Painless End

Liner notes:
A tune like Vagabonds that started life work on a plane either side of a holiday. The keyboard bit came first and then the wahwah guitar and it built up from there. 

Written, performed and recorded by John Your Mate and mixed and mastered by Gary Brady at Total Thrive.

Words:
You tie me up in knots
You tell me up is down
But to cap it all
I know you’re right
 
Hate all that I took
Hate myself for you
This is not ideal
But we’re through
 
How did we get so broken?
 
I’d love to bear the cross
and teach you how to fly
But it’s not my way
Just the highway
 
How did we get so broken?
 
You told me your love was free
Like 1973
C’mon, c’mon, those times are gone

There’s water under the bridge
Just getting drunk just to heal
C’mon, get up, time’s rolling on
 
Chasing our hearts breaks
It's the simple truth
You can count on this
Win or lose

Human in Progress

How did we get so broken? (Full song on Spotify)

The Year I Almost Drown

lost in a gaze, and the waves
hitting me
and there was she
spakling deep
and the breath she took from me

have you seen me
where I've been these days
that year, I almost drown in waves

lost at the cape in the waves
eating me
and where was she
she looked away
and the breath she stole could save

have you seen me
where I've been these days
that year, I almost drown in waves

confident with a humbled mind, I 
explored beaches with you
waves came in and tipped me over
shown weakness of truth

The Year I Almost Drown

FELINE FEVER

You are my prized possession
My one and only obsession
I'm never gonna give you up
Give you up
Oh-No not me
No-No

You are my true desire
My boy flamin' fire
You're the only one who brings on
This high feline-fever in me

And when the lights go down at night
I'm gonna put my naughty on strong
Well it's what you want
I'm gonna make you sweat
Til' you can't sweat no more

Cuz' Y-O-U Baby
Are makin' me wild and crazy
You know how to turn your woman on
Without even tryin'

Cuz' Y-O-U Honey
Are makin' me wild and crazy
Your boy flamin'-fire 
Turns me right on
So goo-ood

It's in the way you walk
It's in the way you talk
Ahn, it's in the way you dress 
You know it messes with my head
It messes with my head

It's in the way you look at me
Gazin' all so prettily
Baby you're turnin' it on
You're turnin' it ah-on
Wo-Oh...Oh

You are my Baby
I need you to make me wild and
Wild and crazy Baby, Darlin', Honey Bun

Cuz' Y-O-U Baby
Are makin me wild and crazy
You know how to turn your woman on 
Without even tryin' now

HE HAD WHITE HORSES

I can’t help but stare                                                    
At the way you comb your hair                                   
Oh man this is not fair                                                 
To me                                                                             
Mr. fancy free

Baby I no longer know                                                 
Why the sound of your voice delights me so            
Curl up close and make heart rate go                      
Through the roof                                                          

Flash those baby blues and I’ll                                  
Flop around like a fish for a while                             
But in the the end                                                       
I’ll reconcile                                                                 
With my fate
Why did I wait?
 
Pull the wool right over my eyes
Cast your spell, hypnotize 
My life is better when I don’t realize
It’s been
Burglarized

Oh you make me fade my lover
And it's such a gift to take a trip
Away
From myself

When I look at the parts and pieces
I can’t believe how they form a cohesive
Hold on me it’s a psychokinesis
Of my soul

If this is all I ever have
I can’t complain, it ain’t so bad
I might be harnessed but I’m sure not sad
With you

I Can't Help It

Would you be in
If l'd to say
Drop back your grin
Come out and play ?

So very naïf
You may say
Indeed, but what if
In a ray

The sun is on his way back, Gee
So please
Good things only

We're getting younger
Every day
Where there's a will
There is a way

So very gentle
You may say
But in a cuddle
And in a ray

The sun found his way back, Gee
So please
Good things only

The sun found his way back, Gee
So please 
Good things only

Would you be in
If l'd to say
Drop back your spleen
And dissaray ?

So very naïf
You may say
Indeed, but what if
In a ray

The sun is on his way back, Gee
So please
Good things only

The sun found his way back, Gee
So please 
Good things only

Good Things Only

I wish everybody a Happy, happy New Year!

Lyrics:
Hopes for the Future in 2021

This day is the great day when a new year is born
and we hope that it will be a lovely year
that we remember for the rest of our life
and we hope that all our kids feel fine
and that their future will be bright
and the people will open their doors 
and go out for to dance the whole night
they go out for to dance the whole night

Maybe also the weather will be calm without storms
and that we never will see that people lose their homes
not only by floodings but also fires in the woods
and we don't wanna see any earthquakes on our globe
so that all people can feel safe
and the people will open their doors 
and go out for to dance the whole night
they go out for to dance the whole night

And I wish everybody a happy new year
without sickness or other casualties
and that all can get a job after the virus has gone
and we all say please, take care
of all the friends You may have
and the people will open their doors 
and go out for to dance the whole night
they go out for to dance the whole night

Hopes for the Future in 2021
