I came up with this during lock down a few years back, I thought I'd muck around with it...
Written a while back during lockdown...Vanishing BordersPrevarication reignsSomewhere inside but theres nowhere to hideFrom sobriety againAbstenation is no consolationI dont know this wayYou dont know this wayI see the sands of timeReversing before meThey will not ignore meI think ive lost my mindVanishing borders of Entropic disorderI dont know this wayCan I stay with you tonight?I seldom see the lightI dont want to be this wayI can feel decayI dont want to be this wayI should not be this wayOh give me a line of cokeWe'll roll some midnight tokesAnd line 'em up and get 'em inWe'll knock 'em back and sink or swimI think im lost in timeI think ive lost my mind
From a rock opera written a long time ago in a mind far far away, still needs some work.
I wrote this one during lockdown a while back, it needs a bit of work....
From Aunty Joan
An Emperor sits on his throne Building states from human bones I heard all this from Aunty Joan She told me on the telephone
Learn to love your inner beast She said with fortitude at least put your best foot forward now Try not to slay the sacred cow
Welcome to the bottom of the pile You might be here with us for quite a while And if you're wondering where the moneys gone It never stays around for far to long long
Prepare for the worst but hope for the best Scream and shout, don't let it rest Let it out, get it off your chest
I heard all of this from Aunty Joan She told me on the bleeding telephone She told us all this day would soon arrive And we should hope and pray for our lives
I'm a little wary and skeptical To drink or not to drink, and question all Try not to fight or cause a public brawl Its what she said to me if I recall Unless I want them to cut off my balls
Prepare for the worst but hope for the best Scream and shout, don't let it rest Let it out, get it off your chest
I heard all of this from Aunty Joan She told me on the bleeding telephone She told us all that day would soon arrive And we should hope and pray for our lives
Some album filler from the 90s. The vocals are embedded, and the original is lost, so apologies in advance for the poor production...
The Final Track on my Rooftops album. The 1st track can be heard here: https://soundcloud.com/orbiting-freakshow-orch/rooftops-and-chimney-pots-part-1
The Finale of my 'Eyes' Album. I had three versions of the song, which I crashed together to create this....
I was going through some tracks that i mucked around with during lock down, and decided to develop some into an album starting with this one. Needs a few tweaks...
From an Rock Opera attempt! A Prime Minister is embroiled in a monkey punching scandal. You can hear the following parliamentary debate here; https://soundcloud.com/orbiting-freakshow-orch/house-of-madmen-1991
1st demo after writing, slightly drunk at the time. The finished track can be heard here; https://soundcloud.com/orbiting-freakshow-orch/vampires-of-insanity-part-1-1997
Taken from a story called the Eyes. The protagonist sees a vision of the future where fascists have taken over the world....Not exactly my best singing!
Some Album Filler from the late 90's. The next track on this album is; https://soundcloud.com/orbiting-freakshow-orch/timewarps-1999-1st-remix
Some Orwellian Pop from the 90's salvaged from old 4-track. Its full of destructive editing with stuff all over the place.... Another track from this album is https://soundcloud.com/orbiting-freakshow-orch/monsters-1999
We are the Dead
Under the spreading Chestnut tree I sold you, you sold me There lie they, here lie we Under the spreading Chestnut tree Oranges and lemons said the bells of St. Clement's You owe me three farthings said the bells of St Martins Here is the candle to light you to bed Here is the Chopper to chop off your head
Time has caught us, corrupted by thought-crime Can they really get inside our heads? We shall meet in the place of no darkness Now that finally we are the dead
I was remembering my Mother, Before the rats and love of Big Brother V for Victory over one's self Do it to Julia! Do it to Julia! 2+2=4, if that is granted then all else follows
Here is the candle to light you to bed Here is the Chopper to chop off your head Time has caught us, corrupted by thought-crime Can they really get inside our heads? We shall meet in the place of no darkness Who'd be a politician corruption free and clean They're just a suited tool at which to vent our spleen
Time has caught us, corrupted by thought-crime Can they really get inside our heads? We shall meet in the place of no darkness Now that finally we are the dead
More from the 90's, might need another mix...
How far Should I go?
I feel a bit low, I feel a bit high The Eyes are searching my soul His soul got the know
So do you know, do you know why Doctor tell me I just need to know How far Should I go?
The Eyes are raping my soul His soul got the know
More stuff from the 90's, from a story called 'The Eyes'. The protagonist sees a vision of eyes looking at him from the future, and a voice warning him of the impending apocalypse.... The 1st track on this album is; https://soundcloud.com/orbiting-freakshow-orch/i-see-the-eyes-1998
Originally recorded on a Tascam in the 90's...
By Design
He lived by the musket and the drum And he flourished by the lash, and navy rum He was her prowd and only son
She knelt down by his grave felt the love she couldn't save It was blown away at the Somme
Tell me it wasn't all for nothing Tell me it wasn't all in vain Surely a life must count for something wont you justify this pain
As moral middens build up like moraines The Ghost of 1918 looms again By happenstance or by design
And now the scent of blood Turns the river into floods Like tears in poppy fields
And those who lived returned to their homes And the flowers made their homes in the bones And the years passed by and we put it on the silver screen And memories are screaming in the wind

