlooked, #Underrated, Dismissed Without A Listen!
>
When Soundclouders follow me or click like without leaving feedback, what is it they are hoping for? That I come listen to their tunes and heap praise on them, what? I mean really, what is the point of following someone, what is the point of liking one of their tunes, if you don't actual think they are deserving of feedback, if you don't think the tunes are as good as what you do???

EXPLODING THE MYTH THAT UNSIGNED IS UNSIGNED BECAUSE IT’S INFERIOR TO SIGNED MUSIC!

>
UNTIL this MYTH is blown out of the water we don’t have a cat in hells chance of breaking through. #TheMyth  is the BIGGEST obstacle that stands in our way, it is the FIRST hurdle we must get over, it is the message that should be going #VIRAL, it’s down to each & every one of you to make that happen!
>
#ExplodeTheMyth
>
Listening to just one of my tunes tells you nothing about my creative approach, listening to ten of my tunes will still tell you very little, listen to a hundred of my tunes and the penny will start to drop, but it's only after hearing 500+ of my creations and collaborations that your eyes will widen in amazement! 
However, if you don't have unlimited eclectic taste none of that applies, and the reality is, who, in this world, is going to listen to every tune I've created, no one--if even one tune is heard from beginning to end it's a minor miracle, because sadly, there is a belief that unsigned means inferior, but I've heard enough tunes by the rest of you guys to know that's a myth, that's bullshit, we create some of the most inventive, authentic, imaginative tunes out there!
Give me unsigned, independent and underground music over signed, safe, predictable, recipe book, music any day of the week!
>
I MAKE TUNES NO ONE WILL EVER LISTEN TO!
>
Some musicians & music fans don’t want to hear music from the past because they would have to acknowledge IT’S ALL BEEN DONE BEFORE!
>
Finally come to terms with the fact that I'm PLAYING TO AN AUDIENCE OF ONE, and even I have to FORCE myself to listen!!!
>
My music and lyrics are all about different, but if no one listens no one will EVER know! 
#StevenVellou

I CREATE TUNES ON THE FLY; NO FORMULA, NO PLAN, NO DIRECTION; THEY JUST HAPPEN--I'M IGNORANT OF THE RULES INVOLVED IN THE MUSIC MAKING PROCESS, SO I'M NOT BOXED IN BY THEM, WHICH IS WHY THEY ARE SO VARIED AND UNPREDICTABLE!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Meaningful yet tongue-in-cheek tunes that can’t be #PIGEONHOLED!
Great production ISN'T my forte, accomplished musicianship ISN'T my forte but #UndergroundInvention, #InfiniteDimensions & LYRICS are!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Now I don't personally believe I'm in the same league as #Bowie, other than my lyrics, more often than not, making more sense, but I do think I share his ability to adapt to different genres, and his endless, diverse, creativity, just not quite on the same level.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I'm not proficient/accomplished on instruments, & I have other musical limitations, but most genres come natural to me, and I much prefer having that unforced ability to being highly accomplished on instruments, highly polished on production, or having the perfect voice!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
If I didn't feel I had my own approach, if my music was easy to pigeonhole, I would have quit music a long time ago!
Never been about fame & fortune, just about pushing the boundaries without actually intending to push the boundaries; creativity that's second nature not formula! 
Yes, I want to reach an audience but making money from my music means nothing to me!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
NOT saying I’m THE MOST #talented musician on music promotion sites but I will say I’m one of the most #UNDERRATED! Even so, I would much rather be underrated than overrated!
