The ballad of general kiev



I'll tell ye a tale
of an ogre renknowned
A general and gourmand
who fought for no crown

an ogre so large, twud shake up the ground
when to battle he strode drunk and unbowed

general kiev he was a crafty old ogre
when battle would start
he'd just drink til twas over
and mop up the wounded 
with a casual glee
to take to his pot the slain as his meat

he would cook in the half way
and eat through the night
stoking the fires until morning light
when thunderous snores would tear through the inn
general kiev would sleep with a meaty green grin

to share at his table was an honor and risk
as he'd take up his flagon in a mighty green fist
to drink of his namesake, a terrible cider
that turn men into babies, more meat for the fires

but now the inns quiet, no snoring like thunder
and the back door mans gone, but not for a wander
for the general he's died but never forgotten
so to Kiev, we'll raise up our glasses
and drain to the bottom

(I've got a bottom you can raise right her love)

The Balled Of General Kiev

what a pretty little accident
what a bolt from the blue
Maybe I can relax again
Inside the shimmering view

My heart skipped a beat and
Stop
Now it's beating too fast
Delirious deliciousness I suffocate
And catch smoke in my hands

What the fuck happened?
Like what the fuck
Like a punch to the back of the head
But please don't stop

If I could hold on tight enough
If my arms turned to vines
Wrapped around in innocence
Victim and the crime

The air turns to oil and ice
The stars are all entwine
Glittering like diamond dust you emanate
An aura of the most beautiful kind

So not a word, let's not spoil this
Liquid concrete fascination
So don't be absurd, let's not think to much
It's all just drug fuelled palpitations
It's been too long, I'm coming down, fading out
I'll hold on to whatever I can, until the last candle goes out.

I was explosives
built for revenge
But it never works like that
It's happening again

The hole in my sky has
Stop
This isn't the same
Just let it be with sympathy for devilry
One step at a time, oh my

What the fuck happened?
Like what the fuck
Like a punch to the back of the head
But please don't stop

Latticework

It's winding up
Deep inside of it
Time slows down
And I don't mind one bit

This Latticework
Latticework

Twisting in spirals
Always at play
Breathless and falling
In our warm hideaway

In this Latticework
Latticework

She moves with no purpose
Tangled in time
You can make your excuses
And I will make mine

My heart is bursting, think i'm gonna die
Now I feel fine, I feel just fine

Sweetest dilemma
Warrior hearts
Everything's dancing
Blood in the dark

She moves with no purpose
Tangled in time
You can make your excuses
And I will make mine

Latticework

Latticework

poorly, no ring nor a halo
im boring
im just an old drunk appalling
avoided
for weeks its a month now
repeating
and i just get worse
and more distant
a kiss on the forehead
how awful
Oh i missed you then

so i tied my tongue
tight round my neck
and kept my gaze low
to hide my regrets
did i feel like a thief?
did i steal your affection?
you seemed so at ease
with elimination
as the bus pulled away my love
oh i missed you then

I missed you again
I missed you then

and so after some time
on a bitter weekend
i washed my insides
with the spirits i kept
and we spoke of the art of withholding affection
and for just a moment i hoped for a blessing
one cruel final trick inside of my head
i wish you'd return
oh i missed you then

so to the song
and the sounds of me coping
with being alone with my insides torn open
with a phantom limb on your side of the bed
i look to the summer
oh i'll miss you then

I missed you again
oh i'll miss you again

Why are zombies so damn popular?
Why is it a strange fantasy to really want the walking dead to be real?
The badly sung lyrics on this hopefully explore these questions.

Also if you listen carefully you can hear Cody a little Asian murkan whispering the words balls in the background.

Wanted to write a song called black river blues for some reason, So i went on line looking for murders around anywhere called black river (I figured there must be something) When i stubbled across Blitzen trappers awesome song the black river killer, which was perfect. After dissecting and reassembling the lyrics I got this version.

Black river blues (Blitzen trapper cover)

Written and recorded all in one go at about 1 in the morning, my first and last try at using garageband on an applemac thing,  everything including the drums was done with my acoustic guitar and shit loads of effects.

