A quieter, humble track with barbershop style vocal harmonies and a lumbering instrumental track.

The Lasting Effect

Wrote this song with my pal Robin (from Elements.) a couple of years ago during the brief stint we were operating as Low Flying Boats. Thought it was time to finish it off!

It's quite a morbid song but I plan to put it between a couple of more cheerful tunes when I form this next collection into something resembling an album.

England Won't Hear Your Screams

Warriors

Revelation

You’re just a process
in a computer
a Million miles from home

Don’t look behind you
only forward
at the number you've become

Our world is empty
no resources
there's no chance to further life

I hope you’re happy
now you’re nothing
now there’s no chance you'll survive

When life
is gone
one by one


Fasten your seat beats
destination 
is set for outer space

'Cause the planets
would surely benefit
from a touch of human race

Signs of failure
all accounted 
colonies inside a jar

Reaching outwards
into orbit
let the human race spread far

Revelation

The prologue to Revelation. (See my page.)

My first song to switch between 3/4, 4/4 and 5/4 timing.

Prologue

Lyrics:

So you’ve got me,
Where you want me and it’s
Too late
too much
to say that I am sorry
for my actions
or the lack of 
satisfaction in our lives

Is it part of 
getting older
That we stagnate,
And live our lives like that’s OK

I’m unsubscribing,
Not obliging,
The message that you’ve sent
is not arriving
We can't mend this
It's time to end this
We have to learn what
It's like to be ourselves again

 As you take your second chances,
You don’t realise they’ve all gone,
That life we had together,
Snap your fingers, now it’s gone,

And now think you’ve done me over
I’ve narrowed down your type
You better think hard again
Before you come back in my life

Chances

Lyrics:

Bang. Now you're dead.
There's nothing in your head.
It's really not that different from normal,

Another victim falls to death.
Let's run this message through the press,
As now the ground  begins to swallow you.

Swallowed by the world..
Now you know you’ve gone…
You've been swallowed by the world…
And now you’ve…. gone.

Swallowed By The World

Farmer Sutra

Album 7

Know Better

Take that needle and push it through my soul,
Do it quickly so I don’t know,
If you let me, break down slowly,
I’ll bring you with me as I go.

Don’t make it sound like you care,
We all know why you’re there,
But you don’t like them,
and you don’t want them,
You just want to feel better

It’s getting ever so late,
I’m running on automate,
And I know I’ll regret the words I won’t say

Am I making mistakes?
My mind’s unclear at this stage
I believe that you’re bored of the moves that we make

Why can’t I see
That we
Are never going to be

Will you suffer or will you cut away?
Will you stay while the lions play?
All I wanted, was no abstraction,
But you won’t let me get my way.

But don’t go messing my heart,
You’re not some fucking work of art,
I can’t change you, I won’t change you,
but I don’t want you anymore

I don’t want you to dispapear
But I don’t want to be unclear
I just want you to know

It’s getting ever so late,
I’m running on automate,
And I know I’ll regret the words I won’t say

Am I making mistakes?
My mind’s unclear at this stage
I believe that you’re bored of the moves that we make
