The Voice of Billy Name
04:11
|
|||
Don’t
Cultivate it
Just
Imitate it
We saw you buying Brillo pads
You kick started the future
You made us mad
This is the voice of Billy Name
This is the voice of Billy Name
And you’ll never be the same
After fifteen minutes of fame
This is the voice of Billy Name
Don’t
Innovate it
Just
Casually motivate it
We saw you trying to find the frame
Who knows how to work the lights
Angry two chords again and again
This is the voice of Billy Name
This is the voice of Billy Name
I was there, the gallery in flames
Michigan fair grounds and great acclaim
This is the voice of Billy Name
She came from Germany
They should be buried
They renamed the building
Coulda made it if you hurried
She made her mark
You kept it stark

All The Rage
05:13

Let me tell you what you mean to us
In a way where no one really tells you
Right at the moment
when you need to hear it the most
Let me break the part of you
You didn’t know you really needed till it was gone
Let me keep advancing without reason or skill
Let me move the line you’ve had
Your sights on for so long
it’s all the rage
It’s all the rage
You’re all the rage
Let me work at finding everything you want
Right at the moment when there’s no way to afford it
Let me power through aimless and aggressive
Handouts and incentives galore
Let me keep my fingers crossed you keep doing what you’re doing
Without intention to ever reward it
Let me think you’re all replaceable if any of you ever realise
What there is behind the door
On the outside appear calm, while frantically defusing the bomb ticking away
Someone will surely build a machine that will fix all of this one day

Without Us
04:34
|

I know you don’t want to be here
But can you let it all go?
Is it worth the aggravation?
Is this the fine line that we tow?
You could step up again
But really what’s the point
Armies make their move at sundown
One more saviour left to anoint
We see that desperation
Behind every one of your jokes
She was definitely here for a reason
In a few years write it off as just another hoax
Maybe we’ll all match tomorrow
Maybe we’ll put our heads down
Struggle to regain control of the vessel
Before the women and children drown
Could this all work without us
Would the motor still turn over in our absence
Will the moon fire rage on
Will we still awake at dawn
To find just a framework of all that we had once
Pulled apart and carefully numbered
Until the next one too becomes blurred
We all know you tried your best
Put on a brave face and battled the sponsors
But your defences were badly out gunned
Your supporters kept hidden and then unleashed all your monsters
A half baked, compromise barely realised
To the sound of thunderous applause
No matter how you tried to bait them
They wouldn’t give you your ending they loosened the laws
This all barely worked before us
And the motor was just fine in our absence
The moon fires were all our imagination
We wake cold and alone at the station
To find just a framework of all that we had once
Pulled apart and carefully stacked
Until the next one too becomes blurry and cracked

Voice Of Reason
03:59
|
|||
I am the small, quiet,
voice of reason
All to myself
I assume that, mostly,
I still get it wrong
The view from here,
is not what it’s cracked up to be
Why can’t we all
Just get along
I live out a hundred
scenarios
In the blink of an eye
And conclude
Somewhere deep
Best leave them there
I am in training
against all distractions
or I’d do nothing but cry
Underneath the packaging
Now impossible to tear
Let’s find together
Those wide open spaces
Like those crime driven road trip movies
From the 90s
can’t the digital authorities
Just let us be
From the Arches in Arizona
To the north western pine trees
Hidden from radar
Out in our old car
It’s said there’s nothing sweeter
Than a cancelled arrangement
But that’s only if you know
What to do with the time
Like a cat in the bushes
Be ready for the sweet rush of the kill
Is it part of your nature or part of your pleasure
That makes it a crime
Let’s find together
Those rare cosy corners
And be the wild old couple that aid our hero
In the final act
Let us mind our own business
We’ve tried it your way
It’s a dead end full of destruction
And you can’t take it back
Hidden from prying eyes and adverts
Here on the outskirts

I did my time
My time in the city
I fell in love
We worked real hard
Now give me a home
A home in the country
Peace and quiet
A big back yard
The city was good
Good and exciting
I was younger
I didn’t break
But it has a way
of telling you to move on
Hand over the keys
To the hungrier and louder
Move to the country
And now that I’m here
I’m going get a big home
And fill it up
With all of my stuff
I don’t care if it’s cliche
Or not a dream of yours
I hope that you’re happy
I hope you stay tough
Relentlessly middle class
Don’t make me get off my arse
There isn’t anything
Anything you can tell me
About the cities
About all there is to do
I did my time
Surrounded by humanity
But after all is said and done
I need my space from most of you
Because I’m already up here
I’m going get a big home
And fill it up
With all of my stuff
I don’t care if it’s cliche
Or not a dream of yours
I hope that you’re happy
I hope you stay tough

I don’t want to go on forever
Don’t forget to let me go
Enough can be enough
As fast as life can be
sometimes it’s too slow
Filled up with experiences
Make each moment count
But don’t beat yourself up when it doesn’t happen
We only get a certain amount
Change the embrace
Push back at the winds
You’ve found yourself here
Where it begins
But nothing stays static
For very long
Except the radio
and the statues we don’t tear down
I have a fear of the frailty of age
And I don’t want to leave you all alone
Relevance and acceptance are to be ignored at all cost
Your departure time, they promise can always be postponed
But don’t postpone it for me
That’s not a place I ever want to be

Miscellaneous Plumbing Fixtures New Milford, Connecticut
Songwriting and banging your instruments together
The main thing I love to do is write
songs. I pick up various instruments from ukulele to piano, accordion to percussion and electric guitar to harmonica and bang them about to try and get close to the noises I hear in my head but the writing comes first.
