Great Expectations
My dear friend Lemond and I had a short writing session together a couple of days ago. Just 3 hours with a basic hook, stolen from Willie Wonka, Lemond laid it down on piano, one mic in a room, and lyrics made up on the fly.
I never work this way alone, as I don’t have [...]
Give Me Detumescence
Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Oh the swelling, this unbearable dwelling.
All these lights are an inferno, seering a path through my kernel.
This homunculus is under seige, from this petty need for speed.
Talk of conspiracy? Dismissed as heresy.
Give me, give me, give me detumescense.
Welcome relief from this ape and essence.
Of Man, the severed hand.
That divine amputation with all it’s grand hallucinations [...]

If This Is Civilisation
The snivelling remains of humanity,
Scooped up off the floor and served back to itself.
Masticated already in preparation,

Who Would Have Thought We Would Go to the Moon and Stop
Who would have thought we would go to the moon and stop? To harness the power of swoon and then drop, the reins as if failure were not a choice but preordained by an authoritative voice, who would have thought we would go to the moon and stop?

All Of Me
Forgive me not for the slightest humility. Question not my plight’s futility. You once handed me your heart, I just crushed it with a laugh. Treat me not as a gentleman, but like the savage that I am…and you’ll have all of me. Yes, I mean all of me. Well, what’s left of me, is [...]

No Tomorrow
So you say, there’s nothing here to live for. Everyday I long to hear my name called. Even though I prepare the ground for words to leave you, still they don’t tumble forth so freely.
