Shokstar - Combo 310 U Shop Demo

The JPS Harmonic Synthesizer for Reason. 

In space no-one can hear you scream
Through universes ripped up at the seams
The vacuum you have to breathe
In space no-one there gives a damn
For anything I am
Recall what it was to be

In space no-one can reach you

In space no-one can push  you drugs
I hear you can’t get enough
To fill the gap on queue
In space no-one can trip you out
So someone can touch you up
Something to warm you through

In space no-one can reach you

In space no-one can trip you up
No-one can sell you out
No-one can touch you up
In space no-one can reach you

In space no-one can mess you up
No-one can buy you out
No-one can fuck you up
In space no-one defeats you

And yet, here you scream


Hear You Scream

_______________________

Feeding off the West End
Cheating on your best friend
Lead me with your cool eyes
It drugs me and makes me fly
Come across my empty space
No finer place I want to taste

Experience counts for nothing
So I hide away

If you save your breath
I feel like a man like you could make it

Experience counts for nothing
So I hide away

I can’t feel it in me
I can’t feel you in me
Wanna feel it in me
Need to feel you in me

Experience counts for nothing
Experience counts for nothing
So I hide away
It counts for nothing

If you save your breath
I feel like a man like you could make it


Experience Counts for Nothing

70s style synth-funk with the JPS Harmonic Synthesizer.

The Rocky Mount

Going to my safe place
A calmer state of mind
Little island to find my sunshine
She’s my wonderland

A bygone age of youth
I should cast about happier times
I’m sure I can remember one 
If I think about it hard enough 

Time to put my life on pause
With all the dear things she adores
Little island to hide my sugar
She’s my honey trap

At the age our comforts heat
The lava lapping at my feet 
She’s burning all my days away
Set the hallelujah rain
 
She’s my hurricane
She’s my history
And if you noticed what she meant to me
You’d run and hide there too
 
Going to live my life here
My safe place by the shores
Little island to live in music
Oh, she’s my melody

Gone to my safe place
Where I know I won’t mistake her
For a love evaporating
On these deserted, deserted sands

She’s my hurricane
She’s my history
And if you noticed what she meant to me
You’d run and hide here too

Cicadas

Leida, keeps me in a burrow of cotton
With people who go bump in the night
They who must make believe
Pray to the holy synths of yore
Who speak unto a future
In which they felt so sure
Yet they all talk in fallacy

Dark eyes, closed against the pillow
They scan the empty room for their daemons
Find a shadow curled up against the curtains 
Where someone very friendly
Could be accidentally murdered
And the sound is looking out for me

If you touch me
On the cold side of the pillow
Where it’s removing me
In moments, I’ll forget

When I hide from you
On the cold side of the pillow
Where it’s cooling me
For a moment, I forget

Blue light shimmers anaglypta
A roar of wind overhead
Deep within the glare of night
I’m somewhere hidden in the spotlight
Visually Seamless Transients
Are coming to Reason with me
Leida, if I lose my sleep
In a living, synthesized city
Desynchronized in time and devotion

If you catch me
On the cold side of the pillow
Where it’s moving me
In moments I forget

When I hide from you
On the cold side of the pillow 
Where it’s cooling me
For a moment, I forget

Seven synth city
Well come in, you’re so pretty
When Leida’s had what Leida can never have

And I look for you
On the cold side of the pillow
Where it’s removing me
From the moments I forget

You’re still deceiving me
From the cold side of the pillow
When the cold side of the pillow
Still gets warm

Still gets warm

Leida (Seven Synth City)

Hazy, we may be
We can drift from view 
Never knowing where we've been
Or where we're heading to
It's foggy out there

Concepts irrefutable
In desires unmutable
Always indefensible
The lover I trust

Stories unoriginal
In the truest sense unbelievable
Depressed and inconsolable
The lover you crushed

Hazy, we may be
We can drift along
Never knowing what you want
Or what I did so wrong
It's foggy out there 

