Music

Here for posterity will be some songs i've written and other doodlings. They're a few megs each in WMA format, but they should stream quite nicely on most connections.

1. Connect Intro (written and performed by lorna lithgow of Glasgow!)
2. Commonplace
3. Are You Here
4. Connect
5. Love Themselves (instrumental)
6. Going Away
7. Leave Me Once (instrumental)
8. New Way Down
9. Waiting Against Hope (instrumental)
10. Come Again
11. Oh how your love is strong (Bert Jansch)

And the lyrics...

Commonplace

A common waste of time
Giving up to try
What have you left us?

A common place to go
A friend who seems to know
This is the answer

You don't seem to know
Where this fire has come from
Just obey

A common waste of time
Giving up to try
What have you left us?

A common place to go
A friend who seems to know
This is the answer

You don't seem to know
Where this fire has come from
Just obey

Come on, come on, come on you want it
Stay here
Come on, come on, come on you want it
Stay here

Take control
Leave you soul
Lose your mind

In the evening, i'll believe you
In the morning, i will leave you
In the evening

Are you here

I know that you are here
I know that you are here
Let me sleep, don't let me fall
Let me sleep, don't let me fall
It's up to you
It's up to you
Let me sleep, don't let me fall
Let me sleep, don't let me fall
It's up to you
It's up to you
It's up to you
It's up to you
Are you here
Are you here

Connect

commandant, it's the last command
that you need to take
beauty comes, makes you lose control
of the past you made

you don't even think twice
you don't even think twice
you don't even think

she's alright, went without a fight
forced you out of yourself
sadness came, made you take control
of the past you made

you don't even think twice
you don't even think twice

something can connect us
hope remains so clear
something can connect us
hope remains so clear
something can connect us
hope remains so real

Going Away

going away,

i can't forgive you, what you've done
it's too hard to come to terms
with everything you said
how could you lie so mysteriously to me

wasted thoughts in the morning at the bus stop
wasted thoughts in the evening at the tv
wasted thoughts, my wasted life
thinking about you, wish i'd never thought about you
i wish you no harm, i hope that you're warm
but i will never, never, understand

New Way Down

caught up in the city tonight
between all the silent remarks
how hard, could it be to enter your heart
can you see me waiting for you

i heard, everybody's talking about this new way down
you said everybody's starting on this new way down

caught up in the city tonight
between all the silent remarks
how hard, could it be to enter your heart
can you feel me waiting for you

i heard, everybody talking about this new way down
you said everybody's starting on this new way down

the thoughts on the ceiling
thoughts will not end
till they're received, by you, by you, by you

Come Again

hope is such a tired word
your face has woken up this silent dream
oh you, you, must come again

a morning look, a haggered glance
this melting kiss and no thoughts amiss
oh, you, you, should come again

loving you is endless like the wind
loving you is endless like the wind
loving you is endless like the wind
and our screams, they're in time

la la la la la la la la

As someone who has worked for almost 10 years in the field of music copyright it's incumbent upon me to let readers know that contrary to Keith's note, the instrumental "Connect Intro" was composed, arranged and performed in it's entirety by one Lorna Lithgow of Glasgow. I know because I was there when she did recorded it (in all of about 5 minutes) on KP's PC. Keith has been trying to pass it off as one of his own ever since. Credit where credit's due.

See you in court, big boy!!

Regards,
Nasty Marlon

Hi there Keith

This is Lorna Lithgow of Glasgow. "Googling" my name in a bored moment at work and found this site...so I'm guessing you're the friend of Ben Halton's and shame-faced plagiarist of my accomplished work (which I'd totally forgotten about).

If you talk to Ben tell him I said hi and hope he's well. I'll be in London on December 15th playing a show with Franz Ferdinand, he should drop by.

My e-mail is lornagoldie@yahoo.com

All the best

Lorna x
