PARADISE
I walked past shops and poles and I kept to my controls
And the world is turning, turning under me
Its dreams will wake up wrong and it sings a foolish song
But it’s our world the only world that’s meant to be
Let me tell you we are here in Paradise
Don’t you know that we are here in Paradise
Our plans lost in our breath and we die before the death
That is watching ever watching through its door
How could you tell such lies underneath these deep sea skies?
How could you let me, let me down once more?
The empire of pain colonising your brain
Is not the world, is not the world you owe your time
And the lives that whisper when will we escape and come again
Are not the lives that ever live except in mime
When your mirror’s clouding over and the wind spits out its ash
And September’s slipping sliding into heat
Just remember all the days that you blessed inside your maze
And the precious, precious life you found complete
You’re asking me for nothing when you know that I can give
Everything that’s left behind beneath my skin
And I can see inside your smile you have known for a long while
That there’s nothing left to do except begin
The traffic and the birds and the people lost for words
As they travel feeling travel in their hearts
They board their tainted trains with their losses and their gains
Needing nothing to go on and play their parts
The hands that long to touch and the hearts that love too much
And the lips don't say enough of what they know
Tomorrow brings its knives and the blood beats through our lives
And there’s nowhere else that we would dream to go

Keep Me Guessing

KEEP ME GUESSING
Keep me guessing every time I ask
That’s my blessing, that’s your task
As I’m assessing the face behind your mask
Your angel’s share is draining the last drop from my cask
Throw to me a lifeline, furnish me a clue
Tell me all you understand, do what you can do
While I guess about the mess of how, what, why and who
Keep me guessing how you float your ark
I’m confessing that I’m in the dark
My feet are soaking in this endless queue
While you and yours march aboard two by two
Throw to me a lifetime, furnish me a clue
Tell me all you understand, do what you can do
While I guess about the mess of how, what, why and who

Some Other Way

SOME OTHER WAY
We’re fools, pawns and tools
Of our molecules
But can there be some other way
We’re shards of the stars
Just gulls on the spars
Sailing our time away
Blood in vein so life can reign
But is it all in vain?
Or can there be some other way
In reverie upon the sea
Of tranquillity
Dreaming some other way

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

Burbling beneath the hazy beauty of the debut solo record from Lush co-founder Emma Anderson is razor-sharp wit and a heart full of rage.

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.
