working this into a song i guess

[beau blood rush]

guild smiles in golden filigree for my fingers
cast your moods in lead and wear them
i'm late into evenings
never the only one
who needs to see the stars come apart

trade sweaters to keep you warm
or sew us into one
i've got no worries
bar those that line my head

one-hit wonder
cheat the numbers
everyone just wants to hear a song

I'm living for the ring
and nobody knowing whether to boo or cheer
fly like a butterfly -
with unstitched wings
put the world in a sling

you're baby-habit in the cradle of my chest
crying through the monitor of my head


sometimes i feel the planet slip beneath my feet,
that makes you the graze on my knee
keep your insides clockwork
and my head in gear

YAY! I've been hanging out to hear some of your stuff haha

This isn't my favourite one of yours but I still really like it.

"one-hit wonder cheat the numbers" is a good line :-)

I'm living for the ring
and nobody knowing whether to boo or cheer
fly like a butterfly -
with unstitched wings
put the world in a sling

Best verse/stanza by far. When I first read I took 'ring' to mean wedding rings, but then I figured it could mean circus rings and then I got images of Britney Spears and ANYWAY I'll probably be thinking about this verse for the rest of the night.

you're baby-habit in the cradle of my chest
crying through the monitor of my head

Second best verse. Love it. 'the monitor of my head' is great. 'You're baby-habit in the cradle of my chest' is great. A lovely image but not at all cliche - quite romantic actually.

This is really uhm... artsy or something but I like it. The ideas in it seem a bit more developed than the rest of it - which seems more raw.

sometimes i feel the planet slip beneath my feet,
that makes you the graze on my knee

John writing about Yoko couldn't have put it better.

keep your insides clockwork
and my head in gear

I want to get an epiphany out of this but I my brain just stopped working or something coz I don't get it... It's probably just not hitting me as hard as the rest of it did.


Sorry I didn't write about each verse in order but I commented on each part as it started to sink in to me.

I don't wanna sound like this freakish lil internet stalker but if you're band is playing in between 11 and 24th April I'll try check it out (I'l be in Aussie). This will be a very big compliment but honestly the whole reason I started listening to your guys' stuff is because I was throughly impressed by the lyrics you posted on here so keep it up dude :thumbup:

with the "i'm living for the ring" it means a 'boxing ring'
thats why the next line makes sense

thankyou so much though about everything you've said
the songs we've got up on our page atm are very bad and are only home jobs recording wise
we've nearly finished recording our EP tho so that's really exciting
its so much better than anything else we've done

are you coming down to melbourne are you?

[eliselovesmusic]

Ah I see... the butterfly bit makes sense now too...

Awesome I'll check out your EP when you release it :-) And yeah we're hitting Melbourne (super mega excited haha)

[beau blood rush]

yeah its such a good city
