lyrics

I don’t wanna say goodbye
When I open up my eyes
And really actually I wanna stay

I’m suspicious of the thing
And the nadir it’ll bring
But I think about it anyway

Deep sound beneath the ground surrounding all my fears
It’s tears permeate the surface birthing anxious blisters in my path for years

Well I’m feeling pretty good and I don’t know why
So can we throw critical thinking away?
I’m gonna text my mother just to say hey
Have a non-analytical day

I’ll take my macbook underground
I don’t deserve a hi-fi sound
And just record whatever comes to mind

Something getting in the way
A little flavour of the day
And made explicit in a way that rhymes

There’s something out of place, this pouting face of mine
Mash it up in a panic and then mix it with ceramic
And pour it into a mould of my head smiling all of the time

Well I’m feeling pretty good and I don’t know why
So can we throw critical thinking away?
I’m gonna text my sister just to say hey
Have a non-analytical day

Maybe if it’s not raining I can go and get those buffalo platforms with the transparent sides I’ve wanted for so long

Well I wanna feel good
But I don’t know if I should
Consumerism tells me it’s so
But if I cave into that am I letting myself go?

Feeling pretty good so can we throw capitalism away?
Gonna text my grandmother just to say hey
Have an anarcho-communist day hey hey hey

Throw critical thinking away

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)
