I Need to Be Done EP

Newly remastered Darkness
You're such a goody two shoes - don't smoke you don't drink booze - sometimes i wonder - how i hooked up with you - you never let your hair down - hardly ever come around - is it that you think your just too good for me.
I'm starting to think can't handle the pressure got a My Little Pony on your dresser for Christ's sake - still believe in elves and Santa Claus - wonder what's really in those dresser drawers -  every time i walk in i have to pause waiting for the moment you take out your claws I'll never believe your really this nice - accepted a man that's cold as ice.
I can see your bright eyes shining through my window i can see your kindness your tranquility - I'm thrown off by your good deeds you'll never suit my needs i just need some darkness you're way too bright for me
Your so conceited when you show the goodness in you and every time i falter you throw it in my face - I'm such a disappointment yet you still come back for more - in spite of all your sweetness your really a disgrace - 
I'm starting to think that i should run this relationship just isn't fun for me no more - still believe in hugs and holding hands you're so blind that's not who i am - may have been back then who i was - used to hit you up all the time just because but that type of shit's all in the past - you can shove your righteousness up your ass
I can see your bright eyes shining through my window i can see your kindness your tranquility - I'm thrown off by your good deeds you'll never suit my needs i just need some darkness you're way too bright for me
I'm starting to think the roof's caving in  I used to believe I was one with the one who made me sin - truth is i really don't care could really give a shit if you're elsewhere darkness has a hold on me open up my arms and welcome him in even if I'm damned for eternity - i don't give a fuck you're too bright for me

Flora No Fauna

Your dreams open like a curtain
Upon a moonlit night so clear
You’ve never been so certain
Your life doesn’t belong here

A lock and key address you
They can’t help but wonder why
A man does twist your mind askew
Whilst you wish that you could fly

Just do what you need
Beg, steal or borrow
The strength you need today
From the well of tomorrow

If you fly my love you’ll soar
No walls will hold you in
No more breakfast on the floor
You’ll have support in everything

But as long as that window
Holds a dream and not your will
You’ll never find the strength
You need to allow yourself to feel.

Just do what you need
Beg, steal or borrow
The strength you need today
From the well of tomorrow

You will not be left
There’s no deed, I wouldn’t do
I will be the thief
Who steals tomorrow for you

Tomorrow

Lyrics:

I miss having the company
I miss having someone to share my life with
I miss the smiles, I miss the laughter
I even miss crying into you
I wish I’d have wanted to share you with my friends
‘Cause you’re the furthest I’ve got in learning to love

I don’t wanna lose you, lose you, lose you yeah
but I’ve already lost you, lost you, lost you yeah
When you’re only here in my head
but you’re in somebody else’s bed
In my head, you’re in her bed

Scraps of paper strewn on the floor
I have to stop and stare
I swear, that there’s your handwriting
but I can’t be so sure anymore
Is it the same as was on my floor?
Are you the same as before?

‘Cause I don’t wanna lose you, lose you, lose you yeah
but I’ve already lost you, lost you, lost you yeah
When you’re only here in my head
but you’re in somebody else’s bed
In my head, you’re in her bed

Maybe one day you’ll get an injunction
Then I’ll have no goddamn choice but to stop writing so many self-indulgent songs about you
And the fact we’re through
I do see it too

But I don’t wanna lose you, lose you, lose you yeah
but I’ve already lost you, lost you, lost you yeah
When you’re only here in my head
but you’re in somebody else’s bed
In my head, you’re in her bed

I need to be done with loving your ghost
I need to be done with loving your ghost
I need to be done with loving your ghost
Aaah

I Need to Be Done

Lyrics:

Could say I’m one in a million,
Should say I’m one in eight billion,
‘Cause we’re all the same, we’re all the same, 
We’re all the same in that we are unique.

Could say I’m a singer-songwriter,
You’d say I’m a nobody,
But we’re all the same, we’re all the same, 
We’re all the same in that we are unique.

Could say I’m free thinking,
Could say I became bohemian,
But we’re all the same, we’re all the same, 
We’re all the same in that we are unique.

Could say I’m a culture vulture,
Could say I’m a polyglot,
But we’re all the same, we’re all the same, 
We’re all the same in that we are unique.

Could say I’m an anarcho-syndicalist,
Could say I’m a dreamy idealist,
But we’re all the same, we’re all the same, 
We’re all the same in that we are unique.

So what the fuck are we aggressive for?
Haven’t we all got something to teach each other?
Couldn’t manners be one?
Trust me I’ve worked in customer service
and it’s enough to make you want to punch every face but
Couldn’t we use words?
Couldn’t we be polite instead please?
‘Cause I couldn’t help my environment,
I couldn’t help my brain.
Never could help my environment, 
Never could help my brain.
I need to help my environment,
I need to help my brain.

