A Girl Called Moira


Tired voices come together as one
Mutual Heart set aside
Lots of experiences when your younger 
Experiences when your old

Sunny day drifts away
Polite conversation
A beautiful eye a glancing smile
Opposite to none 
she's a small indication of love
 a small indication of love
 a small indication of love
 a small indication

Standing there i didn’t notice that girl
Around an immense array of silence
Knowing what it is to understand you
I see it as my god given right.
The day goes down, 
A day but in-between

Sunny day drifts away
Polite conversation
A beautiful eye a glancing smile
Opposite to none 
she's a small Indication of love
 a small indication of love
 a small indication of love
 a small indication

Essence controlled and goes away 
Musical notes sharpen flat then stem
Essence controlled and goes away 
Musical notes sharpen flat then stem
To another day
A day but in between



Sunny day drifts away
Polite conversation
A beautiful eye a glancing smile
Opposite to none 
a small indication of love
 a small indication of love
 a small indication of love
 a small indication

Sunny day drifts away
Polite conversation
A beautiful eye a glancing smile
Opposite to none 
she’s a small Indication of love
 a small indication of love
 a small indication of love
 a small indication 
 a small indication of love
 a small indication of love
 a small indication of love
a small indication

LYRICS 2011

Bloodlines

She sits there’s no answer
Dear angel I say
Of a crowd surrounding others 
To the best part of the day

Open your heart start listening
Open hearts then do say
A lovers bounding ambition 
To the thoughts where they lay

Lips come forever the blood she rightly gives
Unite become young of twenty something might give
You know when lips become sweeter when she’ around
Heart thumps given twenty something to the world she’ll be around

Not on your own saying single words
As she’s isolated to every sound
Her footsteps announcing the fortune and future
Happiness seems ever bleaker
Get back to where you once belonged
To try and change the world
But look up to the sky your under
Your under the soul of the sound
Your under the soul of the sound
Your under the soul

Cause lips come forever the blood she rightly gives
Unite becomes young of twenty something might give
You know when lips become sweeter when she’ around
Heart thumps given twenty something to the world she’ll be around

Well lips come forever the blood she rightly gives
Unite becomes young of twenty something might give
You know when lips become sweeter when she’ around
Heart thumps given twenty something to the world she’ll be around

Life savers all and all that fall
To the heart the hearts they say
A sign that meets a crowded street
Folk tale lifts tomorrows day

Happy Art Though Who Maketh


It was the start of the weekend 
Not very long from they day
Some people started to gather
A party they call was on its way
Then someone turned around to me
They said the place is empty so the people get in for free
And so it was they came into see 
Some Dj’s some Bands to make history

And then the BEAT came in 
Like it was in fashion
And the beat announced the time it played
and a fire burns out in the wrong direction
And we began to dance well throughout the day

Now for two days it was great weather
For two days the people danced along
For it shows the courage of mans true nature 
and with that they all just stepped along
But the crowd they grew larger and larger 
Well the atmosphere seemed to change
Well the Djs threw it into plunders
as the band stood up to play

And so the BEAT came in 
Like it was in fashion
And the beat announced the time it played
and the fire burns out in the wrong direction
And we began to dance well throughout the day

And it went low and the people started to tremble
and it went low as we clapped along the way
and it went low as we shout out to surrender
all dance the rhythms of a sound to say


On the third day i saw her sitting
Her hair bright colours of that eve
Two hours had past before speaking
Two hours of staring into space
For she looked up and started talking
For I couldn’t hear the words she had to say
Instead we both danced the night together 
And joined the crowd and the night to say


And so the BEAT came in 
Like it was in fashion
And the beat announced the time it played
and a fire burns out in the wrong direction
And we began to dance well throughout he day

And it went low and the people started to tremble
and it went low as we clapped along the way
and it went low as we shout out to surrender
all the rhythms of a sound to say

DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO

We where out of control 
as we turned amongst the thunder
it RAGED UPON US - that very morn
holding a poll and tarp for shelter
we where wondering if we would ever get home
but a light was shone - shining in the distance 
a light which shone amongst the sky 
she said ‘hey should we both wonder’
and i agreed ‘yes’ if the orchestra set aside

And then the BEAT came in 
Like it was in fashion
And the beat announced the time it played
and a fire burns out in the wrong direction
And we began to dance well throughout the day

And it went low and the people started to tremble
and it went low as we clapped along the way
and it went low as shout out to surrender
all the rhythms of a sound to say

DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO DO
