My latest shizz. Written between December 2024 and February 2025. Apart from the Nilsson cover, obviously, I think that was written in the seventies or something. 

It's about all sorts of stuff and things, like everything else.

Gotta Get Up [Harry Nilsson Cover]

Well, you can run, but you can't hide. 
There's no escape from what's inside.
You can try and write your words out in a song.
But we all show when something's wrong.

When you're only showing one face to the world.
When you're trying to make your mind up on a girl.
When you're escaping this world into your own.
You should know that you can never make it home.

I believe it. 
All the money flies away.
I'll be leaving, but the rest of you can stay.
I remember almost every little phrase.
I was here.
I was here.
The facade... will fade away.

Well, we all live, and we all die.
Imagination helps you get on by.
Is there a constant revolution in your soul?
It's a shame that we all have to get so old.

When you lay there on a morning on your own.
When you can not find a place to rest your bones.
When the nighttime comes to help you get away.
When you find out, it won't matter what you say.

I believe it. 
All the money flies away.
I'll be leaving, but the rest of you can stay.
I remember almost every little phrase.
I was here.
I was here.
The facade... will fade away.

Fade Away

Take off! These chains are falling away.
There's a message in your morning I just can't face.
I lay myself down, and I dream.
One day, there'll come a moment I can't breathe.

Lift off! I'll never follow you home.
Won't you give me Hill and Valley where I can roam?
A little corner for my peace.
This town has gotten dirty, and I can't leave.

There must be somewhere I should be?
There must be something I can't see?
There must be something I could take?
There are so many rules to break.
I throw it all away.

Hold up? You're old. Not feeling so great.
True, I see your storm clouds gather, and I'm tempting fate.
You don't leave any space to dream.
Left it all behind, just wasted behind the scenes.

There must be something I could be?
There must be someone I can see?
I'm running out of pills to take.
It's just another rule to break.
I throw it all away.

Get up! I will not be on my way.
You can wait another lifetime before I fade.
You see, my field is evergreen.
I still think in terms of what I've yet to see.

Take off! These chains are falling away.
There's a message in your morning I just can't face.
I lay myself down, just to dream.
One day, there'll come that moment I won't breathe.

There must be somewhere I should be?
There must be something I can't see?
There must be something I could take?
There are so many rules to break.
I throw it all away.

There Must Be Something

The seven seas all feel the same.
When you sail on them in the rain.
Your silver lining, like a shroud.
Was disapated by your cloud.
Such a clown. 

Oh, I could talk to you for days.
You set the pace.
It's a shame we had to go our separate ways.
We barely wiled away the hours.
Forget your flowers.
Can you still hear me from up in your tower?

Caught a television screen.
About anything. 
Could be a dream.
My fascination with the crown
Was decimated by the town.
And all the crowds.

Oh, I would walk by you for days.
You set the pace.
I just didn't know that I was in a race.
I know I wasted all my hours.
The time devoured.
You're looking down, and now I know that...

we all can't believe the same. woah oh.
I know we're all a bit to blame. woah oh, yeah.
I know some people have no shame. woah oh.
I know we all can't feel the same.

Oh, I could talk to you for days.
You set the pace.
It's a shame we had to go our separate ways.
We barely wiled away the hours.
Forget your flowers.
Can you still hear me from up in your tower?
Your tower.

Flowers

Though the night is so dark and full of fears.
It won't get any easier through the years.
I was getting tired in your shoes.
I was feeling lonely, fed up, used.

Turn me out again...
That's it, lights out, my friend...
Turned me off, be warned.
Well, I'm gonna sidestep up and out of this storm.

Just one more to take the edge away.
Just a taste of sugar, a lighter end to your day.
I was getting tired of your rules.
I was getting bored and feeling blue.

Maybe I just need escape.
Maybe I was feeling great.
Maybe I was looking out.
Maybe I was crying out.
Ever think I know who I am?
Ever think you wanna get some?
Everybody seeks admission.
Everybody's going missing.
I was getting tired of your blues.
I was feeling washed up, old and through.

Turn me out again...
That's it, lights out, my friend...
Turned me off, be warned.
Well, I'm gonna sidestep up and out of this storm.

I was getting tired in your shoes.
I was feeling lonely, fed up, used.

Turn me out again...
That's it, lights out, my friend...
Turned me off, be warned.
Well, I'm gonna sidestep up and out of this storm.


Lights Out

Mother would watch as I'd dive for the money they'd throw.
Down below.
Down so low.

From in the blue water, the people above move so slow.
They don't know.
What I know.

Give me a reason to stay.
Guess it's true that we all run away.
Though I can't see the future, I'm sure.
That I can never know what's in store.

Some coins for the coven, there's buns in the oven.
To pay.
We will see.
What will be.

Son, fetch me your Shoeshine, this town it is all mine. 
What's more.
I'm the law.
Above the law.

You fantasy swinger, you phoney gunslinger, who deals?
Out the deals.
Ride the wheels.

A priest or a bandit, a boxer or prophet, your breath.
Your last breath.
On to death.

Lord, give me a reason to stay.
There are times when we all run away.
Though I know there's no future, I'm sure.
That you can never know what's in store.

Oh mother, oh mother, the life they have taken from me.
I am free.
I'm the sea.

Oh, father, my father, now why hast thou forsaken me?
You can't see.
What I see.

