Obligatory song about living in lockdown during the pandemic! So original!

Lyrics:

Letting myself go, letting my hair grow,
Letting my waistline bloat wide,
And lose sight of my toes below,
...Let the despair show

Let the stubble cover my face,
As I embrace the bubble and pace,
From one wall to another, embrace
The shadows i discover, malaise.

I need to keep myself together in one piece,
It'll all be over in a week.

Keep the lamplight burning until it's early, the wheels are turning.
Keep the twilight, forty weeks of sleep,
My thoughts are growing thin.
Let it all pour in, let it all pour in, let it all pour in.

Let creaking floorboards haunt me,
Tired ghosts of those who might have lived here happy,
Another world.

Snake myself around the leaking heating pipes,
Let the skin shed from my bones,
The warmth of home.

All your friends are doing fine, judged by their tweets.
It'll all be over in a week.

Dim the lights and lock the doors,
Man the sails and stay the course,
Take the reigns and try to steer,
And watch TV for half a year.

Clap your heroes from the street,
Staring blankly at your feet,
Head inside and try to sleep,
It'll all be over in a week.

Let It All Pour In

A song that I recorded in 2009 but forgot to actually mix until now!
It's about a guy used to hate. I don't think I've 'hated' many people, but this guy was something else!

Lyrics:

There comes a time in every scientist's life
When he's part of the solution and he faces evolution.
And I'm tangled in her charm and sweet pollution
But the man that I'd die not to be is all that she sees.

We should be on the same team,
We've found our way around the North West bar-scene,
But there's no way that I could ever see you as more than a drop in the sea.

Mrs D, Mrs I, Mrs F-F-I-C-U-L-T-Y,
She's the reason that we fight.
Mrs S, Mrs U, Mrs B-T-L-E-T-Y, she knew,
I couldn't care less about you!

She's the sweetness in our biting teeth,
And she's feeling under pressure as we both try and impress her.
I know it's childish, kid, but we both just can't undress her,
And besides there's a standard she keeps, and you're way below me.

So man, I'll explain it slowly:
You're in the Conference and she's playing in the Premier League.
So take a look at what you can't achieve, then regress and stop messing with me.

Mrs D, Mrs I, Mrs F-F-I-C-U-L-T-Y,
She's the reason that we fight.
Mrs S, Mrs U, Mrs B-T-L-E-T-Y, she knew,
I couldn't care less about you!

And Max says it best, but I'll give it my best shot:
You're nothing more than dirt I wouldn't waste my shoes to step on (to step on…)
What better qualities do you possess than a simple lack of common sense?
Let's wait and see if you can turn my friends against me.
Mr Idiocy
And Miss Difficulty
Are out to get me.
And why can't I see
That Miss Difficulty has made me Mr Family-Tree?

Mrs D, Mrs I, Mrs F-F-I-C-U-L-T-Y,
She's the reason that we fight.
Mrs S, Mrs U, Mrs B-T-L-E-T-Y, she knew,
I couldn't care less about you!
Mrs D, Mrs I, Mrs F-F-I-C-U-L-T-Y,
She's the reason that we fight.
Mrs S, Mrs U, Mrs B-T-L-E-T-Y, she knew,
I couldn't care less about you...

The Big Smoke

A little instrumental acoustic song, called 'You Are My Ghost'.

You Are My Ghost (Instrumental)

Her perfect hair's her only care and her make-up takes up most of her time.
Her love is built of the clothes she wears and there's no longer any space left for mine.
So if the only way i can get to her is by lying down then for now i guess that's fine,
But i just can't see this working out if i can't compete with the latest fashion lines. (Although I try!)

Don't make me be a thief so we can steal away,
Don't turn me to priest who'd have me feel that way,
Coz if all you'll ever be is in love with me,
Then we should say it's over.

I'm running out of reasons to tell my self i'm not quite over you,
Coz i've just sat and watched through Casablanca and i think that you should see it too.
It's full of helpful hints of things we shouldn't ever really do.
(But we'd like to!)

