words and pictures

I'll be playing a solo show at the Fighting Cocks, Kingston - 17th Dec. I will attempt to play 2 new pieces (and 1 new cover) and mix up my set a little. So if you're free and interested do come down.

Words to the new pieces below -

(1) Trust -- a ballad(y) number. slow movements.
Strapping myself into seat-belts of your spaceship
you're making me sit around and drink hot pots
of black coffee that burn my lips
they're dry from kissing promises
Pushing the button to reset the universe
(yeah) it hurts
Walking on glass and talking out of your arse
who are you fooling
who are you schooling
Excuse me while ignore your advice
step into the fire and start waltzing
Are you too late or did you arrive just in time
to watch me burning
They said you can't fly but that's just a lie
to keep you from running and jumping
What is the shape of a heart about to break...
is that what we'd label as something?
maybe it's nothing but a song

(2) Special Forces -- a short loop-less number. cute.
You act tough
but take away your walls then what have you got? huh
A silly smile
a stupid child that's f***ed up
naked as the day that you were dropped off
come into the dark
i'll ask you...
[me]: How did it go?
then you'll say...
[you]: I wish that i knew, then i'd tell you
[me]: How will you know?
and you say...
[you]: I'll figure it out somehow
The black marks
show me where the punches ricocheted off
your winning smile
but now that's gone so tough luck
depending on your one-size-fits-all packed lunch
to get you off
then i'll ask you...
[me]: How did that go?
and you'll say...
[you]: I think that you know, now tell me how did you know?
and i'll say...
[me]: I figured it out somehow


Hopefully doing some vocals tomorrow. Once thats done... it'll be done*
