The Hunt

There’s prizes here for those who paid
1st place is pride, 2nd is shame 
I’m standing by the door from 8
Oh and 3rd place, is not so great

There’s a speakerphone on a the table 
And buckets of ice
For the cocktails and whiskey 
Don’t need to tell you twice

So when the music starts
I don’t want to see anyone on their own 
If your ready, lets kick it off 
C’mon your all adults now, go! 

Clandestine whisper 								A
From across the room							B 
From the speaker to the listener						
With an air of gloom (under disco ball moon) 			
She said you gotta give it up man, 					
take a chance,										
light a match and let it burn 						
Said the speaker to listener And then all sound returned  	

Now this 1st song is a slow one
The second is too.
The third one, and the last one
Well, thats up to you.

Playing counting crows in a disabled home
Function room
Gives you a sense of romance 
If you’re in a certain mood

Now they’re dancing, and they’re drinking
Theres xmas lights, and tiki flair 
It’s been the same way every year
But this one is different

Your waiting on a whisper / from across the room 	
Here I comes again but from another point of view 	
It said time is waiting for no-one 			
How can you stand there and expect it to?			
You can’t light a match and watch it turn 		
From red to blue							

Okay, I hope your having fun
Were almost at our final song
Here, pull 3 names out of my hat
Applause for Mavis and Imogen 
and, oh, sorry Pat

You see a woman there with braided hair 
In a yellow mack 
You go to her, the whisperer
As you play teardrops by massive attack


But she says, “You gotta wake up John ,you’re about to crash!” 
Theres a bend up ahead, that you cannot pass 
The her eye turn strange from green to red
And her rain coat grew long and tall over our heads

You wake to the sound the of 1st impact 		
The second sound is the oceans crash 		
And your car fly’s off into the darkness		

And the third, could be the dead silence		
	
And your seat-belts on and you can’t move
And irony, you think, is funny but true	 	
As your tired eyes narrow into the blue 		
You see a faint yellow shape swimming towards you

Home Sweet Home

Joey Gavin - Spellchecker

I want you to stay is the new single by Berlin based experimental folk songwriter Joey Gavin. 
It is the third single released from his upcoming debut album Between The Mountains and The Mystery.

I Want You To Stay

Recorded for the BIMM album- Humalaya

Go now, Delicate Doll
f the room wasn't filled would we fall?
I'd be open with you

Lay down, lock in your voice
Coz the way that you sing makes me smile
You don't fall

Awoke one morning with you
Porcelain skin motions closer to me
Within Dreams

Wild friends, keeping me sane
But I don't like the way that they play
Yeah they make music too
They sing nothing like you

Within Dreams

Joey Gavin is a Dublin born musician and songwriter.
Roots in Folk, Psych, Pop and Punk
Elevator music from another dimension. 
Bad seeds meets bee gees.
