Throw off the weight of the world

And so the modern children
Know all the new street names
It’s sweet and candy coated
It looks different…

El Matador
I was born into a fire
Only days alive and swallowed whole
Tight in the grip of man
Cold and calloused hand
Side-step the blow
Joy is dissolution
Joy is dissolution…

I’ll go outside to the car again
And bring all the groceries in
Took too much for one man to take
In one trip and with only two…

We are much smarter than you ever give us credit for
The breadcrumbs in your pocket well I think you better hand…

Red Milk White Meat
Leaving the porch light on
Waiting up for someone or just afraid of the dark
The devil’s in the drive
Laughing and flashing his headlights
Cause he knows that…

Igloo
I’ll go out in the snow again
And I’ll carve it in and build myself a home
I dig it out and shape it in
With me within but I won’t stay too long
The air…

We Get Old
We used to go out in the snow
When we felt the urge to go
With every passing season we get old
The tricks we used to play
In the snow where I would lay
Made a promise…

I miss the smell of your hands
Your breath
The feel of your skin
We didn’t have to talk
Just understood
What the other was
We are of the same
But we knew
The end would come
Time is no friend
We are not healed
The pain is old
But feels new…
one of those 'it was written even before i started' songs that just rolls out like magic
i tried to keep it simple so as not to destroy the vibe
first finished (if unmixed) track for RPM 2010
this is one i have to stop tweaking - six versions and i still don't get what i hear in my head
would love some crit for this one as it's doing my head in
thanks
An older song that was originally inspired by Prefab Sprout's "Goodbye Lucille #1 (aka 'Johnny Johnny')" but has morphed into it's current state that's more influenced by Suicide and House of Love.
this was my last rpm song...i had a little mandolin riff and threw on the kazoo (which broke in the last verse), and it reminded me a happy bee buzzing around...and there you have it!
It enters us
Without us knowing
Not welcome
Uninvited
Go away
Leave me alone
Give me peace
Let me rest
Eat us from the inside
Bit by bit
Cell by cell
Multiplying
Taking over
Invaded
Go away
Leave me alone
Give me peace
Let…
In the moment
So alive
Taunting death
Every color sings
Every smell
Breathe deep
Open wide
All is new
Sounds inspire
Electric space
Shed the skin
Of the old
All is new
All is new
Take my hand
Run so fast
We’re alive
Taunting death
great guitar work..reminds me of Lindsay Buckingham meets John Martyn meets Nick Drake...also very smooth vocals...also like how the song morphs into something totally different as it progresses...
A song I've had stored in my head for quite awhile, though never committed to tape (erm... binary code) - probably because I thought it was a bit simple and even trite. Having to come up with an album's worth of material in a month cured me of…
Never, never again. How many times have we all uttered that statement the "morning after?" This song explores the regrets from the night before and blames it all on "devil drink cider called Johnny Jump Up".
Contrary to public opinion, the term "The Holy Ground" doesn't refer to the Emerald Isle. Nope. It's the name of a whore house that Irish sailors would visit. The Irish have quite a sense of humor...!
Straight ahead stone city electric blues for an old friend who used to spend hours spinning BB King and Mike Bloomfield records for me. Recorded back sometime at the end of 2006 on old analog equipment
