Six Black Cans

My Kamikaze

My heart's beating with some strange emotion
(What remains)
I think I swallowed an indian love potion
(What remains)
My heart cracked once and so did my liver
(What remains)
When half my life floated east down the river
(What remains)

CHORUS
But you're gorgeous
You're divine
So contagious
And all mine
Nothing tiresome
Nothing wanes
It's outrageous!

Black liquid that ran through my bones
(What remains)
My skin dented from too many stones
(What remains)
My back broke, I'm a little more brittle
(What remains)
I no longer play the second fiddle
(What remains)

CHORUS

Dark energy was sucked from my brain
(What remains)
Leaving nothing but an unsavoury stain
(What remains)
But I've recovered and I couldn't ask for better
(What remains)
Just hope what remains doesn't upset her
(What remains)

CHORUS
What remains

What Remains

Falling Water Lane

Written October 2022.  Threats of armageddon are stupid beyond belief.  Listen with headphones.


Don’t Cross That Line 


I go to bed so fearful 
I wake up so tearful 
Don’t want to see those flowers of yours bloom 
I have children you see 
And I love my family 
I don’t want to know that they’re all doomed 

So what gives you the right 
To cloak the world in night 
And set a dying wreath upon our tomb 
Please don’t cross that line 
Please don’t cross that line 
Please don’t cross that line 
Just let the daylight shine 

To see the rockets fall 
In blinding flashes all
Where everything I love will be consumed 
The power that it brings 
To which your dirty fingers cling 
Means nothing to those alive nor in the womb

So what gives you the right 
To cloak the world in night 
And set a dying wreath upon our tomb 
Please don’t cross that line 
Please don’t cross that line 
Please don’t cross that line 
Just let the daylight shine

The world should only be over 
When the sun goes supernova 
And not burnt on the whim 
Of one whose ego matters more to him
Than all the lives you disrespect 
Who it should be your duty to protect 
Not destroy while you stand so proud 
In the shadow of a mushroom cloud 
But would press the button and then hunker 
Down inside a concrete bunker 
To emerge when entire nations
Are engulfed by the conflagrations 
And if this is what goes through your mind 
I don’t trust you not to cross that line 

So what gives you the right 
To cloak the world in night 
And set a burning wreath upon our tomb 
Please don’t cross that line 
Don’t you cross that line 
Don’t you cross that line 
Just let the daylight shine

Oh you’re all the same 
Leaders just in name 
Tyrants, despots, dictators, all fools 
As you try to shape the world 
With your hellish flags unfurled 
You’re creatures of my nightmares, demons, ghouls 

So what gives you the right 
To cloak the world in night 
And set a burning wreath upon our tomb 
Please don’t cross that line 
Don’t you cross that line 
Don’t you cross that line 
Just let the daylight shine

Don’t Cross That Line

Piano Piece #5

Night Drives

Nocturne

mind cogs set to grind,
but life is an illusion,
still I can't seem to find,
my way past the door,

why can't I be,
faithful be me?
if I, 
if I could only stop it for a minute,
preened on the pain,
couldn't explain,
if I, 
if I could only stop it for a minute,

the light is all around you,
the Sun has finally found you,
it's you that's turned away,
to live your life astray,
chasing eternal grey,

pick it, pick it GOOD,

I'm losing the moment,

I'm not killing time,
time is killing me,

I'm a lesson unlearned,
I'm a bridge to be burned,
I'm staring at the wall,
doing nothing at all,

I've got nothing to say,
but I'll say it with conviction.
I thought I knew the way,
but it didn't mean a thing,

why can't I be, 
faithful to me?
if I,
if I could onlly take the world and spin it,
lonely denier,
must pass through the fire,
if I, 
if I could only stop for a minute,

wringing in the wrath,
and there is no path,
so tell the stumbling block,
it's the way that you walk,
that's the key in the lock,

‘Moon Moth’ The long awaited debut album from Lola in Slacks is finally here and will be released on 22 October 2021 on Glasgow’s ‘Last Night from Glasgow’ label.

There’s somewhat of a sense of mystery around this ambitious, literate outfit. Charismatic singer Louise Reid is the focal point, with songwriting partner and guitarist Brian McFie providing skilful garage grind and spiraling melody. Lesley McLaren has a growing reputation in her own right as a great rock 'n' roll drummer, and the band is fleshed out by Davy Irvin on bass and Fiona Shannon on piano and keys. 
‘Trocchi's Canal’ takes the beautifully crafted song-writing of Reid and McFie into another realm, a strand of romantic adventurism which is a precious rarity in these times.
