OLD COAL TOWN 

I grew up in an old coal town kicking up rocks from the ground
We even stole to be fed. 

Friends they come and friends they pass time was the ever last
See them solemn in there grace

This afternoon was something right
In these lands that delight
In the cools of the night
We just walk on by..
(there they go) 

Old man sits side the road 
Happy with all time spent .you see those etchings in the trees,

By him & her what a pair they fought and fought just didn't care, still hear there whispers on the breeze. 

This afternoon was something right
In these lands that delight
In the cools of the night
They just walk on by..
(there they go) 

RIFF

breathing out the streets and avenues 
Old coal town everyone will choose? 
I'm still reeling in that bed
Old coal town how much love you've had?

This afternoon was something right
In these lands that delight
In the cools of the night
We just walked on by..
( there I go) ... 

Old Coal Town

From the Debut Album "The Thin Thread" By Victorian Dad

Thin Thread

The Jobs are worthless and the company’s are dirt
Walking down my old street its starting to hurt
Recessions hitting hard and I lost my car
Got debts up to my eyes you don’t seem so surprised

It’s a thin thread im balancing on
A thin thread I’m hanging on
A thin thread I’ts turning you off

They say well life has its ways of making us pay
The wheel still turns in plunders of hate,
I got no more time for you at my door
Your bickering says we don’t need to rake any more

Thin thread I’m balancing on
Thin thread I’m hanging on
Thin thread is it turning you off?

I’ve been sleeping on floors and taking scores
The thin line of reality pours its not a walk in the park its seriously dark
I’m falling form my thin, thin thread

Thin thread I’m hanging on
A thin thread on balancing on
A thin thread I’m falling from

Well my body is twitching I’m heading into the storm
Recessions hitting everybody stone hard
From the top to the bottom we fly
The thin, thin thread is your third eye
Your third eye,
It’s your third eye

Thin Thread
Thin Thread

Push & Pull

The Nights quiet and full of pure distress
And the church spires backdrop of a blue sky 
The worlds crowded with one open eye, spite..
With no, intention of regrets, for ones self, over and over she flows

She pushed and pulled
She pushed and pulled

And you were the ghost under my floor
Its you , who I adored, 
And its you who shattered like glass on the floor
And its you

The highest kite, love was sweeping through the winds of change
Alone with my self in my hands I prayed
Then opportunity knocked me off my chair
Spun me around kicked me out the door out there

She pushed and pulled
She pushed and pulled

And you, were the ghost under my floor
Its you, who I adore,
And its you, who shattered like glass on the floor
And its you

Riff-

And you, were the ghost under my floor
Its you, who I adored
And its you, who shattered like glass on my floor
And its you, evaporate and get bored
Its You,
Its You,
Its You

I can usually spot who a band is influenced by . I can’t spot it with Victorian Dad.  You seem to cross a lot of genres and styles” Mike Joyce- interviewing the band for his  (New York)East Village Radio show.

I’d love to give you an idea of how they sound, compare them to another act even, but it’s just not that simple (Rock,Paper,Leeds Music Review)
