lyrics

Do you hear me
Won’t you turn me around
Do you feel me
Do you feel me through the sound

I had a dream
Standing at the foot of my bed
with a tiger toothed sabre in my hand
I cut the cord again

I had a dream
I’m the first thing to exist in their eyes
And for a token of a fraction I’m alive
Then I’m ignored again

But I’m so glad it’s diamonds in the mud
And not a sea of diamonds all the time

And there’s a dream
(why won’t you look at me)
Indelibly etched in my mind
(i’m right behind the screen)
She cries for the loss of the child
(here’s my virginity)
that wriggles with joy in her arms
(I’m ready to be seen)

flipping coins with their monkey paw
they speak to me with open arms
they pull their head out of the radical clouds
that hold the objects of their founding
hallelujah oh to see
what’s happening inside of me
their infinite face abides
a jaw benign, a smile cracked wide

I am what I am
To be is to do
To do is to be
I am what I am

To do is to be
I am what I am
I am what I am
To be is to do

To be is to do
I am what I am
I am what I am
To do is to be

I am what I am
To do is to be
To be is to do
I am what I am

Children are our future

working all the time and always at rest
falling in love with everyone and not caring what anyone says
doing what’s expected and doing what feels right
getting a grip on everything and letting everything go
getting closer and closer and floating further and further away

floating further and further away
floating further and further away

Alien Home
by Tom Milsom

supported by 9 fans who also own “The Doula's Tulpa”

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)
