If at a want for lyrics, why not start reading the labels of the objects around you... Thanks to Mike Brown for providing the slide parts.
Meet my old time friend
He is the seventh branded man
Jack x2
And back in Tennessee
He was the…
Second of two songs on the album about trying to be a better person. The first was about people not trying, this is about struggling (and kinda failing) to be a better person than you have been. Slide parts courtesy of Gary...
Don't think for…
This one is about how falling in love kind of involves giving up any say in whether or not your heart gets trampled. It's about that fear. Gary doing a sterling job as usual on lead guitar..
She's amazing
Beauty holds no bounds
and her voice…
Have no idea where this one came from. I was strumming away and the words just came out. Seems to be about some kind of wrongdoing in the past. May have been possessed. Thanks again to Gary for helping out on lead..
In sleepy towns through…
A folksy number inspired by the stories my nan told me many moons ago about her uncle Herbie..
Herein lies the story, of a man named Herbie Jones.
Not a million miles away from a man you might have known.
A miner in the twenties, blue scars…

Thanks to Mike Brown for lending a hand with the lead parts.. despite trying his damnedest not to! Also thanks for MMI for the advice which in part at least, I took!
I'm gonna call you dirty from now on in x2
I'm gonna call you dirty from…
Just a fragment.. but thought it was worth including..
If I were to lose you now
I don't know that I could cope
Please don't leave me now, don't go
You're my only hope.
Hey I like your album cover. The sticker design on the bottom right has a nice edgy design feel to it. It just pops. Nice work on the artwork and the music, well the music of course!
This provides a theory which ties together two of my key traits a) always tired b) terminally disappointed by peoples lack of courtesy - there's a link people!
Did you ever feel so down
That you didnt know up
Didnt recognise highs
And smiles…

Just letting out my frustration at 'people' in general again.. nice to be able to vent it in a more pleasant way (for those interested in how I used to do it, please see http://alonetone.com/boynamedsu) :)

this came on straight after savages eclipsed. really worked alongside it. i think there might be cause for a chillout playlist.. if there isnt one. really dreamy this.. like it alot. im still not sure what she'd do though.. cat woman, even after listening all the way through. ill let you know if i work it out..
I'm tired now, and I think I'll take a few days off from RPM. I need one more tune and that shouldn't be to tough to do.
Thanks everyone,
I'll be in touch soon.

Lyrics:
sorry for the silence
i'm not ignoring you.....
I…
oh yes yes yes.. this is incredible kavin. its got that voice you can trust thing to it like the American era Cash stuff. Makes you think.. this man knows.. this man's lived! brilliant, as is the playing, naturally. :)
Hey Kids, Happy RPM. Surf's up! I played this one for my lady, she said she wants to move to California. I'm not sure if that's because I've been wired up in the Dog House for 9 days or if she wishes to try some surfing. Go figure....
Anyway…
smoooooooooooov... really like this one. Its got the surfy thing, but its also quite creepy and dark sounding.. and also reminds me of t-rex.. nice one slick!! :)
By no means the first song that popped out. It's just the first one I'm calling done beyond a remix. I think this will wind up leading in to a metal tune and will likely be shorter.
Worked on this track for a *long* time. Learnt a lot but it's time to call it done and move on to something else. Am pretty happy with it all in all.
Sounds include samples of me clapping and the Snowdon steam train heavily processed with Ableton…
really like this one colin.. s'got a big wad of potential id say and i second kirks comment on the guitar work. could there be some backing vox sort of responding to the main lyrics in the second verse and maybe chorus? oh and id put glockenspiel chords all through it too - in answer to your request for suggestions! Good luck with the rest mucker
To everyone missing.

I found silver in your mouth
on a holiday
found stories in your eyes
beautiful as mould
6000 miles away
I finally recalled
the secrets on your skin
in scars and birthmarks
open wounds
secret stories of…
Rell Sunn, the Queen of Makaha, was a beautiful spirit and graceful surfer who lives in the hearts of all who knew her before she was called back home.
This is the first tune for my 2010 RPM Challenge.
A bit short...my first attempt earlier in the evening (completely different tune) I ended up scrapping at 1:30 a.m., so this one was done in just a few minutes...
Written and Recorded: Feb…
triple favourite!!! man i love this. reminds me of something. not sure what but its kick ass. RPM seems to be going really well for people this year.. not me yet unfortunately!! Good luck with the rest doug!
Lyrics:
I was walking down the street
Looking for a place to eat
When I saw a legless man praying for lost souls.
He had Electric Jesus on a tape recorder
And every time he played it the tape got shorter
Until all that was left was the…
Lyrics:
Later in the evening, and I heard sirens all around.
Then I get up this morning, Seabrook Plant had melted down.
I turned on my radio, they told me “this is not a test.”
“You’ll most likely be a mutant by the morning but we wish…

Were you one of the guys on top of the Apple Records building in 1970? ;-) Nice work!!!!
You have a serious gift for writing good lyrics! This is great!!
Was there a female vocalist in there? Give her more space. Otherwise I really enjoyed this. :)

kick ass dude!
How did you find out about me, man? :) Seriously, I dig this and can relate. And I agree, awesome songwriting!
Those vox are money, Alex. I love the gated sound - I want to do that. Great songwriting. Brilliant lyrics, just awesome, man!!!