The Title track from my forthcoming album, not exactly my best singing...
Humanoid Im loving you if its the last thing I do Im loving you just like you want me to
Ive been a labourer on a building site A waiter in a restaurant A barman in a public house A digger in a Graveyard for a day Just for a day
I have been a bin man A bass player in a band Ive been a factory worker Done some dirty jobs, sometimes cash in hand
Ive been a Father to a Daughter A Father to A son A Husband to a Loving Wife I always Knew she was the one
Ive mixed tons and tons of compo Ive dug so many holes and filled them up with concrete Ive Had dispairing spells of signing on the dole
Ive been an alcoholic and i have been a thief ive dabbled in narcotics been in trouble with the police
Ive had my share of street fights Ive broken young girls hearts And I have been a casual racist back in the distant past
But ive also been courageous Ive been there for my friends And I have now stopped counting all the money that ive lent
And I have been an artist And ive been citizen void But the only thing I'll ever be is an Earthbound Humanoid
From a drug induced rubbish space - Rock opera written in the 90's, Full of destructive editing...
Some attempted pop from my early days
Falling Through Time
I get that feeling sometimes The healing light, it feels alright Soaking up the sunshine We'll be alright, the futures bright I can feel the vibe in you I can feel the vibe in you Yes I get that feeling sometimes Say you'll always be around Its like we're falling through time Into each others arms
I get that feeling sometimes You are the Sun, you are the light Floating in your daydreams New horizons are in sight I can feel the vibe in you I can feel the vibe in you
Yes I get that feeling sometimes Say you'll always be around Its like we're falling through time Into each others arms
It feels like we,re falling through time I really like falling for you

