VERSE 1
is this new blood stained robe to wear?
rips and tears
we play
these games
another contest that you won't win
bulls and matadors
we dance
and chase
VERSE 2
every red dwarf worth its weight in caves
like black holes
black holes
a clear night to find the answers in
constellations
where do we begin?
CHORUS?
another promise I make to myself
I'm weaker
I cave, I cave
you won't remember me tonight
FINALE
smooth warped fabric holds the key
plays games with me
i won't
give in
another promise I make to myself
I'm weaker
I cave
I cave

something about nature, cities and maybe falling in love...
CHORUS:
The back aches
the knees break
you pull away
from the embrace
VERSES:
shadows in the trees
lovers in the leaves
a cool night rain
brings curious feelings
secrets grow between
cracks in the pavement
lifted by roots
of romantic silence
running down alleys
op'ning to streets
bright with lamp lights
lush with memories
the scent of thickness
evaporating
the sun lifting
revealing; abiding
is this delusion?
friendly deception?
a divine spark
placing love in my lap
The back aches
the knees break
you pull away
from the embrace
VERSES:
shadows in the trees
lovers in the leaves
a cool night rain
brings curious feelings
secrets grow between
cracks in the pavement
lifted by roots
of romantic silence
running down alleys
op'ning to streets
bright with lamp lights
lush with memories
the scent of thickness
evaporating
the sun lifting
revealing; abiding
is this delusion?
friendly deception?
a divine spark
placing love in my lap

CHRIS HERE
So I compiled all the lyrics we've used in a single file separate from the note pad.
I've worked a bit on them, adding second or third verses for all the unfinished ones.
I hope you like the new stuff I've written. Murp.
Kat: I noticed you also used the "pallid colour" line in the new lyrics for Cranes which we already used in Ruby, but I realized I actually really like that, I think it's cool if some themes repeat across multiple songs.
So yeah, we currently have 9 songs total, and 3 more or less finished songs (The Wreckage, Ruby, and The Lost Room In The Grand Hotel. Clay Pigeons is also mostly done, we just need to decide on structure.)
(The 9th song, which doesn't have lyrics yet, would be the first one me and Julia started before Kat joined, I still really want to use that one).
Here are all the most up to date lyrics:
Clay Pigeons
when it's like
we are two moons
in orbit tonight
there is a tide
sinking all ships
when it's like
we are distant
in our bed tonight
and I hope you
die and I hope
its your fault and
I won't be there
and it tears
you apart
The Wreckage
we will never leave these bodies
these bodies make us whole
we tear off our eyelids to see the wreck below
we will never leave this wreckage
this wreckage is our home
your smile is dissolving the rain
you wash away
i was watching you grey
stumbling down
i smiled and waved
you were throwing grenades
we will never leave this prison
this prison's become home
we deny ourselves company
we sit alone
i imagined us
i turned left and you werent there at all
Candy
oceans would weep for our demise
and skies bleed blue
like candy eyes
onceans would sink our best defence
and skies crack wide
any pretense
Ruby
you pick your pallid colour
you make the moon for me
you pick your pallet well
paint upon the canopy
the moon sets
and the sun grows red
all lies end
drawn to dust instead
you brush the fading stars
swept from the firmament
you paint me cochineal
tell me it's heaven sent
The Lost Room In The Grand Hotel
like hotel
room keys and
hotel room doors
room service
making nights
on hotel floors
like nightmares
that fade fast
locked doors
deny my passage
making plans
on something lost
lonely lives in the entrance way
lonely leaves me nothing to say
this room leaves with nothing to say
The Sabotuer
not letting this
get away this
time
I'm always
the saboteur
I don't want to
not letting this
get out of hand
you're angry
and I understand
Cranes
hear my words, are they voiceless?
scream my song, is it painless?
with inscriptions burned in marble
and words heav'ly etched into stone
how they spill from lips crimson
each one a drop of poison
I'll end up in the ground with you
if I stay here longer
the best one to bind is you
signatures fold in octavo
what I say shall never fade
I'll find it trapped in this eternal
I'm suffocating on these sounds
asphyxiating while I drown
words are hands around my throat
oration takes a tone so mute
keep the rayless morning cold
and the dusty clouds rapt
when a heart as big as yours
is all the light can hold
pick up your pallid colour
make up the moon for me
I know too well the colour
of the secrets you keep
in the first pallor of dawn
you shine just like a sun
under the vanishing starlight
and brightening night
you're too bright to be so dark
Red Dwarf
another contest that you won't win
bulls and matadors
they dance
they chase
every red dwarf worth its weight in caves
like black holes
another promise I make to myself
I'm weaker
I cave, I cave
you won't remember me tonight

adj
1. of or like twilight; dim

Good Drums
I really like the drum sounds in these songs. I think a lot of the drums they use on Back Catalogue are simple, minimal and really catchy. Check out "Controversy Between":

Other then the drums on that song I like the overall feel of it right down to the distant vocals and the un-emotional synth-line.
I'm also a big fan of the drum fills in "Nag Nag Nag" by Cabaret Voltaire:

Another good thing about that song is the noisy intro bit.
