My Allergies

Birth-Mark Causing You Complaint? 
So What! Just Blame Your Daddy.
Well See Someone If You’re In Pain. 
You Know What, You Should Be Happy.

You Know Me, I’m The One To Blame. 
You Know Me. You Have My Allergies.
So Stop Sending Yourself Insane. 
You’re All Clear. You Wrote This Allegory.

I’m Sorry. There’s All This Pollen 
Inside Me And It’s Made Me Hollow.
You Made Me And I May Be Borrowed. 
Am I Here, Or Had You Forgotten About Me?

Your Birth Sign Isn’t Earth Or Flame. 
Your Red Hair, It Came From Carrots.
At The Time When The Baby Came, 
I Don’t Know If They Mentioned Marriage.

Imagine It Had Been That Way; 
Your Whole Life With All Apologies,
A Strange Voice And A Different Name?
It’s Alright, You Wrote This Allegory.

I’m Worried, There’s All This Pollen 
In My Life And It Feels So Foreign.
You Gave Birth And You Gave Me Problems. 
Am I Here, Or Had You Forgotten About Me?

Crime And Punishment

You Were My Inspiration, 
Fed Me Something I Could Live On.
In My Imagination, 
You Were Something Of An Icon.

You Were The One I Waited For, 
Despite Your Limitation.
I Was Infatuated. 
Accept No Imitation.

I Taught You Everything You Know.
If You’re So Smart It Doesn’t Show.
Your Heart, Your Sleeve Is Tainted So,
You’re Human I Suppose.

You’re Talking To Yourself Again.
I’m All For Crime And Punishment.
You’ve Got To Get This Off Your Chest.
You’re Self Obsessed.

Rewind The Conversation. 
Would You Listen To What You’re Saying?
This Book’s A Real Page-Turner. 
I’m Reading This Again.

You’re Reading In To Everything, 
Guess It’s Your Interpretation.
But Hearing Hidden Messages?  
I’m Sorry, You’re Mistaken.

A Cautionary Tale;
You Know You’ve Gone Too Far When All That Goes Around 
Has Come Back ‘Round To Show It’s Face
To Spite Your Nose.

I Caught You Reading Prose Again.
I’m All For Crime And Punishment,
But If You’re Feeling This Hard Pressed
Then I’d Confess.
 
Think Highly Of Yourself Do You?
Well Above The Rest Of Us?
The Rest Are Wrong So Let Them Know It.
The Rest Is On Your Head.

So Far So Hard

So far, so hard
A slow start but show heart

Phone me, there's been no word at all
We've not heard at all
You're still not here
I'll wait around all year

So far
(So far so good)
So hard
(Though it was hard I understood)
A slow start
(We're still waiting, it's so frustrating)
But show heart
(I feel jaded. You're so faded)

Ready and open, kill for the moment, so long
(Got no patience at this wall I'm facing)
How will it taste, how long will it take? You're far flung
(How will it taste, how long will it take until the day I stay strong?)

Night turns to new morning
It's new morning without warning
But low patience. Oh frustration
Then here comes you inspiration

Ready and open, kill for the moment
Your arms, so hard won

So Far So Hard

Here Comes Your Inspiration Again

I hadn't thought about you
In over a decade
It felt exciting and new
Change the record

Here comes your inspiration again

It took me till I'd stopped feeling
To see I needed it bad
I'd broken myself in places
'Didn't know I even had

Here comes your inspiration again
Here comes your inspiration again
Here comes your inspiration again
Here comes your inspiration again

Way back when I searched for you 
I found you beautiful
Then you were innocent
I found you ever so pretty
Soon you taught me though
Taught me to think again
Sex and hugs and swapping roles

Here comes your inspiration again
Here comes your inspiration again
Here comes your inspiration again
Here comes your inspiration again

Here Comes Your Inspiration Again

That Sounds About Right 

I sort of meant to do it deep down 
I didn't mean to do it well 
I sort of meant to do it deep down 
I didn't mean to do it quite that well 

I'm learning how to tie a shoe lace 
Why sometimes feel so long
Now I'm in a new place 
I feel strong 

I sort of meant to do it deep down 
I didn't want to do it too 
I sort of meant to do it deep down 
I didn't mean to 

I'm sad to see you go 
I had to see your soul 

I'm using my imagination 
And trying to be more real 
I'm listening to the present moment right now 
Trying to feel the present moment all the time 

I think I'm getting there 
I think I'm reaching somewhere new

Lonely At The Top Of Your Screen 
 
There's no point looking and laughing 
You're hoping that I'm looking 
It's all for effect but 
Your faking's over 
 
There's no point looking and laughing 
You're hoping that I'm looking 
It's all for effect but  
Your faking's over 
 
When you gonna say what you mean?
You're  lonely at the top of your screen
 
There's no point pretending you're happy 
You're hoping I'll let open 
The floodgates. Your ocean 
Is escaping over 
 
There's no point. It's broken and flat 
See the truth for what it shows
I've seen through your effects so 
The smokescreen's over 
 
When you gonna say what you mean?
You're lonely at the top of your screen

Lonely At The Top Of Your Screen

Back Up
 
Put your hand on my knee 
Pull the red/blue wire free
See if it stops it clean 
See if the power still slips a stream 
 
If it only wants to pack up 
Then have you got a back up?
Try to keep track of it 
It’s the cable up the back of it 
 
It's your spine tingling 
The hairs on the back of your neck 
That let you know you're in it for the long haul 
There isn't any second, anyone at all
 
Wear your heart on your sleeve 
Tear your heart out before you leave
When you wanna stop the scene 
Replay it back ‘till you split the screen 
 
If you only wanna pack up 
Then have you got a back up?
Try to keep track of it
Don't let the sun turn black on it 
 
It's your spine tingling 
The hairs on the back of your neck 
That let you know you're in it for the long haul 
There isn't any second, anyone at all
 
We're on again, we're off again, we're off again, we're on again
The red is at the top again
We can't afford to stop again

Back Up

Pardon Factory. A heady mix of Peter Boggon's songs woven with live feels in collaboration with long time collaborator Dylan Mitchell. Sonic experimentation is always key whilst retaining lyrical priroty.