The final track from my album 'Last Tango in Bulwell'
Brain
Brain don't desert me now Just when it becomes so much clearer now And brain, you re in the spotlight now You hear the crowd so take a bow
Brain, I need you more than ever if you can work it out, we're in with a shout Brain you're supposed to be the clever one But all you do is bring me doubt
Memories are failing me now And we cant see where we're going to Memories are failing me now and I don't know whom from who
Its such a shame but Its always the same and there's no one left to blame I turn on the light but im never home
Ive said it before and I'll say it again Its like a wild wild jungle in here When I open my mouth there's only foam
Memories, not worth a thought Are failing me now So don't ask me, ask me to recall
Memories are selling me short Failing me now and I am fundamentally floored
Its such a shame but Its always the same and there's no one left to blame I turn on the light but im never home
Ive said it before and I'll say it again Its like a wild wild jungle in here When I open my mouth there's only foam
The opening track of my forthcoming album Warning!! Chavs swearing! Lots!
When did love die?
Dad hits the bottle, Mother he could throttle They're feeling this marital bliss So Mother hits the bottle, Dad hits the Mother I wish I could stop all of this
Dads' at the bookies blowing all his dole Mothers starts to reminisce She met him through her brother School child lovers However did it come to this?
Oh how she cries for times gone by When did love die? When did love die?
She wished he'd never caught her eye When did love die? When did love die?
Sang with a sore throat (well that's' my excuse)
Trudy Breathes Again
She opens her eyes And now she pulled herself up out of the chaos Inverting all the colours in her ethos, She's joyful She leaves behind all the perfect people And saves herself from the twitter lynch mob, she breaks free and there runs a tigress Away from the congress of the insane she's free again
She thinks about the boy who used to work at Pickfords and of the time he took her to the pictures and stole a kiss What became of him in the years that rushed by did he find the girl that he had created in his day dreams oh what could have been in a different scene if she'd only seen, but the world is mean How could she have known
No room for tears in her brave new world now The puppeteers have lost their stringed attachments She's breathing She'll live her life how she feels she needs to shes' nothing left to prove to anybody but her self
and there runs a tigress Away from the congress of the insane she's free again
Sensational
Our heads are spinning round Our eyes are searching the skies A thousand flowers in bloom
A hunger unsatisfied Our third eyes starting to cry For a taste of Zing Zang Zoom
Its Sensational Its' Recreational Its Inter - satiable Its Inter - sociable
Deft of considered time Blood is still spilling like wine Blind men leading the blind
We fast approach the end of days And fail to ever mend our ways The clock strikes the end of time
Its Sensational Its' Recreational Its Inter - satiable Its Inter - sociable
Our heads are spinning round Our eyes still searching the skies But the flowers, they bloomed too soon
A hunger unsatisfied Our third eyes starting to cry Im sure we'll make the papers soon
Needs a few tweaks
Sitting in A Hole
Sitting on my own in a hole I can sense the age of the cold Sitting on my own in a hole Pondering on which head is next to roll
I'll ring you and sing you, my last goodbye
Sitting on my own in a hole lying back and staring at the sky Puzzled by the story as it unfolds and the universal tears that we'll all cry
And still I hear the marching of the clowns Spreading like a virus across the town Years after digging a hole And siting in silence I no longer want the staring role In my own asylum Sitting on my own in a hole laughing at the things that we got wrong and of all the things that we were ever told we'll laugh untill the end of the Sun
And still I hear the marching of the clowns Spreading like a virus across the town The bleating of the dumb sheep rapes our ears attacking everything that we held dear
Needs a few tweaks...
The Fire in Me
And when the Sun goes down We hear them crawling out From the Sewers from whence they hail Inbetween the spells in jail
I feel the fire in you
And if you try and break into my home And try to steal the things that I own Where my wife and children sleep But my love, it runs too deep You'd wish you'd never been Inside my Home
You'd feel the fire in me
I realise breaking in is inportant to you But the things I own are inportant to me too And I'll fight you for my things In my castle I am king And it's a fight you can't ever win
You'd feel the fire in me
From a rock opera that I wrote in 1999, called 'Fallen'. The protagonist, Ronny, in a drug fueled state, has come to believe that he is a God... The next track on this album is... https://soundcloud.com/orbiting-freakshow-orch/a-god-before-god-1999
Im now a God
You touch my face but im not there you will not find me anywhere I don't exist in this state Ive moved on and that's alright
You touch my heart but i cant feel You're like a ghost you are not real I cant resist my fate the lights turn on and im away
And now i have the power to do as I will Over life and death To save or kill
And with this Power I'll reign supreme I'll reign supreme For im now a God
And now I cast my eye over the fallen And see that all I despise So infected and swollen
I'll descend upon you From the skies the tears you'll cry For im now a God
I watch the lineage of time Play out before me im divine
(We all kneel down, now we worship you) All my Children fall to your knees, Kneel down and worship me
1st Mix of my latest, may contain traces of swearing!
The Hard Sell
Sat on the bank by the River Lean Enjoying the day with my kids on the green But the hoodlems in grey just wont go away
I asked them to refrain from such profanities again and again, I even said please Punched one in the face Yet 'Im' the disgrace
