Back to Basics

Lower portcullis, pull up the drawbridge
That's the English way
Ignore the facts, distrust the new.
It's just the English way
It's back to basics for us boys
Closing our ears to the disquieting noise
To the forecastle, sandbanks ahead
Drowning in money; cappuccino foam
Just like when roofer ruled
Drowning in money; cappuccino foam
It's back to basics for us boys
Closing our ears to the disquieting noise
Merry England's what they want
Looking on a Friday, it's what we've got
Be careful what you're wishing for
The boats won't save you from the rising tides
It's back to basics for us boys
Closing our ears to the disquieting noise

Daydreams of Aidi
03:13

|
He's feeling uptight
Hiding his eyes from the light
Plays with the watchstrap in his hand
Waits for the buzz and its command
In the crowd he's on his own
It's his city not his home
Red bricks line the red old streets
Via Saragossa up the hill
Cycling under scorching heat
Green-jumpered girl at the top of the hill
Thoughts of Valentino,
They occupy his mind
A life spent speeding
And so out of time
He's pounding the street
Moving to the beat
Of the song on repeat in his head
See's the world in green and white and red
In the crowd not on his own
The thoughts of her they guide him home
through the porticoed streets
Wind in his hair, down the hill
Powered by pumping of his feet
Grunge Girardengo with an iron will
Thoughts of Valentino,
They occupy his mind
A life spent speeding
And so out of time
Daydreams of Aidi
Speak his thoughts
And in his head
Prayers for the dead

The Soul Banker

You've signed your name
The Soul Banker's opened his account
He wears the winter
as a coat
The wind is his scarf
You've signed your name
He's withdrawing
You're withdrawing
Feeling the chill
The bitterest pill
You've signed your name
The Soul Banker's opened his account
Across the grey
Tomorrow and Today
Not like yesterday
The Soul Banker's opened his account

International Conspiracy
03:28

You say tomorrow belongs to you
and that there's nothing we can do
Maybe what your saying is true
But realise we'll be fighting too
International conspiracy
All against you and me
Tomorrow the world is ours
Vienna and Paris just a matter of hours
You've got both guns and men
You say it's not if but when
In the beer halls and drinking dens
You plot and plan and then you say
International conspiracy
All against you and me
Tomorrow the world is ours
Vienna and Paris just a matter of hours
You speak from your platform
Surrounded by thugs in uniform
Versailles you claim will be torn
So full of rage and scorn
International conspiracy
All against you and me
Tomorrow the world is ours
Vienna and Paris just a matter of hours

Pocket Lint London, UK
Solo artist, guitars, synths and pianos. Genre nomad. Concept driven noir pop
My songs are scattered with found sounds. I call them aural bon-bons.
Enjoy!

by Mirror Of Haze
Perfectly gloomy Norwegian goth/post-punk, anchored by a punchy rhythm section and driven by chiming guitar lines and morose vocals.
