Any artist is welcome to send us ONE track via freshonthenet.co.uk anytime between Monday lunchtime and Thursday morning - and all our moderators, including Tom Robinson, will listen to every track*. This is our full inbox from the week beginning Mon 17th July: from mid-day on Friday you'll be able to hear our shortlist and pick your favourites on this week's Listening Post which will appear at freshonthenet.co.uk/batch250

*Note: we don't listen again to tunes we've already heard, and automatically block artists who send more than one track a week (our moderators can manage to work their way through 150+ tunes overnight, but 300+ would be impossible!)

Lyrics:
I never wanted to take it this far.
I never wanted things to get the way they are
& I know it is my own fault.
I got what I wanted - but i didn't want this at all.

Afterwards
It's too late...

I never wanted to to do what I've done.
It was stupid & whats worse is I new all along.
I killed my conscience & I sold my soul
& I, I got what I wanted but I didn't want this at all. 

Afterwards
Its too late...

Pathos

Dead Dreamers

Written and recorded by Alex Sears.

How many lives have I got left?
How many devils have I not met?
How many nights will I feel sick?
How many days will I be missing?

Never present. Never thinking.

Don't waste a minute trying to fix me
I need a drink just to find peace
How many days will I feel tired?
All I wanted was respect; to be admired.

Never present. Never thinking straight.

I'm not a person, Melancholia
But I'll be your pet
I'll scratch at the back door, Melancholia
When you feel upset

I'll sit outside in the rain till you let me in.

I put your photograph up on the board
I see it when I come through the front door
I hoped that we could go back to New York
I wish that I could be alone with my own thoughts.

Melancholia
