Thar she blows Mr Windrush
Happen she's seen us
Turning starboard and diving
It's now or never
T'was ever thus
Now let us dance

They want to play
Seaman Godwyn
Eyes on the horizon
She's out there

And she's breached, 
She's heading for the fleet
Run her down Mr Windrush
And don't spare the horses
She's turning
This is it
She's ours
Yes, release the forward battery

Port side - two more of the devils
Hard to starboard
They have us caught broadside
They played us

Come on everybody put your hands in the air
Death for honour - now, that’s just not fair
I don’t wanna die
The officers all lie
Fingers to the clouds and wave the war goodbye

In the darkness of the night
In the depths of cold and fright
Crashing metal, swirling bite
Sunken souls prepare and dare to fight

We must draw them from the fleet
Buy them time
Brave souls lads
Do your duty

Thar She Blows

Ok...  I'm just having a pint after work, y'know, it's been a long day - it's me right.
Well, I see this very attractive woman: she doesn't look happy, mind, she looks sad.

Me? Well, I'm here on vacation. I'm just a country girl in the city, where there's lots of twits about. Well... not as many as you'd think actually. Ah, still, I was very lonely... and then I saw him, in a pub...
and so it began...

Well, everyone was still and now they dance around

It’s like the music is grooving through the fabric of the town
You look to me and the fire glows

The landlord laughs and everybody knows
A few words, a hello, a 'how-do-you-do'

You stupid bloody peasant and the words that you use
You know it’s not the vodka that’s burning in my veins
It’s the power of love igniting into flames

It’s like ghosts of lightning
Striking and drawing me near
It’s like ghosts of lightning
My heart beats louder than the thunder I hear

There’s you

And there’s you

And there’s me
There’s nobody else that I can see

All these years, I’ve waited for

You will complete me from this day

A man to lean on and adore

A look will do when words won’t say

I try to talk and for once my words
Come out my mouth and are clearly heard

I listen I laugh - you’re a goofy prick
I toss my hair as I feel us click

It’s like my life so far has been biding time
Til I meet you and my world begins to rhyme

I see all the colours that were hidden in haste
When I learned the pain of love laid waste

It’s like ghosts of lightning
Striking and drawing me near
It’s like ghosts of lightning
My heart beats louder than the thunder I hear

So, there’s you

And there’s you

And there’s me
There’s nobody else that I can see

All these years, I’ve waited for

You will complete me from this day

A love to protect and adore

A look will do when words can’t say

Do... you think ye mightn't fancy another?

Well, I suppose... but only if you're paying

Pub Love (ft. Sarah Paradise-Brown)

My friend and close collaborator @rplanes offered me this great arrangement and the title and theme that he thought might make an interesting subject matter. Initially, I was scratching my head as the topic seemed too vast but then the ideas started to attach themselves to his melodies and I was hooked. Humans en masse appear to be taking wrong-turnings and making things worse rather than better. This is me letting off a little steam with Rod's help. Thanks for taking the time to listen.

Reverse Entropy (by Rodolfo Planes and Mark J Bennett)
We drift from order to chaos,
Like it’s the norm.
Without a sense of pathos,
To see the storm.
Following your safe instinct,
Where it may go,
Or go where you are told.

We let others cloud our vision,
Like they know best.
What happened to our ambition
Never addressed.
Following your safe instinct,
Where it may go,
Before we get too old

You have the choice,
When you have the will,
And it’s backed with the,
Knowledge, and fulfilled by skill.
 
We fall for the theorists,
Like it’s gospel.
Go find yourself some realists,
Who’re less hostile.
Following your safe instinct,
Where it may go,
While you still have a hold.

We’ve been duped at every turn,
By those we trust.
Without alarm or concern,
Now we are bust.
Following your safe instinct,
Where it may go,
If you can still feel bold.

You have the choice,
When you have the will,
And it’s backed with the,
Knowledge and fulfilled by skill.

All our futures are in your hands
With all that it commands
Focus on how it now all stands
Before making your demands.

Lyrics:

Daydream in the sun
the night may wield the gun
But I'm over it
Over it!
Can't just let go
Let go like crazy eights
I just wanna close my eyes and count the sheep hopping gates
All the weight is there
Dying on a prayer
The corpse on the wall is me and I'm feeling unaware
Daydream in the sun
The night may wield the gun
But I'm over it
Over it

This pillow has never been colder
Staring my own placeholder
Moonlight spare me darkness
Because what we don't see
What we don't see might be more free than the freefall

A go at Pink Floyd's eternal favourite. Apologies to the afficionado's there is no guitar solo at the start; I tried one, but it didn't sound right.

El Ritmo De Su Continuidad

Boarded-Up Windows

The third album from Last Days Of Rome is about life, death, hope, despair, videogames and the state of the world in 2025. Sometimes uplifting, sometimes sad, sometimes gentle, sometimes noisy, always heartfelt and (I think) my finest set of songs to date. Please have listen and find out for yourself!

Blink Of An Eye

Dear listener, Feel free to leave comments and I'll try to reply.

I've been making music for around 16 years now but because of the wonderfully generous community that is SC, I have learned so much in a short time. I look forward to learning even more by collaborating. 
I suppose my strengths are in lyric-writing and singing. I feel fortunate to have been able to work with some stunning compositions by some very talented SCers.

My very best to you, Mark
