Punk Rock 01:40
lyrics
buy track
This is a cover of "Glasgow Is A Punk Rock Town" by Sparky Deathcap. ---------------------- Horses run and at some point they stop Twisted tails like a phone chord dropped And I miss you more than I tell you But when I tell you that I miss you then the phone runs cold. Drawing blood with a black pen And the weird inclusion of a boy's name in the Letters that you wrote me And the junk mail filtered emails that I never read But everyone knows That Glasgow is a punk rock town And everyone saw That as you passed outside the window my nose started to bleed And the staff here are starting to recognise me.

a lie I tell myself when I am wide awake at 4am "one day you'll beat this crippling fear, the pain inside your chest" - a lullaby to sing yourself to sleep, you know inside your anxious heart this is the way you'll always be - a lullaby to sing yourself to sleep, you know inside your anxious heart this is the way you'll always be a lie I tell myself when I am wide awake at 4am - a lullaby to sing yourself to sleep, sing yourself to sleep

sometimes it stretches out before you as Camber Sands, low tide an expanse so flat you could walk a mile and not reach the water I know a shift only takes a moment suddenly you're running back with a megaphone warning, 'the tide is changing, you should swim between the flags you should swim between the flags'

Singer/Songwriter 02:45
lyrics

rust on your acoustic guitar - boy you forget what you are... still just a three chord wonder, cursed to be a singer/songwriter someone got a DAW and an APC thought they'd go electronic, do some ambient, be pop, but it's the same old shit that I was making before just with a couple extra synth arps on top x3 (still just a three chord wonder, still just a three chord wonder, rust on your acoustic guitar - boy you forget what you are... still just a three chord wonder, cursed to be a singer/songwriter)

about

I wrote fifty short songs between July-September 2021. These have been split into two albums "HUMAN CURSE" and "SINGER/SONGWRITER", because 50 songs is probably too much to listen to in one go. 25 songs is probably too much tbh but that's what you're getting. ENJOY!
