all these new songs are amazing! congratulations on the album!

Plucks out his eyebrows
Sprays on the tan
What a magnificent age
Worships the image 
He sees in the glass  
Barely suppressing his rage 

No alcohol no drugs no fun at all
He’s a master of self control
Asexual by choice not by design
Dysmorphic detoxified soul

​21st century bore
21st century bore
21st century bore

Green eyed and hurting 
She paints on a smile 
Time for her latest release
The marks on her face
Are erased and replaced
But the scars in her mind still remain  

Papers the cracks as her world falls apart
Losing herself in the reel
Always somebody ahead of the game
Leaves such a hollow feel

21st century bore
21st century bore
21st century bore

The descent into blandness
Continues at speed
Is this what we want?

Has the future been sold?
Am I just growing old?
I can’t face being alone
This shallow control
It leaves me cold

Street dog say 
Don't you agree
Life has ben good so far

Time to grab your coat and
Find your way home
The radio in my car

Talks about the
Good and the bad news
Sings you can count on me
I wish it'd be true about us, too

People get up
People are busy
People go back to sleep

Don't look back
You don't need the past
And over again 
You failed to do what's right
Come in second best

And it's alright with me
If it makes you happy
And it's alright with me
Baby it's alright

Future plans didn't make sense
Still we're doing great, my friend
People get up
People are lazy
People don't understand

Don't look back
No one needs the past
Over again 
You failed to do what's right
Come in second best

And it's alright with me
If it makes you happy
And it's alright with me
Baby it's alright

And it's alright with me
Baby it's alright

Da da da
Da da da

Alright With Me

Our 4th Song for our upcoming debut album! Just following the stars!

Lyrics:

Where are we going?
Suitcase in hand
There ain't no destiny
No promised land
And it just breaks your heart
To leave it all behind

What is the way from here
Suitcase in hand
Just what you leave it all for
No one understands
And it just breaks your heart
Not knowing what you'll find

I rest my mind 
Just following the stars
I pledged my life
To the mercy of the gods

The words you gave to me
Is all I have
But you can have faith in me
I will be brave
And it just makes you wonder
Where do we belong?

I rest my mind 
Just looking the stars
I pledged my life
To the mercy of the gods

I rest my mind 
Just trusting in the stars
I pledged my life
To the mercy of the gods

The words you gave to me
Is all I have
But you can have faith in me
I will be brave
And it just makes you wonder
Where do we belong?

Where are we going
Suitcase in hand
We follow ancient tales of
The promised land

And there's just no choice
You gotta move along

The Journey

Picture Book (The Kinks)-Los Bunkers-Sesiones Rock&Pop

I wrote this one almost all at once, sitting on the floor of our little lamp-lit cabin one night in June after another long day of performing. I'd made a huge gamble just after my 24th birthday, and put all my money into a plane ticket to live overseas and start a band with a friend. We made our living playing on the streets, in bars, at weddings, wherever we could. We were happy. This tune was a meditation on the few years of my life leading up to that point, and the uncertain years ahead.  Though the song is a couple of years old, I've only just gotten around to recording it

Well I've been spending most of my time far away from home
And I've been spending most of my nights just waking up alone
While you wonder what you are, it isn't worth to know
You've been spending most of your days just wondering where to go

Oh my honey, won't you let me down slow
We'll soon be out of style
And oh, the lamplight, won't you turn it down low
We'll be here for a while

The desert, she was good to me, nearly broke my bones
Across the sea is where I'll be, while the sleepers row
Your feet may ache, your hands may shake, is fever worth the fight?
Take a stab at shooting the breeze, you're gonna turn out fine

Oh my honey, won't you let me down slow
We'll soon be out of style
And oh, the lamplight, won't you turn it down low
We'll be here for a while

the crowd is asking questions
time to feed the brains of fools
we're on the speedway of the global news
we have a serious network
we run the big machines
we keep you quiet with bread and games
it will quench the flame
isn't the weather nice today?

who gets fooled again

in the age of populism
sweeping around the globe
we are dealing with an overdose
of phrases, bubbles, airholes
advertisement and empty shells
we guarantee your comfort zone
trust us you are not alone
so better stay at home

who gets fooled again

The stars are shining bright tonight
Let them shine
The moon has never looked so kind
I don't mind

We don't need the starlight
Escaping from the past
We leave the town at last

The ocean looked the same back then
I don't mind
The radio plays our song again
All the time
And we can build a future
Escaping from the past
We're coming home at last

And if you still care for me
Then I will be around
And if you take care of me
then I will stick around
then I will stick around

And I can be alone tonight
I don't mind
The stars have never been so bright
Let them shine

The words that build our future
Can cover up the past
we leave it all at last

And if you still care for me
You know where I'll be found
And I will take care of you
Just you stick around
Just you stick around