But all i ever want to do Is stay at home and grow my food and drink beer
And curl up with the missus too and pen a silly song or two and drink more beer
But Every time I think all is fine Something comes along and says no
Too good of a life So heres some more strife Stick that with your worrys and your woes
Im tired of saying 'oh well, that is life'
I went for a job but it didnt go well I wasnt equipped to make the hard sell They were asking weird questions it was natural selection
I went to the pub for a pint ot two But hoodlems in grey, well they were there too Well what could I do? Another big punch up Yet its me who gets locked up
But all i ever want to do Is stay at home and grow my food and drink beer
And curl up with the missus too and pen a silly song or two and drink more beer
But Every time I think all is fine Something comes along and says no
Too good of a life So heres some more strife Stick that with your worrys and your woes
Im tired of saying 'oh well, that is life'
The 1st New song ive written this Year, not sure if it's ripping anything off...
Last Tango in Bulwell
Its a sad set of sate of afairs its your future but you dont care Ive known you since we both wore flares And swore at teachers for a dare
Look at you now Down on your knees Begging bowl please
Look at you now On the street of the Merchants Infested with flees
Theres a shithead, lives above the Framesmiths Spits on schoolgirls walking by He took his crew up to crabtree their beating was quite justified
Ive seen you down near budget wise picking cigarette butts off the floor with the tears streaming from your eyes you cant be bothered but you want more
Look at you now Asking for change and soaked by the rain Look at you now With your waisted brain and life down the drain
Now for the very last Tango in Bulwell Time to pack our things and go And if by any chance we meet again Im not sure i'd want to know
The final track of 'The Belly Eye'... Merry Christmas to everyone on SC
Generic Love Song
So down the rabbit hole we'll always fall again And bless our magic souls we're in the wars again so take what you need
I only ever wanted to be loved by you but it seems our love is not enough to pull us through I only ever wanted to be in love with you Maybe our luck can pull us through
So once again we fix our smiling faces on And look into the crowd and sing our sweet love songs but we're crying inside
I only ever wanted, only the best for you but it seems my best was never good enough for you I only ever wanted, for you to feel it too maybe our luck will will see us through
Do you think you can forgive me For all the things I try to hide Do you think you can forgive me For these feelings inside
So bless our magic souls we fall apart again And bless our tragic souls we try and start again again and again
I only ever wanted to be loved by you but it seems our love is not enough to pull us through I only ever wanted to be in love with you Maybe our luck can pull us through
Not really a song, rather a bit of album filler, but it seems to fit in with the other tracks....
Built myself a makeshift studio out of an old laptop, and wrote this...
Whats in my head?
Anathema, Tea, Freaks, Hope Whats in my head? Another beer, Love, Sex, Dope Its all in my mind
Curled up in a ball in the feotus position Theres a world outside just waiting to scream Now ive seen it all i Need my Physician As never before was it this extreme
A bigger house, Cash, Meat, Beer Whats in my Head? My Wife, the Kids, the Bills, War Its all on my mind
Turn your sad face away
The Hoodlums in grey are looking for trouble As is the way of the 'Street Soldier' We best run away, we'll be seeing double Or else we could stay and stand our ground
The Belly Eye is in my Head
My little dog, my weight, Smoking, my fate Whats in my head? Space, love, cash, beer Its all in my mind
And the world looks so small when they look down from Heaven They think we're having a ball when we're having a war And this is all I can scrawl as I think like a peasant Drowned in alcohol like always before...
Half way through my latest album, not sure quite what this song is about, wrote the lyrics whilst I was a bit tipsy! Song needs another mix... See a cheap vid for it here; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XUl2-a7LV-U
Welcome to the big time
i never what to be, a burden apon your soul i could never be, as great as 'he' i could never take that role
Crawling through the holes and the tunnels of your mind Passages for Passengers You never know what you might find
Chorus; Welcome to the big time the belly eye Walk along the fine line Time to meet the no-one the belly eye All our work is now done
we fall down the rabbit hole
I could bake for you, a steak and kidney pie with all the trimmings of a Sunday roast We'll satisfy the belly eye
We'll have a drink or two, and sing some lullabies and now you're winning we'll confront your ghosts because its time to wave 'em bye bye
Chorus
And that it must end the curtain must now fall and as you aplaud this underlying score you'll see this freakshow is now flawed
And now your ghosts have gone, you've got them on the run we can move on, ever closer toward the end of the Sun
Chorus
Opening track for my latest project; 'The Belly Eye' As an experiment, for this album, im only developing ideas that come to me when im drunk!
Silent Screams
You're the one with the stolen dreams I'm the one whos' become a meme You're the one with the faded smile I'm the one with the jaded soul
And as I take it on the chin I sit here and drink my Gin all night long
You're the cat that got the cream I'm the one with silent screams You're the one with a Woman's touch I'm the one who drinks too much
And here I am now, an old has-been who pens words of drunken dreams all in song
But no rules can apply With the Belly Eye
You're the one who lost her mind Im the one who's lost in time You're the one with a Woman's touch I'm the one who drinks too much

