Acid Winds - Instrumental Version

From song cyle about my hometown - London. 

Mandies & Blues

I used to live in Streatham 
High up on the hill.
I knew this bird from Peckham,
She was on the pill.
Fish ‘n chips on her lips,
Players Number Six.
She was thick as a brick
But always up for it.

She gave me a good time, sometimes,
Mandies and blues and cheap red wine.
A little bit of blow and everything’s fine -
She gave me the runaround,
She gave me the runaround,
She gave me the runaround
All over London town.

Peroxide blonde kind of long and thin,
Nose held together with a safety pin

Now she lives in Balham
With a bloke who drives a truck.
And sometimes I think about ‘em
And I wish ‘em good luck.
She’s got a bun in the oven.
Must’ve had half a dozen.
Goes drinking on Sunday
Gets a hangover on Monday.

She gave me a good time, sometimes,
Mandies and blues and cheap red wine.
A little bit of blow and everything’s fine.

Drown In You

It was bright and we sat grinning like frogs on a sunny day
Nothing but to while away a moment in the sun
At the rickety old picnic table out in your backyard
Mint grew in a jar and I had found I’d fallen deep for you

Yes it’s true that this could be the way to spend a perfect day
Oh if you only knew I would fall so deep I’d drown in you

You made the weirdest omelet that a man had ever seen
It had mandarins and beans but the Bloody Mary helps
Only 30 days had passed since we opened that door
At first I wasn’t sure but I have found I’ve fallen deep for you

Yes it’s true that this could be the way to spend a perfect day
Oh if you only knew I would fall so deep I’d drown in you

No more waiting
Anticipating
A leap of faith and I have found you’ve fallen for me too

Yes it’s true that this is just the way to spend a perfect day
And now that you know it too, I will fall so deep I’ll drown in you

Yes it’s true that this is just the way to spend a perfect day
And now that you know it too, I will fall so deep I’ll drown in you
Yes you know it’s true that this is just the way to spend a perfect day
And now that you know it too
Yes it’s true I hope like hell I don’t screw it up this time

Take Another Shot

Take another shot
Let’s see what you got
Slouching on the curb
Curse a dirty word
Looking so tough
But have you got enough

To break out of this gilded cage
And write yourself another page
Here come the changing of the guard
Hit the ball out of the yard
And take your place on the centre stage

Stand up tall and straight
Don’t wanna see you break
Throw a little curve
Try to make me swerve
Look me in the eye
Tell me you can fly

And break out of this gilded cage
And write yourself another page
Here come the changing of the guard
Hit the ball out of the yard
And take your place on the centre stage

Take it on the chin
And go for the win
Knock yourself out
That’s what it’s all about
You can be a hero
Or you can be a zero

But when the going gets tough
Are you tough enough
When the going gets tough
Can you pick  yourself up
When the going gets tough
Are you strong enough

And take another shot
Let’s see what you got
Take another shot

Take Another Shot

"When I drink, I drink to get drunk.
Collapse on the bed when the last one's sunk."

Self-derisory punk pop. We can't like ourselves all of the time and I often don't...

Crazy 

I must be crazy, I must be mad 
To let you slide through my fingers like that 
Thought I had you in the palm of my hand 
How I let you go I will never understand 
Well, I guess it only goes to show 
I was crazy crazy to let you go 

How many teardrops can I cry 
Looks like a waterfall pouring from my eye 
How many regrets can I hold in my heart 
Before the whole damn thing breaks apart 
Well I guess it only goes to show 
I was crazy to let you go

released April 27, 2016 
Music&Lyrics: Steve Elliott

CRAZY (To Let You Go)

Album:      Songs of Light and Darkness
 
  	I began writing this song in 2009.   While working on it, two years later, in July 2011, news came of the insane massacre on the island of Utoya, Norway.   The impact on me was devastating, and this song is my cry of pain.

	The rhythm is an unusual departure from the usual 4:4 of popular music, being written with 16 beat bars grouped at 3-3-3-3-4.   I was looking, in this way, to sustain a  high and continuous level of tension.

	The title comes from Tolkein's Silmarillion, in which the Noldorin elves attack the largely defenceless refugees from Morgoth's invasion of Beleriand.


Lyrics:
	behold, there is blood on the sand
	it flows where the living once ran
	the surf, the surf has turned red
	the air holds the scent of the dead
	the sea churns in pain
	the sea churns in pain
	never again!   never again!

The Junction

Going down to Charing Cross.
Gonna see my old boss.
Gotta a package to deliver,
Somewhere across the river.


In the back of some old gaff,
Where they keep things under wraps.
Gotta meet a bloke called Jerry -
Maybe dodgy, maybe very.


Gotta get my motor running,
Gotta get back over town.
Gotta get my engine gunning
Something is going down.


Lost on the streets of London,
Running red lights through Camden.
It’s hard for my brain to function
When it’s gone up the junction.


I gotta get back east,
See the beauty and the beast.
She lives up by the common,
Such a sweet loving woman.


Gotta get my motor running,
Gotta get back over town.
Gotta get my motor running…
It’s hard for my brain to function
When it’s gone up the junction.

