I've been following @Ladyofire aka Tanisha Jackland for almost 7 years, ever since I first became more active on SC. At that time, we were both based in Seattle and she was one of the few local people I'd discovered on here. I've always been inspired by her poetry and spoken word pieces set to music. Every so often she posts an open collab. When I stumbled across the original version of this track, Crimes Against Humanity - https://soundcloud.com/ladyofire/crimes-against-humanity-open-collab ... I decided to finally go for it. Great to be collaborating Tanisha!

Crimes Against Humanity (TRC Remix) by Lady of Fire Poetry

I made this for my little sister; it's a string of cameos about the town where we were born and raised - a suburb of Newcastle Upon Tyne.  Low income, but real world, real people, real troubles, real joy, real love, real communities, real humour, real music, real life.  All in gloriously rough 1960's industrial working class North East England monochrome.

For those of you not from that part of the world, lyric translations back to English are available upon request. :)

Started as a scribble, pretended to be a poem for a while, then I decided to noodle along and then.....  Ah, you know how it is.....in Byker town.

Byker Town

Wallpaper of steam trains
Where the sweeping headlights sprawled
‘Cross the ceiling to the old piano
Up against my bedroom wall
In ‘67 the lid came down
Never played again so fair
I’m walking back to Byker town
I’ll meet you there.

Cross the bridge to get to school
Rope swings underneath
Bull’s eyes from the slaughterhouse 
Bombed out rail yard stark relief
Billy Smart’s big top’s coming down
But I don’t care
I’m walking back to Byker town
I’ll meet you there.

Stench of old men in the Raby Arms
A bottle of dog to take back yem
Dominos and baccy tins
Were all that mattered way back then
Every retail product to be found
In Ernie’s shop just six foot square
I’m walking back to Byker town
I’ll meet you there.

Quayside Sunday mornings
Champion, just the job
A week of meat to feed the bairns
For only fower bob
Scranshins from the chippy van ‘round
The side door of the Mayfair
I’m walking back to Byker town
I’ll meet you there.

Sent out on the Wednesday
In Charlie Shepherd’s finest rags
Over to the smokies
To get free broken kippers by the bag
Dad got paid when Thursday came around
Treats for us to share
I’m walking back to Byker town
I’ll meet you there.

Front step full of babbies
Grazed knees on skinny legs
Back lane rows of nappies
Her face is full of wooden pegs
He’s on the dole no work to be found
Torn bookie slips by his chair
I’m walking back to Byker town
I’ll meet you there.

Nets twitching down the road
Never washed in years
Kids with mucky faces 
Almost clean behind the ears
Never seem to have a frown
Owning only what they wear
I’m walking back to Byker town
I’ll meet you there.

Give up all the baggage I’ve got now
Of life in disrepair
I’m walking back to Byker town
I’ll meet you there.

A song about a dream that takes me away to an Island in the Sun, do you want to hop aboard and lets set sail for better weather and peace.

CONSOLATION

A song of empathy and solace for all those going through rough times, uncertainty, loss and grief right now caused by war, expressed in my humblest and non-verbal way ...

Consolation | Dan van den Berg

ET DANS CE MONDE OÙ RIEN NE DURE
LE TEMPS DE COMPTER JUSQU’À TROIS
LES VIEUX BÉGUINS ONT LA VIE DURE
MOI J’AI ENCORE RÊVÉ DE TOI

AUSSI LOINTAINS QUE LA GRANDE OURSE
ET INCERTAINS QUE L’AVENIR
LES VIEUX BÉGUINS ONT LA PEAU DOUCE
IL NOUS EN RESTE LE SOUVENIR

MILLE ANS DÉJÀ QU’ON NE S’EST VUS
POURTANT JE VOIS TOI DANS LES NUES
TOI TOUTE NUE LÀ DANS MES BRAS
CHAQUE FOIS QUE JE RÊVE DE TOI

ILS N’ÉTAIENT RIEN QU’UN FEU DE PAILLE
DATANT DE NOS ANNÉES-LUMIÈRE
RIEN QU’UN BÉGUIN OUI MAIS DE TAILLE
LA PREUVE ON SE RETROUVE HIER

VAILLE QUE VAILLE L’AMOUR
UN CHAMPS DE RUINES CHAMPS DE BATAILLE L’ AMOUR
 
PARFOIS L’OUBLI NOUS PORTE À CROIRE
QU’ON AURAIT PERDU LA MÉMOIRE
MAIS RIEN À FAIRE LÀ NOS BRAS
ON EN RE-RÊVE DE FOIS EN FOIS

ET DANS CE MONDE OÙ TOUT S’ÉGARE
LES HOMMES LES AMOURS ET LES TRAINS
LES VIEUX BÉGUINS DANS NOS TIROIRS 
LES VIEUX BÉGUINS NE LÂCHENT RIEN

LES VIEUX BÉGUINS  (Lyrics)

Imaginary Progress

Nonsense, just nonsense! Hopefully, the listener will feel like someone kicked down their door, rants for 3 minutes, and then leaves. 

Lyrics:
Riding my bicycle
I was 8 years old
Riding to the Biblioteca
What the heck does that get ya?

Hey! Speak up asher bard
They say your miseries are symphonies
Hey, what are you writing in that notebook?
You know I say: I'm a poet
But, I make my own hours
That's how you know that you really own it
That's how you know that you've really made it
I've been playing a fool for so long
But I will probably do it again
If you insist
Hey, c'mon, everyone
Give it up for the band!
I've been  trespassing on salvation
I've been speaking in binary code
I'm an observer in slo-mo

Let's disseminate the movie of my life
Cue the split screen
It's like some kind of cosmic universe blooper reel
I'm trying to document the way that we feel
It's 3 AM in the rain
And I'm staring at myself
It's 3 AM in the rain
Can you not see yourself?
Oh, let's give it up
Give it up for the band!

Let those good vibes shine!

I've been thinking about the matter
And the anti-matter
I've got some kind of Dostoevsky skin disease (cough)
You know what I mean?
I've got the aftershave and undertones
The poet's got the loneliest nose
For the way things go

The biblioteca, what the heck will that get ya?
