Degenerative Eloquence
Memories maligned redesigned in the monastery
Medical melancholy mars me metabolically
Negative energy niggles nerves perturbs pleasantry
Words are worthy weaponry certainly hurting heavily
Averting the emerging urge to revert to recipes
Of deliciously delectable disaster definitely
Sceptically scrawl withdrawal chapters desperately
Stamp standards with an emphatic empathy
Telepathic waves triggered by generic jealousy
L.S.D list celebrities wriggle restlessly
Feral felons sell threats with sincerity
Twisted melons Monday morning just Ben and me
Enemies of the straight and narrow from necessity
Bless a beat add gin jelly to the recipe
Messy 3 day dream state essentially
Clean slate claimed each day we make melodies
Clean slate claimed each day we make melodies
Clean slate claimed each day we make melodies
Clean slate claimed each day we make melodies
Clean slate claimed each day we make melodies
Spot the difference between refinement and luxury
Suddenly some of these cumbersome culinary
Accomplishments callously cash in on customary
Gossip I know coffees really not your cup of tea
But stop mugging me off talk curmudgeonly
Summoning subs discouraging drudgery
Love is free but the drugs ain’t buddy b
Brotherly hugs seem to be stuck in recovery
Currently cumbersome with contemptible currency
Clumsily consolidating sums of redundancy
Flat 61 bruv buzzer 3 come at me
Monetary misgivings linked in with lung disease
Some concede to cancer to some degree
Defiant in the face of death breathless huskily
Hacking out a last laugh grudgingly
Budgetary constraints remain for custody’s cover fees
Clean slate claimed each day we make melodies
Clean slate claimed each day we make melodies
Clean slate claimed each day we make melodies
Clean slate claimed each day we make melodies

He's Behind You
Direct access with the correct tactics
Practice tricks craft scratch Vellum tablets
Imprint stamped on the cerebellum absence
Of clear paths shift standard branding
Repping Zeppelin with an effervescent anger
Learn a lesson later when your name ain’t on the advert Chancer aye I know it’s just a bit of banter
Raise tankards like they’re laminated lanterns
Hand craft hymns with candid companions
Spring breaks late generate strange anthems
SAMA lama ding dong sing song standards
Exceed expectations abandoned
Side step sadness then pen mantras
Progress’ essence is expressed in the stanzas
Stand tall so showmanship is never absent
Make days better than the dream ever imagined
Don’t bother to talk to me
If all you’ve got is this hypocrisy
Awkward words make a mockery
You woke up broke it was all a dream
Just who do you think you are?
In your room with an air guitar
The latest hair doesn’t raise the bar
It takes a little more mate to make a star
If I don’t cry you might make me laugh
Cracker joke toy and crepe paper hat
May state on tape that it tastes so bland
Add Salt to the wound of unsavoury staff
Oh I know how you hate to brag
Slag us off if you want when I’m paid to rap
Raid the bank see red when you raise a rag
To a bull shitter bitter if they slate the band
A+R’s say play the game in hand
And the latest chance taken to delay the track
Hate to say it mate you can create a brand
But if the tunes are no good there won’t be great demand
Favourable tax bracket but they claim it back
Infiltrate the industry while my mates attack
Raise a flag in petroleum and blaze the flat
Take a match to the past flames change to ash
Don’t bother to talk to me
If all you’ve got is this hypocrisy
Awkward words make a mockery
You woke up broke it was all a dream
Just who do you think you are?
In your room with an air guitar
The latest hair doesn’t raise the bar
It takes a little more mate to make a star
We’re just trying to have some fun
Shine a light in the absence of sun
You might have missed the point of the pun
And avoided some poised for the boys to run
Their yaps behind our backs
Tongue in cheek well it’s a wind up chaps
Laugh at the suits and you hate the raps
Face the basic facts we’re on a daily graft

