lyrics

This could be the final time you see me,
If you don’t mind let’s make the most of all this empathy,
Call me a coward please, it’s plain to see that now I’m back on Shingle Street,
I’m rolling over all the rocks and back onto my feet,
Call me a waste of your time, please just draw a line,
In the sand that I could be if you just crushed me with a lie,
I was skipping on the surface of where I shouldn’t be,
With a single swing of your arm you threw me at the sea,
But we are on a curve it’s one that runs through all our nerves,
And it always brings us closer to what each of us deserves,
Tell me that I hurt you, tell me there was pain,
So that my return to Shingle Street doesn’t have to be in vain, no!

We were there,
We should know,
Who we were,
We should know,
We were fine,
We were alone,
We didn’t care,
We should know,

I see the sun barely moves when I’m gone,
It tried to take its time so it could keep my shadow long,
Slowly I’ll be sorted with the smaller stones below,
It’s all that I can do to simply sit here and erode,
And when I reach the bottom and I’m nothing more than sand,
I’ll remind the other grains that they are still part of the land,
So justify your choices and then throw them all away,
And build yourself a wall so you can give yourself some space,
Now I’m thinking of the insults I’m sure I could have earned,
And wondering if anything at all has to be learned, no!

Alien Home

Frankly, I go for bedroom recordings. Why... well, in such a setting with (usually) limited technical resources, the only way out is real good songwriting! And Tom Milsom aka "Gemini Eye" evidently has plenty of the required talent. "Alien Home" is a fun album with great lyrics and clever, ever-surprising song ideas, demonstrating that even a most tasty meal doesn't need more than simple ingredients. More favorite tracks besides "Home": "Charlie's Birthday Song", "A Little Irony", and "West Street". Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
