Guess what they say automatic cliche very true
you dont know what you got til its no longer beside you
i think of all our drives i was haunted by your ancient voice
sing to me all your sorrows somehow rang with utter joy

Now your gone and I've been away from your body your body 
In your mind and your soul radiates such glory oh oh oh oh oh
Everybody listene to your soul that sings each night in the dark cold cell
But Have you given your heart a voice?
        
Accept yourself and your lovers
Your natural and a lover oh oh oh oh oh
Accept yourself and your lovers
Accept yourself your so lovely

Taking turns real fast driving down the country roads
Their solemn and as dead as my heart without your glow
I wonder if you ponder how things real           ly were
Perhaps in each other we possessed a cure for the hatred

Now your gone and I've been away from your body your body 
In your mind and your soul radiates such glory oh oh oh oh oh
Everybody listene to your soul that sings each night in the dark cold cell
But Have you given your heart a voice?

Accept yourself and your lovers
Your natural and a lover oh oh oh oh oh
Accept yourself and your lovers
Accept yourself your so lovely

Lovers

Oh It's A Pity Girl

You know how we used to share my bed?
Oh It's A Pity Girl
I used to go deep, giving you such pretty head
Oh It's A Pity Girl
I used to bang  you, you got off pretending to be dead
Oh It's A Pity Girl
You used to bang HIM amid the threads of my bed
Oh It's A Pity, A Pity, A Pity Girl

Oh It's A Pity Girl I think I love you
Despite all your slutty escapades
Oh It's A Pity Girl, I want to marry you
And be your lawful/lawless lover and sex slave

We used to reenact Prince's Sister song from Dirty Mind
Oh It's A Pity Girl
Get in the act, on the casting couch, you'd feed me lines
Oh It's A Pity Girl
And at the disco, we'd bang on the floor and bump and grind
Oh It's A Pity Girl
Did you mess with my mind with carelessness or by design
Oh It's A Pity, A Pity, A Pity Girl

Oh It's A Pity Girl I think I love you
Despite all your slutty escapades
Oh It's A Pity Girl, I want to marry you
And be your lawful/lawless lover and sex slave

How simple, float drift you'll             
Feel like your flying
No question, my best friend
I'll love you til last days

How is this happening 
Right before my darling's face
How thrilling, God willing
I love how you taste

Button on up your heart ache
Button on up your heart ache
Button on up your heart ache

And when it feels so perfect
It wets your soul with it...

Twas the strangest phenomenon
The rain it fell on the July day
Calling you falling blue
As your eyes reflect the sky

Where art thou going to
Flying through hemispheres 
Bleeding for yuor voice
I cant stay here in this darkness  

Button on up your heart ache
Button on up your heart ache
Button on up your heart ache

And when it feels so perfect
It wets your soul with it...


I wrote and recorded the new Strangelights EP last month in a two week whirlwind of roxy music/kraftwek/joy division inspiration.  been mixing and mastering the lot - which are 7 tracks drenched with black eye make up amid shirtless boys on the dance floor and one tune titled the Darkness of Your Heart in which I trot out my deepest most lovelorn baritone for.....  Here's a small sample of whats to come I hope you like my new direction.....

The Highest Choir of Angels

The centerpiece of The Strangelight's album 88 is this epic song that is a cross between rock opera, sea chanty, indie rock with an unexpected outro of 80s funk jammarama!  You can hear the original solo version of this song here: https://soundcloud.com/beauphillips1/messages

When I think
What I had
When I was behind those closed doors
Now I see all my sadness
Left amid my torrid adore

When I was just a lad
Heard of true love just in folklore
Now I see just the padding
Behind hospital doors

Lost in numbers and adding
Messages from the Great Omniscient
What else can I say?
There has NEVER ever been more...

When I think what I had when I was forced to walk in those straight lines, lost my mind
But these lines in my head becamse numbers
And woke me from the dead - I'm alive

When I think what I see when I close my eyes
I see so clearly in this dark
I see shapes, colors, auras
Cores of all beings can be seen
We're all marked

Lost in numbers and adding
Messages from the Great Omniscient
What else can I say?
There has NEVER ever been more...

I'm walking by myself
And I'm in search of you
I've walked miles holding you
In the cradle of my mind

Craniums will explode
With all the things I've got to tell you
Yeah they left us both behind
Craniums will explode
With all the things I've got to tell you
Me in shadows and you asleep they thought
That you were dying

The star shepherds
Will take us there
Listen for the word
The word is everywhere
The star shepherds
Yes, the word is love
The star shepherds
Navigate us home...

Darkness Of Your Heart
By Beau Phillips

 I see the lovers walking  down the roadway
Hand in hand - oh God there is no way
My love is secret - Cut you with a knife
I'll never love another in my life

So where do I go from here
You see light but are in shadows
By the darkness of your heart,
The darkness of your heart

I see you two sunbathing in the white light
Does she know that once you were mine
Our love was secret - shatter her sweet world
An empty vessel, I'll never be your girl

So where do I go from here
You see light but are in shadows
By the darkness of your heart,
The darkness of your heart

Still darling you will frolic in the moonlight.....

