Misery One 03:07
lyrics

Look out children here she comes Hot and dangerous like a loaded gun Mean and crazy Full of grief Before you know it you’re down on your knees You got misery Misery   Then you can`t find no way to turn But the only consolation Is we all gotta learn About misery Misery   Listen to me brother   When I was a young boy Fancy free Nothing ever seemed to bother me I made the money I towed the line She makes me feel like I’ve committed the crime   Misery yeah Misery talk about Misery yeah No no no no no no no   Listen to me brother   We've all seen what monkeys do Don't let that woman make a monkey out of you Play it cool Nice and slow Let the love that you have for Sonny grow and grow Believe in me brother she can't take your love away Because one day you'll be united anyway   Misery Misery Misery

The Lady's Not Returning 03:19
lyrics

Maggie one day when you're all alone Lying in your grave May the good Lord have the sense to see There’s nothing there to save No nothing there to save   Well I was just a working man Bringing home the bread You stole my life and family Then you left me there for dead Yes you left me there for dead   Maggie I hope you die alone Maggie I hope you turn to stone And I know I’m not alone   18 years of work and pain Buried in the mud Yes you made my life a misery You all but drank my blood Yes you all but drank my blood   When I was working underground Digging in the dirt You stole my pride and dignity Then you came back for my shirt Yes you came back for my shirt   Maggie I hope you die alone Maggie I hope you turn to stone And I’m not the only one   Maggie I hope you die alone Maggie I hope you turn to stone I`ll be happy when you’re gone Through a party on your tomb Let the reaper man rock on Hungry hellhounds cry and moan Hope those wild dogs find your bones May they rot till kingdom come

Baby Blue 04:15
lyrics

Blue Baby blue Every time I see you smile It always makes me feel brand new   Do, what can I do? If I could take your pain away Then I would give myself to you   I guess you know I’m just a simple man Between a hard place and a stone I try my best so I can understand I would never leave you standing there alone   Blue Baby blue When I look into yours eyes You are me and I am you   Me a helpless fool Watch the jester turning cartwheels As the queen prepares the stew   I know your clouds are all black today There’s no horizon for your sun But the road that lies before you Winds and twists that way Believe me when I say You have only just begun   Hey little girl You've been running around And your heads in a whirl ‘cos your world's spinning round Open your mind Give it time you've got time It won’t be long before The star you are begins to shine    Stand up and look around There’s a blue sky over yonder And there’s gold there to be found   Storm clouds black day See that rainbow in the distance Gonna take that rain away   I know your clouds are all black today There’s no horizon for your sun There’s a road that lies before you And you’re on your way Believe me when I say You have only just begun   Blue Baby blue I’m always thinking of you No matter where you are You're still my superstar   Blue Baby blue I’m always thinking of you If you should ever roam You'll never be alone   Blue Baby blue I’m always thinking of you

The River 05:14
lyrics

Like a river running Wild and free Restless traveller Endless stream Passing the seasons They come and they go When we open our minds Well the river will flow   Let the river flow And you will see Let the river flow And you'll be free   Dance like a leaf on the rapids Then float up stream Then you can feel your emotions Running through your veins like pure adrenaline   Life like a river Twists and it turns Nobody knows Where it`s all gonna end Watch the raindrops fall down Holes in the sky And we'll all kneel and pray When the river runs dry   Let the river flow And you will see Let the river flow And set me free   Let the river flow Let the river flow

