This is the second song posted from the album Bitzone, Stricknice, Wou-Wou & the Wormling, and I have been working on together with a number of other friends on SoundCloud. The first song shared was the late 80s indie American underground inspired song, Ghosting Out, that include Bonetender joining with his transistor organ and guitar. The Show / The Shrike Pt. 3 is one of the 4 songs on the album inspired by Wou-Wou & the Wormling’s graphic novel, the Shrike, which inspired this project. 

Massive thanks to Carlos Vivanco and Belial Pelegrim for joining us on this track. This is the 2nd song Belial has joined me on and the first song I have had the privilege of working with Carlos on. It is amazing to have them both on the same track together. I feel so lucky to get to work with all my favorite musicians.

Lyrics:
Slowly the room will fill with smoke 
Mirrors help occupy the hoax 
Laughing when no one gets the joke
Millions waiting for the quote
Tell me what would you do for fame
How do you plan to win the game
Can you fit in the mould they make
If I asked would you scream my name
For the show

Simon says I will take the lead
Stick with me and you will succeed 
Come and get it come and chase this dream
All you need is a sob story
Like a moth to a flame so bright
Your a slave to the stark spotlight
Cheshire cat with her teeth so white
Tune in and see it all tonight
In the show

In the show

Later that evening as smoke from the chimney was pelted by the rain
Slain and dismembered my head fully severed and mounted and displayed 
It’s hard to explain I’m awake with no pain and hallowed out in the brain
I wouldn’t complain, a life that’s mundane, is all I could hope to attain
except i was detained by bird with a man and this is what he was saying  

Are you having me on?

In the show

You are out all day and this sorry excuse is all that you bring back?
This second rate stag you decided to bag isn’t worthy of a plaque 
Did I make my self clear I can’t tell from your sneer are we still on same track
Our collection is nearly complete I conceit but there is only one thing that we lack

One human head 
One human head
Don’t disappoint me now
In the show
You’re a freak, an animal and most importantly a killer
You’re a freak, an animal and most importantly a killer
A killer
A killer
A killer

Humans seem to think they need to 'tame' nature, that it needs to be controlled,  and things like trees, insects, wildlife, animals are ranked on their 'usefulness' to humans, but they should not have to have a reason or purpose to exist- they should just live and be because why should their existence be measured to suit humans?
Be the person who sees all life as important, all the way from the grass you walk on, to the insects that we can't live without, to what you are eating, and the journey of how it got there.
Please think twice about what chemicals you put on your lawn just to rid so- called 'weeds', which happen to be so so beautiful if you can alter your way of thinking. My happeist times are sitting in my garden watching buzzing bees and insects flying round, I don't need to interfere in their homes, I want them to thrive. 
Most people continue doing what they do, because they've always done it. but it's a really good idea to educate yourself about the environment, its good to change your mind and see things differently, just because everyone is doing it, doesn't mean they are right.

Lyrics

Pretty and pretty wild
When you leave it alone
Yellow and lilac and absolute

Let the weeds grow
Let the flowers grow
Just leave it alone
Put the chemicals away
And watch it all grow
Let the weeds grow

Hello I am noticing you
Just being and being and being
Existence doens't need to be justified
A joy and a love not confound

Let the weeds grow
Let the flowers grow
Just leave it alone
Put the chemicals away
And watch it all grow
Let the weeds grow

Pretty is so pretty can be wise
Dancing in all kinds of lights
Intuitive this magic never ends
You don't need to control anything

Let the weeds grow
Let the flowers grow
Just leave it alone
Put the chemicals away
And watch it all grow
Let the weeds grow

Happy For No Reason | RosesAreBlue

When the synapse snaps

The last of your last chances

A prayer for the working class

Save me from yourself

"Further" is a groovey/rocking single from our upcoming slef titled album "Tank Top"

Further

This is the first song in our 8-song serialised concept album, "Summer of '87". The other songs will follow over the coming year...essentially, as we get to them.

Lyrics:

My heart starts racing
When I am facing
The chance of seeing you in the halls

Between my classes
Take off my glasses
Even though I don’t have a chance at all

You don’t look my way
I can’t really say
Whether you even know I exist

I fear getting burned
And still haven’t learned
How to handle feeling like this

They call it a summer crush
‘Cause they don’t think that much
Of all this teenage stuff

I’ve known you since the first grade
But somehow something has changed

I never thought a girl
Could be my whole world
Or at least that’s the way it seems

Wanna be near you
Feel some fear too
Is this how it’s supposed to be?

They call it a summer crush
‘Cause they don’t think that much 
Of all this teenage stuff

They call it a summer crush
But that can’t be enough
For what I think is true love
