Placebo Windows demo

Demo of a new song - I had a dream that I'd been invited to the secret office party and things started to get strange...

No trifle or Twiglets for you
No jelly or ginger beer
Cracked coffee cups, cold corridors
Wispers fade and disapear

At four the faces of the clocks dissolve
Time has gone on holiday
Friday never felt like this before
Reality has given way

You're invited to the Secret Office Party
Surprised to find you're at the Secret Office Party
Secret Office Party

HR shadow guards escourt you to the manager
Something ominous is surely on the cards
Floating down the hall, float up to the second floor
Your dream destiny is at the office door

Mangement is on the sofa charming
Offering a drink or two
The monitor becomes a jukebox and the staff put on their dancing shoes

You're invited to the Secret Office Party
Surprised to find you're at the Secret Office Party
Secret Office Party

Everybody laughing, lucky spirit
Finally you take the cake
Bouncy castle bouncing up a tier
A mighty headache when you wake

You're invited to the Secret Office Party
Surprised to find you're at the Secret Office Party
Secret Office Party

The Secret office Party (demo)

January Sun

(Fallen St. Elian)

Jackdaw perched on Hawthorne branch, blackbird on the grass

Cold and still the winter trees

Heaven's overcast

Some rain came just now

Left drops dripping from the boughs

Pale frost in the early hours,

pale sun barely rise

Dimly lights the afternoon night comes before its time

Pictured in its frame

In slow-motion change

Day after day fallen Elian

Amid our sorry plight defies the dying of the light

Fallen Saint Elian, languid not undone like January Sun

Rooks perch survey from frozen slate

Grey barren branches spike and sway

Long days march by in place, long hours disolve leave little trace…

January Sun (Fallen St. Elian)
