SEASONS (October 2022)

Seasons

It feels/(seems) the same
Like ur doing it Again 
Back to you in the breeze 
And the way the light looks on the trees 

The seasons all combine 
It makes us loose the time 


The seasons all Combine 
We loose track of our lives 
We’re cast into the skies 
It makes us find the time 
The colours always fade 
The changes take you awayyyyyy


(Dooo dooo dooo doooo ......)

HINDSIGHT Album (2021)

Don’t forget your shoes

it’s only ever as good as you remember it to be. the story goes round and round inside, growing gradually. it tortures you but at the exactly the same time, you can dream of it oh so very fondly. because it was.

in the darkness of the night you wonder if what you did was right. and all the signs saying otherwise seem to pop up all the time.

I always catch myself thinking how much better would that song be sounding if we, were on holidays. don't you think about the moments we are missing, it will go away.  

Irene, don't you forget ur shoes, coz they're nothing with out you, and all the awsome poses you do. So far away and you’re hating on my message as if to be an extension of my arms accross the ocean. Hawaii knows of our electricity, given the opportunity. Will that car seat always feel, empty. 

Still Deciding

Metaphorical crossroad. Where somebody failed to leave a sign. For the roads which follow. Somebody get em… get them good!  So here we stand. Some have maps for unchartered land. Do I turn round and round and round. Or simply lie on the ground  Then in the my mind a little man says. Onward not backward is the way. Then in the my mind a little man says. Onward not backward is the way

dooo, do do do do

Then in the my mind a little man says. Onward not backward is the way. Then in the my mind a little man says. Onward not backward is the way

Far Away

If that were me I’d do. The opposite of you. From here on the beach. We see. You’re paddling around aimlessly. 

So we’re going far away. You could call it a Holliday.  

How far do we. Need to go. And can I leave part of me. Because you never know. What are you thinking. They shout from the shore. Easy to criticise. When you see it all. 

So we’re stepping to the side. I hope it’s not suicide. We’re not going for the people. Or the scenery.

Because it’s a mystery how it changes. Shape as it drifts into the distance. When you’re standing up high. You can see the world is round

So we turn around and take a long look at our mistakes. Distracted while around us they reincarnate. I’d be here with the instigators of history’s outrages. Now offering their lives to a foreign aid organisation.

ooooh ooh oooh. Seems, seems, seems to change shape.

Hindsight

In our old age we’ll be happy. In our old age we’ll be happy.  

In my own way I was happy. In my own way I was honest. Mighta been ur imagination. Did you really keep that promise? 

 In my own way I was honest. In my own way I was honest. Were you really? 

No. I was not. Wish I had been. Next time I will be.

I was happy 

Now you will be. Now we will be. Will you really. Will we really?

Disguised

And I know that we are separate
And it's clear that we can't change that
When it's time we all distribute
And who knows whether my leave you

I know you hate my lies
Always in some disguise
Why won't you analyse 
Far from the perfect guy

So it is that you are done with me
And it's clear that we weren't meant to be
When it's time we all distribute
And who knows where this will leave you

I know you feel my eyes 
I know you Hate my lies 
Far from the perfect guy
Always in some disguise
I hope you know your place 
Our time was not a waste

Happily

And it felt like we were swimming in a whirl pool. Going round in smaller and smaller circles. All the people that you see every day. Don’t always know the right thing to say 

And the ones you answer to are going crazy. You slave away for them to call you lazy. And you’re tearing out your hair in agony. But things always seem to end. Happily

And there’s people that you’ve let slip away. And you wonder why don’t they answer your call. Coz there’s no reason for time alone at all. And there’s people that you’ve let slip away. Doesn’t mean they meant nothing anyway

And your family thinks you’re dordelling through your days. But you know how much they love you all the same. There’s a beauty in a different point of view. If you know how much to let it. Influence you.

Happily

FLYING%2BOVER4%2Bnw%252C%2Bless%2Bsat.jpg

Flying Over

Everything. All the things. Hear you crying. See you flying, over me.

(Whistling)

Quietly. Almost silently. Holding onto all the nicest things you've said to me. 

Discretely. Almost secretly. Holding onto the notion that you would come back to me.  

It was a mistake. I should have stayed. But I'm a criminal. Just a criminal. I'm an animal. We're all animals.

Fix%2Byour%2Bbrakes3.jpg

Fix Your Brakes

That was a strange way for you to behave. But it was not me. Better fix ur breaks Before u slide away. Don't take me with you. 

Away from here. Away from here my.. You will be better off without me.

Hey man she's right there, feathers in her hair. She's waiting by the gate. If you could really be, everything you seem. Maybe she'll want to stay. You always make me laugh, you speak straight to my heart. I was in the way. There's no way that was not, a sign from the universe to change those ways.  

Away from here. Away from here my lovely. You will be better off without me. Run from here until you can’t see. Until it’s just a memory. These feelings make us crazy. It’ll be best for you and me.

She saved him from, she saved him from, she saved him from, himself. It's time I found, it’s time I found, it’s time I found, myself.

There's no way that was not, a sign from the universe, to change those ways.

