Salapärane Tunnel

A curious little ditty… tail-end of a jam, with me singing and playing acoustic guitar, Charlie Villiers on electric, and Leon Carter adding a little smattering of drums and backing vocals. I added the bass afterwards, and resisted the temptation to add anything else!

…although… if I had some bongos…!!!

Radiophonia 2 -The Cove

At a Dead Party

don't overdose on the supply my better me told me
the opps i thank them; cause they keep me in check
the opps; only ones that'll hold me when i get reckless

kill me; sorry for trying you like that
wanted to see if you had the sass; guess not
the sharpest cat; don't let me go feline
scratch you with them; claws; jus kidding; give you ay paw

became ay black sheep
they picked on em; now they playing snitch
i know they ways; read them from ay mile away
Bill Gates; intelligent; Machiavelli; conniving
L-D Caprio; i can play any face

sorry for forgetting your compliment
sorry for withholding the praise
hard to get; yea i'm ay player
contradiction; make them hard to figure out

excuse me; pardon me; gotta keep it moving
another cig to match; another kid to misjudge
yea they ayn't got the balls; reveal they faults
i'm getting so tough; pliz help me before i go haywire

said they got rich at they daddy's crib
everyone so cool; everyone so cool
why; they don't care what i did
i'm such an influence; hard to fluence
don't give em your presence to much
hard to forget; i miss your presence
sorry for not playing your game

narcissist; idiot; how you make me your slave
called me out; i didn't give her ay glance
the truth stings; yea i know
your voice so lovely; i'll never tell you; be quiet

they know i'm the insanest; i'll take they life
that went dark; sorry for killing the vibe
Horseman Bojack; high functioning
modern families; need us; give em something talk about

your father ay fucker; he humiliated me
thanks to that cool officer that wrote me that letter
to win they favor

sorry for acting out; peace out; till tomorrow
Snowpiercer; i make it to the back row

gots too out of hand; they made it- 
said they made em an example
pedophiles; we burn em; pedophiles; learn from em

I'm ay demon; with ay bright side
turn pain; into pleasure
i show kids; there more than one nature

‘Will we be fools again’ 
Written in September 2023 after standing in a queue in Starbucks, looking out at a wet, dirty and declining High Street.  I had been been watching the people in town, including one particular couple locked into an intense conversation under an umbrella. They prompted the story in the song. 

I wanted the backing to be sparser and more guitar led to give it an edge. I also wanted the instrumental in the middle to have a woozy, emotional feel to it. 

It’s a song about everyday people ‘stuff’ against a backdrop of a slowly deteriorating townscape. It couldn’t be slick (and I couldn’t be no matter how hard I try!) I hope you enjoy the song. Best with headphones! 

Take care

James (lyrics below) 

Will we be fools again? 

The chewing gum looks like leopard spots on the pavements in the rain
And litter blocks the drains again

Recklessly, we agreed to meet, after these silent years
Now there’s excitement and fear!

Behind the wall, by the social club, an old sanctuary for lovers 

We’ll talk, we’ll laugh 
and then I’ll start to think 
will we be fools again?
Will we be fools again? 

Graffiti on the empty shops, can our town survive?
And meanwhile we destabilise our lives! 

What fools we’d be, to lift the lid and let those lies escape 
Just think of all the hearts we’d break 

But we’re in your car, the radio’s on, as we unwrap the past! 

That smile! Those eyes!
Make me start to think
Will we be fools again?
Will we be fools again?

I’m aware, yeah I’m aware, 
I know where my fault lines are
And you’re spread right across them!  
Right across them.. yeah!

Instrumental 

Yes, we’ll talk, we’ll laugh
You know I’ll start to think
Let us be fools again
Please let us be fools again

Yes, we’ll touch, we’ll kiss
And then the path is clear
For us fools again
Let us be fools again….please, please..
