Lyrics:

All I wanted was to hold your hand 
When I reached for it you ran 
I really tried to do all I can 
and you said you wanted to be my man 
I guess I'll never understand it 
you left me empty handed
I fell for you 
but you weren't there to catch me when I landed 
Starting to think you planned it 
Lost all the connection and no sense of direction anymore 
I can't stand it (can't stand it)
I fell to the floor 
when you walked out the door
I can't do this anymore 
yea I can't do this anymore 
Now you're gone again (gone again)
Nowhere to be found (nowhere to be found)
How could you do that to me when you said you would always be around 
All you ever did was let me down 
Left me here in tears 
starting to drown 
I was lost and then you found me 
wrapped your love around me 
Then you turned right around and disappeared without a sound 
How do you sleep so soundly?
Do you even think about me?
and I just don't understand 
was this the whole plan?
When all I wanted was to hold your hand

Hold Your Hand

La marcha de los inconcientes

You call me up
Let's do a movie
You know it's gonna be fun
Now should I go or just say no
"cos I can't stand the pain

Stuck between a friend and a lover
Find myself here again
Stuck between a friend and a lover
Again and again

You knock my door
Say come on out
Why don't we both go to the beach
Lay in the sun
It'll be such fun
But you're still out of reach

Stuck between a friend and a lover
Find myself here again
Stuck between a friend and a lover
Again and again

Instrumental

Stuck between a friend and a lover
Find myself here again
Stuck between a friend and a lover
Again and again

Dead Boy Down


Ain’t It Fun when you’re feeling old                            
I hear young Stiv on the radio                                     
Happens fast, never happens slow                            
Down In Flames, there be nothing at all                      
New Church…. I see                                                      
I need to Open My Eyes to what’s in front of me      
Wrong place….wrong time                                              
Now it’s so long Steven so long                                  
Another dead boy down                                               
Another dead boy down                                                                                                                                         
Gonna take a walk on that High Tension Wire
Something gotta give when your brain’s on fire
CBGB New York City, There Ain’t Nothin’ To Do
Blitz, Zero, Chrome and Magnum, they be Calling On You
Don’t know what I want or just who I am
Lonely son of a son, here comes the Son of Sam
Right place…. Wrong time
So long, so long, so long
Another dead boy down
Another dead boy down

(6 lines below from Sonic Reducer)
You’ll be a pharaoh soon                                              
Rule from some golden tomb                                      
Things will be different then                                        
Your light will shine on them                                         
Feeling like you're ten feet tall                                      
Before we were nothing at all  
                                    
Leave the body bruised and broken                          
Leave your body bruised and broken                        
Oh…Oh….                                                                        
Be a Rocket From The Tombs                                       
A Rocket From The Tombs                                                                     

Ain’t It Fun when you’re getting old
I’m older now than Bators and my old man, you know
I used to dance but not anymore
Watch me pacing over kitchen floors
Like some Catholic Boy in a parochial school
I be Dead and Alive, All This and More little fool
At the right place, at the right time
They will put me on display ….I’ll be a dead boy down….

Lyrics

Looking at old photographs, well I had to laugh out loud
Looking at the hair and the clothes
What were we thinking of

Oh and how the world was changing
And we were being left behind
Like being carried along inside a whale
To another place in time

We all left school for the dole apparently no one wanted coal
And on the Tyne they were no longer building ships
They had all sailed East where it was cheap

Oh and how the world was changing
And we were being left behind
Like being carried along inside a whale
To another place in time

But looking at these photographs doesn't reflect none of that
These faces that I see and that I'm looking at
They're all smiles and attitude and laughs
We've all moved on and sadly some of us are long gone......

Rekha Iyern (Voice)
Manu (Delaflor) guitar riff
Midisound (Drums, bass, guitar, and synths).

Concept created in late 2022

When I heard Rekha years ago, I couldn't stop thinking about how I could adapt a song to her voice.

Thanks to Delaflor, who had already collaborated with her, she was able to contact me and offer me a song. After several weeks of work, Manu added an excellent guitar riff that partially camouflaged my horrible synth guitar.

thanks to my two traveling companions on this occasion for their patience and dedication.

Listen to ReKha and Delaflor's music at these two links.

Here’s a bit of a follow-up to our last song, “2 Minutes In A Car Wash”. 

The story continues with "Little Blue Green Opel"...

She had a little blue green Opel
With a short funny shift
She drove it everywhere
Never needed a lift

A radio with buttons
Some candy in her coat
A paperback of Burroughs
And a half-written note

She'd park down by the river
Watch the barges roll on past
Said the future was a thief
And the present would never last

She had boots from Vienna
With cracked leather soles
She only walked at night
Cause she said it had soul

I asked where was she going
She said maybe somewhere
Then she laughed like a poet
Who had nothing to fear

We drank in the Opel
Till the bottle ran dry
Then she pointed to the stars
And whispered don’t you lie

She had a little blue green Opel
And a map torn in two
She said don’t try to follow
Then disappeared into the blue
