I can hear you looking at me.
You’ve got to plant a pretty penny to grow a money tree.
You can taste victory but still not see
that a winner is a loser if it’s not for free - is this thing broken?

Judge a book by its cover, read it in reverse,
starting at the end just means the last comes first.
Turning water into wine won’t quench your thirst.
There’s not a lot of laughs in the back of a hearse - is this thing broken?

If I could walk a mile in someone else’s shoes,
get out of the red and stop singing the blues.
If I could stop time and make a wish come true
I could fly the sky and swim the air with you.

A sight for sore eyes is a scene to behold.
You’ll never find your fortune digging for gold.
You can’t buy love if your soul’s been sold.
You’re only as lonely as the person you hold.

Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief.
It’s not what’s on your skin it’s what’s underneath.
A word to the wise keeps the sentence brief.
If it’s written in stone it’s full of grief - is this thing broken?

A week’s worth of worry’s not a day too long.
No good being a singer if you don’t have a song.
It’s pointless pointing out the point that’s wrong.
If you want to see truth don’t look at The Sun.

There’s a silence so loud you hear every sound.
You can’t get lost if you’ve never been found.
If I had a penny for every pound
there’d be enough cash to turn the whole world round.

Between the future and past you’re gonna get drawn
into a battle of presents that leaves you torn.
It’s a death wish wishing that you’d never been born.
If your life’s a bed of roses you’re gonna get thorned.

Rabbits caught in headlights shouldn’t drive cars.
You shouldn’t serve doubles in a singles bar.
Women firefighters shouldn’t burn their bras.
Don’t shoot for the moon if you can only see stars - is this thing broken?

False prophets won’t put you on the straight and narrow.
Money can’t buy you love but it can buy you sorrow.
It’s better to lend than it is to borrow.
There’s no guarantee you’ll even see tomorrow.

On my map all the roads lead South.
If you’ve got good teeth you better watch your mouth.
It’s hard to rhyme the next line so it’s thereabouts.
Better not get hung up if things aren’t exactly as you’d like them to be.
And you’d like them to be just fine - oh wouldn’t you.

Hey... This is a recycling page for your songs.  I am a musician who digs listening to music. Thanks for dropping by. Lammbone
I am heading off SoundCloud for the Summer months. See you when the leaves begin to turn, or maybe when the snow flies. Gonna miss ya’ all… Thank you for the love and support, the insights and ideas, the camaraderie and fellowship. Have a great couple of months wherever you are. Mark

Independently unpolished band who like to be happy.  Unintentionally retro. Effortlessly uncool.

We'd describe ourselves as unpolished with dashes of introspection, cynicism, irony & humour. Tom Robinson describes us as ‘optimistic jangle fuzz merchants’.

We're very pleased to have had lots of radio play & positive feedback from the likes of BBC Radio 6 Music, BBC Introducing East Midlands, Radio Caroline & Exile FM Radio amongst others. We’ve also been chosen several times as a Fresh On The Net 'Fresh Fave'.

Despite being quite a reclusive band with modest ambitions - we like our music to be heard outside of our own heads!

All our music is available for free download on Bandcamp.
