A Ballad of Scottish Banter

I hope you like this new surf rock song! 

Lyrics © Señor Barends

The day fell into the night
When my world lost its light
Tryin’ to stand after the blow
Didn’t know which way to go

You packed your bags, didn’t look behind
Left a note said you’d had your time
I sat there staring at the floor
Shedding tears like I ain’t cried before

When you packed your bags and shut that door
It tore my heart, I can’t take it no more 
I was screaming your name down the hall
But you didn’t hear, you didn’t hear me at all

Now the house feels empty, walls closing in
Gotta do something about the pain within
I pour another glass, let the liquor burn
But these memories, they just return

When you packed your bags and shut that door
It tore my heart, I can’t take it no more 
I was screaming your name down the hall
But you didn’t hear, you didn’t hear me at all

The day embraced the fading sun
My vibrant world, its colors now gone
No new path appeared before my feet
My memories turned bittersweet

When you packed your bags, and shut that door
It tore my heart, I can’t take it no more 
I was screaming your name down the hall
But you didn’t hear, you didn’t hear me at all

Now the night is my only friend
Guess this is how the story ends

You Packed Your Bags

My psychedelic persona strikes again with this new song. I hope you like it!

Lyrics © Señor Barends

There's madness in the air, a chilling breeze
Drones hum above, through trembling trees
War’s cruel hand, it isn’t fair
And countless lives will vanish there

When violence speaks without a sound
It’s meant to keep you on the ground
A show of power, cold and clear
Step out of line, and you’ll know fear

So tell me now, what will you do?  
When every path leads back to you?  
No refuge found, no place to hide  
Just shelters deep where fears collide  

No more silence! (No more lies!)  
Raise your fist! (Let 'em try!)  
Draw the line! (Hold that ground!)  
Last stand now! (Make it loud!)  
Mad men fall! (One by one!)  
We don't run! (We don't run!)  

With rockets screaming, bombs ablaze  
Through smoke and fire, in these dark days  
Your life, a pawn, a borrowed breath  
Dismissed by those who deal in death  

So tell me now, what will you do?  
When every path leads back to you?  
No refuge found, no place to hide  
Just shelters deep where fears collide  

No more silence! (No more lies!)  
Raise your fist! (Let 'em try!)  
Draw the line! (Hold that ground!)  
Last stand now! (Make it loud!)  
Mad men fall! (One by one!)  
We don't run! (We don't run!)  

The scum of earth, with hearts of stone  
Upon their blood-soaked, evil throne  
To tyrants vile, you must not bend  
For in their grasp, your life will end  

Resist their might, with all your force  
Reclaim your freedom, change the course  
No more will fear dictate your way  
Fight for the dawn, and a brighter day  

(This…..is your last….stand)

Last Stand

A new song, dark blues rock this time. I hope you like it!

Lyrics © Señor Barends

Oh oh  
You’re in deep  
Knee deep  
Deep in sleep  
Eyes stitched shut with greed  
You don’t even hear the scream

There's frost in the blessing, the fire's gone cold  
The silence you cherish was bought and sold  
Hands that once built now just claw for more  
Eyes glazed over, blind to the war  
You praise the lie, but curse the whore

There’s so much distress  
The world’s a rotted mess  
They treat truth like trash  
Feast on the clash  
They’ll betray you for cash  
And call it finesse

You’re in deep  
Knee deep  
Wading through sin in your Sunday best  
Open your eyes  
But you just confess

You sleep with your pockets turned out  
Pray to gods who cash you out  
What you reap, you sow  
But you never plowed  
No sweat on your hands  
Just blood from your mouth

You’re in deep  
Knee deep  
Deep in the bones of the deal you made  
Open your eyes
Now your future’s delayed

They’ll betray you for cash
(And laugh while they do)
Ain’t no saving grace
Coming back for you

You're in Deep

A soul ballad. First version! I hope you like it.

The Way You Are

A new song I worked on. I hope you like it!

Lyrics © Señor Barends

I watched you leave a hundred ways  
Without the door, without the blame  
No raised voice, no smashed frame  
Just less of you each passing day  
Till silence started sounding safe  

Nobody left the light on  
Nobody said goodbye  
You were just gone
Your words were lies  
When you said you loved me 
You didn’t leave
You disappeared

I found your phone face-down again  
Another name you labeled “friend”  
I knew the play before the line  
But said it straight, like it was fine  
I was never yours, I was just nearby  

Nobody left the light on  
Nobody heard the cry  
It taught me how to die  
While I still breathe
You didn’t leave
You dissolved in time  

I kept the cups you never liked  
The chipped one I used every night  
It still sits dry, by the sink light  
I don’t know why

Nobody left the light on  
Nobody tried to try  
You didn’t have to lie  
You just stayed quiet  
And let me rot inside

Nobody Left the Light On

Love’s Coming Your Way

Now let me tell you, what I really like
There’s a bunch of greasers, I’m one of the tribe
Yeah I love the greasers, they got their style
That’s why I bought myself a real old ride
Pointy shoes and hair slicked back with grease
Levi’s hangin’ low, the look’s complete
Mouth full of chaw and a bottle of booze
And a hot little mama that I don’t wanna lose

Chorus
Now it’s time to go — Cruise Around
Rollin’ through the city, just — Cruise Around
Play that rockin’ record loud, bang the beat against the crowd
Flash your ass here and there and — Cruise Around (yeah, yeah, greaser!)

Verse 2
I’m a real greaser, that’s plain to see
Hell, I even did some time down in Tennessee
Showed my ass in every damn downtown square
That’s why the sheriff locked me four nights there
Right in front of the White House I mooned once more
Then four cops beat me down with their batons sore
But a true greaser takes the pain in stride
Then he jumps back in his Chevy for another ride

Chorus
Now it’s time to go — Cruise Around
Hit the gas real hard and just — Cruise Around
Even if the snow is deep, we’re still out there on the street
Every night, every day, we — Cruise Around

Verse 3
Well I’m a greaser, greaser, greaser true
Yeah, a real greaser always loves his crew
And if they call us rowdy, we don’t care a bit
Try to boss us ‘round, you’ll get a punch in the lip
But if you let us roll, drive across this land
We might stop and offer you a beer in hand
There’s no better buddy than a greaser friend
Take a shot of whiskey, come and ride ‘til the end

Chorus
Now it’s time to go — Cruise Around
Play that rock ’n’ roll and just — Cruise Around
Play the wildest greaser song, bang the beat all night long
Shout like hell and raise some noise and — Cruise Around

Final Chorus
Now it’s time to go — Cruise Around
Hit the gas real hard and — Cruise Around
Play that rockin’ record loud, bang the beat against the crowd
Flash your ass here and there and — Cruise Around!
