Lyrics:

I can’t make it out
What you’re mumbling on about
Oh that whiskey pain’s so hard
Oh how I roll it out


Another moment that you take away from me
Another violent interaction keeps me on my knees, I
Pray that I can get away from the accidents of
Cigarette burns, so hard to take
Cigarettes burns, the marks they make 
Cigarette burns, the time they take
Cigarette burns, the heart it breaks

I can’t take no more
As you stumble round the room
My head feels so sore
I know, I’ll die, if I don’t leave soon

Another moment that you take away from me
Another violent interaction keeps me on my knees, I
Pray that I can get away from the accidents of
Cigarette burns, so hard to take
Cigarettes burns, the marks they make 
Cigarette burns, the time they take
Cigarette burns, the heart it breaks

(Shake it out with me…)

Cigarette Burns

This is my favourite song of mine by a country kilometer!

Written in 2002, I recorded a slower version of it on 2015 and this version today merges the two ideas musically and lyrically

Need to sing the last bits with vigour

Lyrics

Why go beyond this face 
To no longer replace and only embrace this soul
It kinda likes it…
You’ll find it might fit...

You can’t grow while running from this
Down clenching your fist,
Your hot head is too mystical
Look for the light switch
Turn on your life with it

Light up the other side
Light up the other side
I wonder when your rem you really find your six feet ten
I wonder
Your walking thunder
So bright eyed
You ponder why
Every inch of you really touches the sky
There’s no need to wonder when you're rem
There really are no limits man
I’m under your walking thunder

I know to look to this place
Search every last little trace
Find why all’s interlaced with the cold
Look for the light switch
Turn on your life with it.


Light up the other side
Light up the other side
I wonder when your rem you really find your six feet ten
I wonder
Your walking thunder
So bright eyed
You ponder why
Every inch of you really touches the sky
There’s no need to wonder when your rem
there really are no limits man
I’m under your walking thunder

Ain’t no wonder when your REM (fast one handed cymbyl here)
Just dreams, family, friends ( through this lens
These never end)
x2

Please love like you mean it
Please love we all need it

98
Don’t you love discretely
Is your heart beating or bleeding

106
Then love like you mean it
Hate all evil

114
I wish for middle eastern freedom
I wish for a Tibeten peace

122
And free Iraqii bleiefs
Let go Mugabe,
Zimbawe’s relief

130
Burmese high priests 
Come on black and white beasts.

138
Rainbows of love 
Dharma dutoies

146
Never end peace and love
No shame no doiubt no guilt
Reign.
Ahhhh


Well! at least Mugabe is gone!

Nothing complicated just a song about stealing that girl’s heart .
So Conscience Of Kings give you their first song of 2025
Romantic Thief…….

V1.
She knows Real is rare
And real is something we share
Our energy’s are alined
From Timbuktu all the way to mine

Bridge

So Before tomorrow comes
I’m Sitting here working out the sums

Chorus
How this romantic thief
Who can seal you so complete
This romantic thief

V2
She knows real is rare
And rare makes you care
Can I wrap you up in cotton wool
I’m an Taurus china shop bull

Bridge
Chorus

Romantic Thief      -      Conscience of Kings

Notes about the lyrics: "This song is two-fold. One: it is about the creation and the fall of the various areas of a virtual world called Whiskey SMASH. Second, it is about taking on the battle against cancer with a dear family member. The day that I write this on soundcloud, we were notified that she is now cancer-free."

Take It On

Water witch - yeah
I never thought of it
Oh no
What a witch - Yeah
I never thought of it
Oh no

Green skinned and beautiful with long red hair
Eyes jet black with a threatening stare
Legs long sharp claws thin black lips
Tight little cape flowing round her hips

Water witch - yeah
I never thought of it
Oh no
What a witch - Yeah
I never thought of it
Oh no

She looked at me and she; read my mind
I looked at her and said; what did you find?
She had me that night and the very next day
Taught me to spell - magick with a "k"

She is a water witch yeah
I never thought of it oh no
What a witch - yeah
I never thought of it
Oh no

Go get your broom and lets get high
Lift up your legs and touch the sky
Go get your broom and lets get high
Lift up your head and touch the sky

She is a water witch yeah
I never thought of it oh no
What a witch - yeah
I never thought of it
Oh no

She said she came from lemuria
I looked at her and said are you sure yeah?