Goblin town

Gather round my craven crew
For few know where they've found
By accident or sinners luck
They've stumbled on this town

A town of teeth and murder
A hive of blood and bone
Where nothing makes a lick of sense
The goblins make their home

Tooth and claw and dagger
Screaming through the night
Creeping through the dark woods
Those vicious little shites

Fair wanderer there's peril here
We've knives for every back
They'll peel the flesh right off your bones
Just for a goblin snack

When the sun goes down
In goblin town 
Don't you be around
When the sun goes down

Now goblins are the least of all
The worries you should know
There's monsters far more deadly here
To reap and rend your soul

Theres Vampires in the shadows
And Witches round the pyres
Theres Boggarts in the bathrooms
And red-caps in the briars

Theres necromancer sorcerors
Pirates, thugs and thieves
Dragons fire and singing liars
And a mermaid in the trees

(NIGHT VERSE)
And if i may lead your peepers skyward
You'll see the sun has fled
And this warning has been worthless
Because soon you'll all be dead!

(DAY VERSE)
So if i lead your peepers skward
You'll see that its still day
So heed this warning traveller
Get out for it's too late

When the sun goes down
In goblin town 
Don't be around
When the sun goes down

When the sun goes down
In goblin town 
Don't be around
When the sun goes down

Goblin town

Acoustic, first attempt, folk, indie, chilled.
I have no idea what I'm doing.
_______________________________________________
There's always a dragon, And something only you can see
But it only lasts a moment before it's lost to the breeze
Got nothing to do today, Got some time to waste
Losing my place in the race, making cloud shapes.

And I'm still here, Waiting, I'm still here, watching the sun.

Birds will fly, and I'll watch them glide
Painting lines on a patchwork sky
Watching people living their lives
Quietly I close my eyes.

And I'm still here, Waiting, I'm still here, watching the world go down.

Time is precious, by the by, but sometimes you've got to waste your time.

Skipping Stones

Somewhere between the lines
Where we drift detached from time
Staring at the pictures, we reflect
Where what ifs and past flood by
The one place we truly hide
Where you pray to the god inside your chest

It will come to you, If you want it to
In any shape or form that you decide
Stretched across your nerves, Fresh or well rehearsed
No judgement but our own can touch this time

In this place on the edge
We can lose our heads, Without a glimmer of regret
Every wish and fear, Can manifest in here
Denied the lucid dream, A mercy kept.

If you ever find, a dream that you can guide.
I hope you never wake up, I know I'd never wake up.
So for those lost to the night, Somewhere between the lines.
I hope you never wake up, I hope we'll never wake up.

The Door


I've got nothing to show for 
all of my effort cept thanks kid
goodluck why don't you forget it
i'm set in the ways that i made when i gave up before
no I can't find the door

I've got something to prove
and no one to listen coz i speak too soft
i'm a doormat, a kitten
and though nothing is wrong
theres something i'm missing
now i can't find the door

now i can't find the door

now i've got something to sing
but the words just seem stupid
and the chords are all bored
because i've already used them
and i rage like a storm far out to sea
where i touch nothing that will even feel me

and so, i pick up these rusty old strings
and i play real quiet because these walls they're thin
and I know i'll abandon this song to the wind
because i just don't care, i fret for nothing

now i can't find the door

The door

The Pirate Song Live At The Ship

Liquid Amnesia(Carrots) Live At The Ship

09 Autopilot

I could watch her float all day, Like coils of smoke that have never known
What it is to be grey
Rising scented from a flame, Who's embers warm the bones
And chase bitter chills away

She's a dream as it fades
At the dawn of the day,
That I'll try to hold, fast as she slips away
She's a shower in April
On this forest of flame
She's this song when it's over, fore I play it again

I could watch her float all day, she's a feather, a leaf in a breeze
that won't let her stay
So I'll sit and watch her play, with the hole in my sky
I know she'll find her own way

 She's a dream as it fades 
At the dawn of the day, 
That I'll try to hold, fast as she slips away 
She's a shower in April 
On this forest of flame 
She's this song when it's over, fore I play it again 

An' I'm just catching smoke
I know I know I know
An' I'm just catching smoke
I know I know I know
With her I'm catching smoke
I know I know I know
With her I'm catching smoke
And I wish I could let go