Hazy, we may be
We can second guess
Never seeing who you were
Or what I left behind of that mess
It's foggy out there

Cracked up and panicking
Stung by an inorganic sting
When I've given up everything
To fall with you
 
Picking up on each new thread 
With a new twist of the empty head 
But it's only when you come to bed
I inevitably lose

Hazy, we may be 
Hazy, we may be 
Oh, hazy, we may be

In the summertime comes the party
Where we can all disappoint each other
And celebrate the years 
We want to forget

Hazy, we may be 
We can drift along
Never knowing where you went
Or what I did so wrong
It's foggy out there

Hazy, we may be
We can second guess
Never seeing who you were
Or what I left behind of that mess
It's getting much clearer
We're indestructible

Personally incompatible

Hazy (Demo Version)

Like a sunset on a grey day
We catch a falling cloud
It doesn't know I'm here
Where no-one can talk aloud

When the optimists of Nine Elms
Walk the pessimists of Grove Park
You're losing me 
You're losing me 
You're losing me 
You're losing me 

Like a waterfall in the desert
We evaporate to stone
We’re slippery to the touch
Autumnal to the bone
Can't drown me in your sorrows
Where it only follows that we're on our own
And you're losing me 
You're losing me 
You're losing me 
You're losing me 

And I’m scattered like the roadkill
In the pages of your Facebook photoshoots
With its huge cast of indifference
In the hum of a worthier contribution
I’m wide-eyed and fired up
Rousing but disparate
Where you're losing me
You're losing me 
You're losing me 
You're losing me 
  
Let's catch up soon
We can shoot the moon
We’ll care about anything
We want to care about right now

Let’s join their herd
And what they heard 
Is what they want to hear
With our changeable winds
Where I could have learned of—or have been shown—
The kinds of things I really, really ought’ve known

Like a sunset on a grey day
The moon, she doesn't know I'm there
She can’t even tell the difference
So it really doesn’t matter who I am

When we live so much for our time
We all give up our moment, and to recognize
You're losing me 
You're losing me (Sunset on a grey day)
You're losing me (Sunset on a grey day)
You're losing me (Sunset on a grey day)
Sunset on a grey day

We’re the cure for your new punk waves

Sell elegance with white noises
Opinionated comeback poisons
Your Kaiser sends her ornaments
We stomp out all the malcontents

Hide forever, what we did
I want to be this comeback kid
Her beat-up turbo 911
Never acquired this much fun
Kept in time she paid her rents
We’ll stomp out all her cruel moments
Stomp

She’s everybody’s failed muse
Oh, how to fill her empty shoes
When the muse has failed
And it’s never comin’ back
She took me to the higher places
Then left me to these human races
The muse has failed
It’s never comin’ back

Take my space and fill it up
Never say you’ve had enough
Emote iconics distilled, deterred
Drunk on lovers disinterred
We have heard it and we can’t take it
No-one gains cos no-one makes it

I need your pain to hurt me
(No-one cares)
I need your pain to remind me I'm bad
 
I need your love to inflame me
(No-one loves me)
I need your love to inflict honours mad 

And I need your time to reflect on me
(I won't be missed)
I need your time to reflect on where I go from here

I need your words to defrost me
(I'm fine)
I need your words to insist that I am still in here somewhere

I need your joy to sustain me
I need your joy to feed a crumb of self-worth
(That I'll ignore anyway)

I need your heart to beat me
(What's the point?)
I need your heart to release me from these bonds

I need your style to mould me
(Everyone hates me anyway)
I need your style to arrest the desperate thought, mmmm

I need your truth to torture me
(I don't have an real friends)
I need your truth to deconstruct all that I am and will ever be

I need your fear to label me
(Just push everyone away)
I need your fear to tell me who you see me as 
 
I need your tears to move me
(I'm not good enough)
I need your tears to dry me special

I need your hate, it's to shame me
(It's better this way)
I need your hate to validate what I feel

