Mr Boffin comes into a lot of money and suddenly has loads of friends.

Mr Boffin (FAWM 2021)

My demons, they have always fed me
Since I was small and life was heavy
At first I tried to keep my distance
Now I have no taste for resistance

Go throw yourself out into traffic
Swing from the rafters in the attic
This pain can all be temporary
They whisper lovingly to me

I don't need anybody
Don't need no temporary love
I don't need anybody
I have my demons that's enough
I don't need anybody
Only my demons, baby
I don't need anybody
Only my demons and me

Sometimes I think I like to suffer
I treat my devil like a lover 
Caress the hurt with timid fingers 
Then let it go, but let it linger

Nobody's ever gonna love you
They're lying if they say they do
Affection's only temporary
They whisper lovingly to me

I don't need anybody
Don't need no temporary love
I don't need anybody
I have my demons that's enough
I don't need anybody
Only my demons, baby
I don't need anybody
Only my demons and me

I hear them even when I'm happy
A constant scratching in my brain
Til' all my joy is called to question
And I can't convince myself
I'm not insane

You don't need anybody
Don't need no temporary love
You don't need anybody
You have your demons that's enough
You don't need anybody
I don't need anybody
You don't need anybody
They whisper lovingly

I don't need anybody
Only my demons, baby
I don't need anybody
Only My Demons
Only My Demons

Only My Demons

Perfect Moments 
 
Lyrics - Patty Lakamp

Verse 1
In the park at seventeen, I see her walking on the lawn  
Sunlight playing on her skin, and oh, this boy is gone 
The object of my fantasy in a yellow cotton dress 
A young man’s perfect moment when her eyes say Yes 
 
Chorus
Perfect moments, out of the blue
When the fates come together and smile on you
Perfect moments, the beautiful truth
When the one who stole your heart
Feels the same about you
 
Verse 2
Standing in the doorway as my wife turns down the bed 
See her kiss the pillow where for years I laid my head
She doesn’t know I’m there and it takes my breath away
A lover’s perfect moment on an ordinary day
 
Chorus 
Perfect moments, out of the blue
When the fates come together and smile on you
Perfect moments, the beautiful truth
When the one who stole your heart
Feels the same about you
 
Verse 3
The day our son was born, I vowed I’d be the perfect Dad
Little did I know what kind of challenge I had 
Today, I ask, of all his friends, who is he closest to
A father’s perfect moment when my boy says You
 
Chorus 
Perfect moments, out of the blue
When the fates come together and smile on you
Perfect moments, the beautiful truth
When the one who stole your heart
Feels the same about you
 
Bridge
A treasure-trove of memories
Cherished souvenirs
They’re over in an instant
But they last for years
 
Chorus 
Perfect moments, out of the blue
When the fates come together and smile on you
Perfect moments, the beautiful truth
When the one who stole your heart
Feels the same about you

Lyrics.
Sorry I’ve been off my game
I can’t shake the low
Wish I could escape my brain
It’s hard to let go
It’s alright, it’s alright
I’ll be fine, bring on the weekend.

Every time I get knocked down
You save the day
Busting out your telephone booth
Wearing a cape
And in your eyes, in your eyes
I always find, all that I need there.

We know some come undone
Under pressure
But you and I still defy the odds
Together.

Yeah we rode the supernova
In and out of luck
We rode through the darkness
Never giving up
Now our love is the starlight
Nothings gonna tear us down
We are a constellation.

Remember when I wrecked our car
You carried me home
You fall, I fall
But we don’t fall alone
If we just keep pushing
Keep on moving forward
We’ll be alright.

I know you don’t wanna let me down
I told you then and I’ll tell you now
That I’ll never leave your side
I promised til the day I die.

Bridge.
Oooh I will never leave you in the dark
With your hand in mine
We’ll show them what we are.

Shangri-La By the Sea
Music - Kristian Borrensen 
Lyrics & Vocals - Jeff Walker

Waking up next to you in the morning light
My heart skips a little beat just to see
Your golden hair and brown arms against the sheets so white
Oh, lucky me, lucky me

Chorus
Falling right into your eyes
Diamond bright and blue
Stay with me here in Shangri-La by the sea
Make all my dreams come true

When you came with me last night I was so surprised
Odds on that were a million to one
But you said that I wasn’t like those other guys
Breaking hearts and always on the run

Chorus
Falling right into your eyes
Diamond bright and blue
Stay with me here in Shangri-La by the sea
Make all my dreams come true

Repeat Chorus

Shangri-La By The Sea

Lyrics: Doug Haberman, Music: Jacob Everett Wallace

Infinite Water
V1
Blue light in windowpanes
And shadows like black orchids
I’m haunting city streets from long ago

V2
Flashback to golden days
It might just be a parody
Of what I used to feel and used to know

(Lift)
Why did she leave?
Where did she go?

