Roll Up Your Sleeves

I decided to write a more traditional piano ballad, for the first time in a while. Hope you enjoy.

If I Leave Tonight

A bad recording of a cover of Tom Waits' Soldiers things.

I Wish I Were Blind

Man I was terrified
more times so than I could hide
torn apart
flesh it all
fell off in the shower
the window left open 
it let all the flies in
they tickled round the fruit
and somehow made a fist
man i didn't know
you could get depressed 
in your 20s though
what a way
to kick your life
im gunna make
this kick my wife
treat this party like the letter z
and slip clean off
like a false leg
begging like this town
some hollywood hound

Dancing slow beneath
another fallen tree
this village is no good for me
and the bad boy in the city says
meet me by your cigarette
you can be on the burning end

The highlight of your cry
was when you were bathing your lashes dry
come by in 3 weeks when
you can come to the headache bin
which of the lakes does your family own around here?
and which one do you plan to drown in?
don't you know there's no such thing as the Isle of Mann?

There's Bad Ones And Good Ones And All Ones In Between

I Stayed At Home (and other pastel grey adventures staring at the wall)

This song is for everyone brave enough to rebel against being a good person.

Lyrics

Scrolling through your think piece
Poured thick like a kiss
About your 49th article followed by piss
Didn't have to paint "I hate you" all over my sheets
Didn't have to hang it out from the lamps in the street

Didn't really understand the defense of the killing in the school
I bet you're glad you get the luxury of time killing you
I know your friends and my friends were patronised not enough
You didn't have to punch that black man on the bus
