House Of Love

Fable lyrics:

Fable time again
in this bruise of a school
Your maiden name sounds different
to how it used to be

Inside phone booths you run out of lines
Loveless and condescending

This melting mood plays a familiar tune
and when it ends it's so cruel

Fable time again
and your mouth is a cemetry
with graves from stories told
of love long forgotten

Caught in trench coats, you're out of your prime
Careless and comprehending

This melting mood plays a familiar tune
and when it ends it's so cruel

Fable

Wicked One

Lyrics:

A cruel ticket to a second affair
The summer came and it left us standing
Around waiting for the storm to bleed
A cataclysm of doubt meant just for me

I'm a wounded soldier waiting for the war to start
I'm a celluloid cobra and I'm willing to play my part
I'm a psychotherapist waiting on the call
I'm a weasel word, never really meant anything at all

Won't you soon come back and save the life
of a wicked one tonight
When it all comes down to the final time
Come back and save the life
of a wicked one tonight
You'll always have a love that will forever fall

Sweet talking in familiar tones
A mixed message of foolish wanting
Our dark journey in the night begins
Two bodies with secrets of our sins

I'm a crimson ending broken by the overtime
I'm a paranoid seraphim and I want to turn out the light
I'm a level crossing, always coming down
I'm a recurring nothing living on the darker side of town

Won't you soon come back and save the life
of a wicked one tonight
When it all comes down to the final time
Come back and save the life
of a wicked one tonight
You'll always have a love that will forever fall

Wicked One

In memory of the 10 year anniversary of George Harrison's death (and in honour of the new late 19th Century pump organ I've bought), here's a cover of the classic track from the 'Yellow Submarine' album. Sorry for the rough mix!

It's All Too Much

Olivia IV

You never close your eyes anymore when I kiss your lips
And there's no tenderness like before in your fingertips
You're trying hard not to show it
But baby, baby I know it...

You've lost that loving feeling
Now it's gone

Now there's no welcome look in your eyes
when I reach for you
And now your're starting to critisize little things I do
It makes me just feel like crying,
Cos baby, something in you is dying

You've lost that loving feeling
Now it's gone

Baby, baby, I get down on my knees for you
If you would only love me like you used to do.
We had a love you don't find everyday
So don't let it slip away

[Phil Spector, Barry Mann, Cynthia Weil 1964]

You've Lost That Loving Feeling

I recorded this back in 2010 but it still slaps