I need your pain, I deserve it
(I can't go on anymore)
I need your pain to remind me I'm sad

Never Thought of You (That Way)

I'm cabled to the nines
Strung up on a rack
You leave me no escape
And where there's no escape
We can fall in love with you

You captured my heart
Imprisoned us in dreams
Scattered screams and real 
Strange friends and careless
Strangely careless

Why did you take me?
You didn't, I know
Stockholm syndrome

We pay you to love you
To treat us like a curse
To show us crumbs of abuse
And where you have abuse
You can get used to it

You took us from the streets
Asked them for a ransom
We fell for it, you're handsome
Profiteer and gambler

Why did you take me?
You didn't, I know
Stockholm syndrome

No need to rescue me

Somewhere out there
I found my dreams intact
Somewhere out there
I saw a future beckon to me
Somewhere out there
I saw a face that changed one thousand lives
And somewhere out there
I chanced upon a destiny 

Somewhere out there
There lies the answer to my fears
Somewhere out there
I'll find the changes to the years
Somewhere out there
I'll watch a chasten thousand souls
And somewhere out there
I'll watch them lose their self-control

Life was something precious to them
They wasted all their years
Crying into someone elses' unforbidden tears
Forget yourself, or so they say
Death lives on in other ways
Fifty years, for what it pays
The price of buried lives

You can't predict the future
Like you can't forgive the past
I'm losing all my freedom to ghosts the dead outlast
It changes all the ways I think
Before the time an eye could blink
And be brought back from on the brink
One thousand souls reach out

They brought me down to earth
And crushed the final lust
Showered me with senses I can't convey

They sacrificed my love
And cleansed my sacred stains
Turned me to a state of disarray

They watered down my dreams
And canonised my soul
Only now can I understand what it was I threw away

Only now can I understand what it was I threw away
Memories, memories

If my memory can wait awhile upon your mind
Maybe I can escape my time
But if my memory just faded out into the haze
At least I'll have the knowledge
That I once burned unto your gaze

Somewhere out there
I wrote the words that changed a world
Somewhere out there
I watched one thousand souls unfurled
Somewhere out there
I thought your face looked just the same
But somewhere in here
I know I've known you like I'll never know again

Lyrics

man made in moments 
according to summits
tasting the sunshine
to take all the plaudits
i look away, i'm
adrift in an ocean, lock 
stock and barrel, i still
hope to home
acquiring the knowledge
go, imagination riot!
go, tiny fish pond!
scraping the flints
tape off the Slacks and
reel in the sunshine
off poor people's backs, only
more is more

grey skies thinking  
ere, your ship is sinking, when all  
Reasons fail
damns us all
the time  

grey skies thinking  
ere, your ship is sinking, when all   
reasons fail
damns us all
to time 

make it forgiveness
attracting the malleable
teaching smart people to
think inside boxes
imagination running mild
ambition all watered down, a 
sugar-coat ethos in
half-finished fails
adept at deflection 
go, wunderbra!
go, redbeard rum! and
shoot for your roof 
think of a home 
redoubt in cloud
overcast sunk costs   
my vision stays true
   
grey skies thinking  
ere, your ship is sinking, when all  
Reasons fail
damns us all
the time

grey skies thinking  
ere, your ship is sinking, when all  
Reasons fail
damns us all
this time 

grey skies thinking  
ere, your ship is sinking, when all  
Reasons fail
damns us all, for
time waits for no-one

grey skies thinking  
ere, your ship is sinking, when all  
Reasons fail
damns us all
the time

grey skies thinking  
ere, your ship is sinking, when all   
Reasons fail
damns you all
to hell

International Man of Misery Part I

With infectious and highly melodic tunes, The Quixotes specialize in songs about abject misery. Straddling multiple genres including electronica, indie- rock, 80's pop and blues. The rather schizophrenically monikered Quixotes are in fact merely one Matt Black, a London-based singer-songwriter.
