about

A slow builder with a big finish. I think my voice box was trying to escape during the second chorus.

lyrics

You're Mine:
When they come for me i won't go without a fight
It's the way that i've been taught, don't know if it's wrong or right
I'm gonna take some hits and i'm gonna bust some teeth,
When they break this veneered smile they might not like what's underneath
I'm an honourable man, but i seldom let it show,
And the way i feel tonight i might let that honour go
I've been pushed and i've been pulled and they told me many lies,
But i've had it up to here and now they've crossed the final line,
I'm right and i am just and i do not make a fuss
But the limits have been stretched as we watch them turn to dust
Because everything you fear will be sitting waiting here
On your bed with the lights out in your room
And when you come back home and you're quiet all alone
I'll be waiting to whisper in the gloom - You're mine.

I've lived a quiet life, mostly in between the lines
I always avoided conflict and enjoyed the best of times
But the rotten at the top are now spreading their disease
And they will not stop until this land is on it's knees.
The bankers are all rich, the politicians gorged and fat
Celebrity is the new drug more addictive than crack
So i am just a man and my feet are all i have
To hold me up in these times as i try to make a stand
So wake the dormant urge and we're going after blood
As i watch the god fearing men drag his name through the mud
Because everything you fear will be sitting waiting here
On your bed with the lights out in your room
And when you come back home and you're quiet all alone
I'll be waiting to whisper in the gloom - You're mine

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.
