Echo

Entering 2023, with the heavy burden of uncertainty we all share, my thoughts are with Ukrainian people: Next to their arduous yet defiant fight for freedom and sovereignty, my personal problems feel quite frankly- insignificant...

LYRICS
I shake my head
To keep my tears inside
to force some happy thoughts
Into my head
I picture nice faces
Talking beautiful words
Then I shake my head again
This time to keep your face
Outside of my head
Outside of my head
Woh-oh
Oh-oh-oh!

And if my stomach will cry out
If my tears want to get out
I still won’t cry for you
Will never cry for you

I won’t cry
I won’t cry
Because of you
No, I won’t cry
I won’t cry
Because of you
I shake my head
to bring thoughts
inside my mind
I won’t cry 
No, I won’t cry 
because of you
I shake my head 
To keep your face 
out of my mind
No, I won’t cry
I won’t cry 
because of you


I know you’re there
Your presence big and wide
I shrink some more
Hyde in my head
I look for bright spaces
Imaginary places
Then I hide all in again
to have your face erased
from my own head
yeah! my own head
woh-oh-oh!
oh-oh 
And if I ever am in doubt
an’ all I wanna do is shout
I still won’t cry for you
no, I won’t cry for you

I won’t cry
I won’t cry
Because of you
No, I won’t cry
I won’t cry
Because of you
I shake my head
to bring thoughts
inside my mind
I won’t cry 
No, I won’t cry 
because of you
I shake my head 
To keep your face 
out of my mind
No, I won’t cry
I won’t cry 
because of you

I Won't Cry

Lucia Mameli - I Wont Cry

"Unfinished Story "Shane Beck(The Last American Poet) & Loo(p)cy

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

Part 6 of the 6-part series "Polaris", music inspired by H. P. Lovecraft's short story of the same name:
https://soundcloud.com/velvetsomethingsuperdark/sets/polaris

I never wake
I never open my eyes to reality
to cruel to see

I'm home again
home where I belong
deep inside of me

There is no fear
there is no pain
there is no longing
there's no shame

And the dream
is just beginning...

Polaris 6 - End Is Beginning

Atticus Pride sat on a shelf 
With amongst other shit
Was a government health warning,
To all those that pass
Atticus Pride talks out of his ass

He lives in the future
He has a time machine
It's run out of gas 
now he's stuck in 1918 

The whistle blew yet no one knew
What was to come in our fight with the hun
As he stood taking in the view
The elongated sloth fell right into
The enemy bunker inside his shoe

Motion slowed,time flowed blasts echoed
Still no one had a clue
Motion slowed,time flowed blasts echoed
he came to save me and you

As the mushroom grew Atticus flew
Out from the soil,with blood on the boil he's about to foil

The advance from within the farms of olive oil
oh my woman she cries
From the skies he cut his ties,oh my woman she cries

The ties fell,they had no smell,no taste,no sound at all
Dropping on the troops stood on the ground
All around the butterflies they make a muffled sound
Bellies rumbled no one frowned they danced around
Souls jumped in and soul out and stamped on the saints name's
Upon every single one of London's doors 
He lives in the future and  He has a time machine
It's run out of gas in 1918

IF I WAS A BIRD
I COULD FLY THE WORLD
OR LIVE DOWN BY THE SEA
WHERE THE WIND IS FREE

I'LL TAKE YOU THERE
I'LL MESS YOUR HAIR
WE'LL FIND A TREE
LIVE UP THERE AND SEE
THE WORLD BELOW

IF I WAS A FISH
I COULD SWIM THE SEA
I WOULD DIVE SO DEEP
SO NO ONE CATCH'S ME

I'LL TAKE YOU THERE
I'LL MESS YOUR HAIR
WE'LL FIND A PLACE
AND LIVE OUR LIVE'S AWAY
FROM WHAT'S UP THERE
(break)
IF I WAS A CAT
I WOULD CLIMB THE TREE
OR CATCH YOU BY THE SEA
IT'S JUST A PART OF ME

I'LL TAKE YOU THERE
I'LL MESS YOUR HAIR
DOWN BY THE SEA
A PLACE FOR YOU AND ME
WE LIVE BETWEEN,
I'LL TAKE YOU THERE
I'LL MESS YOUR HAIR
DOWN BY THE SEA
A PLACE FOR YOU AND ME
WE LIVE BETWEEN

YOU TAKE THE LONG WAY HOME
THE SHORT WAY IT TAKES TO LONG
SOMETIMES YOU TRY TO FLY TO HIGH AWAY
MAY'BE YOU'LL FALL AGAIN SOMEDAY

YOU FIND THE WAY TO GO
THEN FALLING BACK TO EARTH
WHAT IF YOU FLY TO HIGH AND LOSE YOUR WAY
I PRAY ANOTHER DAY WILL COME
(chorus)
I CAN FLY
IT'S JUST A HEARTBEAT FROM THE GROUND
I CAN FLY HIGH HIGH  ONLY TAKES A LITTLE

WHERE HAS THE DAYLIGHT GONE
THE NIGHT LIFE IT'S IN YOUR BLOOD
AND WHEN THE SUN IT COMES YOU FALL AWAY
AND WHEN IT FALLS AGAIN YOU'LL SAY
(chorus)
I CAN FLY
IT'S JUST A HEARTBEAT FROM THE GROUND
I CAN FLY HIGH HIGH  ONLY TAKES A LITTLE
MAY'BE JUST A LITTLE
(break)
(chorus)
I CAN FLY
IT'S JUST A HEARTBEAT FROM THE GROUND
I CAN FLY HIGH HIGH  ONLY TAKES A LITTLE
MAY'BE JUST A LITTLE
