London sucks
and it’s sucking me in,
I’m stuck stuck stuck,
get me an over-priced gin.
How will I find my way out of here?
Did you find your way out of here?
It's a drowning crowd
(Move on, move on)
The noise is like spikes
(Move on, move on)
Turn your music up as loud as you like,
but the howling is louder
the howling is louder
Round and round the under-
ground and round the under-
ground and round the under-
ground and round the under-
Round and round the under-
ground and round the under-
ground and round the under-
ground ground ground ground down.
They don’t care about you
(Move on, move on)
Just the work that you do
(Move on, move on)
Just the rent that you pay
(Move on, move on)
They will take, take, take, take
take, take, take, take
Round and round the under-
ground and round the under
ground and round the under-
ground and round the under-
Round and round the under-
ground and round the under-
ground and round the under-
ground ground ground ground down.
It's a drowning crowd
(Move on, move on)
The noise is like spikes
(Move on, move on)
turn your music up as loud as you like,
but the howling is louder
the howling is louder

Made of Maybes

Hey there, lady made of maybes,
what are you afraid of?
Is it me, is it you, is it them?
Everyday you walk the same way,
With a smile vague and faded.
Are you happy, are you hoping, are you numb?
You don’t have to be the same as yesterday.
Is your routine just a blanket covered cage?
If you dream and wake up screaming
and you’re scared you’ve lost the meaning,
dry your eyes, stand up tall and let it fall.
Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall.
Hey there, second-hand man,
do you still have that plan?
Is it tired, is it broken, is it done?
Everyday you walk the same way,
play the same songs, play the same games,
Are you happy, are you hoping, are you numb?
You’re too old and yet too young to just have fun.
You forgot you ever tried to catch the sun.
If you dream and wake up screaming
and you’re scared you’ve lost the meaning,
dry your eyes, stand up tall and let it fall.
Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall.
Finally, you’re your own person
with your wallet full of curses
Are you hungry, are you hurting, was it fun?
Everyday you walk the same way
but you don’t see past the pavement
Are you happy, are you hoping, are you numb?
Did you sell your treasure map for fool’s gold?
Cos it’s only now you start to feel the cold.
If you dream and wake up screaming
and you’re scared you’ve lost the meaning,
dry your eyes, stand up tall and let it fall.
Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall.

Autumn Warmth

You're my autumn warmth,
my red, my orange and gold.
You’re my autumn warmth;
I don't feel the cold.
You’re my autumn warmth,
vivid like fire while the year grows thin and old.
You're my autumn warmth,
my red, my orange and gold.
You’re my autumn (autumn) warmth;
I don't feel the cold.
You’re my autumn warmth,
vivid like fire while the year grows thin and old.
And I'm all wrapped up in you
and the sparks dancing
through all that you do.
And I'm all wrapped up in you,
my autumn sky, my stars
And my night.
You're my autumn (ahh) warmth,
my red, my orange and gold.
You’re my autumn (ahh) warmth;
I don't feel the cold.
You’re my autumn (ahh) warmth,
vivid like fire while the year grows thin and old.

Winter Girl

Hey winter girl, don’t leave me behind.
Remember our gold, summer days?
Wish I could know you’d be fine, winter girl.
Hold on for spring, hold on tight.
Are we all hypnotised?
Bright spiders crawl in our eyes.
They lure and they tantalise,
spinning our thoughts into icy, white webs of cold lies.
Hey winter girl, look the past is behind.
Breathe in the birdsong, dance in the breeze.
Too much work striving, we're not gonna thrive.
Hold on for spring, hold on tight.
Are we all hypnotised?
Bright spiders crawl in our eyes.
They lure and they tantalise,
spinning our thoughts into icy, white webs of cold lies.

Don’t mute the music in you.
The music so quiet, quiet and blue.
I heard it coming from you.
Music so quiet, quiet and true.
People will do
all they can do
to quiet the music in you.
Music so quiet, quiet and true.
I heard it coming from you.
Don’t lose the music,
don’t lose the music,
don’t mute the music in you.

Emma Slattery Singapore
I want my mind
to think in ink. Sometimes I forget what I want to say so I write, I draw, I sing, I
play
books plants paint lace flowers ribbons winter paper acorns
Liverpool girl Oxford woman Sliding on the surface of Singapore
I escaped the evangelical hatelove mindset but it stained me through
So many questions to ask but sometimes all you can do is whistle, then whittle yourself new
