ATLAS & THE PYRAMIDS
OUT ON 14/05/2023
LYRICS Late to the party it’s a strange kind of city I’m not living in Virtual beauties running trolley dashes at The Virtue Inn Doing my head in while their Supermen are dolling up ahead of the Why and Wherefore wedding The church is The Camera Ring Out of the blue You take it on you To tame the sound Out of the blue You take it on you To save the town Wax and Wane are the middle names of Larry Tar as he chases stars in dirty bars Scary thoughts show up early doors because he surely does I need an explanation right this time This generation only looks in line when cueing for the lights I guess now it’s all on the shoulders of you and I Out of the blue You take it on you To tame the sound Out of the blue You take it on you To save the town Wearing sin as a second skin Switching the pin of the virgin to the right The Monster terrorizes underground Shut him up in the wicker man Set him ablaze and love will come around Didn’t we make him with our hands Out of the blue You take it on you Out of the blue You take it on you To tame the sound Out of the blue You take it on you To save the sound
THE NEVER-ENDING LINE
OUT ON 21/03/2023
LYRICS There was no way across and nowhere to run So she tossed her ways for the vowel gun She fired she missed She decided to hire a kiss for the fight And thought of the prize As she fought for a bite On the never-ending line He was champing at the bit So he shut his eyes Using his wit just to skirt the tie Do bats eat cats he started to pretend Oh and there she was again This time on The Never-Ending Line Kiss me or I’ll sing again, she smiled Come and get me if you can I’m right before your eyes The final sight saw them falling side by side Across the never-ending line
THE ANSWER IS
OUT ON 21/10/2022
LYRICS It only matters if you think it does Heard your mother say You think too much Come on and fire away with your question I’m in the mood for information Now what would you like to know What do you need it for What if I run away with the answer You’ll get to be a child for a little longer It only matters if you think it does I like to think it matters all too much I’ve been trying to stay away from this But it’s turning around to touch All the strings that you and I have set in motion Now I know what you want to know Is there a life outside of this show The answer is ** Sorry I’m so sorry you know now there’s no way out Is there somewhere we could go The answer is **
TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY POX
OUT ON 21/08/2022
LYRICS We were young so long before The coming of the underscore Connection smashed its way through the door Distraction’s muscles didn’t act the same Back then subtle now prepared To sweep the floor from under All is well is what we used to tell ourselves at night Shutting all factories All is well until it’s not and then all you have got Is Twenty-First Century Pox Meanwhile Treading through the storm Like a trooper of some sort The melody maker Gets up in time just to fall in the fight He lights all the warning signs that he can find Spreading the word that this here is hell If you haven’t got owt to sell All is well is what we used to tell ourselves at night Shutting all factories All is well until it’s not and then all you have got Is Twenty-First Century Pox Setting the courses on fire We thought we were going to the stars Starting back in 1969 Exactly where is it We are tonight precarious angels abusing fun to buy some time
