Skin Diver

Look up, look up, it's here again
The lashing rain is here again
Whip up a wind to blow today
And a town in the country blows away
Sit up, sit up, be wide awake
Listen to the bones of the new world ache
Think up a tale to tell today
And a house in the town blows away
And the light of day never seemed so far away
Sit down, sit down and fade away
Into the walls of Saturday
Dream of something you need today
And a room in the house fades away
Lie down, lie down, relax today
A pleasant skin diver carves her way
Into the blue and out of the way
A speck on the horizon fades away
And the light of day never seemed so far away

A World Or Two
03:20

Got a world or two in here
Found a way to disappear
Got long black cars and rain
Got mist and winter again
There's summer in the air
And flowers in her hair
Sunshine on the world
Across the face of the girl
There's music in the wild
Got a dark and secret smile
There's a painting on the wall
Of a castle grey and tall
Got a Unicorn in here
Got a world of you in here
Got a chateau in the sun
Got a way to find my fun

I need a bit of terrestrial
Some time watching TV
Give me something to talk about
While we are watching the sea
If you want to see some chest beating man
Well you're in the wrong place
And if you want to feel my heart beating
Then look at my face
And you're gonna need a fast car
And you're gonna need a red guitar
And you're gonna need a rock band
And you're gonna need to hold my hand
And my coffee might go cold
And your telephone might ring
And a cold wind might blow
I think it's time, get your coat, let's do something
And you're gonna need a fast car...
When you look around the stranger's house
You don't know where you are
Step outside, get inside
I"m waiting in the car
And you're gonna need a fast car...

Black Suit

When I was young my name was John
I used to put my black suit on
and walk around in my disguise
My ways were high, I used to fly
I had the sunshine in my stride
I had the starlight in my eyes
And I would fill the air with waves
I would sail upon the days
I would rise up on the tide
I never thought that things could change
but there was trouble on the way
Oh no, I didn't realise
The night came down upon the town
The lights were out, the shades were down
I just knew something was wrong
Something was wrong
There was a showdown in my head
A gun-fight left me there for dead
Now the show cannot go on
No, the show cannot go on
The empty street called out my name
As they carried me away
I didn't stop to say goodbye
Didn't stop to say goodbye
When I came down I hit the ground
and wondered when I looked around
Where have all the good times gone?
Where have all the good times gone?
Another week, another day
I can't permit myself to stay
I have been away too long
I have been away too long

Is that your ghost standing next to me?
I used to fear everything but now it's gone
I feel the ground underneath me shaking
Feel the wind and the waves are growing strong
I close my eyes and I fall like a tree
I hear your voice changing everything
Everything that I knew has become nothing at all
And the fire's taken everything
All that's left is a voice that is so small
I close my eyes and I fall like a tree

The Man Said
03:54

Today I waited for a train
It didn't come but anyway
Today I waited for a train
The man said "What's your destination?"
I said "Anywhere but here"
He said "You've come to the wrong station son,
there's nothing for you here"
That's what the man said
Today I wandered far away
I didn't know the time of day
Today I wandered far away
The man said "Why the hesitation?"
I said "How did I get here?"
He said "I know your situation
but there's nothing for you here"
That's what the man said
Today I threw it all away
I didn't need it anyway
Today I threw it all away
The man said "What's the big occasion?"
I said "I am leaving here"
He said "You don't take much persuasion
but there's nothing for you here
That' what the man said

Shaking Sleep
07:47
|

|
Are we asleep?
We are certainly dreaming
Is it the moonlight?
Interrupted by your shadow
I can't see the street from here
but I can hear it's silence
While the night holds it's breath
Like waiting for chariots
Another one rolls over
A mouth with no voice
Open wide and ready to roar
but denied a whisper
It can't be long now
Nearly tomorrow
It must be summer soon
A time for journeys
Dreams for the hopeless
Strangers in wonderland
The home of the lost

Adrian Dent Cardiff, UK
From an early age Adrian was going to be a rockstar. He wrote some songs and taught himself guitar (in that order) and joined his first band as a teenager. He never became a rockstar probably because of his shyness and suspicion of the record business and in 2016 he quit playing live gigs due to a brain disorder. He now concentrates on writing and recording from his home on the South Wales coast. ... more
