Throw her eyes

Been working on bits and bobs, as ever, came up with this new one, called Throw Her Eyes that is pretty much based on events from the night outs i've had this year.

I'll see you in the morning
I gotta get some sleep in
Tonight was wild, i've blacked my eyes
And at one point, I thought i'd broke my spine

Wheres my leather jacket
I've got the urge to kick it
I look a sight, i'm starting fights
And my jackets on the traffic light

I try to reach it as it turns green

Come and write on my arms
All your literacy charms
The ones I stole, on the way home
In a song I claim to have always owned

I wanna see her move
Christ look how she moves
Shes got such style, She makes me smile
And think that she'd be worthwhile

She won't throw her eyes for me to catch

Like theres noone watching
She dances to her heart beat
Shes so unconcerned that
She don't feel the heat
And soon 8 drinks comes 18
And I don't know what i'm doing
My eyes can't quite focus
And then the girl is gone

Where has she gone?
Where has she gone?
Wheres the girl gone?

She won't throw her eyes for me to catch
A cold that always lasts
I don't know which path you should choose
Sometimes i win sometimes i loose
But its all
Just for you

Books

Well, i certainly took my time over it, and I really wish I could sing it like it sounds in my head, because its simply wonderous.. ah well, i've attempted vocals on this about 20 times, and i've come back to the first vocal I did for it, its rough as fuck at points, but it seemed to capture the most feeling.

You read leather books all day
I won't look your way
I just work on the magic i need
To levitate myself away
I need to find something to try
Need to find something to do with my life

Cause I won't stay in the castle
That you made out of clay
And I feel the sea spray
As the tide starts to rise
I've got water
In my eyes, I can't see

What a surprise
I can't feel
Take me away
To anywhere but here
Please don't surprise
I don't wanna feel
Take me away
To anywhere but here

Please don't take me home
No I can't go back there
I ain't got a home
So you can't ever take me there

I watched you read the great escape
But you can't break
The chains that bind you to this place
That you hate
It dominates
Everything you want to be
Everything you want to do in life!

Theres no way out
Of the prison that you made out of gold
And i, i feel old
My lifes quite cold
I need you here to hold
Need you here to hold

Cause I can't feel
So take me away
To anywhere but here
I need you to hold
Cause I don't wanna feel
So take me away
To anywhere but here

Please don't take me home
No I can't go back there
I ain't got a home
And i just want some to hold

I pray you make your escape

Songwriting

I'm still writing and trying new ideas, i'm producing some interesting acoustic jangles lately, none in a position to post, but the new acoustic has certainly helped in the writing department. Earlier today i recorded a 3rd pre demo recording of a new song that has the working title of 'books'. I'm still trying to get a feel for the lyrics and how they dance and cross the music, vocal melody is becoming very important to me and i'm finding it increasingly difficult to sing what i'm writing, but thats probably a good thing. Post again soon.

Proud

New song called Proud. Should be fairly self explanatory.

I don't wanna let you down
I only, wanna make you proud
You give me belief and its such relief
To know that you will be around

Don't keep on listing
What you're missing
Cause your pissing
My time up the wall
When I want you all
I want you all

No I don't wanna pull you down
I'm just trying to find my sound
It might not seem that i'm living my dream
But noone knows what i've found

But still you're listing
What i'm missing
By existing
I'm giving my all
So if i fall
Yeh if i fall
Will you catch me if i fall
If i fall

D'you know I only, wanna make you proud
D'you know I only, wanna make you proud
Do I make you proud?
Do I make you proud?

Sebastian Melmoth

Song we've been working on in practice this week, works well as a band. Nice bouncy song that initially i thought was shockingly bad, but have come to enjoy it since practice.

Sebastian Melmoth
How you have changed
You're barely recognisable
Beneath that name

And is it true
You drowned in shame?
Below the tide of those
Who propagate your pain

Oooohhh.... Wheres the money gone?
Oooohhh.... Wheres the loving gone?

Sebastian
Will you ever be the same
Or just sat in Paris
Slightly deranged

A rich man
Can't buy back his past
The London Albert Hall
With the beautiful cast

Oooohhh.... Wheres the money gone?
Oooohhh.... Wheres the loving gone?

And whats gone on
Well I wouldn't wish it upon anyone
And whats gone on
Well I wouldn't wish it upon anyone

Sebastian Melmoth
Wheres the picture
Its not decaying so
Instead you are

The importance of
Being Sebastian
Is the difference in
Being what you can

Oooohhh.... Wheres the money gone?
Oooohhh.... Wheres the loving gone?

And whats gone on
Well I wouldn't wish it upon anyone
And whats gone on
Well I wouldn't wish it upon anyone

You won't dream

New song finished, been trying this one for a while but could never get the transition from verse to chorus right. Its working now and i wrote the chorus riff just after recording the other parts, the riff pretty much makes the chorus, sounds 100 times better with it, thankfully. Songs about the media, the more i read the british press the more disturbed by it i am. Seems these utterly talentless people seem determined to make a name for themselves by criticising other people. Stephen Fry mentioned on room 101 what will happen when critics get to heaven and they get asked what they did with their life... 'well.. i looked at what other people we're doing and said that it doesn't really work'.

Say whats on your mind
I'll give you all of my time
Find a place where we can hide
I'm gonna show you englands shine

15 hoods just walked past me
Not for a second was it scary
They didn't even look at me
I did not feel worry

Never believe the media
Tabloid peadophilla
Journalists seeking gain
While money drives this sick game

How do they look in the mirror
How do they speak to their mother
They must all feel the same
Lets hope they burn in shame

(You might sleep, you won't dream)

I don't believe the media
Tabloid peadophilla
Journalists seeking gain
Narrating peoples pain

If you see one run away
Don't be the story today
Go on smash him in the face
Go on become one of the greats

Who refuse to accept their way
And let it become common place
Journalists inflicying pain
I hope they burn in shame

The shoulder

Hi. I haven't posted a new song for a while due to the quality just not being right. As you can tell from 'Bang bang', the quality was slipping and its times like that i need a break to look at what i'm trying to do. So heres the results of the break, i'm quite pleased with it as not only is it a nice enough song but i've pushed myself a bit more in terms of both writing and production. i hope you enjoy.

I'm tierd of too many tales of time
This tastes like poison not white wine
But it sure helps me with my rhymes
And christ i need some help some times
To speak what on my mind
My drunkness needs to be blind
Although it sounds like i'm a child
I've never been. never been a child

Your face ain't such a pretty sight
When you've just finished the fight
And i've got to carry you
On, my shoulders

When your heroes pass away
And you refuse to slightly sway
Cause theres noone else the same
You better start to count your days
Learn to think before you say
Its peoples live with which you play
A single word thats misplaced
And you're left in such a state

This world ain't such a pretty place
When you've got to carry the weight
Of it up on your
Shoulders

The shoulder
I'm crying into
Your shoulder

And lifes only gonna get faster
So live every day like your last one
And do all you can
And be all you can
And hope
And dream
Belive
And always get
High in your own way
High in your own way
High high high high high high high high high higher
