Lyrics:

Falling down, down on your knees,
Hiding your face, crying "stay with me, please"
You look up to the blackest sky
There's nothing there, just a void and the echo of one last goodbye
And you say "Oh my god, what have I done?
Walking away, I'll see you the other side
In a distant dream" 
Saying those things brought comfort to you
"Forgive me, Lover, for I have sinned"

Whispering your name
I feel so lonely waiting in vain,
Energy wasted in the empty space.
Blinded by the darkest night,
 We carry the weight of the world on our shoulders
 And it hurts more than any other pain.

And nothing is ever easy
It seems there's no way out,
No shortcut other than what we've got.
Everything's fading 
and time is healing the scars we've made to eachother.

Whispering your name
I feel so lonely waiting in vain...

You look up to the blackest sky
There's nothing there, just a void and the echo of one last goodbye.
"Oh my god, what have i done?
Walking away, I'll see you on the other side
In a distant dream"
Walking away was the biggest sin
And nothing is ever easy,
It seems there's no way out.


One Last Goodbye (with The Circulating Light)

No I'm not tempting nothing
She's criminally insane
She smiled and pulled the trigger
And blew out some poor guy's brain
I wonder what she's thinking (crazy)
As she cruises to hell (hot dog)
Excuse me take a moment (faze me)
There's crooked tales to tell (in my blog)

CHORUS
Presented a signed confession
And it is written in blood
You know she's really not messing
As the bodies fall
Thud
She's got an itchy trigger finger
And you really shouldn't linger

She has a craving for violence
She likes to hear a guy squirm
So very quick to anger
So don't speak out of turn
I hope you're good at running (faster)
Cuz she's the greatest shot (hot dog)
I really couldn't be bothered (I'm plastered)
Oh give me all that you've got

CHORUS

No I'm not tempting nothing
She's criminally insane
I taste the blood I'm bleeding
I'm feeling severe pain
I wonder what she's thinking (crazy)
As she cruises to hell (hot dog)
So pretty like an angel (faze me)
Of death with tales to tell (in my blog)

CHORUS

Itchy Trigger Finger

Graeme says.....This started off as a vaguely pleasant but unremarkable little instrumental demo which I'd filed away wondering what, if anything could be done to bring it up to scratch....... Luckily, along came Gina who breathed some new life into it and it ended up becoming this chilled out little pop song....
Gina says....This song is a ramble about life going off into other directions than you had originally planned and then finding that you need to re-start with that original plan because the side-track ended up a dead end.....

I lost my reason for coming
While I was talking to you 
I didn't know that someone
Could be so real
I lost my reason for coming 
While I was talking to you 
Never dreamed that someone
Could give me that feel
mmmmm
And you were travelling right
In the same direction as me
And you were so real 
And you gave me that feel
So I went forward with you
Down along your streets
Anywhere with you
Perfect place to be mmmm

And now I'm trying 
And I won't stop
I got my heart set
On turning this around
Turning this around once again

But now I'm stepping on sparks
It's a one way game
There were always two sides to be sure
Oh you took care to only show me one
Until flipping
Lands the other side up 
And I'm down.
So down

So yeah I'm back at the front door
Trying to recall
My reason for coming
Yeah I'm back at the front door
Wish I could recall
My reason for coming

But there's that feel and so real
Just like when I was talking to you.

9000 Things To See

Keep me forever

Sidetracked Dream

When Joey wrote out his Christmas list
Many years before The Ramones existed
He made a wish and to his surprise
Santa Claus appeared before his eyes

CHORUS
And Joey he went Hey! Hey! Hey!
And Santa Claus went Ho Ho Ho
And Joey gave out a Hey! Hey! Hey!
And both of them sang Hey Ho! Let's Go
It's Christmas
It's Christmas time

A leather jacket and some drain pipe jeans
Were on the list as well as other things
Santa had a sherry and Joey a mince pie
They rocked some Christmas carols well into the night

CHORUS

Joey unwrapped a mean pair of shades
The same pair that he wore for decades
One too many sherrys Santa's drunk as a skunk
Joey is a kid and Santa is a punk

CHORUS

When Joey Met Santa (Hey Ho!  Its Christmas)

a.k.a the serious EP. Life is not full of sunshine and rainbows.

Composed February 2018, recorded December 2020. Unrequited love sucks , but in my opinion, it's better to be rejected on the spot than led on.

(Lyrics)

(Verse 1)
It was too good to be true, too bad it didn't work.
Too perfect for me and eternity.
If we can turn back time, before you broke my heart,
before I fell in love, before we even start.

(Chorus)
Pass me by, you really didn't have to make me cry.
All you had to do was pass me by. 
You really didn't have to make me cry, pass me by.

(Verse 2)
You shouldn't lead me on, a true heart that you lack.
I hope you meet someone and Karma pays you back.
So much in common, thought we're doing fine.
Thought you will be mine, if we can turn back time.

(Chorus)

(Bridge) If we can turn back time, all you had to do is

(Chorus)

Pass Me By