Won't Go Away
To tell the truth I’m heavily stressed
And it’s definitely affecting my energy levels
Don’t help and neither does bev
Alleviates the pressure for an evening at best
Then it’s back with a vengeance whoever could guess?
Façade jovial but nevertheless
I can’t cope and folk are pressing my head
Leave me alone a moment bro I’m home and dreaming of death
In waking moments it doesn’t leave me unless
I’m distracted by a damsel in a state of undress
Or regulating weight mainly breaking a sweat
Making amends with mental health is hard as hell to detect
If there was a God I’d pray he gave me the strength
To solve absolve extraneous stress
Lesson learned? Yes maybe it made me a mess
Defects blatantly displayed in the text
A-Z of medication mate I’m taking the steps
So please refrain I’m feeling strange strained in the head
No matter what I do today
This feeling won't go away
There is nothing you can do or say
This feeling won't go away
No matter what I do today
This feeling won't go away
There is nothing you can do or say
This feeling won't go away
Well friend let me guess
You got drunk messed up your head
Up to those old tricks again
Pretty much every weekend
Hell bent on a selfish spend
Oh please don’t take offence
Now hang on a second man
Hold off on the epitaph
Your life’s not quite that bad
Just going through a nasty patch
Hangover’s not a handicap
Brittle like a brandy snap
Have a dram in the aftermath
Act daft with the alley cats
Well It’s not quite as simple as that
There's a multitude of things I think are holding me back
If you drink for days
It won’t take these things away
No matter what I do today
This feeling won't go away
There is nothing you can do or say
This feeling won't go away
No matter what I do today
This feeling won't go away
There is nothing you can do or say
This feeling won't go

Rodeo Railroad
Picked up my payload making my way home
Work was the worst I can’t say the days flown
Dave phone’s from the bar stool staple
Persuasion Intoxicating re appraisal
Meeting a mate for one ever fateful
I was meant to be tomorrow it can wait 'til
Gladly led astray again Disgraceful
Grateful in the Inn again imminently unable
Difficult day though
Drinks on the way home
O.k. if you say so
You know I can’t say no
Rodeo rail road
Is going nowhere
Change jingles lingers on the tables
The Juke box yawns and longs for song’s saviour
Music infuses lucidly through the label
Bottle cap twist turn this into a game show
A parallel world of paralytic fables
Too late to turn back today and lay low
Follow the faithful sorrowful saviour
Surrender your soul and let the flow take hold
Difficult day though
Drinks on the way home
O.k. if you say so
You know I can’t say no
Rodeo rail road
Is going nowhere slow
Difficult day though
Drinks on the way home
O.k. if you say so
You know I can’t say no
Rodeo rail road
Is going nowhere
Lift spirits that ritually raise hopes
Spill my guts in front of a bunch of strangers
Apologies keep forgetting your name bro
Spoke to an angel smoke ring for a halo
Meeting my maker under that table
Over a rainbow we’re open all day though
Drinking 'til day broke more of the same old
Crave the taste to the grave from the cradle
Difficult day though
Drinks on the way home
O.k. if you say so
You know I can’t say no
Rodeo rail road
Is going nowhere slow
Difficult day though
Drinks on the way home
O.k. if you say so
You know I can’t say no
Rodeo rail road
Is going nowhere

