LUCIA MAMELI
I Have To Keep On

Simon says I've gotta 
keep it real
another judge thinks 
I'm quite surreal, he says
I should sing cabaret
in a Lynch movie
I don't know about you 
but I don't think that's groovy

I go on stage and
sing another song       		
'cause I just  can't stop singing and I
have to keep on
and keep on
I have to keep on

I sing the song
I give my heart and my soul
the thumb-down crowds 
have lost control
Mrs O. Says again
how did it go
I say they haven't bought it
and I haven't sold

I go on stage and
sing another song       		
'cause I just  can't stop singing and I
have to keep on
and keep on
I have to keep on

Let's call it a wrap
and forget 'bout my singing
the news are now on 
but inside I'm sinking
got no technique
unlike all the others
I can't ignore the feeling 
you've voted down my covers

I go on stage and
sing another song
I go on stage and
sing another song
I go on stage and
sing another song
'cause I just can't 	stop singing
and I have to keep on, and keep on

I HAVE TO KEEP ON

Written aaaaaaaages ago! One sad day, written while I was still sad.. like my blacksmith uncle who used to strike while the iron was still hot
      Picked it up again recently, inspired by a concert that touched my heart

LYRICS
When I’m all cried out
And I need you most
You’re nowhere near me
And I thought we were so close

When I’m feeling drought
And I’m sorry for myself
You turn into a stranger
And I’ve got nobody else

Day after day, can’t you see
That you’ve never really loved me
No, you’ve never really loved me
No, you’ve never really loved me

You liked me strong
You liked me fun
What happens when I’m weak
Oh!  You just wanna run

You liked me enough
Just not as much
I’m not your little  Barbie doll
That needs you tough

Why didn’t you catch me when I fell
Why don’t you soothe me in my bed
Why don’t you lift me when I’m down
Why don’t you save me when I drown
 
Day after day, can’t you see
That you never
You never
You never really loved me
No, you’ve never really loved me
No, you’ve never really loved me

Day After Day

A depressing song inspired by the scary times we live in, overshadowed by political shambles and all sorts of doom and gloom wherever you look. Not exactly cheerful I'm afraid... I actually started out as an attempt to write a song like the wonderful Isaac Gracie's tune "Last Words", so I started with those chords and then got sidetracked into a different kind of dark rabbit hole, and this came out instead.

Verse 1 & 2 
There’s left and right, and black and white
And nothing in between 
The world is watching as the fight erupts upon the screen.

No space for rhyme or reason now,
Just escalating scenes
Of bigots riling up the crowds for their own twisted dreams.

Chorus
So why do we pretend … somehow
That our eyes don’t see … the end approaching now?
The cracks in the trembling ground,
Foundations crumbling down,
The darkness all around,
It swallows every sound.

Verse 3 & 4 
Their words are poison cutting through the noise and 
Dripping into open ears,
Instilling fear and killing any hope we had.

They waste our time, with escapades of / and dipping in and out of 
Pointless power games
While humanity hangs by a thread.

Chorus
So why do we pretend … somehow
That our eyes don’t see … the end approaching now?
The cracks in the trembling ground,
Foundations crumbling down,
The darkness all around,
It swallows every sound.

Chorus
So why do we pretend … somehow / They fight over the captain’s crown
That our eyes can’t see … the end approaching now? / This ship with all of us is going don
The cracks in the trembling ground,
Foundations crumbling down,
The darkness all around,
It swallows every sound.

Nothing In Between (demo)

Masquerade

Sunday Blues

This is a collaboration with my sister Darcey Wilks who is 14. 
It’s about believing in yourself and never giving up. Listening to yourself, and not listening to those people who say you can’t do it. It’s about achieving something every day!

Lyrics (Copyright PRS)

Sometimes things don’t go as planned
Sometimes without a command
And people always tell you that 
It’s not gonna work
But I believe in you 
Even when things are dark
Don’t let people get past you 
Don’t let them stop your flow
Then you will have left me
When we part…..

So just believe 
Believe 
Sometimes 
Sometimes

Sometimes things don’t go as planned 
Sometimes without a command 
And people always tell you that 
It’s not gonna succeed 
But I can see in you 
Even when things don’t work out
Don’t let people discourage you 
Don’t let them darken your glow 
Then you will have set free 
All my doubt……

So just believe
Believe 
Sometimes
Sometimes

Sometimes (Featuring Darcey Wilks) Full Track OUT NOW

Sign

yesterday, a random day
I pick up work and yet my thoughts won't stay
a matrass full of blood seen on a screen
and now on my mind, hard to erase that scene
hard to erase the scene

they say don't let it in, pick a fight you can win
call it pragmatism or a cardinal sin
well not everyone can, they are real in that film, 
in that war they are in, where it's men against men, 
men fighting against men


whatever they have seen that made them loose your faith
what made them doubt that war and world are turning
what kind of place is human race
why face it with the sun in the morning


war, you monster, go away
takes a single wave to flood a quay
takes another sunrise for the day
til Russian soldiers disobey
they disobey

someday seeds all start to flower
and the young birds learn to fly
Putin then no more in power
and Selensky seen in suit and tie
in suit and tie


whatever you have seen that made you loose your faith
what made them numb to hope and numb to warning
that made you stay awake so late
someday those will be news in the morning

Selenski seen in suit and tie
