just listened over on Brian's page. Great job on the vocals, real Stooges vibes 👍

Good song projecting some relationship angst - nice and loose vocally and semi-grunge

Thanks to Brian Butts (https://soundcloud.com/brian-butts-565934842) for inviting me to create some vocals and lyrics for this.  Nice beefy sound!!

BARBED WIRE
And so the barbed wire it tore through my jaw
More spiked than the barbed words you swore
I felt my throat cut and my blood start to spurt
And it was ruining the named clothes that I wore

CHORUS
Seen it coming
I look for a sweetness but girl you are bereft
I'm tangled and trapped in the barbed wire you left
We only pretended we got on just fine
You said I'd no guts but these guts are all mine

And so the blood pours for the weakest of cause
I only ever hinted my thoughts
And every time that I move it cuts another groove
You always seemed to want to know warts n all
So as I slowly choke I wonder which of us spoke
I'd have torn you down with whats in my mind
I'm like a scarecrow from which the maggots do grow
The blood I fear is making me blind
Now there's a final breath and its all I've got left
I'm hanging onto it whilst I can
I scared the crows away but alas you still stayed
I'm a shadow of the man that I am

CHORUS

Barbed Wire (Brian Butts feat. Marc Freak)

Prolific musician, author, photographer and oddity.  With influences ranging from the lofi pop of Guided by Voices, the gothic melodrama of Nick Cave, the glam of Bowie and the nakedness of Iggy Pop - this is Marc Freak.  Former frontman of Freak Circus and Dead Joe.  An experiment in DIY and lofi.  The odd bum note here, the even odder bum note there.  But with art do we care?