Truly Broken
Of all the things you could ever say I think I heard the worst today As all the power went to your head Now it grows cold in your empty bed
I cant believe you actually mean it you're not even telling lies I should have known, I should have seen it As you lost the art of compromise
Damn the words that you have spoken Now my heart is truly broken
What you said was so absurd but you had to have the final word A delivery of indignation Your victory of swift castration
I cant believe you actually mean it you're not even telling lies I should have known, I should have seen it As you lost the art of compromise
Damn the words that you have spoken Now my heart is truly broken

A Day Off
Good old Mr Jones has arrived at a decision He's not gonna go to work today hes declared a public holiday
He wants to rest his bones just for a day or two He phoned his work without delay and told his boss to go away

We're not gonna go to work today For good old Mr Jones We'll be drinking in the pub today We'll have ourselves a holiday

Dehumanizipan
These drugs, well they hurt my brain How long, will those wires remain Its dehumanising, being in here and these drugs, they amplify my fears
You think you're doing fine but you've polarized my mind I cannot take your dehumanizipan
So take your medicine away Im not ill anyway You just seem to think that i am
Dont want to be your lab rat A guinea pig no longer Its dehumanising, And im growing stronger

Woman in Blue (part 1)
This ones for the woman in blue For the lights in her eyes and the song in her voice and she came to me in the height of a fever Singing strange songs that could never leave me Tales of ten string bean fellows that live underground That moved to save their asses from the mushroom cloud But i, im not sure what it means and she, was she all that she seamed
Woman in blue, this beautiful thing Is it something that we should sing? Woman in blue, Iwas pleased to meet you You came to the land where I am King
The Conclusion of my album 'Gone to the Dogs'.... Listen to a previous track from the album https://soundcloud.com/orbiting-freakshow-orch/the-dogs-are-out-tonight-1992
Gone to the Dogs (part 3)
I was born under a full moon A virgo child, a soldiers son Grew up so fast, it was all too soon Got a guitar, and learnt some tunes
When I was a schoolboy I thought the future was so clear And I left that place all feotus faced at the start of all my years Then I met my teacher in the pub with his face down in a beer and I tried to hear what he had to say through all his slobber and his tears
and he said Your generations' overlooked and now we're burning all your books Wealth aforded acording to looks and the countrys' run by crooks
Son you'd better give up now, you'll never make the grade because the seeds of doubt run deeper now than any cut from any blade When I was a younger man, we had the rockers and the mods But now we've got the gangs with guns its all gone to the dogs
I held it all in the palm of my hand But I never could truly understand Couldnt understand the point of the rat race that we run Swimming against the tide untill the end of the Sun Its gone to the Dogs...
Heed the words of this song you'll see I was right all along Next time you feel that somethings wrong You'l realise that its all gone Its gone to the Dogs...
I'd previously worked in a god forsaken dead- end deathtrap factory in Leicester where the noise was deafening, nobody liked each other and the boss was a complete ****. It inspired this song....

