1,2,3,4!

Autobiograpical innit?

Wrote this in Nathaniel’s bedroom which may be why it become something about the 4 of us.

Last week in wet October me and Laurie, (or possibly Laurie and I) did the video, having gone through one phone and 2 cameras I finally figured out we could yank the computer about  on extension lead and do the stop motion like that. A lot of it worked pretty well and some of it didn’t but that all got cut!

it’s available at https://vincentburke.bandcamp.com/track/1234

and here are the words for the hard of hearing:

1,2,3,4!

I’m
just no good
I can’t sing
I can’t chop wood
friends cast me out
but I’ve got1,2,3,4
something to be sure about
early combinations led me to a cold war
I’m in
I’m ready to begin
something to be sure about

I
can’t be found
all my hits
go underground
file them away
because I got

1,2,3,4
something to be sure about
early combinations led me to a cold war
I’m in
I’m ready to begin
something to be sure about

I didn’t know too much about the world before
I used to sit at home and observe the floor
I want more

so here I am
here’s my wife
here’s my pram
time slips away

but I got
1,2,3,4
something to be sure about
early combinations led me to a cold war
I’m in
I’m ready to begin
something to be sure about.

Forward! to the Sun

ah technology

I was feeling a bit tired sat in the kitchen one night and let my mind wander; this happened and I liked it.

Recorded it over the last couple of weeks, there’s quite a lot going on in it; squeaking door, whistling, sitar and I laid a lot of harmonies on the end

I did the video over the past couple of days ( I mean if you could listen with headphones and without watching that’d be even better) if you are watching though see if you can guess some of the sources – enjoy!

forward to the sun

I

I am myself

there’s been nobody else

could stick a flag on me

 

but if you like

you can rock my world

maybe it’d be fun fun fun fun fun.

 

salt upon the sea

and diamonds on the beach

the sunlight hits your hair

the gods are unprepared

do do do do do do

don’t

don’t you wanna roam

into an ancient world

like a killer bee?

come

and let your sky fall in

maybe it’d be fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun.

salt upon the sea

and diamonds on the beach

the sunlight hits your hair

the gods are unprepared

do do do do do do

 

don’t you want to run?

stepping out of this world

with me

forward, to the sun!
