Even A Fool

Music and lyrics by Steph Ashcroft

Lyrics:

I wish I could make you mine,
To have you and hold you til the end of time,
And I wish that my dreams came true,
Because all I ever dream of is you,

I need you,
I want you,
I can't breathe without you,
But I lost, I lost you,

I know it's time to say goodbye, 
But I can't let go of that look in your eyes,
You're everything to me, everything I see,
You're the one who made me believe,

I need you,
I want you,
I can't breathe without you,
But I lost, I lost you,

I need you,
I want you,
I can't breathe without you,
But I lost, I lost you.

I Lost You

Lyrics

I don't care where we are,
The front your car, don't need to go far,
I can hear your voice in the night,
Imagine you're here, but you're nowhere near,

Nothing has changed, and I don't think it will,
But I'm happy to be as we are,
Nothing has changed, and it never will,
But I'm happy that you're in my heart,

You never talk about her,
All I can see is you and me,
You wouldn't be without her,
But it's hard for me, I don't know how that feels,

Nothing has changed, and I don't think it will,
But I'm happy to be as we are,
Nothing has changed, and it never will,
But I'm happy that you're in my heart,

Aaaah
Aaaah 

The first time we kissed,
We knew it was wrong, it has been all along,
I don't know how you feel,
But I'm not sure I care, that we're going nowhere,

Mister Lazy

This one goes out to my Grandad.

Lyrics:
"You always watched over me, 
With smiling eyes,
Chocolate biscuits and boiled sweets,
Told me to reach for the sky,
Plastic cars on a floral rug, 
I was red, and you were blue, 
We drank orange juice out of tea cups,
You always let me break the rules,

Now we'll look at black and white photographs, 
Your life as a newspaper paragraph,
We'll fight back our tears,
We'll look back on the years,
And we'll laugh,

Where are you now?
Where did you go?
Can you even still here my voice?
I guess I'll never know,
So I'll have a drink or two,
Yeah I'll save a drink for you,

Now you watch over me,
With distant eyes,
Your soul has been set free,
Now you'll be flying high,
Plastic cards on a floral mud,
Now I'm blue 'cause you're not there,
We drink wine because we should, 
We drink wine because we care,

Where are you now?
Where did you go?
Can you even still hear my voice?
I guess I'll never know,
So I'll have a drink or two,
Yeah, I'll save a drink for you,

Yeah, I'll save a drink for you."

Everything's Stayed the Same - Steph Ashcroft

Music & lyrics by Steph Ashcroft
Recorded & produced by Steph Ashcroft
Written and recorded in April 2016

In the track ‘Everything’s Stayed the Same’, I have sampled Alvin Lucier’s experiment, ‘I Am Sitting In A Room’. I have then done this audio experiment with a looped section at the end of the song and sampled that within the song before moving into it completely by the end. Lyrically, this song is about how things change throughout time, and they look different on the outside, but the origin, and the core of what or who they are is still, in some ways, the same.

Lyrics

[sampled from Alvin Lucier's experiment, ‘I Am Sitting In A Room’]
“I am sitting in a room, different from the one you are in now…”

New house, same home,
I got four new keys on a different street but I’m still sittin’ alone,
How many hours have I spent today,
Just watching a TV screen to hide from all the rain,
Chasing my dreams, 
But every time I’m getting close I just run out of breath it seems,
And every time I close my eyes,
The ground beneath me disappears and I’m falling through the sky,

We’re all trying so hard to be more than what we are,
We’ve run into the future but we haven’t moved an inch so far,
‘Cause everything’s changed, and yet everything’s stayed the same,

Paper statement, 
I read it every month to find I still can’t pay the rent,
And every penny that I spent,
Was meant to make me happy but I’m still average in the end,

We’re all trying so hard to be more than what we are,
We’ve run into the future but we haven’t moved an inch so far,
‘Cause everything’s changed, and yet everything’s stayed the same,
‘Cause everything’s changed, and yet everything’s stayed the same,
‘Cause everything’s changed, and yet everything’s stayed the same,
‘Cause everything’s changed, and yet everything’s stayed the same,
‘Cause everything’s changed, and yet everything’s stayed the same,
‘Cause everything’s changed, and yet everything’s stayed the same.