Somehow I let myself swim as far out as you
You're such a swimmer, you're a water sign
You trust in waves, make love in currents
Oh the fear came back
And my fires burning black
And there's monsters in the deep
The tide may take us away

Away, Away
There's my running on cliffs
My hearts set adrift
Away, Away
It's not suicide if you thought that you'd survive

Dave, Dave...

Somehow I let myself get as far out as you
Cliff divings just what we like to do
Somehow I let myself get as far out as you
Cliff divings just what we like to do

I once had a dream of you and I
We were on a great adventure
In the dream there were 4 paths we could go on
One was sweet and swift
And one was like a labrynthe
Th third was royal and pleasant
The fourth was only meant for
Incorupptible bodies, bodies
A great wind swept us lost down the fourth path
Bodies, bodies...
Set adrift, we took a draught of bliss and...

Dave, Dave...

Somehow I let myself get as far out as you
Cliff divings just what we like to do
Somehow I let myself get as far out as you
Cliff divings just what we like to do

You're inside I
As far as I can tell
But the fear came back, the tide
The Tide May Take Us Away...

He's Trying To Kill You
by Beau Phillips

I don't know where to be
The Snakes in my room are here and they're 
Torturing Me
I bid you please, don't call or knock on the door darling

I don't know who I am 
The drugs have taken over me
Please save me
In the garden is where I'll be
All alone, all alone, all alone
Please save me

I don't know when he'll finally be free
He's been held captive for so long
A Stockholm son believes
His captors won't lie
They want nothing but the best
For their son

I don't know who I am 
The drugs have taken over me
Please save me
In the garden is where I'll be
All alone, all alone, all alone
Please save me

Last night I had a change of heart
It seems I've wronged everyone in my life
Why oh why did I stab my eyes out?
Darling pray that I will find the pieces of my eyes
That are strewn at my feet
Oh please let me see
Let me released....

I don't know who I am 
The drugs have taken over me
Please save me
In the garden is where I'll be
All alone, all alone, all alone
Please save me

Lyrics:

We look at all the pretty girls in white
You took a pic of pretty girls in white
A parade of pretty, pretty girls in white
As we wade through all the pretty girls in white
We look at all the pretty girls in white
You hooked a few, a pretty two in white
Love is good, love is good, love is good
So misunderstood
Love is good, love is good
Love would be better if you would

But what happens 
When you fall in love with a pretty girl
Pretty girl, pretty girl, pretty girl in white
Will you stay with her at night?

Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh no...

Oh will you wander 
Even though you have a pretty girl in white?
Oh will you wander 
Even though you have a pretty girl in white?
Oh will you wander 
Even though you have a pretty girl in white?
Oh will you wander 
Even though you have a pretty girl in white?

We look at all the pretty girls in white
They walk on down the street
Under the street lights
They offer dreamy treats
Keep a man satisfied
You won't be complete until you've tried it 
Before you've died
We look at all the pretty girls in white
You hooked a few, a pretty two in white
Love is good, love is good, love is good
So misunderstood
Love is good, love is good
Love would be better if you would

But what happens 
When you fall in love with a pretty girl
Pretty girl, pretty girl, pretty girl in white
Will you stay with her at night?

Oh no, oh no, oh no...

Oh will you wander 
Even though you have a pretty girl in white?
Oh will you wander 
Even though you have a pretty girl in white?
Oh will you wander 
Even though you have a pretty girl in white?
Oh will you wander 
Even though you have a pretty girl in white?

Lyrics

It's still hot as hell outside
Reminds me of a blood bath
I'm in wrath
The end of summer days and eve
And all that I believe to be half true
I'm fleeing once again
I'm losing my secret friend and sanity

The end of August
Such a death drenched time
And I must move to escape all the sadness and the crime

Only I on an empty trail
Of roads and rails that whisper wistful songs
Of suffocation and mutilation
Only I on an empty trail
Of roads and rails that whisper wistful songs
Of suffocation and mutilation

I think the time has come again
For me to vanish into thin air
Where the blistering wind n pavement black takes me
Will make me free
So I can cut through all the imagery brainwashed 
invaded my mind
Keep little in your pockets time is a suspicious confine 


The end of August
Such a death drenched time
And I must move to escape all the sadness and the crime

Only I on an empty trail
Of roads and rails that whisper wistful songs
Of suffocation and mutilation
Only I on an empty trail
Of roads and rails that whisper wistful songs
Of suffocation and mutilation

Yes I guess one could say 
I am as lonely as can be
I've come to the conclusion
There's no boy or girl for me
Most of the others
In similar druthers so dreary
Would delve into ritualistic effigy
But not me, I'm contemplating celibacy

Now I understand
When Morrissey the man 
Unveiled to the world
His virtuous plan

On the sexlife of flowers
A porno to be filmed 
In your sadomasochistic hour
On the sexlife of flowers
Adore you oh they will 
When you're naked rolling round in flowers
On the sexlife of flowers
Warn you oh I will
That my voodoo lilly really towers
On the sexlife of flowers
A porno to be filmed 
In your sadomasochistic hour...

