We Must Strive Or Die Trying It's Relieving To Wake Up Breathing Getting Through Is All There Is To Do Small Sacrifice, Not So Hard, Pretty Good Advice

Facts 02:51
lyrics

Seeping through the message A double meaning creeps Disguised secret agenda A patchwork of deceit Truth would be too simple And easy to avoid Pressed, he's agitated Visibly annoyed I need facts I hear lies This fake act Fails to surprise The truth will rise Built his fortress Of chicanery See his fractured deception Leaking out all the honesty...

DiscOh! 03:40
lyrics

I'm done trying to shout over top of the D.J. How can I make an instant connection with you You're a dance club goddess & I so want to get to know you But you've built a wall of disdain I can't push through Here I stand paralysed in your aura Can't you feel my desire Why do I agitate in your presence Why can't I be admired Alone at the DiscOh! again Am I trying too hard With your haughty disregard I can tell you're out of my league But you don't hide your lack of intrigue In my mind you think I'm the life of the party Falling into my arms at the hint of a smile So impossibly sophisticated I'm lying - it always transpires

Tomorrow 04:40
lyrics

Home again Another day Seems like they all blend into one Restless days bitterly grey Just hoping to see the sun You're going crazy here Is there an ending near Let this thing come to an end Have a good night You'll drink it alright Better times come tomorrow Looking back you're lacking hindsight Where we all look you will follow Nowhere else to go Here you are didn't get far It feels just like the last one Reluctant days passing away Life in a permanent haze It's getting harder to maintain An objective point of view Isolated in the prison of your mind Where conspiracy becomes the truth

Begin 03:08
lyrics

Plastic tables in an empty room Four bare walls and the concrete skies are crying Crying fir the memory of this pretty lie you're lying Lying on a bed of nails just to make you feel you're dying Dying, dying to begin again Wild heart in a rusty cage Poisoned words on a yellow page All the hurt from the love you made It all adds up top the price you've paid You're hiding inside Shutting it out Open spaces closing in on you Inside voices & they're telling you you're broken Unspoken pieces of a listless scene you're dreaming Believing that it's nothing more than you deserve, you're dying Dying, dying to begin again Then you go to a place where it's quiet And those prying hands can't reach you You're euphoric but you're in denial Nothing changes, all the while

Normal 02:34
lyrics
buy track
My life is ticking by so slowly Pause on remote control Got a degree in psychobabble & turned on a video There was nothing tempting me There was no one there for me Is everyone so strange Or is it really me Is there no one I can find To make love to my mind Someone who talks to me telepathically Rich ladies running red lights in their purple Mercedes Benz I was going to fly to Rio But I caught the plane instead Do you believe in synchronicity Are you the someone right for me Do you share my symmetry Can you free me from myself I could have been a plastic surgeon But they wouldn't get off my face I could have been aboard the Challenger But they didn't have the space They left me far behind One small step for mankind If only they had seen The dragon inside me I could have stolen the show They didn't want to know It's time for me to go I've got a lot to do Places I have to be Don't bother asking me... I am not prepared to share my intellect with you You shut me out & now I'm gonna watch you take a fall I can make it happen you just don't know who I am I'm tired of being normal when I don't know if i can

Monkey With A Gun 1 03:53
lyrics
buy track
Monkey with a gun Don't recognise the truth Don't understand yourself You're threateningly aloof A disaffected son Cauterised at youth Don't recognise the truth You pathetic little one You don't understand the things that make you hate You lash out when you're confused You bully just to hide the fact that you are scared Monkey with a gun You have nothing right to say Crack the timid with your boots Raised to fear the fist You don't know what you've missed Monkey with a gun You're living in denial Your reality is lies Your mantra is a weapon You use to terrorise What kind of monkey Breaks what he can't have Takes what he can't give Kills what he can't love A monkey with a gun A disaffected son A misdirected youth A monkey with a gun Don't point that thing at me

Better People 02:15

Stuck inside the bubble the anxiety is double First we got lazy now we're going stir crazy Waiting for infection it's a time for reflection What you gonna do when you get out of lockdown So many plans we've made How our lives we will upgrade The promise is to be Better People when we're free If we all can wait & carry on behind our gate If we all survive then we'll all live happy lives

Shut Down 07:55
lyrics
buy track
Sliding your finger down the length of the blade Is the way that you lived & now you need some first aid You combusted, you got busted, done & dusted Thought you were clever but your strategy's old Complacency choked you in a stranglehold You were cruising, got caught snoozing, would up losing From plain sailing, next you're bailing, systems failing Life's for the living so you lived it up large Never thought of tomorrow while you went on your charge You unloaded, then exploded, you corroded Making amends for the affects of your crime Is the only thing left now & it fills up your time Such a comedown, for your meltdown, you've been shut down

about

This album started out as a collaboration on 1 song 'Tomorrow' on 15th April 2020. After about 2 weeks we had an album.
All but 2/11 songs were completed during this time frame.
We'd written Normal sometime in the mid 1990s & Shut Down was from 2016.

We're still totally DIY digital & using Logic to record most stuff. Always learning as we go.
Definitely more reliable than the old Fostex 4 tracks we used back in the day...
