Any artist is welcome to send us ONE track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track*. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon 07 November from mid-day on Friday you'll be able to hear our shortlist and pick your favourites on this week's Listening Post which will appear at freshonthenet.co.uk/batch218

*Note: we don't listen again to tunes we've already heard, and automatically block artists who send more than one track a week (our moderators can manage to work their way through 150+ tunes overnight, but 300+ would be impossible!)

DRAGONFLY

I do my best. But I can do better I know
By the water this sticky weather and more
Some things are there to remember you know.
I let things flow. But don't let them go
There by the lake we can hear feelings break. 
So many episodes..

Cry. I cry. I often cry. Our lives are like a dragonfly

A flash of light. Emeralds and sapphires unite
One look. With no awkward pauses. Alive.
Side by side. Just alive.

Effortlessly flying by. 
All my love my only dragonfly.

Dragonfly

..with Isla Sarson and Stuart Sarson. Thank you both

MEADOW LANE
When I write your name
Well all the ds and then the bs they all just look the same
Remember Meadow Lane?
When the flat across the road from us was burning down in flames

	I know I'm not the first
	I just hope I'm not the worst
	and I will cling to days when I would wake to see you wearing my T shirt

These threads can disappear
And aIl I have to live with is this buzzing in my ear
A place where sadness goes.
I need to pack away this like you packed away your clothes

	Holding your coatsleeves
	Hanging on tightly
	Let me down gently   please deborah

It's tough -  to call, I cant decide on keeping right or giving up at all
You've been hard - to top. I always said you're so well read, You told me that you're not

	Alone at the bus-stop
	What-if-it-had-worked-out?
	I still remember days when you would say you were so happy you could burst 
	oh deborah

If you are searching, looking for me
I'm with the seagulls, down on the beach
Staring at nothing, there's so much to see

Give me a minute, give me a week
It's a new language that I cannot speak
Feeling my way through, I'm finding my feet

	If you let it out. Then it all comes out
	And what is left is lined with silver

Born by the coast and raised by the sea
I like to find comfort in melancholy
Seen all these rocks in my own family

I wake to the moon and rise to the sun
You're only as high as your least happy one
This is the fuel that I use to go on

	If you let it out. Then it all comes out
	And what is left is lined with silver
	What I have found. Is the comfort of my blood around
	Nothing profound. I just like to shovel shit around
	And every dark cloud. Will move on if you just hang around
	My silver crowd. I just love to hear them arse around

If you give them air. And you're always there
Then what is left is lined with silver
If you let it out. Then it all comes out.
And what is left is lined with silver.
