Song Information:

Yay! it uploaded.

after a manic and inspired first week I have been quietly picking through the rubble and polishing lyrics a bit, and I recorded a new backing track yesterday and came up with lyrics without really associating them. And then just ploughed ahead and sang em over the top. So it's a bit sloppy, and the melody is rough as .. well it reminds me a bit of something from Dylan's Motorpsycho Nightmare era a bit .. It rock's out a bit too tho' so I'm happy.

EDIT this is now the CD version with telecaster and double tracked vocal

Song Lyrics:

your tongue tied up with promises
your feet tied up with lead
you lean upon the corner but
you never turn your head

the temptation tick-tock
tugging at your sleeve
calling you to come and see
the last of your beliefs

down amongst the back streets
the stoop along the pier
dragging for that last chance
to get you out of here

the briars and the brambles
the castle and the rose
you heard about it long ago
you're the only one who knows

your treasure chest will open
when the password is esteemed
by the angels who are guarding
you from all your unborn dreams

the contraband is close at hand
the transport engine runs
the net is being gathered while
you contemplate the fun

chase the midnight mantra
climb the morning stair
catch a star before the dawn
with demons dancing everywhere

sift the idle chatter
that echoes through the yard
as if the past could congregate
and help was on the cards

the past is all around you
you feel it in your head
and see it in the visions
of the living and the dead
