about

Strange show tunes/swingy number about falling in love.

lyrics

So pay attention and i'll tell you a story,
A tale of pain and woe, of passion and glory,
Ordinary isn't ordinary from this view.
And he thinks: i won't rush you but we are in a hurry.
And she thins: There's no problem but i want you to worry
Do you question my choices when i choose you?
There's no reaction and you'll get slow applause
It's terrifying. We stare into the jaws of something so fine
It'll blow all our minds at the fuse.
So how does it go?
They keep on telling me you'll know when you know.
There's lots of symptoms but don't know the disease.
It's getting harder to breathe.
Is there anything more?
Save me doctor why dont you have a cure?
I might not take it but please give me the choice.
I'm drowning in the white noise.
So i sit and watch you go go go.
After falling and the dizzy explosion,
You stabilise and then you regain composure
The readings wobble but the craving keeps you still.
Or chains you down its like you're under a spell and
Drags you backwards through a beautiful hell and
Leaves you standing on the edge so drink your fill
There's no reaction and you'll get slow applause,
It's terrifying. We stare into the jaws
And eyes will go blind as we drink in the dazzling view.
So how does it go?
They keep on telling me you'll know when you know.
There's lots of symptoms but don't know the disease.
It's getting harder to breathe.
Is there anything more?
Save me doctor why dont you have a cure?
I might not take it but please give me the choice.
I'm drowning in the white noise.
So i sit and watch you go go go.

about

The Highwire Calamity Gravesend, UK

Aiming for somewhere between Arcade Fire and Murder By Death, usually missing wildly.

I had songs that weren't right for my other band (3dbsdown.bandcamp.com), so I started demoing them for myself. It has got a bit out of hand. I'd like to record more songs properly but that costs money, so all contributions gratefully accepted.
