Laura Inside the Ghost Machine

Laura Laura canary
Laura Laura quite contrary
It's an evil world your fighting against
I love you, but I'm no better than the rest

Laura, the dogs are out to fuck you
They're careless howling behind garbage
They're little boys inside sheeps' clothing
While inside you is the fire of a wolf

Laura inside the ghost machine
All the nice robots will turn mean
They clap their hands at paper agony
But they're faint of heart for the real thing

Laura, from a Brooklyn family dying
The worm in your throat is rising
While your friends regard more newsworthy fat
To mock about, to laugh about, to cry about

Laura, the world is sweating
Just another man sweating while he's cumming
Laura, the blue mountains wait for you
While we sting our eyes on our dust

While we sting our eyes on our dust
While we sting our eyes on our dust

Laura inside the ghost machine
All the nice robots will turn mean
They clap their hands at paper agony
But they're faint of heart for the real thing

Laura inside the ghost machine
All the nice robots will turn mean
They clap their hands at paper agony
But they're faint of heart for the real thing

Another track from forthcoming album 'Pash'. This is probably as mellow as it will get. Still keeping to the '1 track in 3 days' challenge i've given myself.  Full album available at http://lolademo.bandcamp.com

Am I Broken?
(C) 2014 Erika Bach. All Rights Reserved
.
I keep my windows shut
My blinds down
And my head deep in the sand
Don't ask me to be sociable
You know I couldn't give a damn
If they come knocking at my door
Tell them I'm dead and gone to heaven
Tell them don't telephone
I won't be resurrected til 11

Chorus:
Am I broken?
On my knees again

Always someone wanting a pound of flesh that I don't have to give them
Wanting too much
Too little
Not enough to make my life worth living
If they ask questions I can't answer tell them I have lost my hearing
Tell them don't write it down
Because to me all words have lost their meaning

Chorus:
Am I broken?
On my knees again
Leave me open
Let the feeling in

When I say fuck 
They run at me with many sharpened knives and scissors
I give them sweets but the taste I leave in their mouth 
Is way too bitter
The little bastards want to chain me to the sink or even better
To the bed I can't get out of 
On a day with such rainy weather

Ooh Aah

If they could spin my head
Into a 360 degree rotation
They'd save themselves from my deliberate menace and aggravation
We're not all happy at the core
We're not all happy in our head
Tell them it's nothing personal it's just that I've been overbled

Chorus


Am I Broken?

On Cloud Tops- Cyclone

ONE UNGUARDED MOMENT
Written by Terry Reeves, 1985  Recorded 1988  Remastered by Adrian Heathcote 2014

In all probability, the most important and meaningful song ever to be posted on the page.  I'll let Terry explain why.  (Gary Reeves)

My brother Gary and I were at our Nan's bedside at the hospice when the medication kicked in and there was no more communication . I had never faced death before - it was my worst moment. This song is about that moment. When I first played it to my elder brother Brian he said it was the best song he had ever heard. That was good enough for me.
We lost Brian in 2012 at the young age of 63 and his family asked permission to play it at his funeral which, of course, was my privilege. I wish there could have been many more unguarded moments with my Bri.  (Terry Reeves)


One unguarded moment I saw you cry
Memories brought you to your knees
A plea for life inside your head
That unguarded moment I thought I saw you

But the distance grows
Body by inches
Mind by a mile
Mind by a mile

One unguarded moment I heard you laugh
No fear inside the noise
Hearing sounds which need no sense
That unguarded moment I thought I heard you

But the distance grows
Body by inches
Mind by a mile
Mind by the mile

Middle

Many guarded moments you pass me by
All feelings inside your frame
Words and meanings have lost their way
Many guarded moments at least I see you

But the distance grows
Body by inches
Mind by a mile
Mind by a mile

Lyrics:

Go slow,
There’s strangers in the shadows,
The dangers of my black prose,
My vein juice running cold, 
The angels come to blows, 
Hey man it’s how it goes.

Stay still,
The lessons of my life kill,
The blessings that the knife spills,
Confessing all my wine,
I’ll savor every crime,
Inhaling every line.

And in the end we’re stranger still,
Dripping eyes and spitting pills,
Computerized with people skills,
Mesmerized by the pixels,
And stranger still is the way we chill,

The dancing blazes on the rose coast,
The pastel sunset sinks, there she goes…
It all turns to sand in my hands and I…

Blow…
You another kiss,
Hang it on the fridge,
Sell it like a bridge,
Share it like a snitch,
Love it like an itch.

I know,
I’m a big zero,
A golden-olden lasso,
It snuggles on you tight,
So you don’t have to fight, 
you don’t have to fight…

And in the end we’re stranger still,
Dripping eyes and spitting pills,
Computerized with people skills,
Mesmerized by the pixels,
And stranger still is the way we chill,

So chill…
The dancing blazes on the rose coast,
The pastel sunset sinks, there she goes…
It all turns to sand in my hands, how it…

Glows…
The bubbles of El Meano-Vino
The petals of a Santa Fe Rose
The story of the stranger still told.


Stranger Still

You Must Let Go
words and music by Chris Pendergraft


When Lost
We turn to Ghosts
Echoes of Out Memories
We can never return

Fear Not 
You Must Let Go
there are moments here and now
Life is Waiting for Your Return

I know its hard to see
When the past is where you're living 

Life is Waiting for You 
Life is Waiting for You

Open the Shade
Take this day
And This Perfect Moment 
Only One Day
that is Today
And this Perfect Moment 


You Must Let Go

Two Worlds Away  (Words music by David Stephenson, Copyright 2014)

She loves to dream of trains that don't run anymore
Overeager porters with fancy dining cars
Remote destinations and strangers by the score
The sunset sun is golden her window steals the stars

She's two worlds away
She's two worlds away
It's ok, She's two worlds away

The landscape disappears into the night
Her perfume lingers like a chinese kite
The rhythm of the track sings her to sleep
The rhythm of the track sings her to sleep

Now she's two worlds away
She's two words away
It's ok. She's two worlds away

I'm wide awake, I feel her twitchin'
Make no mistake she's still bewitchin'
She's just to worlds away.