Digital World 04:28
lyrics

Was it that long ago? Feels like yesterday How did I sleep so long? Time just slipped away And now I’m lying here Inside this binary world Another zero Not the one you waited for   I’m lost in this digital world Outcast in this digital world Too fast in this digital world Won’t last in this digital world   I could go out today Or I may stay in bed This freaky pop tune from the sixtys Runs around inside my head But this damn radio Won’t be around for long My bedside DJ He won’t play my favourite songs   Woke in a haze Dreaming in analogue waves This morning’s wireless show Don’t turn me on Won’t take me where I want to go   Cellular phones Digital tones Albums on an iPod Crystal displays Winking their eyes at me   Where did those summers go? Those cats they sure could play Check out the guru with the sitar On the road to old Bombay Or was I dreaming then And are we dreaming now I only know that when I dream I dream that way   No joy in a digital world Oh boy in a digital world We'll fry in a digital world We’re gonna die in this digital world Been raised in a digital world Erased in this digital world   Digital world Digital world   There was a picture In the attic No eyes had ever seen And the artist was afflicted By a vision and a dream I couldn't copy to a clipboard Or paste it here to show Because he just can't cut it In this digital world   Digital world Digital world

Celebrate 03:59
lyrics
buy track
Took a walk down Stoney Lane last night Nothing left in this old town Wearmouth colliery’s a stadium Yeah they pulled the Fulwell down   Seagulls dancing on a shipyard wall One for each departed coal Been around the world and back again Via St. George and Van der pol   Look at the low clouds Heavy again Traffic lights bleed in the morning rain Sepia papers Yesterday’s news Blown by the wind down these avenues These sensations welcome me back home   Celebrate me home Celebrate me home I`ve been away for far too long Almost forgot where I come from So please celebrate me home   Look at the low clouds Heavy and grey Show me those streets where as children we play Wind from the ocean caressing my face Same cold sensations finding their place Old emotions welcome me back home   Barbury coast don’t look the same no more Can`t believe how fast things change They built those ships for the stormy sea Never to return again   Celebrate me home Celebrate me home I`ve been away for far too long Almost forgot where I belong So please celebrate me home   Celebrate Celebrate Celebrate me home It's been a while since I’ve been gone Been on this road for far too long So please celebrate me home   Celebrate me home Celebrate me home I was alone in Babylon Almost became a corporate clone So please celebrate me home

Addicted 04:17
lyrics

Cold sweat Like ice Flesh crawling Like a parasite And I feel that presence Invading me Oh God I know I`m addicted   Can`t think Can`t sleep I can`t stop jumping In too deep And I feel so shaky now Dead on my feet Oh God I know I`m addicted   I’m a victim And I can't give it up I’m here at the bottom Because I fell from the top I’m so dependent It drives me insane I just need a little something here To help me ease this pain   Obsessed I’m sold And when I’m All alone I sense that presence Inviting me Well I’m not that strong And I know that it's wrong But I can't go on I’m addicted   I’m addicted I’m addicted

By The Grace Of God 04:45
lyrics

But by the grace of God That could've been you Wandering round in the Same pair of worn out shoes You could be sleeping downtown Under yesterday’s news An empty shell with nothing left to lose I'd like to know how you sleep When the moon shines so bright Does that shadow of guilt Sidle up by your side in the night Do you pull up your quilt And pretend that your world's clean and white? Phone your broker and tell him The last man should turn out the light   La dolce vita high on the hill Surveillance cameras Security grills Living a charmed life With the money you made Wiping your blood stained hands To applaud this masquerade   I want to know How you live with yourself Every deal that you break Only adds to your wealth But you sit on your arse Selling burgers and fries While the children you feed Curl their toes up and die   La dolce vita high on the hill Who did you stand on? Who did you kill? Living a charmed life With the money you made Wiping your blood stained hands To applaud this masquerade   La dolce vita La dolce vita

