Oldish song, sang it on FromeFM at the weekend, decided to do a quick'n'dirty lo-fi recording of it.

Slow Blinking Light (Stopping Distance)

Is 75 feet enough?
Is 75 feet enough?
75 feet at 30 miles an hour
Is a thousand feet enough?
A thousand feet enough?
A thousand feet of train track
A thousand feet to impact
It’s coming through the tunnel and it’s not goanna stop

Enough is enough
If we don’t stop now, how we ever goanna stop?

Does anybody care?
Is anybody there?
They promised me the world then tied me to a chair

It’s 30 dollars and up
30 dollars and up
30 for a daughter
30 for a son
They're waiting in the car with the engine started up

Enough is enough
If we don’t stop now, how we ever goanna stop?

Enough is enough
Enough is enough
Enough is enough
When there’s nowhere to hide
And there’s nowhere to run
And that slow blinking light is my only sun

Is 75 feet enough?
Is 75 feet enough?
75 feet at 30 miles an hour
Is a thousand feet enough?
A thousand feet enough?
A thousand feet of train track
A thousand feet to impact
It’s coming through the tunnel and it’s not goanna stop

Entities
I was born kicking.
This crescent scar still branding me.
A reminder of all that’s been.
A reminder of mortality.
Salt-water entities, all the armies of all of the seas.
Salt-water entities, all the atoms of all of the seas.

I can wait and I can float,
‘Til the girls come swimming by, proud as pretty pearls.
Cell servitude, forever doomed to be
Forever on the land and never of the sea.
This rock is mine, for me to watch the waves,
To be singing my lament to the dead men in their graves.

I was born kicking.
This crescent scar on me.
All the armies of the oceans.
All the atoms in the sea.

It's good to be alive
Take everyday in your stride
You can go out just like a light
So grab someone you love tonight and sing
It's good to be alive

Anywhere But Here

It's Good To Be Alive

Wisdom Trees (Burn Down)

I was talking to a man with a wisdom seed
He planted it and let it grow
He’s been living in the tree for all his life
He said there’s nothing that he doesn’t know
I asked him to explain about my pain
And was it ever gonna go
He said he had a plan then he took my hand
He said he’d show me everything that he knows

From the top of the tree everything that you could see was very beautiful
And living in the tree were the birds and bees and everything was very peaceful
And no-one was in pain, no-one was afraid and everything was good
But as he surveyed everything that he’d made
Little did he know that one day they would…

Burn down, burn down, burn down that wisdom tree, they would
Burn down, burn down, burn down that wisdom tree

I asked him what his secret was and he began to sing
Then the angels came and they did the same, proclaiming that their god is king
I asked him why the other trees were singing a different song
He said that god would bring them to their knees ‘cos they were wrong and he would…

Burn down, burn down, burn down their wisdom trees, he would
Burn down, burn down, burn down their wisdom trees

I asked him if he could give me something to satisfy my need
He said that I should worship now the god of avarice and greed
I climbed down from his tree, I said “I haven’t learned a thing
Except that I would rather burn down here in hell than up there in your fucking tree and I’ll…

Burn down, burn down, burn down your wisdom trees, I will
Burn down, burn down, burn down your wisdom trees

Wisdom is the truth, wisdom is a lie
Wisdom for the stupid, wisdom for the wise
Wisdom for the weak, wisdom for the strong
Wisdom for the right and wisdom for the wrong
Wisdom is the goal, wisdom is the prize
Watch it disappear before your very eyes
Wisdom for the nutter, wisdom for the sane
Wisdom in the gutter running down the drain

Based on an original song by me (also available for your listening pleasure on here under my name), the much improved version herewith features suitably dark and mysterious noises and voices provided by the LW. Please leave feedback and constructive criticism, as this is a work in progress and we would value any input for improvements
