bag of sin 03:03
lyrics
buy track
Gather round, would-be sinners It’s time to have a party Let’s kick off with Lust Oh, good one, intense desire You can do it til you bust And you’ll end up in the fires of hell Oh well, blown around forever In the hurricane-like winds That’s what’s in store for you Ho! Ho! Ho! Ring-a-ding-ding! Put your hand in the Bag of Sin! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ring-a-ding-ding! Put your hand in the Bag of Sin! Don’t be shy... Then we have Gluttony and Greed Over indulge and have more than you need Even when others don’t have enough Well, it’s not your fault - life is tough Ho! Ho! Ho! Ring-a-ding-ding! Put your hand in the Bag of Sin! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ring-a-ding-ding! Put your hand in the Bag of Sin! Now, here’s Pride Excessive love of self Because you know that you’re better Than everybody else Have contempt for the neighbours They’re a bunch of fools Pride is the one that comes before a fall Ho! Ho! Ho! Ring-a-ding-ding! Put your hand in the Bag of Sin! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ring-a-ding-ding! Put your hand in the Bag of Sin! Envy... The desire to deprive others of their things ‘Ooh, look what he’s got – I want it’. Envy. It’s rough - hatred, anger , rage Sewn into the tapestry of every age One left – that one’s Sloth And I can’t be bothered to tell you about it Ho! Ho! Ho! Ring-a-ding-ding! Put your hand in the Bag of Sin! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ring-a-ding-ding! Put your hand in the Bag of Sin! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ring-a-ding-ding! Put your hand in the Bag of Sin! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ring-a-ding-ding! Put your hand in the Bag of Sin! Put your hand in the Bag of Sin! Put your hand in the Bag of Sin! Bag of Sin! .

lyrics

My dad, he is the leader of the squad That means he’s close to God My dad gives everybody their shells He thinks he does it so well Same old bullet in the firing line Same old bullet in the firing line Same old bullet in the firing line Same old bullet in the firing line He is mistaken He is mistaken He is mistaken Same old bullet in the firing line... Dad always gives me blanks And for this action he wants thanks Same old bullet in the firing line... I wanna know how it feels To put a good man down He is mistaken Same old bullet in the firing line... Daddy thinks that I should give him thanks Because Daddy always makes sure I get a blank Same old bullet in the firing line... One day, daddy, give me a live one Let me shoot a man, let me have some fun Same old bullet in the firing line... I wanna know how it feels To put a good man down (Same old bullet in the firing line...) I wanna know how it feels To put a good man down I wanna know how it feels To put a good man down I wanna know how it feels To put a good man down .

lyrics

It doesn’t seem that long ago but it was two years I can tell you because I keep a diary And I checked it today Seems like it could have been last week I don’t want to get in a bad mood again I don’t want to be in a sad mood again So me I sit at the back of the bus And I think about you and me Me I sit at the back of the bus And I think of how it used to be Still don’t know quite what went wrong You never really told me that part I think it had a lot to do with the new boy in town That one with the car and the really nice shoes And you said, “he’s got a car and really nice shoes” And I thought: you’ve never talked about shoes before So me I sit at the back of the bus And I think about you and me Me I sit at the back of the bus And I think of how it used to be I know it’s over, but I don’t know I don’t know, I’ve got this feeling So me I sit at the back of the bus And I think about you and me Me I sit at the back of the bus And I think of how it used to be... .

Secrets and lies Secrets and lies Secrets and lies Secrets and lies When granddad died we all were sad We loved him, he was a character But then we had dug around And found out about the life he had Full of secrets and lies Secrets and lies Secrets and lies Secrets and lies Secrets and lies Found out about his women Around the globe At least a dozen children God knows how many we couldn’t find Swiss bank accounts No combination to his safe And threatening phone calls From men with accents Asking about shipments I thought granddad was Just a character Secrets and lies Secrets and lies Secrets and lies Secrets and lies Don’t tell anybody ‘bout your secrets and lies... Secrets and lies...

When they come for you, dance By the light of a harvest moon Save the last dance for me? Until the seas run dry Beyond the fingers of love Behind the moon Rest by the stream before you dance Rest by the stream before you dance Rest by the stream before you... DANCE When they come for you, dance When they come for you, dance When they come for you, dance When they come for you, dance The owl, the cat, the boat The light of the moon When they come for you, dance When they come for you, dance When they come for you, dance When they come for you, dance .

about

I am going to try to create, record and upload a new track every day for a year, starting April 2013.

My plan is to:
1) Produce a variety of material – alternative, ambient, pop, rock, reggae, acoustic, soundtrack, experimental;
2) Use a range of different creative techniques;
3) Be original;
4) Communicate ideas and feelings;
5) Surprise myself;
6) Have fun.

After the year has passed I will stop making music The music I have made will remain, but I will be elsewhere.

I hope you enjoy the sounds...

My good pal, Alfie, has moved along. He wasn't ready, but it wasn't his choice. I will keep him in my heart. Go, Alfie...

bushytunes Christmas Island

Once upon a time there was a crazy idea: to create, record and upload a musical track every day for a year. And the idea floated round and round the planet, looking for a place to call home. After a long time of searching and wishing and watching, the idea chose to make a nest in the brain of a bushy fellow, coming to his aid and guiding him out of the doldrums, back to a magical pathway... ... more