Captain Chaos
Here’s a story about a guy who’s quite defiant
Zany dress sense and mane like a lion
Unpredictability the kind you can rely on
Captain Chaos take odds against Goliath
He’s been like this since back in the day
Tied a microwave to a Megane Coupe
Doesn’t play by the rules the ones you say
Don’t touch that dude it'll break too late
There’s no need to be so cray we’ll all like you anyway
Take a gamble and roll the dice
Bet the legend isn't overhyped
I have a feeling he’ll offend your wife
There's no need to be so uptight
Revs his engine at the traffic lights
Full speed ahead around the bend of life
Looking for love in all the wrong places
Captain Chaos he’s so outrageous
Heart of fool’s gold totally fixated
With copulation we’ve got a situation
Awkward escapades accelerating
Chasing skirt in a vertical take off
Disappears into the night never says when
Tucked up snug or on it ‘til the am?
Take a gamble and roll the dice
Bet the legend isn't overhyped
I have a feeling he’ll offend your wife
There's no need to be so uptight
Revs his engine at the traffic lights
Full speed ahead around the bend of life
Drives too fast to take in the sights
He'd write off a car like you'd ride a bike
Embraces risk deliberately daring
Raring to go into scary situations
Haywire hairdo precariously waving
Raise the stakes in the poker game win
Going all in throttle full bottle blamed
Out on the blaze watch him burst into flames
Take a gamble and roll the dice
Bet the legend isn't overhyped
I have a feeling he’ll offend your wife
There's no need to be so uptight
Revs his engine at the traffic lights
Full speed ahead around the bend of life
Whoa oh he's Captain Chaos

Dolphin Puncher
I know a man and he gets quite mad at the
Little tasks that life likes to ask of him
Solves every small problem with a tall gin
Stress levels are high his hairs malting
He goes off on one every so often
Inner anger the overriding problem
Don’t mock him or even bother talking
He’ll knock your fockin' block in it’s shocking
I can feel his resolve dissolving
Blood bubbling up like a cauldron
Your mouth’s moving I can see your talking
I can’t hear you the red mist’s falling
Involuntary twitches it’s appalling
They’re all lolling at my downfall I saw them
Howling like a hound dog in the doldrums
So mad he could punch a dolphin
You see it’s just as easy as that
For this cat to call bull and just lose the rag
He’s pure raging we don’t know why
I would ask him the snag is I don’t want to die
He’s got his own supply of aggro
Put your left arm in the wrong right angle
He'll pull your night to a standstill hands are anvils
What you doing with that man? Chill
I can feel it it’s getting heated
And what started as a little disagreement
Has then proceeded to release his inner demons
I’m in fear of what we’re dealing with this evening
I see him seething ears are steaming
Unleashing anger with no rhyme or reason
Starts shouting chest beating balling
So mad he could punch a dolphin
The sort of chap who kicks off at shows
Cos some drunk spilled a bit of booze on his toes
The sort of chap who kicks off at shows
Cos some drunk spilled a bit of booze on his toes
The sort of chap who kicks off at shows
Cos some drunk spilled a bit of
Ruined shoes put the dude in hospital
Overdose of testosterone and rock n roll
In the mosh pit all alone
He’s never seen authority as an obstacle
First name terms with the constables
And after a few he won’t be held responsible
I can feel it it’s getting heated
And what started as a little disagreement
Has then proceeded to release his inner demons
I’m in fear of what we’re dealing with this evening
I see him seething ears are steaming
Unleashing anger with no rhyme or reason
Starts shouting chest beating balling
So mad he could punch a dolphin

Did It Matter?

Did It Matter?
I know you're not the type to admit your mistakes
Like that little fib you hid for the sake of debate
I over stepped the mark It was plain for all to see
Didn't sign up for a seminar on stoned philosophy
Got me so angry I couldn't think straight
Had to take a walk away to alleviate the hate
You do my head in we're supposed to be mates
Don't bend the bough and then just hope it won't break
It didn’t matter then so it sure doesn’t matter now
You said what you said my friend so that’s how it’s going down
It didn’t matter then so it sure doesn’t matter now
You said what you meant my friend so that’s how it’s going to sound
I've got no shortage of deplorable traits
Try to laugh it off while you play this masquerade
Last night was a catastrophe a catalogue of mistakes
Don't bother getting back to me I've planned my last escape
That's not a side of me I want you to see
I swear to Christ my friend it's not psychopathy
Don't act like it's my fault that you're not where you want to be
But I doubt it's important now let's be honest please
It didn’t matter then so it sure doesn’t matter now
You said what you said my friend so that’s how it’s going down
It didn’t matter then so it sure doesn’t matter now
You said what you meant my friend so that’s how it’s going to sound
I lost the plot with you it wasn't deserved
You touched a nerve you knew would purposely hurt
Tried to apologise but it just didn't work
I saw a side I didn't like inside that smirk
Spur of the moment snap decision incurred
Divert attention then you put yourself first
Do not disturb I'd prefer if you weren't
Please leave me be but also leave the dessert
It didn’t matter then so it sure doesn’t matter now
You said what you said my friend so that’s how it’s going down
It didn’t matter then so it sure doesn’t matter now
You said what you meant my friend so that’s how it’s going to sound
It didn’t matter then
It didn’t matter then so it sure doesn’t matter now

