Its 2:45 am, I'm tired, and I wish i had some more new songs to show you, but instead I've spent the weekend out from touring drumming up interest for Billy Bragg's 'Jail Guitar Doors' Campaign. Its going amazingly well, and the feedback from bands (some who I didn't expect to reply) and local luminaries alike has been fantastic. But then again, why not? Its a very worthy cause, and it uses music to further the positive effects music can have in our communities. Take a look if you get a mo...

Song for WarsawTake my hand
And in the other a stone
And we will rise up from the ashes
Of our loved ones, young and old
I heard the latest status quo
From far amongst the birds
The messiah never did arrive
To clarify his words
I don't wanna believe a word of it
But he don't ever come and I see no sign to believe in
The weight of your last vow, the tick tock of the clock, now
Now our love must wait on ice
While the sky is torn in two
I never said that I'd be nice my love
Just true my love, just true
We were born into shackles
Be a monster if you must
I killed a man with my bare hands
And covered him with dust
I don't wanna believe I won't be judged
But he don't ever come and I see no sign to believe in
I've been so close to death all I can think about now is living
Or do you wanna go out now, waiting on a revelation?
We were born into shackles
Became monsters set in stone
And we'll rise up from the ashes
Firing guns of skin and bone.
Oh he don't ever come and I see no sign to believe in
I've been so close to death all I can think about now is living
When you're so close to death all you can think about is how you were living
And I'm not gonna go out now waiting on a revelation
I'm not gonna go out now waiting on a revelation.
