Superb PATS. Saw these boys support U2 last year – great talent.

A very fresh faced / clean-cut / uber straight haired Paul Weller from his 80s days with The Jam … gifting us a modern classic…

Town Called Malice

:)

The new track from the ever brilliant Manic Street Preachers..

Autumnsong

(P.S … Anyone notice just a wee sound similarity at times to a certain GUNS N’ ROSES classic? Hmmm?)

Still, not too “samey” though… and a great tune!

:P

Wahay! :D
It’s been a long time since I had my name on a thread.. and I’ve certainly never had the pleasure of being able to share one! 8)

Thank you for the honour PATS!

Right.. I best start Here

Why Should I Cry For You?

Under the dog star sail
Over the reefs of moonshine
Under the skies of fall
North north west
The stones of Faroe

Under the Arctic fire
Over the seas of silence
Hauling on frozen ropes
For all my days remaining

Would north be true?

All colours bleed to red
Asleep on the ocean’s bed
Drifting in empty seas
For all my…[Read more]

July

July please
I’m on my knees
The smell of your fresh cut grass
Your blue sky grins
For all its sins
Look another gorgeous Levi ass
And July people come and go
It looks like another perfect day yeah
Just to see your striptease show
July please try your best to stay
And a mongrel begins to bark
At a wino in the park
And his owner doesn’t…[Read more]

Delicate

We might kiss when we are alone
When nobody’s watching
We might take it home
We might make out when nobody’s there
It’s not that we’re scared
It’s just that it’s delicate

So why do you fill my sorrows
With the words you’ve borrowed
From the only place you’ve known
And why do you sing Hallelujah
If it means nothing to ya
Why do you sing…[Read more]

Cannonball

There’s still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
There’s still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
There’s still a little hard to say what’s going on

There’s still a little bit of your ghost
Your witness
There’s still a little bit of your face I haven’t kissed
You step a little closer to me
So close I can’t see what’s going…[Read more]

Happy Birthday Chessy

The Dangling Conversation

It’s a still life watercolour
Of a now late afternoon
As the sun shines through the curtain lace
And shadows wash the room
And we sit and drink our coffee
Couched in our indifference
Like shells upon the shore
You can hear the ocean roar
In the dangling conversation
And the superficial sighs
The borders of our…[Read more]

Strangelove

Strangelove
Strange highs and strange lows
Strangelove
That’s how my love goes
Strangelove
Will you give it to me
Will you take the pain
I will give to you
Again and again
And will you return it

There’ll be times
When my crimes
Will seem almost unforgivable
I give in to sin
Because you have to make this life livable
But when you…[Read more]

Jealousy

At dead of night
When strangers roam
The streets in search of anyone who’ll take them home
I lie alone
The clock strikes three
And anyone who wanted to could contact me
At dead of night
’til break of day
Endless thoughts and questions keep me awake
It’s much too late

Where’ve you been?
Who’ve you seen?
You didn’t phone when you said…[Read more]

Secret Garden

She’ll let you in her house
If you come knockin’ late at night
She’ll let you in her mouth
If the words you say are right
If you pay the price
She’ll let you deep inside
But there’s a secret garden she hides

She’ll let you in her car
To go drivin’ round
She’ll let you into the parts of herself
That’ll bring you down
She’ll let you…[Read more]

Into Temptation

You opened up your door
I couldn’t believe my luck
You in your new blue dress
Taking away my breath
The cradle is soft and warm
And couldn’t do me no harm
You’re showing me how to give
Into temptation
Knowing full well the earth will rebel
Into temptation

A muddle of nervous words
Could never amount to betrayal
The sentence is…[Read more]

April Come She Will

April come she will
When streams are ripe and swelled with rain
May she will stay
Resting in my arms again

June she’ll change her tune
In restless walks she’ll prowl the night
July she will fly
And give no warning to her flight

August die she must
The autumn winds blow chilly and cold
September I’ll remember
A love once new…[Read more]

This song was written for the brilliant Billie Holiday… who was born today in 1915.

Angel Of Harlem

It was a cold and wet December day
When we touched the ground at JFK
The snow was melting on the ground
On the BLS I heard the sound
Of an angel
New York like a Christmas tree
Tonight this city belongs to me
Angel

Soul love
Well this love…[Read more]

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

When are you gonna come down
When are you going to land
I should have stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man

You know you can’t hold me forever
I didn’t sign up with you
I’m not a present for your friends to open
This boy’s too young to be singing the blues

So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the…[Read more]
