666 …Devilishly Good!

Cast of characters:
mistermark--@user-432503709--Mark---Piano, drums, production and composition
Llanpsych--@llanpsych--Tez—electric guitar, production, and mix
Entheogenic Psychonaught (Josh Clary)--@josh-clary-1—four string fretless bass and electric guitar
This is a song that originated with Mark, and existed as a song he wrote on the piano after, like many of us, getting back into playing following an extended hiatus. He sent it to me, who added the fretless bass and some delay-heavy electric guitar. After that, Mark added the catchy, powerful drums and made a couple of key editorial changes. Then we got Tez involved, who added not only the screaming guitar parts in the meat of the song, but also the entire coda at the end. Tez also produced and mixed this for us, expertly. This is the first of hopefully many songs Tez and I do with Mark. We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed making it.

Trapped Rat

When I was young I remember watching Bob Geldof of The Boomtown Rats on Top Of The Pops rip up a picture of John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John from Grease. Summer nights had been at number 1 for seven weeks. The Rats had knocked it off to take the number one spot with Rat Trap. 
I was around 11 and thought this guy is so cool and the music and storytelling lyrics captivated me. 
This is the reason I wanted to be a frontman which lead on my journey of music from playing live at Birmingham’s Nec, releasing singles, albums on various labels and finally my last ever band gig selling out Ronnie Scott’s. 
These days I’m more of a bedroom rockstar recording remotely which suits me fine. It’s a young man’s game.
Trapped Rat is a continued story of Rat Trap and how in my head I thought Billy & Judy ended up 45 years later.
Yes I know it’s a long track but stick with the story as it’s a short story in song.
Noobly said it’s our Jungleland like Springsteen and I agree with him.
Hope you enjoy the journey because Rat Trap still remains one of my favourite all time tunes. 
And Geldof in his early work was a lyrical inspiration to me. 

V1
Billy rocks from side to side sitting in the darkness 
Hes listening to music that now makes him feel worthless 
The songs they remind him of those younger days 
When he thought he had no future 
And needed to change his ways 

Bridge pre chorus 
And Gorgeous  Judy was the only precious thing 
And he don’t see her no more 
Cause he’s a troubled thing 
Who  are the Rats who are the people 
it’s hard to decide for Billy theses days

V2
Billy don’t leave the house only to go down the offey 
8 on the dot to buy cheap booze and backey 
He still pushes the button to cross that busy road 
He’s now in his early sixties and god he feels the cold 

(Bridge pre chorus )
As the youths are hanging around the yellow streets lights 
In years gone by he would have picked a fight 
Who  are the Rats who are the people 
it’s hard to decide for Billy theses days

Chorus 
Your still  a trapped rat Billy 
Cause you never left the cage 
Your still a trapped rat Billy 
Cause you never left the cage 
Even in your old age x2



V3
Judy made a life with some hot shot lawyer
And her life with Billy is just something that annoys her
And when she arrives she pictures the Italian cafe 
It’s new bricks and mortar shes now visiting her and Billy’s daughter 

V4
Judy now in the bracket of middle classes 
And now drinks her coffee in double walled borosilicate glasses
And now 50p is  the least of her worries & cares 
She lives the highlife with panache grace &  flair

(Bridge pre chorus)
She don’t speak of Billy and nights spent together 
She as her own family from the land of never never 
She knows the rats 
She know the people 
It’s not hard for Judy  to decide these days
These days

NICE GIRL ON A BIKE (Lyrics)
(Not a love song, but a song about mindfulness.)
Intro
V1
Again one of these days.
I had to get out into the light.
To escape the darkness.
V2
So I took a walk around the block.
Sun on my face.
Fresh air in my lungs.
PRE-CHORUS
Lost in thoughts and totally relaxed.
My walk became longer and longer.
V3
I found myslef sitting on a park bench.
I sat there, thoughtful and alone.
But I´m not going home.
V4
People walked past me.
Alone, in pairs or with their dog.
I didn`t want to look at the clock.
PRE-CHORUS
I was lost in thoughts and completely relaxed.
My day was getting better and better.
CHORUS
I saw a girl on a bike.
She came from the right.
Still very far away. 
She will never know.
That she made my day.
V5
Now she drove past me.
She greeted me kindly.
She looked pretty in her summer dress.
V6
That brief moment felt so good.
Somehow I felt good again.
I will hang onto it as long as I can.
BIDGE
That special moment.
She greeted so kindly!
Just like that.
I didnt´t know I was missing – 
something like that. (Something like that.)
CHORUS
I saw a girl on a bike.
She came from the right.
I thank you for this moment.
Nice girl on a bike.
CHORUS
That brief moment.
Felt so good.
Somehow I felt fine.
I will hang onto it -
as long as I can.
OUTRO
I thank you for this moment.
Nice girl on a bike!
Nice girl on a bike!

Almond eyes look through the floor
Toxic vapours slip the door 
Inebriated mind entrenched 
Consciousness cannot be wrenched
Is my soul entirely mine 
Appropriated any time 
Eyes are open is it real 
Fingers numb now cannot feel 

Floating right out through the sheet 
Walking streets without my feet
Scarlet purple sleeping bruise 
Mind devoid of any clues 
Did you see my fucking trance 
Make a merry little dance 
Puncture pricks in every vein 
Never gonna feel the same 

Do those greys come when I rest 
Keep me under house arrest 
Bounce me down a silver beam 
Intoxicated in a dream 
Distant pictures in my head
Waking legs now full of lead
Penetrate and splice the gene
No one hears the vacuum scream 

Floating right out through the sheet 
Walking streets without my feet
Scarlet purple sleeping bruise 
Mind devoid of any clues 
Did you see my fucking trance 
Make a merry little dance 
Puncture pricks in every vein 
Never gonna feel the same 

Grey metallic bleeper chips 
Distant sound of water drips 
Leaving base reality 
Lost all sense of gravity  
Stretching through the layer seams
Colder textured alloy gleams 
Motor-senses all in flight  
Please return me to the night

Floating right out through the sheet 
Walking streets without my feet
Scarlet purple sleeping bruise 
Mind devoid of any clues 
Did you see my fucking trance 
Make a merry little dance 
Puncture pricks in every vein 
Never gonna feel the same

BRUISE

“Not a Mistake” is a dark and unapologetic anthem about betrayal, lies, and the pain of choices disguised as accidents. Blending alternative rock intensity with trap-driven beats, this track tears away the excuses and exposes the truth: some scars aren’t mistakes — they’re deliberate acts that can’t be undone.
With bitter verses, explosive screaming choruses, and a cutting bridge, the song captures the raw anger of facing deception head-on and finding strength in walking away. It’s not just heartbreak — it’s the final confrontation with betrayal.