Needs a few tweaks!
You should see her
You should see her wrapped in Satin drape Eyes go where she goes, we'd go anywhere that she goes You should see her, queen of all the naked apes Radiating light and lust Standing out from all of us in the crowd
You should see her, Venus out in all her furrs She picks and choses whom she prefers To fall for her a life long curse You should see her Creator of her own reality feels right at home with sexuality and all the pretty girls and boys are mearly just her latest pleasure toys
But it was all just dreams obscure fantasies and in her head she screams whatever happened to me They came and took her children from her years ago Her Mum and dad no longer want to know
And when she wakes into reality She lives a different life you see where all the light has turned to dark amongst the cider drinkers in the park Oh it gets dark
Arms with needle holes and scars she to yearns to walk in front of cars lies with strangers in the park to pay for cider to wash it away We could be her
All will be Revealed
A man was passing through the town He saw the face of God in a clown A booming voice inside his head Said do not fear my little Pleb All will be revealed
War will set the world alight as men will take up arms and fight Three billion souls will end up dead Go preach these things that I have said All will be revealed
I cant take this information Get out of my head, its violation Cannot compute Mayday! Please do not dehumanize me
The man he thought well why tell me as I am just a nobody And who the fuck are you to be all powerful if you do nothing because
I cant take this information Get out of my head, its violation Cannot compute Mayday! Please do not dehumanize me
A salvage job from the 90's.

Woman in Grey (part 2)
Do you remember Those voices in your head And the things they told you That were better left unsaid
Well here in the darkness I thought I heared them too Whispers in the shadows It reminded me of you
They spoke of shear denile Relayed on a bitter wind Of a life played out in greyscale A life beyond all sin
And down here in the shadows Our lives just stummble on And delivers the script from which we read Regardless of right and wrong
So how does it feel Now you're the woman wrapped in grey The Truth is Revealed Now you're the woman wrapped in grey
Come now and deliver us from the vocalised untruths Maybe I can help you climb down from your homemade noose Maybe Im the one who saves you Maybe you're the one who saves me Maybe you can add some colour to this landscape of grey
Another from the early 90's. The vocals were recorded through a guitar amp, and with hindsight, I wouldn't have done such destructive editing!
It Wont Last Forever
It must be oh so nice to sit in the house of lords A nice big house in the country side with stacks of cash and the finest wines
But its back to the grime with the smell of drugs and crime where is your great epiphany within your consciences to set us free
It wont last forever So enjoy whilst you can It wont last forever
It must be oh so nice to sit in the house of commons Voting yourselves a big pay rise earning lots of cash to make up lies
So its back to the grime as your division bell chimes you cannot have any empathy as you've no idea what destitute means
It wont last forever So enjoy whilst you can It wont last forever

A 2nd Spider
Im every man wanting to be loved break my back at work I hope I earn enough
Im every woman wanting to give love feathering the nest but placed at 2nd best
They spy on all our homes and hack our mobile phones And gives debts and loans to turn us into drones
These wicked men in government Would strip us to the bone

