HEART TIED

SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN

Written, produced, arranged, performed, mixed by Dead Honcho. Lyrics by Darren. 

All the world is a stage
And now we know
We play the roles we play
Cause we make it so
Big wigs on the heads
Of the little ones
We're opening our eyes
And see they're playing with guns

For years we were asleep
Yeah their lies were bought
They were counting on their sheep
Who by the wolves were taught
Dressed up like the kids
To carry out their plots
Off with all their clothes 
Show 'em who's the big shot

Let's wake up
Let's shake up
Let's get up
Let's stand up

On day of emergency
Many lives were lost
Both sides of the bills
Oh yeah they paid the cost
Holes are gettin' deep
Cause all these lines were crossed
Time to push 'em in
And fill it to the top

I refuse to buy tickets 
To these staged events
Cause all the actors break their legs
With all our dollars and cents
While we struggle with our parts 
And barely make the rent
It's time we end this scene
And form one hundred percent

Let's wake up
Let's shake up
Let's get up
Let's stand up

Stand up

LET'S STAND UP

Written, performed produced and engineered by Dead Honcho. Lyrics by Darren. 

You don't give up
In the face of all you see
She closed the door
And I swallowed the key
Do you remember what you said to me
Turns out you've been swallowed by the sea

Lonely fisherman

Was she once yours
If she never wore your ring
You should've known 
She's always thinking of me

Do you remember what you said to me
Turns out you've been swallowed by the sea

Who do you think you are
I'm not having it
Lonely fisherman
You lonely fisherman

LONELY FISHERMAN

Performed, written, produced, arranged and mixed by Darren and Sal. Lyrics by Darren. 

This record's on repeat
Spinning 'round endlessly
Our words lost their meaning
Our ears are left bleeding

Don't turn away from me
I'm here to help you see

Oh girl you've got a hold on me
Damn baby, got a hold on me

Those star-crossed days went black
Just short of heart attack
Our eye syncs up in time
Been showin' all the signs

Don't turn away from me
I'm here to help you see

Oh girl you've got a hold on me
Damn baby, got a hold on me
You really got a hold on me
You pretty thing you got a hold on me
I won't let go you got a hold on me

HOLD ON ME

Flame

The song 'It's OK' was inspired by a series of difficult events that occurred during the year after Jon completed his tour on BBDLP1, the last Big Black Delta record. This included losing his father to a stroke, finding that all of his gear was stolen, and losing one of his best friends to cancer. Since going public with some of this news, Bates has been inundated with incredible kindness and thoughtful support from friends, musicians, fans and strangers alike. This song is a thank you. A gesture of gratitude to everyone who has been kind — and to the universe itself.
Big Black Delta's forthcoming album 'Tragame Tierra' is due out in January 2016, you can pre-order now via Pledge Music, alongside limited edition and exclusive merchandise:  http://smarturl.it/BBD-TragameTierra
