For Saskia and her dad (1935-2021)


[Rough English translation]
SOMEWHERE STILL HERE
Hey Dad, how are you
It's been a while
I miss you
I can still see you standing
Behind the front door
From the nursing home
How you kept waving
When we had to go

You couldn’t find your place
Didn’t get used to it there
You wanted to go home
With us
Until you forgot
Where your home was
Who everyone was
It all happened so fast

But it feels like you are somewhere
Somewhere still here with me
And know what I think

Hey Dad, I still see us
Together enjoying
Concerts by Bach
You with closed eyes
You were there for me
When I got depressed
That I was not alone
Spoke out of your face

And it feels like you are somewhere
Somewhere still here with me
And know what I think

Sometimes you were struggling
You could be angry, stubborn
Did not know what to do with yourself
The helplessness of your childhood
You came back to that again
A child, now skin and bone
That was always on its own
All alone

Hey Dad, I would
Like to talk to you
While I rub your shoulder
Somewhere still here, somewhere on earth
Where you are with me

LYRICS:

You moved south and you changed your life again
Your big mouth put you in a world of pain
The weight of the world upon your shoulders, strained
Your clean slate is shimmering in summer rain

You fell in with a band of miscontents
They taught you how to think in just the present tense
Life seemed pretty sweet for a time, on the sunshine coast with a bottle of wine
Until the past caught up, put you back into line again

We can do anything

If you marry me, we’ll make this all real
Our souls we’ll adorn with faith that we’ll steal
A look in the eye, a kiss on the mouth
With hearts open wide we keep moving south

Take a breath and you’re back on track again
Engine on and the fire is crackling
Take my hand and we’ll run through the sand to where the ocean spray brings an end to the land
And we can swim along to the sound of the mandolin

You moved south and you changed your life again
Your clean slate is shimmering in summer rain
The weight of the world upon your shoulders, strained
Your big mouth put you in a world of pain

You're All (So Many Things)

Over The Rainbow By Robin Quinlan(2)

Wish I had died when I was young
Wish we were alive when we were all just cavemen
I wish the reflection was the only way I saw myself, 
only distorted by ripples in running water. 
Now I open up my phone and my self image is fucked. 
Well fuck I might as well just die. 

We’ll never own a home 
They want us to work until we die 
Why don’t you Open up your eyes 
This is all by design 

I will pay my rent 
I will cry to sleep 
I get up from bed 
And work endlessly 
When I go to sleep 
I dream what could be
Hairy monkey man
Swinging from a tree
I will fling my shit
At politicians

Return to Cave

Well I’m a Big Bad Man from Rockingham
Gonna set this town on Fire
I got a hell of a thirst, I just gotta be first
I am burning with Desire
But regular Joe who wants the world to know
That he’s the main attraction
So I track him down to a bar down town
Now I’m ready for some action
And we had one hell of a fight 
yeah I was shaking all through the night
But I soon put out his lights
Tonight, when I saw her
Watching me, in the corner
By the window, under a red light
But when I met her first, She said I’ll quench that thirst
you gotta learn some manners  
Oh well she teased and squeezed, till I’m begging please
I got a face like a bag of spanners
She said I’ll ease that pain if you play my game
I’ll show you some affection
After 3 or 4 days, I’m in a hell of a haze
I can’t believe my own reflection
But she gave me a hell of a fright
Yeah I was shaking all through the night
But she soon turned down my lights
That night, when I saw her
Watching me, in the corner
By the window, under a red light
I must confess that I’m in a mess
you got me waiting in distress
She got a key and she’s watching me
She got my measure by degrees
So sweet and clean, Know what I mean
I’m just another James Dean
I’m laying low, I curse and Moan
You gotta give the Dog a bone!
Now in the pale moon light, under a blue porch light
She’s got a head upon my shoulder
She said you ain’t no use unless you pay those dues
But I guess we’re getting older
But she gave me a hell of a fright
Yeah I was shaking all through the night
But she soon turned down my lights
That night, when I saw her
Watching me, in the corner
By the window, under a red light etc

The Welton Shipwreck is a UK-based rock duo made up of Stu Head and John Culkin. Formed at the start of the 2020 pandemic lockdown period, their songs are written and recorded by means of long-distance collaboration from their homes in Scotland and Yorkshire. The music they make combines elements of shoegaze, post rock, folk and psychedelic.

Stu and John are old friends of over 20 years. Both originally from the Greater Manchester area, they met at university in Leeds in 2000. The band name refers to a street they lived on as students.

Both Stu and John sing, play guitar, bass, keyboards and drums across their various tracks (along with a few less conventional instruments.) They mix and produce all of their own music.

New tracks always in the works and posted right here!

'People Are Taller in Real Life',  the debut album by Eleanor Collides, falls somewhere between Indie, Alternative Rock and Dream Pop.