Cinematic Kid - Stevee

This song is about having a bad day & wanting to be somewhere else. Theres a blending of genres on this track, the idea was to try and be innovative & come up with something fresh musically while the topic is one everyone can relate to.
   Thank you Kenny for collaborating and lending your great vocal & music talents to this song!

          I'm Bout To
I'm bout to lose my mind if I don't get away,
There's too much pressure, aggravation today.
I'm bout to loose my job if they keep getting in my face,
Well they keep stressing me annoying me more everyday.

     I'm bout to take a vacation where I go I don't care,
     Head up into the mountains I'll probably get ate by a bear.

I'm bout to stop taking showers let them shut my water off,
The city's gouging me overcharging a lot. 
I'm bout to find me a bridge and a nice warm cardboard box,
I bet the rent's real good hardly any taxes at all.

     I'm bout to take a vacation where I'll go I don't care,
     Head up into the mountains I'll probably get ate by a bear.

Didja ever get one of them days,
Where you knew you just simply had to get away.
Troubles seemed elevated to brand new heights,
Everything was goin' wrong nothing would go right.
You checked your mail then it caused you to balk,
You had a water bill that was big as the hulk.
On the way to work stopped to get you some food,
They got your order wrong they were nasty and rude.
The pressure on your mind at work was throwin' you a curve,
Your bosses mouth was already on your nerves.
If he said another thing it would cause you to shout,
Obscenities in his face then be escorted out.
At this point you stopped and said why bother,
I'm bout to go on vacation come hell or high water.
You went mountain hiking cause thats what you like to do,
Just to find a grizzly bear havin' a bad day too.

     I'm bout to take a vacation where I'll go I don't care,
     Head up into the mountains I'll probably get ate by a bear.

Cold Blood and Whiskey

First Collide

No Fear

This song was written after I nearly got blown up in the Moscow metro bombings a couple of years ago. I took an early train that morning and was lucky. The experience got me thinking and I wondered how many collective teardrops have been shed after such insane terrorist acts. I hope you agree with me that blowing people up is the worst way to get your political agenda across. Peace and love.

How Many More Teardrops?

Verse 1
I heard the news and I fell down and cried -
Another senseless and deadly suicide.

Verse 2
It all happened again today
A crowd of innocent people blown away.

Chorus
How many more tear drops to fall
Before we heed the folly of it all?
Before we read the writing on the wall.

Verse 3
Believing in a cause, they strap on a bomb,
But what they do is crazy and just plain wrong.

Verse 4
Peace and Love is the message we must bring,
Don't let them tell you this war's a holy thing

Chorus

Bridge
Before we read the writing
That is written in blood on the wall,
Written in blood on the wall.

Chorus

Outro
What can we do? What can we say?
But let us pray for a brighter day
And a better way.

How many more teardrops

Some of the Parts

I should have done this 30 years ago.
Better late than never, or so they say.
It's a long shot, a difficult throw,
Yet here I stand ready for the play.

My heroes are all in the tomb
Save but one solitary soul.
Voice cracked and out of tune,
But some of the parts make a whole. 

Poets are the real, true heroes. 
Voices singing in the wilderness:
Words glowing like burning coals
That gutter in the emptiness.

Phrases tumble into space
Tossed upon the tides of thought.
But sometimes it’s so hard to face
The idea it may come to nought.

A track from my recently released EP on Bandcamp at https://stevee1.bandcamp.com/album/stevee

A Little Alien 

She’s a little alien to me, 
Drinks turpentine for tea. 
She’s a little alien to me, 
Sitting on my knee. 

She sits there on my knee 
Just as slinky as can be… 
She’s not from round here, 
I can tell. 
She’s from some Never Never Land, 
My little Tinker Bell. 

She’s a little alien to me, 
Eyes like an almond. 
She’s a little alien to me, 
Her heart is a diamond. 

She sits there on my knee 
Just as slinky as can be… 
She’s not from round here, 
I can tell. 
She’s from some Never Never Land, 
My little Tinker Bell. 

She’s a little alien to me, 
She’s got me nonplussed. 
She’s a little alien to me, 
She’s got me sussed. 

She sits there on my knee 
Just as slinky as can be… 
She’s not from round here, 
I can tell. 
She’s from some Never Never Land, 
My little Tinker Bell.

If You Got Soul

If you got soul
You gotta roll

When I was a boy
It would be easy for me to try
To believe all the words that were written in the books
By the seers and the gods on high
Sky high
There's a lie in the lie
That they want you to buy
It's a lie that you can't ask why
But now I am older
Got that weight off my shoulder
Lift my finger up and point to sky

No soul destroyer's gonna
rock and roll her baby
No state infraction's gonna
Suppress the action now
Insanity attack
Distortion of the fact
Maniacal quack
Dehumanising
An automatic fact
The stick is in the back
Establishments react
Do they see their own writing
On the wall?
Do they see their own writhing
At all?

If you got soul
You gotta roll
And we the people
We gotta get to go

When I was that boy
It would be easier for me to fly
But now I am older
Got that weight off my shoulder
Lift my finger up and point to sky
Sky high
It was a child's sweet ignorance
But oh so little joy
To know I'm further off from heaven
Than when I was a boy

If you got soul
You gotta roll
And we the people
We gotta get to go
