Beautifully warm and intimate. That is something you do very well. Great spare arrangement, too. Another thing you do really well.

LYRICS:
----------------------------
(townie)
People in this town, they've all seen you hangin' around
They don't like it
They're not buyin' what you're sellin', standing' on your box and yellin'
They don't like it
Their sentiment is strong, and they asked you move along
They don't like it. They really don't like it.

(monty)
People in this town, one by one they sneak around
They seem to like it
They come and they go, they never let the neighbors know
That they like it
They may hide it from the rest, but their coins inside my chest say they like it
Oh, I think they like it. They like it.

(townie)
With your shell games and dice, I ain't tellin' you twice
I don't like it
They're down on their knees while you sell them your disease
I don't like it
With your slug milk and wine, they're just fish on your line
I don't like it I really don't like it.

(monty)
I am just a businessman, I make my living where I can
The way I like it
I am sure you understand, I'm just meeting their demand
And I like it
So there's no need to taunt, I just give them what they want and they like it, 
Oh I think they like it, and I like it

(townie)
They say that you're depraved, that you're sick and can't be saved
We don't like it.
And the medicine you sell isn't making them well
We don't like it.
So just get on down the road, if you'd like, I'll help you load
We don't like it. We really don't like it.

(monty)
My patience wearing thin, I take another one on the chin
Because they like it.
So I guess I'll up and go, take my tack and tents in tow
I don't like it
But your virtue is a clown, so I'll go to the next town
Where they like it. I'll go where they like it.
Where they like it.

The Mountebank

Heart Of Flesh

Sci-fi influenced.

A dark, abstract poem with elements of Dalism and Boscheanism.

"An unfamiliar land of shifting scenes.
Shadows expose the nightmares inside my dreams.
What once was my reflection, a silhouette.
I think I used to know me, but I forget.

A flock of birds that circle above my head
surrender rationale to my growing dread.
I think I have forgotten how I appear.
I still can't find the mirror, and no one's here.

And I remember you..."

Music and lyrics by Rob Blade.

Ramblin’ Man

Ramblin' Man (GoodTime Parlour Band)

A power ballad about death and decay. Interpreting inevitable changes, loss and departure into John's skillful lyrics, the vocal melody conveys a deep sadness. I composed and played the song on piano and guitar both. It's hard to believe that a random collaboration paired John and me together. Later, Dirk joined as a vocalist and added plenty of drama. Thank you so much, it's always fun to collaborate with you!

==== LYRICS ====

I'm like a tree that sheds its leaves 
The final stage is coming, 
devoid of any future 

I stay here rooted to this spot 
No need to move around no, 
an ever growing tumour 

I see it only in my dreams 
When I awake from silence 
I hear the wind is calling me 
Testing my self-reliance 

Oohh sings the wind 
Oohh sings the wind 
Oohh sings the wind 
Things will never be the same 
Things will never be the same 

Alone I’ve walked this dusty road 
Left no trace and no sorrow, 
got no idea to borrow 

I'm bound right to this dying land 
Carrion crows are calling, 
an ever circling shadow 

I hope one day to see the light 
Dappled through meadows and tall trees 
And singing like the rippling stream 
Carried on a silent breeze 

Oohh sings the wind (it sings your name) 
Oohh sings the wind (it sings your name) 
Oohh sings the wind (it sings your name) 
Things will never be the same 
Things will never be the same
