Nonsense songs
At the top of your lungs
Fine imaginary times
Find imaginary times

The Plot (Thickens)
04:41
|
|||
The plot’s been lost
It’s been mislaid
We can’t seem to get our story straight
It’s not the plan
The one that came undone
We’re always looking for another one
We’re going down
We’re spinning out
We’re plundering the shadows of our doubt
It’s not the plan
The one that came undone
We’re always looking for another one
It’s not the plan at all
The one that came undone

Mumpsimus

You stand ready for the fight of your life
But you're wrong and you know nothing at all
Your enemy's a ghost to lay the blame on
You may be wrong and they know nothing at all
I watch the North Atlantic lightning on my telephone
Fragile webs of conurbations
Give their human glow
Holding open your mind
Why choose a side
You choose your team and you find a hill to die on
But you're wrong and you know nothing at all
Your opinion doesn't mean I can rely on
Things you say if you know nothing at all
I watch the North Atlantic lightning on my telephone
Fragile webs of conurbations
Give their human glow
Holding open your mind
Why choose a side

Between the air and me
A synergy
And my gravity
Asking how to be ?
The possibilities
I will sing the sea
Just feel the breeze
Asking how to be ?
I will sing the sea
My time, time for me
How fine, to sing the sea
Feel the breeze
Feel the beach's beat
Just feel the breeze
The possibilities
I will sing the sea
Just feel the breeze

Too Warm
06:38
|
|||
It's too warm to be so cold
You're too young to feel so old
It's all wrong to be all done
So forlorn to be all gone

Trying
04:07

He says he's got a lot
Of love to give
But he keeps it for himself
Says he is a one
Who loves to live
But not with anybody else
Trying to do something, don't know what to do
Let alone make it good
Trying to do something, don't know what to do
Let alone make it good
So self-contained
Sometimes you cannot get out
And I know the feeling
From trying it out
Trying to do something, don't know what to do
Let alone make it good

Bone Tones
05:23
|

Endless variation of the
Shapes and composition
The random cruelty we find
Charging this reality
Endless variation of the
Shapes and composition
So luminous and free
So limitless and free
We are the data
Rearrangement of the letters
A-ment range re-let
The ofters are we the atad?
Time will change the tones and the
Tones sound through your bones
Bones move through the time and the
Time will set the bones
Time will change the tones and the
Tones sound through your bones.
Tones, tones
Moving your bones
We are the data
Rearrangement of the letters
A-ment range re-let
The ofters are we the atad?

Drama Drama
05:16
|
|||
You should save your drama
For what will really harm you
Wasting all your energy
Stretching your credulity
Shadows and straw effigies
What will you believe?
Please be still my beating brain
My bleeding heart, my conscience strained
Fracturing reality
Stretching my credulity

Seawolves of green
In the aquamarine
Columbus: he named their brotherhood
When Cortez came, he killed them too
Order of the water
Caribbean Brotherhood
Seawolves of green

Jamie Flett Glasgow
Music maker from Aberdeen in the North East of Scotland, now living in Glasgow.
Since my first collection of skewed,
folkish blues songs: ‘Cold But Bright’ I’ve tried to resist the artificial limitations of defining myself as a ‘singer-songwriter’ (admittedly, while writing and singing songs.) This has resulted in attempts to investigate some remoter sonic territories.. As well as more songs.