And shes definately from lemuria

She is a water witch yeah
I never thought of it oh no
What a witch - yeah
I never thought of it
Oh no

Wild Kratts ~ Epic animal cartoon

https://youtu.be/KOPOOHCWbA8?si=0xjQ4S18KLX0I6oB Highly recommend these guys. Wild Kratts. It's a cartoon made by Martin and Chris, brothers who imagine what it would be like to have a particular animals ability each episode and make creature power suits to experience life like them. It's probably the most educational thing my kids watch. They really are incredible at presenting the creature and what's important to know about them. Can't recommend these guys enough 🔆




The coolest word I learned making this...

SENESCENCE

"First, in an evolutionary sense, senescence is the progressive physiological process of deterioration leading to a decline in fitness with age," so when an Octopus male delivers eggs to a female with its specially evolved arm just for that it turns senescent and dies. The act of doing this sends the female to a den where she cares for the eggs and then she too turns senescent and dies...

They both DIE to Create more. It's so epically sad and amazingly creative at the same time. The only way their DNA can continue to curate the world...
We could look at this as extremely solid in an evolutionary sense. As humans we need to do a lot to keep.our gene pool going. Not Octopus. Once they get jiggy... they know what time of day it is for their future and their offspring. I suppose they are here a good few million years more then humans so they must know this place better then us! They survived Chicxilub. Ain't no way humans could do that unless we stop it happening. If one like that hits again it's game over unless we turn into Octopus or something....

I wonder will we be able to teach animals how to create art in the future... Or better still I wonder do they already make art... & we just don't understand or recognize it yet
..


Lyrics

Hey clever sea satellite
How are those eight arms?
Or those three hearts?
Hidden middle Jurassic star

For the bully,
Use ink...
Camouflage
Who could ever know where you are?

Dare you go senecent
Will he use the arm (Ref: YouTube Below)
And send her to the death of den
Now new venom spawned
There, more cellular senecence
'Bilateral symmetry boast
Torpedoes take your tango

Let's grow

Hey clever sea satellite
How are those eight arms?
Or those three hearts?
Who got you sussed ..
I am an Octopus


Ref: 😆
https://youtu.be/ic7F0sCFcZ4?si=XOBWJ3KJD8vGDXoE
Reference YoUTube .. sorry it's not a knowledge ref it's a comedy one ... This line keeps reminding me of the scene from Hot Tub Time Machine where the character loses his arm. There's then a whole play on it through time as to when the arm goes.... It's hilarious and completely unrelated but sure...

Notes:
More nature passionately... This song was seeded by a talk on the radio I heard the other day discussing how AMAZING Octopus are...


maybe get an album together of...

I am (animals)

to add here:
to mention - beak // skills //suckers

change lyrics at end to 'You can never have me fully sussed, 'Cause I am an Octopus'

bring in scaled single note piano. Maybe 8 notes a phrase, then 3 to represent arms and hearts 


Get the kids to draw the anatomy and use that for song pic. I'm fact use that to teach them the anatomy of all the animals in the albums songs. Ted has picked Cheetah next 👌🏽🥲


Next one...

I am a Cheetah

Built for speed.
Short bursts
You better catch it quick if you wanna eat!
Short paces blistering
Some Gazelles of Thomson miss the green
You end their scene
By Cheetah clean
Moulding more speed for your seed
The hunting dream
by pur Cheetah hands
We'll see the fastest lands
Bolts of existence
Your fastest feline friends





Idea: Consider a new alternate more positive artist name for this material and make it more attachable to and run it seperate from TBD

"The Gaia Group" You could make this a 50 track artist straight off the bat taking relevant TBD songs away

I am an Octopus

File updated 14/04/25 @ 12:12 GMT - Added strings, additional lead and backing vox

Lyrics

You are the most able
Music for us
Our saviour

The Boy
Showing us real man
Doing it for the clan
We all have problems
We all have pain
You feel us
We're with you
Keep showing that way

Your music man, heals
With minds lost in fields
You align with musical zeal
NIN like, but The Boy
Original joy
Sing that keyboard toy
Sort out us men like a boy

Forever Boy