Freedom 03:39
lyrics

Sell me water Then let the rain Flow down the drain To wash those broken lies away   Light the fire Create the spark Fresh from the dark And show the blind another way I’m a prisoner And I’ve got to get away   Give me freedom Give me freedom Give me freedom Because you're driving me insane Give me freedom And you're living in my brain   And when I’m locked inside This little box well I’m Lost in a dream my friend Like a machine again And I just can't decide Which powder I should buy They told me that My thoughts were grey And I should let them Wash my brain again   Give me freedom   They got me running like a mouse on wheel Don't know where I’m going Don't know what to feel  A psychographic on an office chart Just line of data Cookie in a cart   Give me freedom ‘cos you're driving me insane   Moving like a spider on a landing page Falling through a trap door To another cage  Click rate click rate Like I’m in a dickrace Business to business B2C  Backbone bandwidth Dark site clickstream Every sucker's living in a smokescreen Just let me pull the trigger We can blow these cats away Give me freedom ‘cos I got to get away Slogans straplines Losers making headlines A little dab'll do you That's all you ever need Buy me tell me Everything you sell me Pocket full of money Fortune guaranteed Migraine brain drain People playing mind games A little yellow idol Born in Xanadu If they could elevate that mother They would paint it on the moon Give me freedom   Give me freedom ‘cos I got just what I need   Billboards inserts People wearing white shirts Every mother's nightmare Playing in a field Logos quangos Everybody here knows Making it faking it B2C Greenback white lines Momentary flat lines A quicker picker upper That's all you ever need City bankers talking like When they swing from a branch In the money tree Sweet little teaser Showing me her visa Trying it buying it Swallowing their spiel   I’ve got just what I need I’ve got just what I need I’ve got just what I need Give me freedom I’ve got just what I need

Misery Two 03:30
lyrics
buy track
I don`t know why you`re so unhappy Is it because of me? Why do you make me feel so guilty? You got my sympathy   Why can`t we live the way we used to? When we were so care free You know sometimes I think I’m crazy Am I the cause the cause of your misery?   I still remember times of laughter The way we used to be Now I feel like your disaster And you're accusing me   Why can't we end this controversy? Agree to disagree And now my friend you've got me thinking Am I the cause the cause of your misery?   Now every time I try and talk to you It just ends up in tears The love we shared has gone I don't know what to do We live in constant fear Could we have wasted all these years?   So tell me why I’m so unhappy Is it because of you? And why the hell do I feel guilty? I’m feeling like a fool   I don't know if I’m going crazy I’ve done all I can do Now in my mind I’m thinking maybe You're the cause You're the cause You're the cause The cause of my misery   Cause of my misery

Beautiful World 05:02
lyrics

Well you say that time is a healer God I hope that you’re not wrong ‘cos there’s so many people Been waiting for far too long Blind eyed or ignorant Check out the sun today Rip out the centre pages Roll ‘em up then throw them away   Look at this beautiful world Yes it's a beautiful world We’ve got a beautiful world Why do we treat it this way? Look at this beautiful world Yes it's a beautiful world We’ve got a beautiful world Why can`t we keep it this way?   Been thinking about the ocean And the shit that's in the sea Been thinking about what’s going to be left For you and me  When the valley turns to desert And your monkey's got no tree And you can’t spend the buck you made You've got to save it for gasoline   Yes this is magnificent So do what you do And appreciate Just what's been given too you You can take it for granted Or exploit it any way But what you see here before you May not be here another day   We should learn to take it easy We should learn how to live There's enough for everybody There's enough for us to give   We had time to think it over Time enough to change it all You know it's not cool To act like a fool And piss like a dog on it all   Look at this beautiful world ‘cos it's a beautiful world Beautiful world Beautiful world   Screw it up screw it up Don't don't screw it up Screw it up screw it up Don't don't screw it up   'ere Hang on a minute Am I the only fucker left?

about

We are a non-profit making music collective. You
can help change that by buying our songs
-
We aim to appeal to people who avoid TV 'talent'
shows at all costs, who are bored senseless by
the wailing diva and who have had a belly full
of the endless procession of re-masters, cover
versions and 'best of' compilations
-
We don't crave publicity. We would rather do
something than be someone. If you have any
interest in us at all we want it to be because of
the music we produce not because we scrub up
well after a session in Photoshop
-
We do not endorse the wearing of sunglasses
indoors unless under medical advisement, during
a period of bereavement or as a strategy to
reduce observable tells when playing poker
-
We would rather have a modest income and
work with a relatively low profile and deal only
with people that we love and trust than make an
enormous amount of money and have to deal
with scumbags everyday (Thanks for that one Steve)
-
We enjoy a slice of cake or a chocolate biscuit