(Chorus)
Her voice still sneaks
Up on me
It tells me what I taught her
I thought of her, still think of her
As the angels’ daughter
And when I hear it in my mind
Her voice soothes…
Like infinite water

V3
I was much younger then
The future only a fog and a mist
But everything was possible in dreams

V4
Fate plays with all our plans
The paint peels off and walls fall down
And hopes evaporate like subway steam

(Lift)
Why did she leave?
Where did she go?

(Chorus)
Her voice still sneaks
Up on me
It tells me what I taught her
I thought of her, still think of her
As the angels’ daughter
And when I hear it in my mind
Her voice soothes…
Like infinite water

(Bridge)
Here in the desert of reality
I find myself clinging to her memory
(2X)
As if it will save me
As if it will save me
As if it will save me

(Chorus)
Her voice still sneaks
Up on me
It tells me what I taught her
I thought of her, still think of her
As the angels’ daughter
And when I hear it in my mind
Her voice soothes…
Like infinite water

Infinite Water

Miles Off Course, the first single from the new Winterfalle album 'Out Of The Sea', is OUT NOW. 🧭

The song is about the German Occupation of Jersey, a true story about the wreck of the SS Schokland, a troop carrier that sank off the North coast in 1943 as if it’s being watched by a local child up on the headland.

LYRICS

Bodies stacked like timbers,
Foundered on the rocks,
Some hundred lives lost,
 
They weren’t local sailors,
Far away from home,
Lost beneath the foam,
 
They didn’t know these waters,
January cold,
Flood the third hold,
 
We watched those foreign soldiers,
Taken by the tide,
A fraction made it out alive,

I know it’s hard, but we must be kept apart,
Cut off by the tide, the rocks, the reef, the beach, the mines,
 
The sharpest shards, breached the hull, the lungs, the heart,
From the lighthouse on the reach, to the bottom of the sea,

Miles off course.

Oh I saw those timbers,
Piled up on the pier,
Somewhere over there,

Seagulls cried and lingered,
More washed up on the sand,
I squeezed my father’s hand,
 
He said they had it coming,
Some people never learn,
They got what they deserved,

I dreamed of wild adventures,
Just William, Boy’s Own,
Not these bloated bags of bones,

I know it’s hard, but we must be kept apart,
Cut off by the tide, the rocks, the reef, the beach, the mines,
 
The sharpest shards, breached the hull, the lungs, the heart,
From the lighthouse on the reach, to the bottom of the sea,

Miles off course. 
Miles off course.
 
You can hear them singing Lili Marleen across the sea,
While the wireless plays out that exact same song to you and me.

And if I was honest with myself, I’d say it was hard to read,
From the shoreline which fields they had fought on, it wasn’t clear to see.

And if you go wading out off Portelet and dive down sixty feet,
You will find an impermanent reminder decaying in the deep.
 
Miles off course.
Miles off course.

We recorded the song with Jason Wilson (Bellowhead, Fisherman's Friends, Reuben, Fightstar), taking influence from the darker sonic palette of 2000’s emo and the 2010's folk revival, turned into something new to tell this Island story.

Shadow



Shadow you’re not long anymore
Could it be, I’m not as tall as before?
Shadow, the sky is so bright,
But you’re acting like, it’s the middle of the night.

Shadow, oh why do you fade?
I’ve been wrong, but haven’t I paid?
Shadow, oh where did you go?
I planted the seed, but you just wouldn’t grow.


On the road ahead, the lights are all red.
They’ve cornered me, in obscurity.
On the road behind, there’s nothing to find,
But memories, and they’re empty.

You never know when a love will,
Their time to go, your time to grieve.
Always remember to let them know,
Just how much, you love them so.


Shadow you’re getting so small,
Getting so I can’t see you at all.
Shadow, oh where can you be?
You know when you’re gone.
It’s the end of me.


Shadow, the sky is so bright.
But you’re acting like, it’s the middle of the night.

Shadow

Hello, I remember you
Do you remember me?
The world’s so different
And so is humanity
Did I leave a trace in you?
Like you touched a place in me
I hardly knew you then
Now I’d like to be your friend

Hello, I remember you
Do I jog your memory?
I was so shy then
And awkward socially
I probably made no dif to you
But you gave a lift to me
I hardly knew you then
Now I’d like to be your friend

I don’t know what life’s about
I’m really in the dark
But one thing I have figured out
Is to not hide the feelings in my heart, so

Hello, I remember you
Do you believe in serendipity? 
I’m now successful
Not quite where I’d like to be
But I remember feeling down and
You put a hand on me
I hardly knew you then
Now I’d like to be your friend
I hardly knew you then
Now I’d like to be your friend

Shangri-La By The Sea
