Lyrics:
My favourite hotel is the back road of every dead end town at night
Beauty by the U.V
My favourite hotel is the back road of every dead end town at night
Oh the shame of us who walk the streets
Dancing through the lanes
Waltzing in the moonlight
Presented in everyone we meet
Every passed by we talk with.
Sat drinking in the sights of urban squalor
And sharing tales of poverty and abuse
A few laughs and a ruffle of the jacket
Fingerless gloves, shemagh pulled tight
Lighter passed between us
Puffs of smoke, crack and weed
Smack for some, e's for others
Acid or ket in the rest
Mostly drink and crack.
Everytime we whistle down the road
Admiring the glow of street lighting
Amber rivers in the gutter
Looking to the stars above
Drifter's thoughts of freedom
We're no different to them
Yet so different to them
We never stopped, we never quit
We didn't fight, we didn't steal
We took the drugs
But not the doorway
And through luck if nothing else
We found opportunities from nothing.
Intentionally homeless for five years
Roaming, wondering, working odd jobs
No buildings to stay in
Yet was I ever on the streets?
I seemed to walk through it all
Still thinking of freight trains and adventure
Of experiences and folly
Seeking other so called crazies
Just to tell tales with
Laugh, share a drink and a smoke
Then whistle off into the distance
The problem starts to come
When you've travelled around a bit
For a few years
And you keep seeing all the same faces
Older
In the same doorways
Older
Every time you pass a place you've known
And nothings changed
Only further degraded
And there aren't any new stories to tell
You'd heard
They'd heard them
When they were so much younger
And they've been stuck since
That's when you feel ashamed
For singing through the street at night
Or dancing in the moonlight
Some danced with me
With me
But usually?
I dance alone
It breaks my heart to think about
And even more to see
And every night I pray for them
Whether that means anything or not
It doesn't matter really
It's a privilege to feel such shame
It's an honour to have sung with them
It's a blessing they all smile whenever I pass
It was never a struggle for someone like me
Natural loner, drifter.. no deep trauma or disability
And no sense of familiarity in my surroundings
So I enjoy the life most wouldn't choose
And many would love to leave
Trying to remember at times
What it was these people lost

Lyrics:
Make the darkness conscious
And unite the opposites within yourself
So polarised as you are already
How could you mediate a peace?
Idealists murder what they can't understand
And in so doing, denounce their ideals
Creating a hell, resembling the current
resembling their imagined, or real foes
They fight religious wars under new names
Making progress towards their fantasy
By stepping on all who stand in the way
Whether they realise it or not..
And how is one side different to the other
Baying packs full of pride and arrogance
With little compassion for any who don't support their cause
Causes we all too often lose ourselves to
The cycle is tedious, the wheel keeps turning
The spokes were only changed
But still trampled are the masses, aeon by aeon
For the most part
By one another
In the name of distinctly human desires
Each proffered up from above
As commandments
Where your mountains are now steel towers
Thousands of glassy eyes
Which you can't see through from the outside
So make the darkness conscious
And unite those opposites within yourself
It's your only way you'll get inside
Maybe then you'll start to see the men for the war
The human for the beliefs
And the world for the life
The love for the lust
And the gold for the money
It really isn't so hard..
To just, not fight people for your differences
It just isn't
Don't destroy everything you come into contact with
The cycle won't stop...
And the bastards will rule
If like beasts
We tear at one another in their names
In place of our own
In place of all.
to walk a day in another mans boots is good
To walk a day in your enemies is better
To pass yours on them in kind
And to walk on the opposite side
You should walk a great many miles in their boots
Until they are as comfy as your own
Which could now just as easily be theirs.
You should try to retrace their steps
All the way back, long before you met
And take the same journey back to your self
Upon meeting again
Trade back your boots
Both well worn with a life's journey
Two histories, two presents, two futures
Two lives
Two paths
Do this with all you envy, all you hate
All you loathe, all you love
Until your feet are hurting and you are tired
Until the soles are split and thin
And you are left with no choice but to take their boots off
And they yours
Now in bare foot, walk..
In whichever way you please
Without fear of being stepped on
By what neither understood.

First upload in what should be an ongoing "series".. No particular tying thread, more of a "good habit" arrangement for myself.
Simply, these will all be tracks created over a two day period maximum... generally keeping to around 3 minutes (Well... doing my best to)
With simple song structures.
The main project will be ongoing, and as usual far longer, more drawn out and noisier without any tight structure to them.
This lot could be considered.. a little lighter.

Lyrics
Dust Collector
Unaccounted for shades of grey seem to keep on falling on me
Smothered in the blank retorts of paper cut outs
Why fight a lost war
If not merely in the name of one's own vanity
The drips and drabs, or bits and pieces
Barely smudged together
Somehow create an elaborate weave
An interlacing of feigned ignorance
All lit by gas and forever besieging
And yet through such
Is the love of man
In all it's joy, and all it's sorrows
In it's fear's and it's malice
It's insecurities, and arrogance
In our dying days, all will fight
For the little we lack
A web of repititious portrayals
And not one spider in sight
If only such a target
Not mere flies
Collecting dust
Stuck with I.
