The Cobbled Moth 🔥❤️🔥 Selections

I wrote this whilst hypnopompic in bed one morning in April 2021 along with The Law. Went downstairs and played this then immediately recorded hence the simplicity. 

"Morning Star" has more than one meaning but it is also the name of a pub I recommend visiting when in Lincoln.

The "like minded" people I'm not talking about may or may not visit it. I have no idea. 


The dawn invites you to Exchequer Square
Forged by fire and ice
Where the cobbles glow like embers
Even the bankers smiles seem nice
They’re shaking hands well with the bishop
Visiting eyes see through their lens
Do they imagine they're not peasants
That the Roman empire came to an end?
There are witches in the temple
Selling idols to the kids
The rosy cross-eyed noon sun
Sprinkles gold on their eyelids
There are mysteries beneath them
That won’t be known until the end
There’s a wizards deal which must be done
As with Judas his Lords friend
There is power in the arches
In the towers and underground
Black magic in the symbols
You failed to see when looking 'round
Weary travellers drinking coffee
To stay awake with hobbled minds
There is no stain on the newly
Blood soaked masonry behind
There's a meeting of like minds
As the sun goes down on the Morning Star
The Magna Carta's just a relic
The Son of God a diesel car
The Prince of this World holds the lantern
And the key to the treasury
The light that leads to darkness
The misguided love to misery

Exchequer Square

New version recorded 29/12/21. 
I wrote this whilst hypnopompic in bed one morning in April,  along with Exchequer Square. 

The ravens and the drones are gliding
The judges are in the castle hiding
The law of the land's a man
That's why they're scared
The cannons outside the gates are smoking
The peacocks and the cats are choking
On the bile they spat out when they didn't care
The Templars by the tombs are stirring
The brews inside the pots are whirling
King Solomon's great army seems prepared
Big Brother's eye has become infected
There were thoughts Sauron never expected
Turns out the prophets were not so impaired
The prisoners are separated
The chief commander is frustrated
Love of enemies should be more rare
The Pipes of Pan betray a panic
Even atheists know they're Satanic
The Anti-Satan's waiting on his mare

Stained glass windows are exploding
The Pope's in Vatican tunnels loading
Ancient weapons of mass delusion with a flair
A uniting charming politician
Is holding to the globalist vision
People would have second thoughts 
But do not dare
The Third World War made tyranny look fine
Already common law was benign
The faithful aren't running tearing out their hair
The Heavens have gone full revelation
The Word's been heard in every nation
Love is the law I think that's only fair
Love is the law I think that's only fair

The Law

You hate my face Yerunda
Can't stand this place Yerunda
It's just things we say
I'll send you back Yerunda
You will attack Yerunda
It's just things we say
We'll never die Yerunda
Yet never cry Yerunda
It's just things we say
Everything transforms 
All minds will rise
We'll stand forever 
And love never dies
Can't tell a lie
I am not wise Yerunda
We're hypnotised Yerunda
It's just things we say

Yerunda

Teach me how to live 
'Coz I haven't got a clue
How on earth do you do it?
New age self-help guru
Coz everyones screwing me over
But other institutions are not like you
Just when I thought my life was over 
New age self-help guru
You showed me what to do-
Give all my money to you 
Yes one day I will be a millionaire 
All my dreams will come true
Soon I will have not one care
Thanks to a book or two
I'd like to thank you again 
For making me feel so Zen
I owe it all to you
New age self-help
You need my self-help
New age self-help guru
Teach me how to live 
'Coz I haven't got a clue 
How on earth do you do it?

New age self-help guru

This is one of my first songs from around 2006, silly but I liked the tune

Please Don't Play (Your games with me)

Phone recording of an improv pastiche from earlier today. Meant sincerely. 

They made me look like I'm a monster 
They made me out to be a fool
They made it seem like I'm a moron 
Selfish and uncool
They said I am a danger
When I'm harmless as a dove
And you got to ask yourself 
Where's the love?
They said that I'm a liar
They implied I was insane 
They took me off the airwaves 
Said I couldn't catch the plane 
They said that I'm a danger 
When I'm harmless as a dove 
And you got to ask yourself 
Where's the love?
Be wise as a serpent 
And discern what is true 
If you don't defend other lovers
They'll soon be coming for you
They made us all out to be monsters
Made us look like we are fools
Made it seem like we are morons
Selfish and uncool
They said we are a danger
When we're harmless as a dove
And you got to ask yourself 
Where's the love?
And you got to ask yourself 
Where's the love?
And you got to take the hate
And give back love!



Give Back Love (Improv)

Steppin' out my house just brings me down
Don't wanna don't wanna go out now 
The more I see the more I frown
Don't wanna don't wanna go out now 
Thickos, sickos, grin in disguise
Don't wanna don't wanna go out now
I see you coming I have to hide 
Don't wanna don't wanna go outside
Though the sublime sun is out
Though everyone seems to be out
Though everywhere is full of life 
All I need is in my mind 
I'm quite happy inside
Go out have fun, I don't mind 
Don't wanna don't wanna go outside
All I need I have to find
Modern architecture makes me sick
Don't wanna don't wanna go outside
My pub now flats taking the mick
Don't wanna don't wanna go outside 
Going into town just brings me down
Don't wanna don't wanna go out now 
The more I see the more I frown
Don't wanna don't wanna go outside

Happy inside

Vlad was born he'll soon be dead
All the in between is just a freezing head
So he might as well get soused instead 
He can barely afford to keep his poor wife fed
Got just enough to drink bootleg
Warm your head go bootleg
Life's a struggle so get drunk instead
Eyes burn red bathtub bed
He can't afford Vodka so he drinks bootleg
The poison running through his veins
Makes him sick and batters out his brains 
He knows a cure that'll save the day 
Another bottle not much to pay
Not in money anyway
It's ok just one more day
It's disinfectant but it's sweet to taste 
Who said you need your organs anyway
He's got no job so he will obey
Oh winters come- He's no one 
Winters here - Freeze his tears
The bastards in authority
Know the extent of the inpurity 
They sit and watch the young men die 
'' It's their choice so they've no right to cry''
They sit and watch them die
It's alright dry your eyes 
Go and see the bootleg guy
He makes it better and you no longer mind 
If you live or die
Warm your head go bootleg 
Life's a struggle so get drunk instead 
Eyes burn red bathtub bed
He's got no life so he drinks-
He's got no life because he drinks bootleg. 



Go Bootleg

Last one due to the upload limit

Partly inspired by Gnosticism

If the root of wickedness lies hidden out of sight
It waxes strongly, yet perishes in the light
Ignorance is the mother of all evil and death
For every soul, there isn’t much time left

Living spirit, no more separation
I’m asking for regeneration

I am stripped bare and ready to be reborn
First I must die, burn up the cloaks I’ve worn
If you are not empty you can’t be filled with light 
I must surrender, say farewell to this long night

I’ve been a fool, this is no game 
All words have power, be careful what you say

Living spirit, no more separation
I’m asking for regeneration

Regeneration

Outsider songwriter cobbling lo-fi demos (because I don't know how not to). Achieved solo with a Tascam pocket studio, acoustic guitar, Telecaster, tambourine and bloody bongos...not all used on every track. Some Instrumentals. 

"Compliance is a deadly vice 
That makes you think you're safe
But the truths from which we hide
Become the horrors we face"  - The Cobbled Moth, from the song 'On the Outside' 2016.

Double translated as:
"Compliance is a deadly defect
This makes you think that you are safe
But the truths from which we hide
Become the horrors that we come across" Bulyznik Prays, or Cobbled Midge.
