This is a song from my 2013 backlog.

[Update] I also did a later extended version here https://soundcloud.com/wheelwright-labs/pay-to-play-extended

Lyrics:

The Dauphin of Dagenham and Lady Constance Biscuit-Tin
Proceeding down the high street in their daily quest for fags and gin
Encountering resistance from the school kids at the bust stop shouting
Slogans from the internet, oh yeah

It's Thursday afternoon, did you hear the news they say
The future's here today, but we're gonna have to pay to play
And all our yesterdays, yeah, they'll be swept away
On a massive tide of glitter, but we're gonna have to pay to play
We're gonna have to pay to play

Mary Queen of discount slacks collapsed just outside TK Maxx yeah
Someday her prince will come but probably not today coz now she's
Under observation on a Section 136 coz she had
Advocaat and Valium for breakfast on her Weetabix

[Repeat Chorus]

Bring me your destitute you lame and your unfashionable and
I will take their pictures and arrange them very tastefully

[Repeat Chorus]

[Short extract from Kubla Khan - Samuel Taylor Coleridge]

Pay To Play

[March 1, 2014 -- Dedicated to JB: Memphis has its legendary Graceland and, for me, a legendary Gracewater as well. Airplay on May 19, 2014 and archived here: http://wfmu.org/playlists/shows/55710 ] See video using the track here: https://vimeo.com/105995529

This is an acoustic blues improvisation on my Guild using a brass slide for a bit at the end. I did two different guitar takes of this lament, the second one while not directly listening to what I played the first go-round, and then sort of matched them up in two separate tracks. So, it is sloppy here and there and everywhere, yet still somehow fitting for the melancholy feel of the piece I think. I later layered in some cello, bottle flute and synth string tinkles from the Yamaha.

I hope to write lyrics for the song someday if ever I'm able to make them worthy of the inspiration for the music. In the meantime, I've added a suggestion of a melody line with some wordless singing in sections. If anyone wants to work up some lyrics of his/her own -- on any subject relating to the title I've given it -- please have at and let me take a look.

The flowers were leaning towards you that day
I was just happy you're sending lovin my way
And when I hold you
Nothing could ever bring me down
I wish I had told you
Flowers just hate when the sun goes down

Why do you hurt me so?
why do you hurt me so?
Oh! Cuz I knew you long before

I left my boxers where we made love
Under the lookout with only the sky above
Then I turned around and I walked my own way
I spend my time thinking about it oh, these days

And when I miss you
I remember you loved him quick
I wish I had told you
If you love so well it just might stick

Why do I love you so? why do I love you so?
Oh, Cuz I knew you long before

Hurt Me So

You raised the bar 
a little too far 
a little too fast 

now images swirl 
and nightingales twirl 
lost in the frenzy 
hold the colors grab the lights 
hold the colors grab the lights 

I'll tell you now 
We can figure out how 
to fix to fix all this and put a smile on your face 

cause you're as good as it gets 
and I'm the killer of regrets 
that being said 
let the world into your head 
let the world into your head 
ooo oo oo oo oooo 

a rumbling begins 
the whole world spins 
just grab its hand 
it won't let go oh! 
neither will I 
cause I really try 
lemme tell you now 
I could never let go 
I could never let go 
ooo oo oo oo oooo 

Soaring too fast for words to describe 
relax relax, til it feels just right 
soaring passing old memories by 
you got better ones ahead 
I can see it in your eyes 
your eyes your eyes your eyes your eyes 

rivers merge 
wills converge 
and everything under the sun is bound together as one 

so our souls will stay 
so close everyday 
no matter where you are 

I'll always feel you 
and you'll always feel me
and ooo oo oo oo oo 

you don't have to leave to come back 
but if you did it's cool it's cool 
it don't matter this will still work out cause 
you don't have to leave to come back 
but if you did it's cool it's cool 
it don't matter this will be ok cause 

I can see it in your eyes 
i can see it in your eyes 
i can see it up there written in the skies oh 
i can see it in your eyes eyes eyes

Soaring

When I could hear you, you could not see me
You live in a bungalow, outside of the city
All I love is in your world

You live on a stage, you're one of a kind
I think that you know me
But you pay me no mind

Your World

I've been here before, In my dreams
I'm not seeing double and deja vu don't explain
This feeling that we're floating through a path 
That was paved just for you, and me

Oh this is more than just a dream
In the back of my mind I still believe
That everything is perfect

If you look to the past you can see the future too
Seeing past loves in my dreams
Smiling eyes, divine company

Oh, this is more than just a dream
In the back of my mind I still believe
That everything is perfect
But everything is wrong
Without your love, where do I belong?
Perfect! Wrong! Where do I belong?

Introspection

Warm as the Sun