Yes, I guess one could say
Robert Mapplethorpe got it right
He showed slutty stamens 
In their hedonistic light
And Patti, she rolled her eyes
But she knew the c-c-connect
Tulips are hot and moist
Tumescient and erect

Now I understand
When Morrissey the man 
Unveiled to the world
His virtuous plan

On the sexlife of flowers
A porno to be filmed 
In your sadomasochistic hour
On the sexlife of flowers
Adore you oh they will 
When you're naked rolling round in flowers
On the sexlife of flowers
Warn you oh I will
That my voodoo lilly really towers
On the sexlife of flowers
A porno to be filmed 
In your sadomasochistic hour...

Lyrics
You wonder around under the night lights, starry eyes
You're hanging around those viscious kids
They tell you lies and they try to trick you
They turn you around and make you their doll
They live vicariously through you

My heart holder hear me
Hey now can you hear me
Telepathy Baby
Yeah I'm talking to you
My heart holder hear me
Hey now can you hear me
Telepathy Baby
Yeah I'm talking to you

Your talented eyes they've seen the past 
And know tomorrow's flight path
But you were there at the party, your gifts were revealed
They mobbed you sobbing, begging to be healed
I pray and hope they'll never harm you
Or lock you away for knowing the truth

My heart holder hear me
Hey now can you hear me
Telepathy Baby
Yeah I'm talking to you
My heart holder hear me
Hey now can you hear me
Telepathy Baby
Yeah I'm talking to you

Dancing alone in my room
The poem of a life in near completion
Left me to die in a tomb
A stone of light I view and through a vision:

I�m getting out of here: 
It�s not an act of treason
I�m getting out of here: 
Tis a change of season
I�m getting out of here: 
I�ll give you rhyme and reason
Faster Fashion I do crave
Time to pave a New Wave

Sway! Succumb to the trance
The only way to pray is if you come on to the dance
Rave! To music you�re enslaved
By the beat you are saved 
Welcome to the New Wave

Heaven is the record store
D-E-V-O-T-I-O-N doesn�t spell completion
You can all me Brit-Band Whore
Manchester, 1980�s, my Elysian Fields, yeah
I�m getting out of here 
Got my gift, got my skill
I�m getting out of here 
Get my drift: I�m Still Ill
I�m getting out of here 
Lightning swift I will fulfill
Blessed Bowie is my fave
Time to pave a New Wave

Sway! Succumb to the trance
The only way to pray is if you come on to the dance
Rave! In music you�re enslaved
By the beat you are saved 
Welcome to the New Wave

Lyrics:
Sometimes are hard
You’re chased in fear
The jagged shard
Would trace your tears
And if the scar
Made the message unclear
Count the stars
And I’ll appear

I’ll save you tonight and take you aflight
You’ll be such a sight, so free in the night
I’ll save you tonight and take you aflight
You’ll be such a sight, so free in the night

Don’t give up hope
You will escape
Life seems a joke
Written in fate
How do we cope?
Well, I’ll create
A life boat
To take you away

I’ll save you tonight and take you aflight
You’ll be such a sight, so free in the night
I’ll save you tonight and take you aflight
You’ll be such a sight, so free in the night

Free In The Night

Remixed & Remastered by Rick Lucas 2017

You find it easy to get any big thing you desire
Even though some may be put off by your perfection and your fire
You go for what you want though fate it can be dire
You spread your seed as if they feed upon it, sire

The strangest proposition for someone so mired in the flesh...
Maybe the givings of the bare flesh
Deny you true love?
Maybe the givings of the bare flesh
Deny you true love?

Betcha Don't Catch It
True Love
Betcha Don't Catch It
You're free

You post an ad, you think they're mad the voices calling you
It's kind of sad, the lengths they'll go to , to be balling you
You go for what you think will make you feel complete inside
A meet, a greet, a drink, a blink and then a lovely ride

The strangest proposition for someone so mired in the flesh...
Maybe the givings of the bare flesh
Deny you true love?
Maybe the givings of the bare flesh
Deny you true love?

Betcha Don't Catch It
True Love
Betcha Don't Catch It
You're free

Lyrics
It's cold in California
Their windy glares scold ya
And send you away
Blood soaked sky winter day
November grows lonely
My heart longs for comely
Embraces from the one I wish that I loved

Loneliest Boy
Oh...
You'll never feel true love
So cut it all away
Cut it all away

It was deafening and frozen 
On a four am road run through Space Mountain Hills
Coming Down from the thrill
I was among my big family
Feeling like a solo tragedy
Black sheep weeping inside
So I went for a solo drive through my dark side

The Strangelights music is a skipping rock that dances across the psychedelic lake before it swims abreast the disco fish and sinks to nestle forever amid the prog rock bottom abyss.  Check out Beau's new band @ SoundCloud.com/juxxtaposed