Just Being You
They called you witch, they called you whore Gave you the cold shoulder, showed you the door Hacked into your soul, they left it raw They pierced your ego, right to the core
But I see the light thats surounding you You only did what you needed to And they did not approve But you were just being you
You showed how you just couldnt be the same and play out their plot lines Like a pantomime Dame
So they pointed their fingers And they blackened your name And now they give you silence Now aint that a shame
But I see the light.....
And they cant see the light thats surrounding you Because they're blinded by the darkness 'Cos they're choosing to And all this time you were sinning In the eyes of fools Because life is good when you're winning Theres' no time for fools
And if you ever get yourself away from here remove yourself from the madness and dissapear And if I ever have the balls to follow you Release myself from the sadness And the madness I'll be following you
Never got around to finishing this one back in 2014. This concludes my album - 'Scar Tissue'.
The Old House (Part 2)
He'd always thought it was a little bit strange As time played out, as if on a stage And all that fire and all that rage It chilled with age
He'd seen some things, with the ebb and flow Like new messiahs come and go And governments, rise and fall he'd seen it all
He'd played his part in the burning war to keep the jackboots far from the doors Tell them all what he has seen but who's gonna listen now?
They were ripping out the old house and clearing away the obselete past
Behind the old skirting they came across some old photograph A man with his bride on their wedding day So smart in his uniform he looked the part And she looked like the queen of his heart
Where was the place that they met and What kind of lives did they lead Was he a good man, was she happy and did he understand all of her needs
A house that has known all those memories Every room inside this place could tell a tale And those times that he held her so tight and those words that she whispered on their wedding night from behind her vail
Fifty odd years in this house they spent Time enough for laughter and tears Their children, they grew up and they moved away but it always felt right, through the years
Will he hold her again in the after life Now that he's passed to the light?

The Dogs are Out Tonight
The Dogs are out tonight Take your daughters home and lock your doors Don't come out till light Knives and broken bones you know the score
They all come out at night There'll be no more protection from the law and dogs will maul and bite and fight to claim the city streets its war How much more can the system take before it screams no more
Its happening all across the world the dogs are tonight
The Dogs are out tonight sniffing out your scent, they'll always find you so try to stay out of sight they love to gnaw a broken bone or two
The Dogs are out for you Barking out to beat you black and blue and back in '22 we were told of this don't say they didn't warn you How much more can the system take before it tears in two
Its happening all across the world the dogs are tonight
Stupid Me
Left to my own devices now will be the death of me with voices Clashing in my head you'd think they would agree Knocking 'em back for England untill i fall onto the floor And wake to find destruction like so many times before
The constant drive inside to fight the daemons from within Im not sure its any sort of battle i can win I drove all those who cared away, they all gave up on me and the only one in charge of me is stupid stupid me
Wild indecision, wild mutations cant be tamed I see through blurred vision, there's spiders crawling in my veins Behold the Godless lovers, is that the only way to be Devoid of all others, don't leave me with stupid me
Hopeful days and hopeless nights, im staring at the Gin and taking stock of all Ive got, I count my wealth in tins The tears i cry through blurry eyes distort my view of death And wondering why i should not die is all that i have left
Do you think, do you you ever wonder if in your heart, you're still with me I know you had to cast me a sunder but you left me alone with stupid me

Traveling Blind (part 2)
Hat and coat and scarf and blinkers on it might be time to go outside Leave the house and see whats going on and try and take it all in my stride
Looking around im sensing mass disquiet Is this the calm before the riot? And the Godless lovers preach at us in vain Are spider crawling in our veins?
Are we pissing in the wind? reeling from our own chagrin
Can you feel the static in the air looking round we're all so charged its enough to raise your hairs but we're traveling blind, by and large
Traveling blind, we've got our blinkers on Traveling blind, t'ward the end of the sun
Theres an unnatural feeling an underlying sense of fear Like theres something out there watching us from beyond this tiny sphere
And people turn on each other and they hunt in packs like wolves and they're picking off the weak ones tell me Is this how we fall?
Listen to another track from 'The Sound of the Hoi Poloi'.... https://soundcloud.com/orbiting-freakshow-orch/pissed-and-stoned-1996-1st-remix
Still working on this one
Is Heaven in Your Sky?
Time for you is long for you are young and strong With a beautiful mind In a world thats gone blind I wish i knew what i can do Is heaven in your Sky?
Ignor all the vicious talk Your life is not a catwalk Ignor all that they say You're beautiful in your own way
You can abuse your body to what you pecieve to be pretty but to acheive real beauty Its' all in the mind
You can save your body for your lifes still fighting and when vanity screams Its unkind
Heavens' in the sky