Sea of Dreams

We all knew the time would come. when life would take us and run. we got lost in the Sea of Dreams. out there wasn’t quite what it seemed

I wanted to freeze the time. while all our stars aligned. I wanted to freeze the time. before all the outside arrived

I owe my life to you. you did all you could ever do. don’t let the brightness fade. don’t throw the memories away.

Don’t let the brightness fade. don’t throw the memories away. we knew, we knew. 

I wanted to freeze the time. while all our stars aligned

Answer

Moving out onto the never ending blue, looking were we've been. all your motions, bring me notions, but never seem to pull us right in. you mean now our eyes can be open all the time to anything new? freedom where in the world you get to? i didn't know how to be with out you.

It's in my dreams, with me all my days, this freezing breeze, spirits us away. We're setting sail, from port amouri, as forgotten friends, we start our journey. 

We're setting sail, for another sea, not all is lost, when someone sets you free. you're in my dreams, with me all my days, now that we're free, we'll never make the same mistake.

It feels and sounds like you're riding on a cloud, and all you see is white. The mountains, the fountains, Bring us back to life.

We're setting sail, for another sea, not all is lost, when someone set you free.

we're setting sail, for another sea, not to worry now, the cool winds behind me.

Fluffy

Friend of ours, you will be remembered for your feline-ality. In your wake you leave an era made of wonderful memories. I remember the look in your eyes when you entered our family. still you were fearless in all that you found, as were tiger and soooooty

and I heard you purred, when you departed
we all watched your tail dissapear round the corner

i'm dying to meet you
i'm dying to meet you

is it the craziest thing to imagine we're all connected by him. or is he just the friend who can never tell us we're only annoying him. and I heard that you purred when you departed. and the sound continued, even after you'd gone to sleep

im dying to meet you,
im dying to meet you
I hope you know you'll always be, with me.

And I heard that you purred, when you departed. and the sound continues, even after you've gone to sleep

Rod Song

All your friends love when youre late. we could eat ice cream for days. we'd be wandering round and round our. paradise saying how we're found now.

Would it just be an endless beach. Everybody with 9 wives each. or after all that dreaming would we end up missing reality?

It's just the same as a house that's way too clean. or a body so perfect it's a machine. a get together where no body wants to be weird. things aren 't so amazing without their, blemishes. the unexpected changes in life's routine. or the scar from when you were seventeen. the dark side of paradise is that it's kind of boring   

kind of boring. kind of boring. kind of boooring. kind of boooooring

Crazy Life

Like ships on a desert. With no captain to be seen. It might rain. And take away everything. Don't take me for what I am. you'll find you've been mistaken. I still play those same old games

Ships on a desert. the people are no where to be seen. in my waking I can hear them. We're walking around. as if we've got no worries. in our waking hour we'll feel them

The shadows form raindrops. as they light the clouds. the lightning struck across the ridge and blew us down.

We're walking around as if we've got no worries. but even in this little place we'll find them. ships on a desert. the people are no where to be seen. in our waking hour we'll feel them

It's a crazy life. it's a crazy life, isn't it? It's just a crazy life. it's a crazy life, isn't it? Hey hey hey hey hey hey. I know you see that light. hey hey hey hey hey hey.

Deeper down we go. the world is all your thrown. I got everything 

It's a crazy life. it's a crazy life. It's just a crazy life. it's a crazy life, isn't it?

Wine and Dine

And me I'll follow in you. to a time when our lives want to follow to. it seems to me we're always upside down. but if we run away, far away, we're falling to the ground

but of course I didn't say that. no of course I didn't say that. just would have been really good if I had. but i never would have thought of that

there's a very fine line between mean and funny. there's a very fine line between sad and happy. when you're talking back to me I can see you're struggling. there's a very fine line between holy and crazy.

I'll do what you need me to do. take the time to unwind the mystery of you. it seems these things don't stop the world from turning round. so, runaway, find ur way, closer to the ground

but of course I didn't say that. no of course I didn't say that. just would have been really good if I had. if only i had of thought of that

there's a very fineZ line between mean and funny. there's a very fine ine between sad and happy. when you're talking back to me I can see you're struggling. there's a very fine line between holy and crazy

Queen of Cute

When your sliding around with your bottom in the air your a baby. but when you're feeling angry and you send me a glare you scare the hell outta me. putting mud on your ass or trying not to laugh at the concertine. when its just you and me in the endless sea i feel amaaaazing  

When ur running around with a spider in ur hair ur a baaabby. but when you see straight through me and I have to agree you scare the hell outta me. Putting snow on ur face or having a race to the anything. When it's just you and I and the open sky I feel amazing

its obvious. gotta find a way. and it's obvious. there's no other way

when it's just you and me. and the endless sea. I feel amazing

Hi How Are You

Hi how are you are you good? 
I don’t know am I good? I don’t know
Hi how are you are you good? 
I don’t know am I good? 

Hi how are you are you good? 
I don’t know am I good? I don’t know
Hi how are you are you good? 
I don’t know am I good?

Our head our in the skies, not disguised
That’s where they ought to be
Can we set out on a journey? To infinity 
It will be fun. 
Because I don’t know how I am

I am feeling our flight to the light 
It’s inevitable 
We are but the same in this game 
Atleast we’re similar 
Can they see us in our glory
With our stories? 
Are we invisible? 
Are you feeling our flight to the light? 
Or are we apart?