These words are they my own?
What if I said none of them ever can be?
When we’re all the same,
We’re all the same,
We’re all the same in that we are unique

Lyrics:

Take me, take me far away, just 
Take me, I could run all day,
If you’ll take my hand,
We’ll go start a band

Hold me, hold me in your arms, just
Hold me, have no fears, no qualms,
Please take my hand,
We’ll go start that band

Still I stay, same old miserable life,
Here I stay, same old troubles, same old strife

Take me, take me somewhere new, just 
Take me, I am done, I’m through
Please take my hand, 
Let’s leave this dead-end land
Grab me, grab me by the hand, just 
Grab me, now run ‘til there’s no land,
Please take me now,
Don’t ask why or how

But here I am, same old miserable life,
Here I am, and it cuts like a knife
Still I stay, in this miserable life
But if I stay the best I’ll be is someone’s wife

Take Me Away

Lyrics:

You tell everyone you’re a musician
But baby that don’t pay the bills
You’ll tell anyone that you’re lonely
But you’ll tell all your friends that you’re cool

Babe, you’re not kidding me anymore
Honey, you’re not kidding me
Sweetheart you’re not kidding me anymore
But I don’t think any less of you
Yeah I don’t think any less of you at all

So prop up the bar if it helps you
To overcome those fears
Smoke all the cigarettes you want to
If it makes you feel more free
Babe, you’re not kidding me

Babe, you’re not kidding me anymore
Honey, you’re not kidding me
Sweetheart you’re not kidding me anymore
But I don’t think any less of you
Yeah I don’t think any less of you at all

Do whatever makes you happy
In the best possible way
Do whatever makes you happy
And I won’t think any less of you
Yeah I won’t think any less of you at all

Sometimes the best kinds of people are those
Who have to try the hardest
Maybe the best kinds of people are those who try
Sometimes the best kinds of people are those
Who have to try the hardest
Maybe the best kinds of people are those who try

You tell everyone you’re a musician
But baby that don’t pay the bills
You’ll tell anyone that you’re lonely
But you’ll tell all your friends that you’re fine

Go on tell all your friends that you’re fine
Go on tell all your friends that you’re fine
‘Cause I won’t think any less of you
No I won’t think any less of you at all

Whatever Makes You Happy

Lyrics:

Everything’s fine, yeah everything’s good,
No, those words they meant nothing to me
Hey, don’t worry, don’t fret not at all
‘Cause those words they meant nothing I know-oh

So why does it burn, dry leaves to a flame?
Yeah why does it burn like acid rain

I guess what I’m saying is
I’m not taking this lightly
Those words you screamed well they hurt me
Yeah, yeah
Ooh, those words you screamed well they hurt me
No, I’m not taking them lightly at all, not at all

Not Taking This Lightly

Seductive Smile

I played an Ibanez RG & SA, plus a G&L Bass on this.

Initially recorded on a hard disk system then transferred to DAW. Perfect for a James Bond scene.

Segunda Dimensión

If U failed me on ur watch
fell asleep or talked too much
would U be my Jonah, or my Judas?
and should I cut the turnin meat...
pray the fire's more discreet
and I cannot bear the pall
to feel the sting of ur withdrawal
as U stab and slice to separate
meat from bone, body from state
yea
a state of separation with no hope for reparations
like a government treaty
powder milk to keep us needy
kill the herds...and call us beasties
yea
If U fail me on ur watch
fall asleep or talk too much
U will be my Jonah, my Judas
though I truly did not know
that I would ever see U go
but U will live to carry on...tho not the Jonah or the Judas...
to whom I refer
and my heart is badly wounded
my will is limping in
for I cut that turning meat
gave to Fire...that rancid treat
and I cannot bear the pall
cause the side effects of that withdrawal
removed all hope of reparations
and I'm left in a state of separation

Call Us Beasties

Singer-songwriter from Mid Wales

Hi! This is my second account. Ran out of room on the first!
www.soundcloud.com/sally_c

I sing acoustic singer-songwriter music, or folk-pop. I started out by learning the piano when I was five years old, and the violin followed shortly afterwards, then the clarinet, the harp...
I concentrate on guitar and ukulele-based tunes now, with songs also written for piano, for example 'Comet' which received airplay with BBC Radio 6. I graduated from university with a degree in Music and Creative Writing in 2013. I like to think I knew how to write a good tune before I got anywhere near university...
I've toured around the UK festival scene as an up and coming act and released two EPs. I got to play the same festival with the likes of Tom Odell, Frank Turner, Razorlight, John Newman: big British names. I'm an independent musician with big aspirations.