Don't make me be a thief so we can steal away,
Don't turn me to priest who'd have me feel that way,
Coz if all you'll ever be is in love with me,
Then we should say it's over.

Don't make me be a thief so we can steal away,
Don't turn me to priest who'd have me feel that way,
Coz if all you'll ever be is in love with me,
Coz if all you'll ever be is in love with me,
Then we should say it's over.
(Say it's over...)

...She Walks Into Mine

Lyrics:

And we say that my life is full of ex-girlfriends and
Punctuation that we get entangled in.
But despite all the obstacles, I'm relatively sure
That this sordid affair was meant to be our journey's end.

And this jealousy in burning red reminds me that I'm not yet dead.
But I'm tired of all the games coz you've changed all the rules and we've talked this to death.

She talks the night away,
From the dark until the day,
And there's nothing I can say to make her see that I'm dying to sleep,
So i'm closing my eyes,
As she talks herself a lullaby.

So you're leaving, goodbye and good luck,
And we'll settle for a hug coz we know we'll never be the same.
And when you're gone you can pull on my heartstrings and buy me a wedding ring, a keyring, or anything!

But don't bring up the past, coz it wasn't that great,
It was more of a landslide than stars and champagne.
So whatever you do I will give you my blessings, but still have some left.

She talks the night away,
From the dark until the day,
And there's nothing I can say to make her see that I'm dying to sleep,
So i'm closing my eyes,
As she talks herself a lullaby…

(A lullaby, a lullaby, a lullaby...)
(A lullaby, a lullaby, a lullaby...)

I want so many things instead of all this right now, 
I want a classic car, I want to drive around.
I want a bicep tattoo that gets distorted when I flex,
I want a perfect guitar, though I haven't seen it yet.

And we're both crazy, aren't we?

She talks the night away,
From the dark until the day,
And there's nothing I can say to make her see that I'm dying to sleep,
So i'm closing my eyes,
As she talks herself a lullaby…

(A lullaby, a lullaby, a lullaby...)
(A lullaby, a lullaby, a lullaby...)


'A' For Effort

Lyrics: 

Once upon a weekend we were both available,
We'd had one too many vodkas and probably far too many red bulls,
We collided like some protons in a tube in switzerland,
It's a cosmic coincidence that's far too much for me to stand.

And how'd your hand end up in my hand?

We'll find a space and time for you and me,
We'll cross the galaxy and be at peace,
In a lazy world devoid of all consequence.
We can go back a million weeks and see
If the planet turns more quietly,
And make a home between the past and the present tense.

This makeshift pairing that we made had a fast rate of decay,
And when our half-life came there was so much left for us to say,
We'd be better off another time, another place, it could have worked,
And if nothing else at least I've learned how to properly iron a shirt!
But I won't forget all the places that we went,
Coz I'd enjoyed every penny that we spent.

And now we're left just trying to decipher what it meant.

TARDIS (Time And Relative Dimension In Stockport)

Lyrics:

I got so drunk last night with you,
Which is no real surprise it's just a thing that we do,
And we don't really need an excuse,
We've got things to put off, we've got some coursework that's due,
But it's no real issue you see,
It's just nice to call you or have you calling up me,
And if this town's got a problem with that,
Then we'll pack up our bags and we'll call us a cab,
To a city that's less of a drag.

We could just move all our stuff to Peru?
...and I think I'd go anywhere with you.

When we wake up we're not in my bed.
We're a shell of our selves with a pain in our heads,
And we whisper the words that we've said,
Coz the slightest of sounds seems to wake up the dead,
And the sunlight lands on your cheek,
And if I could stand up I'm sure my knees would go weak.
So if the Earth can't stand our kiss,
We'll take a rocket to space and we'll find us a place,
On the next best planet to this.

We could live on that green forrest moon?
…and I think I'd go anywhere with you.

And as long as there's pizza and blink 182,
...I think I'd go anywhere with you.
As long as there's Neurofen and tea we can brew,
...I think I'd go anywhere with you.
