TMC Records - March 2025 playlist

Foggy, through the lights
Such a fuzzy, hazy place
Oh we're all just cursed and lost, and living a lie, and when it comes to you, I can’t even
Confusion, everywhere
Don’t think about it, don't you stare
We all just go along, as if we have a clue, but everywhere we go we’re just laughing, 
At you. Laughing at you, boy.
Waiting, in the line
This is taking, up my time
We all look over there, and see that Mandalay, and look up in the air, and see the sky looks cloudy and
Walking, don’t know where
Can’t think about it, I just don’t care
We all just go along, as if we have a clue, but everywhere we go we’re just laughing, 
At you. Laughing at you, boy.
We all just go along, as if we have a clue, but everywhere we go we’re just laughing, 
At you. Laughing at you, boy.

No Good

A song about the temptation of flogging a horse even you know full well it's dead, and wanting to stop craving some sort of closure you'll never get.

Lyrics:

Verse 1
Hello… old friend… it’s been a while
Since you last wiped that smile from my face, and I
Don’t… understand… how all that bitterness
Can taste so sweet the minute you reach out to me…

Pre-chorus
And I know I’m falling into the same trap again
With every step I take towards you,
And isn’t it appalling I can’t seem to regret it enough
To turn my back, it’s overdue.

Chorus
I wanna be like Teflon to you,
Just want you rolling off the surface
You don’t deserve to get back under my skin again, I
Wanna be deaf on that ear
Instead of scanning the atmosphere 
For a signal from you saying what I wanna hear.

Verse 2
The thing... with you… is I can never
Tell if I’m in hell or heaven, there’s saints with horns and singing devils
In… the same room…
I pull one thread, the rainbow tapestry unravels, and entangles me...

Pre-chorus
And I know I’m falling into the same trap again
With every step I take towards you,
And isn’t it appalling I can’t seem to regret it enough
To turn my back, it’s overdue.

Chorus
I wanna be like Teflon to you,
Just want you rolling off the surface
You don’t deserve to get back under my skin again, I
Wanna be deaf on that ear
Instead of scanning the atmosphere 
For a signal from you saying what I wanna hear.

Bridge
Out of sight is out of mind, until you find a way pry the window open again,
And I start running for the hills, cos it gives me chills how a part of me won't let go of the thrill of
Everything spinning, I know there’s nothing in it for me, and I’ll never win this and I just...

Double-Chorus
I wanna be like Teflon to you,
Just want you rolling off the surface
You don’t deserve to get back under my skin again, I
Wanna be deaf on that ear
Instead of scanning the atmosphere 
For a signal from you saying what I wanna hear...

I wanna be like Teflon to you,
Just wanna run away from this circus,
You don’t deserve to get back under my skin again, I
Wanna be deaf on that ear
Instead of scanning the atmosphere 
For a signal from you saying what I wanna hear.

Verse 3
The time… has come… for all the
The saints and devils in the room
To preach paradise and endless doom
And I’m… the one…
Who somehow keeps the wheel of fortune spinning,
Eternity is just beginning…

When You Go

Am                                   Em                                Am                                        G                         Am 
When last we met we joked and shared that bottle, through laughter  spoke of doing it again 
Am                               Em              Am                                                                  G                              Am
Somehow i knew that it would be our last one but still smiled and drank as though it was our first 


      C                         G                      Am                  C                               G                            Am
Now nobody knows where you’re  going  but we know that you’re  not coming back again
Am             C Em              Am                        C  Em             Am
When you go …when you go      When you go….. when you go 

Now who will call  me out when im straying  now no one left to steer me as i grow

And how I will miss your harsh criticisms that only a fathers love can show

Chorus

We wept as we carried you to chapel and we tried to say our final farewell

Your body burnt a life reduced ashes set loose upon waves you loved so well

Chorus

So now we must go on and live without you and try to find  reason  where there’s none 

You’ll live on in our hearts and our memories and in each bottle that we share from now on

Chorus  and repeat ending to fade

When you go

Keeping It Summer (demo)

LYRICS
Deep in southern Wyoming,
Where he plays the keys.

He fell out of love with Naomi,
He fell out of love with the scene.

He thinks in his mind he might die soon.
So why waste his time?

He keeps an eye on that heirloom,
While he makes up his mind.

20 damn years I’ve been
playing here,

To the sound of my band and the
Smell of beer.

Don’t cower to the crowd
They smell fear

Growing up - my role models,
Now the crowd
Both throw bottles.

It’s so clear now
I need a clear out,

Naomi’s saying I’m acting kinda weird now.

Open tabs for a flat,
I keep an ear out.

I keep my fears in,
She lets her tears out.

Deep in southern Wyoming,
Where he plays the keys.

He fell out of love with Naomi,
He fell out of love with the scene.

He thinks in his mind he might die soon.
So why waste his time?

He keeps an eye on that heirloom,
While he makes up his mind.

I wanna be more
Than digits on a keyboard

Call me Skinner,
Cos I want to see more
Of the world,

Mood up and down
Like a see-saw,

Face like a smacked ass:
Eeyore.

We’d be together forever,
Yeah that’s what she thought.

She sees a peasant, a scumbag,
I’ve got no retort.

I turn to leave and
take the car keys she bought,

I’m off to be more
Tyres screech, she’s floored.

Deep in southern Wyoming,
Where he plays the keys.

He fell out of love with Naomi,
He fell out of love with the scene.

He thinks in his mind he might die soon.
So why waste his time?

He keeps an eye on that heirloom,
While he makes up his mind

Though he goes now,
He’ll stop when he’s found home.

Though he goes now,
He’ll stop when he’s found home.

Though he goes now,
He’ll stop when he’s found home.

Though he goes now,
He’ll stop when he’s found home.

Naomi

Just a track about living your life without the constraints of perception and inhibitions