Alone To The Metronome

Alone to the Metronome
Leisure lengthens dependent on the mental process
Make it work in both senses extend emotions
All consuming movement and the measured poems
Ever growing from the pressure of professional focus
Let you know it’s extra special when the petal’s broken
'Til my body decomposes in a bed of roses
Compost draped on long lost darlings
Dead relatives the predicate for carnage
Said fellowships imperative to harness
A sense of togetherness the devil in the darkness
Revel in malevolence and denigrate narcissistic
Parchments starched stiff with varnish
Thick heritage parch thirst lethargic
Departure lounge dropouts urgently barging
Layabouts found disturbed in the garden
Suburban subversion assertively hardens
So pleased to meet you
Now you seem so see through
Alone in the deep blue
The joke is on me too
So pleased to meet you
Now you seem so see through
Alone in the deep blue
The joke is on me too
Both had our fair share of death and upset
Respect that death is such a touchy subject
Object and I’ll just stop boss nuff said
Focus on the positive on the road to success
Coping with stress isn’t hope for the best
It’s about approaching folk with an open confession
Spread love and end up in a lesson
Not sure if it’s learning or teaching I’m guessing
It’s both approaching ostensible self-expression
No more or less adept to answer life’s questions
I’ve learned to stop oppressing invention
Compassion fruit salad and a dash of dressing
It’s ever so refreshing every episode
Cliff-hanger’s they keep me guessing never let it go
Heart beat speaks alone to the metronome
Heart beat sent home to the metronome
So pleased to meet you
Now you seem so see through
Alone in the deep blue
The joke is on me too
So pleased to meet you
Now you seem so see through
Alone in the deep blue
The joke is on me too
You and I unified by the music
Like it’s supposed to be both emotionally and moving
To grow and breathe absorb and sow seeds
Of creativity I hold my yield and feel it vividly
The soothing song of simple serendipity
We move along with resonant relativity
Dispelling myths and relishing in the mystery
You’ll never know so maybe let it go to history
Live within a milli-second thrilled by every breath you breathe
Let’s achieve togetherness and relish recipes
Remedy repercussions simulating synergy
Invigorating rhythm with innovative similes
Intimate exchanges of lyrical delivery
Mirroring the pages with symbiotic symmetry
Critical complicity reeks of inconsistency
Principally imprinted with convincing authenticity
So pleased to meet you
Now you seem so see through
Alone in the deep blue
The joke is on me too
So pleased to meet you
Now you seem so see through
Alone in the deep blue
The joke is on me too

