The Mysterious Universe

Keith's collecting glasses, he waltzes across the floor
In his mind he's twenty-one, it's 1954
Karen reads a magazine that takes her far away
The band are playing for twenty per cent, tomorrow's another day
Henry plays the card machine, he's got nothing else to do
The best pool player in the world has just missed his cue
The cars out on the highway they've all got somewhere to go
The music spills out to the street, the barman stubs his toe
... and he says
Things could be better, things could be so much worse
It's all a part of the mysterious universe
The singer's taking it all in but he's running out of air
The guitar player's holding back until he's outta there
The drummer's looking wild-eyed like he's back from a war
The bassist plays relentless, he's seen it all before
... and he says
Things could be better, things could be so much worse,
It's all a part of the mysterious universe
See the blonde girl dancing all alone all through the second verse
As I chord the strings of her mysterious universe
In her eyes I see her lifetime from cradle to the hearse
Bursting with hope for the mysterious universe
No time for wondering who'll be last and who will get there first
Our destination: the mysterious universe
So many questions even though you know they’re just a curse
Won't make no difference to the mysterious universe
Last drinks, we're closing – lights on, it's time to grab your purse
And move out into the mysterious universe
Goodnight, everybody. Pleasant dreams.

CAMEO (by David Levell)
Well here's the sunset we've been riding into
We're out of the picture and I haven't got a clue
And here's the silence after the applause
There won't be any sequels and there won't be no encores
Now some count their blessings, some count their mistakes
Some read between the lines and some pray for second takes
But there's no credits gonna roll across a screen
To tell you who to blame, to explain what things mean
Had a dream in black and white
Shades of grey and day for night
Saved the world with a single fight and I flew ....
Happy ever after one and all
Heroes stand and villains fall
I heard the cavalry's trumpet call, didn't you ?
Well here's the sunset we've been riding into
I hope it's what you wanted, I hope you enjoy the view

LO & BEHOLD (by David Levell)
Lo and behold, lo and behold
All you’ve been sold, only fool’s gold
And it’s shining, and it’s shining and it’s shining, but it’s lying
And it’s shining, and it’s shining and it’s shining, but it’s lying
Lo and behold, lo and behold
Wolf in the fold, breaking the mold
Have you been told? Have you been told?
All of your gold, won’t keep out the cold
Lo and behold, lo and behold
The truth will unfold, about all that gold

SHARE A DREAM (by David Levell)
I'd like to say just what I mean
When I feel beyond the scene
Imprisoned by what might have been
And by what always will
The ghosts of everyone I've lost
They turned my burning mind to frost
I couldn't stop to count the cost
Although I stood so still
And as I sat there on the fence
My thoughts turned back in my defence
Until I felt they made no sense
And I longed to fly free
This mysterious universe
Is half a blessing and it's half a curse
Don't wait for it to just get worse
Whatever will be will be
There's songs of hate and songs of love
And songs that kick and push and shove
Our hopes that fall from far above
And quickly lose their gleam
I'd like to take you by the hand
I'd like to make you understand
That everything I've ever planned
Was just to share a dream

Mysterious Universe Sydney, Australia
Kinda Kosmic Kountry... toe-tappin', shoe-gazin', mind-expandin', spirit-raisin', earthy 'n' spacy, ragged 'n' raw original music.

The View From Halfway Down
by Andy Bell
The debut solo LP from Ride's Andy Bell is charming, fuzzed-out psych-pop with the shoegaze pioneer's signature sense of dynamic layering.
