Wait for Me by Dolly Mavies with full band performed and recorded at Grand Chapel Studios.

Lyrics

I've been waiting in line 
Waiting for your call
And by you I mean me
I don't need you at all
I've been listening loud
Listening to all I hear
And my eyes have been closed
For too long to disappear 
'Cause I'm still here 
I'm still here

I'll walk into the ocean 
And waves and I'll consume the sea
I'm not waving but drowning
Why don't you come and save me
I'm all skin and bone 
Lines of hope and little fate
We walk into the ocean and watch as our lives break
Break for me
Break for me 

Breathe in breathe out
Breathe in breathe out
Breathe in breathe out
Breathe in breathe out

I've stayed by your side
I heard what you had to say
But I've been living someone else's life 
I can't live this way
All these sticks and stones
You've been throwing 
Bringing me down
Well there's got to be one more reason to stick around
So stay for me
Stay for me
Wait for me 

Breathe in breathe out
Breathe in breathe out

And stay for me 
Stay for me
And wait for me 

Breathe in breathe out
Breathe in breathe out

Wait For Me Live at Grand Chapel Studios

LYRICS:
Once upon another age
We were shadows on the wall
Write our story on the page
Cite the cruelty of it all

I had nothing but my name
When you met me in the hall
Your face burning like a flame
My heart learning how to fall

I've seen your fear
Love could prevail
But I dream too, dear
We both are frail

You'll find me dancing in the demimonde
I cast my heart upon the sea
You told me love would always carry on
But love is not enough for me

Foolishly, we were enthralled
Everything began to gleam
All this haste to see me fall
Would you waste another scene

Wretched hours of the night
They belong to us alone
I won't plead to make this right
We don't need to make it home

I know your fear
Love could prevail
I'll show you, here
We both are frail

I have seen the light again
It faded in your eyes
If you stay until the end
Then I will keep your lies

And the crystal that you shatter
Would shine brightly in a ring
Could you tell me that I matter
Even after everything

You'll find me dancing in the demimonde
I cast my heart upon the sea
Then told my lover he could sail upon
The tide that turns away from me

What is left to fill your cup
Bittersweet this shade of green
Take your grief and drink it up
Find relief there in a dream

If I pass you in the street
Or you see me on the stage
Lay your flowers at my feet
Press our hours in a page

I've seen your fear
Love could prevail
But I dream too, dear
We both are frail

When we dancers in the demimonde
There was a moment I was free
Now I wonder at the days long gone
And if you still remember me

I will be dancing in the demimonde
Until the night falls on the sea
Without an answer I will carry on
Somethings are never meant to be

NOTES:
Demimonde:
French, literally ‘half-world’. (in 19th-century France)
The class of women considered to be of doubtful morality and social standing. A group of people considered to be on the fringes of respectable society.

Alexandre Dumas coined.
He wrote La Dame aux Camélias, (the basis for the movie Moulin Rouge)inspired by Marie Duplessis.

They also talk about the demimonde in Penny Dreadful (the tv show that quotes poetry). 

Anyway this song has a whole narrative thing happening. 
I might post that on my blog when I actually post my blog.

Operation Q

A song about a Song that went into the world to start a life of it’s own, on a helluva Ride. And also about heartbreak, heartheal, the path of the Heart, the Only Always of Being, and the comicosmic circus of cycles and circles. Wholeness, oneness, wonderful weirdness. About losing yourself and finding yourself and staying true to the Path of the Heart, no matter what. Embrace your inner Clown, jump on your Kangaroo and Ride away!

Middle of Alright 
Written and recorded by Staypress
V1
Blondie's on the radio 
Singing bout a girl I know 
Waking painful memories 
I expected the worst and it was worse than I expected
V2
When i walked into the room 
no atmosphere just like the moon
Predictably I crashed and burned
I expected the worst and it was worse than I expected
Chorus
I'm gonna make my case so tight
There's a  nut in every bite
In the Middle of the night
In the Middle of alright
V3
I'm trying not to tempt defeat 
Our love is like a one way street
Nowhere but we're getting there
I expected the worst and it was worse than I expected
Chorus
Repeat V1