The Slouch
What’s the fascination with procrastination?
What’s the fascination with procrastination?
What’s the fascination with procrastination?
Slouched like a grouch on the couch in the basement
What’s the fascination with procrastination?
Ammo casing filled with angry accusations
Mate, you need to get yourself out of the house
And get dowsed in some sunshine I shout
I’m met with a trout pout scabby dowt hanging out
Under each bloodshot eye hangs a black pouch
Look inside see a big man crouch
So much capability but even more doubt
Smoking soap immune system’s out for the count
Mount Everest Edmund Hilary’s capillaries
Rabid inhabitants of dilapidated labyrinths
Lavish in inaccurate facts from fractured cabinets
The being demonstrating making greatest hits
We may not have long on this earth so best savour it
Like an old lover’s fragrance it makes sense
Carpe diem may make my life mayhem
Stems for the trees seized in my play pen
Pour my heart out say when now amen
What’s the fascination with procrastination?
Slouched like a grouch on the couch in the basement
What’s the fascination with procrastination?
My life feels like a stop motion animation
What’s the fascination with procrastination?
Slouched like a grouch on the couch in the basement
What’s the fascination with procrastination?
Ammo casing filled with angry accusations
I’m largely in agreement with my inner demons
Overdoing it Friday evening can deprive you of entire weekends
See it seeping through the Monday of a tired remit
Bewildered Wednesday from hedonism on the 7th day
Rest assured I’ve toured my resume
And let negativity really resonate
This guessing game compresses rage into my weathered face
Phone calls from mates stuck selling eighths
Chipping away as sanity slowly desiccates
Crumbled conscience unresponsive to the renegades
Never played out the way the song sheet showed
Shame I was renovating regulations centre stage
Raise the steaks and temperature in centigrade
Until those ice maidens melt away
I felt the feint onset of guilt and then it gained
Momentum until my left side went numb
What’s the fascination with procrastination?
Slouched like a grouch on the couch in the basement
What’s the fascination with procrastination?
My life feels like a stop motion animation
What’s the fascination with procrastination?
Slouched like a grouch on the couch in the basement
What’s the fascination with procrastination?
Ammo casing filled with angry accusations

Can't Go On Like This
03:42
|

Can't go on like this
Pacify the preacher with a long response
Bastardise asinine lies cheapest shot
Jugular Jibes bite like creeping frost
Knee deep dealing in conceited thoughts
Heat treated wreaths cheat a recent loss
I really want to dig deep and just reach what
We each want so no need to see-saw
You say I don't get it complete the speech
Until I breathe deep feeling a unique defeat
Niche carved scarred arms heal then weep
Weak from no sleep been at least a week
Each cheek streaked steeped in mystique
Track the tragic past of an addict bleak
In the cheap seats she speaks history
Teaches each seed to repeat the deed
Bleached from the memory of every deceit
I just wish I knew what it is you want
Can't go on like this just needs to stop
And even though we don't really talk
It seems that you can still read my thoughts
Secrets that she has to keep
At capacity needs asked to leave
Contact cut is how it has to be
Apparently erratic and raggedy
A leap of no faith hope charity
Charred charm harmful family
Abandoned black eye branding
Candidly examining famine
Handprint on a fallen champion
Frantic grasping at past action
It all comes down to understanding
You can't win with this companion
Damage done damned by the phantom
I'm done I have none left last one
Succumb to fast fun bath scum
Force felt fell to the floor back up
I just wish I knew what it is you want
Can't go on like this just needs to stop
And even though we don't really talk
It seems that you can still read my thoughts
I just wish I knew what it is you want
We don't talk and I can't read your thoughts
We knew that this was doomed from the start
Tempers frayed every day from foolish remarks
Both over the limit though you know this
Process is hopeless soberly lower focus
Locusts and roaches encroach on roads eroded
Roam alone broken components
Clone ownership of an overdose ditch
Strobe lit neurosis closest fit
Clothes ripped disco psychosis
Just goes to show which odious oceans
Of wisdom frozen cashed in the token
Gesture the rest of the dead bed of roses
Superimposing fictitious devotion
Hold your nose in overblown emotion
Point proven t-totally broken
Corroding within sentiment spoken
I just wish I knew what it is you want
Can't go on like this just needs to stop
And even though we don't really talk
It seems that you can still read my thoughts
I just wish I knew what it is you want
We don't talk and I can't read your thoughts
Why you being so unreasonable?
Can't go on like this it just needs to
