Bittersweet

It’s cold and my body folds and bends
I’m a railroad in the sun
You’d better run
Hide on a hill	
How far to be the one?
Letters and numbers, they make sense
Only to those behind the fence,
And you

I’ve got hope in my pockets
And holes in my eyes
Oh the dream in your wallet
The green in your lies
Of truth

Oh wow, what do you know now

The Cold

From the debut EP - Drown the Morning Sun

Jamie get lost!

You’ve got me running down the stairs,
And not even the neighbors care that 
I broke my back and their pot of roses
We broke even when u raped my choices

And I never learn 
And I surely return
And I never yearned
For nothing like I do for the fire burning in

You is all I know
Your face it burns and it turns me so
Nowhere, is where we go
Go, and I’ll follow, I’ll follow and say I lead the way!
Get lost!
Jamie get lost

You’ve got me swimming down the drain
It got me thinking you enjoyed the pain
You took away what’s left of me
And left what I became


Jamie Get Lost!

While we’re recording our new album, we thought we’d release a little something ahead of time for you all to enjoy.

Lyrics:
Lost, discolored photographs
Of strangers, fancy cocktails in their hands
Their cigarettes had no effect back then
 
Take the train down to the seaside
Feel your skin slowly roasting in the sun
Before the war turns everything to hell
 
Let’s go back to the golden ages
The treasured past where nothing changes
The idealised view of a simpler way of life
That never was and never will be ours
 
Smiling brides or swallowed pride(s)
Funny how the mind sees only what it wants to see
And everyone looks better off in black and white
They all seem better off in black and white
 
Oh let’s go back to the golden ages
The treasured past where nothing changes
The idealised view of a simpler way of life
Where we could feel more real
 
Lost discolored photographs
Funny how the city looked so much more inviting then
Sometimes I wonder if we’ll ever get it back
I wonder will we ever get it back

Black and White (Demo Version)

Track 10 from our upcoming album 'Chance Meetings', recorded at Auber Mansion.
Drums by Pascal Semerdjian.

Turn your tricks into schemes
Hold the flood to the shore
Clean your wounds in the sea
Switch your mind to my feed
Hold that thought for me 
Words don't grow on trees 
It seems it all disappears 
Castles of concrete fall eventually 
Nightmares hang on dreams
Keep me up till the dawn we were never teens
Nightmares hang on dreams
Keep me up till the dawn we're forever teens

It seems it all disappears

MELANIE: I wrote this song a couple of years ago in Sarah Carrolls kitchen - it was a day when a pile of songs spontaneously arrived and it could be because her house bursts with music! Then when I met Steve and we toured the song his harmonies and groove added a nice swagger, and it became a good duet in our set.  Enjoy!

Someone like you
Keep me warm
Feel your breath in the morning
Winter sun

Someone like you
Wild mind
Wanted poster is on my sleeve
Read the sign

I've been run through the gauntlet of love
I've been settled with a restless heart
I've been kneeling and I've been high
I've been alive and I have almost died 
For love

Someone like you
Your a spark
I'm the air that starts fires burning
Light it up

Someone like you
Come around 
Bring your bags and make camp darling
We'lll make out

I've been run through the gauntlet of love
I've been settled with a restless heart
I've been kneeling and I've been high
I've been alive and I have almost died 
For love

Till you get here
I will dream
Shooting stars and hearts across skylines
Look for me

When you whisper
Overseas
May the wind blow soft words to me
You be my rocker, I'll be your dancing queen.

I've been run through the gauntlet of love
I've been settled with a restless heart
I've been kneeling and I've been high
I've been alive and I have almost died 
For love

SOMEONE LIKE YOU

This must be a dream I can’t believe you’re sitting near 
I’ll try to make it clear

I’ve waited all these years to say the least I’ve shed some tears 
but now it’s finally here

The moment when I saw your eyes while sitting still to my surprise 
you cracked a smile

If you’re real
let me know 
I’ll gladly kneel
If you’re real
let me know so 
I can glow

This must be a dream I’ll drop my fear and reappear 
I’m sure you’re worth it dear

This is nothing more than just a front I need no more 
I’ll shift from cold to warm

We will never part not even when we are apart
tangled up in spark

If you’re real
let me know
I’ll gladly kneel
If you’re real
let me know so 
I can glow

If you’re real
let me know
I’ll gladly kneel
If you’re real
let me know so 
I can glow

Take my hand and try to understand 
what’s next is nothing short of grand

Take my hand and try to understand 
that life will never go as planned

Take my hand and try to understand 
what’s next is nothing short of grand

Take my hand and try to understand 
that life will never go as planned

This Must Be A Dream
