Song #2 for this year's RPM album....another one from the basement in the middle of the night. Experimenting with minimal lyrics and a lot of repetition. The song probably has something to do with how we left our home of many years last February…

trust is not a word that's known
so many days i've spent alone
the time i've spent on alibis
so cautious of anothers lies
this thing inside is sleeping
don't fear it brings us hope…
Composed entirely in ABC; I harmed no keyboards while making this album. Converted to MIDI and arranged in Reaper, mastered in mono on an iPhone 'cuz I seem to have forgotten how to in Reaper, damn it, and ran out of time.
When I was a boy, I would ring my nan on the telephone
Numbers in the holes
Spin it round then let it go
Nowadays..
I carry a phone in my pocket
Oh stop it!
Oh where will it end?
When I was a lad
Used a notepad when I wrote thank you…
One of the first songs I wrote for the album. The lyrics are stream of conscience that I don't think mean anything at all. I don't know, maybe they do.
It ends the album purely because the lyrics say "It's over..."
* Disclaimer: I understand…
The most non meta song on the record. This one is about a women I knew once. Sought the attention from everyone. Would burn you the moment you didn't agree with her. Her name happens to be Angie and really thought she was everyone's saviour…

Janette Salisbury vocals
we’re starving children, left alone
knocking on the door, but no one’s home
how many days have we been here
how any nights in the cold
praying that someone will answer
save our souls, save our souls…
rpm 2023
Janette Salisbury vocals
sometime, tomorrow
leaving, leaving, leaving
fleeing, your sorrow
it’s tainted my soul
and heaven help me now
make me clean somehow
sometime, tomorrow
leaving, leaving, leaving
fleeing, your sorrow…

Janette Salisbury vocals
taken none of my good years, darling
left me with more of the same
i will not ask you to give up nothing
there’s nothing left to explain
50 years and i’m dragging bottom
and live among the debris
whatever…
