Silver Lining

The Whole World Is Behind You Now

Drums: David Lopez
All other instruments: Sam Reaver

Stock crash middle class 
Counterfeit crime of a century
Cutthroat don’t choke
Better him than you on the brink

Cool breeze charismatic
Grave robbing scam of a century
Drill baby thrill baby
Burning up an Anthropocene

It’s been a long time since I lost my mind in a symphony
It’s been a long time since I realized I couldn’t relate
I’ve been craning my neck trying to see if there’s a sign that was meant for me I said it’s been a long time since I lost my mind in a symphony

Bring it back

Pill-poppin priest talkin trash 
Through the crash of a century
Blind luck dumb fuck 
Jamming up the waves on my scene

Flip top shock jock 
Certified creep of a century
I see you don’t know how to read
But you write like you know what it means

It’s been a long time since I lost my mind in a symphony
It’s been a long time since I realized I couldn’t relate
I’ve been craning my neck trying to see if there’s a sign that was meant for me. I said it’s been a long time since I lost my mind in a symphony

Bring it back

Lost in a Symphony

Verse Lyrics by Joey Cape

Lyrics:

Would it make you feel much better
If it was you against the world? 
If you were an alien?👽🛸👾
If it were conspiracy?
And would it hurt to live in comfort
If you found someone to trust?
If you knew that you were with us?
If we shared a common goal?

We
We went our way
We went our way
We walked way

Not This Time

Huddled in a hallway making secret mindless chatter
A finger that points at you and the giggles that come after
Spreading all the latest news, those Lilliputians
Find their strength in number

Walk towards a noisy room, deathly quiet when you enter
Look across those shallow eyes that turn and smuggly whisper
Wait your turn in line, (I am waiting), but the teller
Shuts his wicket on your number

Had enough of this, small talk
The most useless information
Oh Small talk, making worse my situation
In ignorance grows, way out of control
When you're the last to know

Mutated seeds that snowball down the biggest mountains
Contaminated water flowing from never ending fountains
And it's carried on by all the empty lives
Living someone else's

Had enough of this small talk
The most useless information
Oh, Small talk, making worse my situation
In ignorance grows, way out of control
Had enough of this small talk
The most useless information
Oh, Small talk, making worse the situation
In ignorance grows, way out of control
And you're the last to know

When you're the last to know
Small talk, enough of that, small talk, ya,
Small talk, enough of that, small talk
Small talk, enough of that, small talk

Small Talk

We've been friends with Slovenly Boy for many years but our paths hadn't crossed for some time. We met up recently in Liverpool and this is the result!
..............................................................
I bang the curb when I park the car.
I’ve got blisters in my mouth and I can’t walk very far - oh no.
I study at the school of life and dream
that one day I will win the lottery - oh yeah.
But I don’t smoke dope.
I don’t smoke dope.

I pray to God when things get tricky
I’m a fair weathered friend but I don’t mind a bit of froth - oh no.
I try really hard but not hard enough
but I’m a good bluff and when push comes to shove then I shove off.
But I don’t smoke dope.
No I don’t smoke dope.

So do you?
So do you?
I’ll come clean if you do too.

I walk on water but I can’t swim
I just stay on the surface looking deep – I don’t go in.
I raise myself above it all so it’s all beneath me
and I don’t fall – I just give in.
But I don’t smoke dope.

I’ve pushed hard and carried cans.
I’ve been needled, I’ve been jammed.
I’ve been hustled, I’ve been crammed.
I’ve had trips and I’ve had plans.
But I don’t smoke dope.

So do you!
So do you!
You can’t fool me I know it’s true.

I bang the car when I crawl the streets.
I’ve got blisters on my feet and now a foot in mouth disease - oh yeah.
I did a crash course in philosophical care
so now everything I think or do is neither here nor there.

I’ve got a heart of gold - I’ve got a heart of stone.
I’m as cold as ice or I’m as hot as the sun.
I’m your brother, your mother, your sister, your lover,
your father, your son, your daughter, your chum, your lifeblood, your gun.

But I don’t smoke dope.
No I don’t smoke dope.
No I don’t smoke dope - anymore.

I Don't Smoke Dope

I Don't Smoke Dope - The Happy Somethings & Slovenly Boy

Bone Of Contention

A song inspired on an article I once read about Aeham Ahmad, the piano player from Yarmouk, Syria, who's piano was burned by IS.  After this he flee from his country and ended up in Germany. He still plays the piano; you can also find him here on SoundCloud!  @aeham_ahmad




DISCONNECTED

I used to feel free
In my beloved country
There was nothing to image 
that could make me want to leave that place
I used to play piano
And sang songs of love and happiness
Now those days are  gone, those lovely days are gone

I am disconnected
disconnected

My piano is destroyed now
They burned out the devil
My piano was executed and I’m sure 
I would be next if I would stay around too long
So I started travelling
Without knowing where to go
I started travelling
I just had to go.

I am disconnected
Disconnected

I’ve travelled by car, by trains and busses
I walked for many hours
While I sat on boat on the endless sea
I thought it never ended
I’ve waited for gates, without food in the rain 
I crossed 9 borders
Now I here and 
I’m disconnected

I’m disconnected
disconnected

Disconnected

A singer-songwriter with a striking new sound, a startling depth, and a richly intense tone that instantly marks her out as one to watch.
​
A deep vulnerability in her raw, ruminative lyrics and unique vocal is juxtaposed by lush layers of dreamy guitar, letting the listener into her inner musings on life, love, and our relationships with self and others.