Lord, give me a reason to stay.
Guess it's true that we all run away.
Though I can't see the future, I'm sure.
That I can never know what's in store.

Shoeshine

What do you wanna be?
Can the sunshine live up to your needs?
Course, the river run free.
Will the forest provide from within?
Where you once held the key. 
Now they all tell you, just let it be. 
You refused to look up
You can't learn everything from a book.

Save up for me.
Save it till last.
Save all that nonsense. 
It's all in the past.
The dust blows away.
And all that remains...
The sunrise on sunday morning's past.

What do you wanna do?
It's been years since we dropped out of school.
Let's pretend, there's no rules.
Now, we all lack the requisit tools.
As we're struggling through.
We're without any clue what to do.
And the winter winds blow.
As we start to pick out where to go.

Save up for me.
Save it till last.
Save all that nonsense. 
It's all in the past.
The dust blows away.
And all that remains...
The sunshine on sunday morning's past.

In the darkened great hall.
Stands a man who is fifty feet tall.
And he programs the news.
To decide how to deal out the truth.
Now you catch but a glimpse.
Never seeing enough to convince.
Though they gilded your cage.
You can't take anything for the rage.

Save up for me.
Save it till last.
Save all that nonsense. 
It's all in the past.
The dust blows away.
And all that remains...
The sunshine on sunday.
Save it for me.
Save it till last.
Save all your nonsense. 
It's all in the past.
The dust blows away.
The memories fade.
Like rain on a Sunday morning.


Sunday

As the light from the morning streams in through the cold window pane.
All the ghosts in the city streets, hiding their heads from the rain.
You won't keep my city clean.
Took all my dopamine.
Raining and cold.
You can't give my dreams away.
Lost them all yesterday.
Mourning, now I'm old.

We're all floating alone in the dark.
Que sera. Que sera. Que sera. 
And you don't even know who you are.
Que sera. Que sera. Que sera. 
Que sera.

As the noise from the cars gets in, hide from the night, you're in starlight, never day.
This way, you can never win, dont know where to begin.
Morning, Mrs Jones.
And, a check in the mirror shows where all the dark things go.
Always, feel the same.
Fuck it, let's have another line, forget the march of time.
Fire, it glows.

Ah, You don't even need to get far.
Que sera. Que sera. Que sera. 
And you don't need to know who you are.
Que sera. Que sera. Que sera. 
Que sera.

We're all floating alone in the dark.
Que sera. Que sera. Que sera. 
And you don't even know who you are.
Que sera. Que sera. Que sera. 
Que sera.

Morning (Que Sera)

Bluebird, you will never reach the sky.
So keeping hidden, raise your voice up to the night.
I'll drink my whiskey, smoke my cigarettes till dawn.
The world is frozen, but this fireside is warm.

I was calling out.
I was falling out.
I was broken and bored.
I was reaching out.
I was hanging round.
I was waiting to soar.
Wanting more.
Wanting more.

Bluebird, you will never get away.
(Why would you even want to get away?)
You're only memories, all the rest will have to stay.
(Back in your cage where all the best birds stay)
Hidden only by the pretence that they care.
Like circles drifting from the centre to the air.

I was wondering out.
I was holding out.
I was broken and cold.
I was never round.
I was on the ground.
I was getting too old.
In the cold.
In the cold.

Wanting more.
Wanting more.

Bluebird, are you singing in my heart.
(Singing out from down within my heart)
They must've noticed, you were broken from the start.
(You were broken from the very start)
I'll keep on dreaming, won't you tell me what you saw?
(Just a little hint at what you saw)
When you left me, and I couldn't see no more.
(What am I to do? I can't see more)

Are you calling out?
Are you falling out?
Are you broken and bored?
Are you reaching out,
Are you hanging round?
Are you waiting to soar?
Wanting more.
Wanting more.

Well, you can run, but you can't hide.
There's no escape, from what's inside.
Well, we all live, and then we die.
Imagination helps you get on by. (x2)


Well, I was born.
On St Crispins day.
And the autumn sky.
Was a cloudy grey.
Oh, you ain't got nothing, babe.
That I couldn't take.

Oh, I was here.
I had my time.
I don't want to live.
I don't want to die.
When I say i'm leaving.
Know, that can't be right.

Catch me a star.
I'm falling deeper into you.
Catch me a smile from somewhere.
Anyone will do.
Make a wish on my rainbow.
While I play the fool.
Catch me your broken reasons.
Take it as I do.
Catch me your golden moment.
From out of the blue.
Catch me a star.
Catch me a light.
Catch my night.
Falling deeper into you.

Now I can't breathe.
And I can't cry.
And I can't be drinking.
No good for my mind.
I been searching out for.
Things that I can't find.

From within the dark.
You can't see the light.
And within the tempest. Yeah.
It's hard to see the fight.
No, there's no escaping.
For the broken mind .

Catch me a star.
I'm falling deeper into you.
Catch me a smile from somewhere.
Anyone will do.
Make a wish on my rainbow.
While I play the fool.
Catch me your broken reasons.
Take it as I do.
Catch me your golden moment.
From out of the blue.
Catch me a star.
Catch me a light.
Catch my night.
Falling deeper into you.


Catch Me [Outro]

We are the music makers. We are the dreamers of dreams.
