Forget All That You Know

Forget all that you know
Don't believe just what you're told
Find it out on your own
Forget everything you know
Your corner of the chaos is the corner you keep clean
(Keep your eyes wide open...)
Around the next corner you may find the next big thing
Big things can be pots of gold or monsters from the deep
Stairways into Shangri-la or tripwires for your feet
Forget all that you know
While I breathe I hope
Dum spiro spero

Riddle
05:01

Waiting for words to come
Like trains to a station
Looks like I've missed them all
And I'm just sat on the station wall
These thoughts I cannot stop
Turn to words that I cannot speak
Because you've heard them all before
I heard someone sing them just last week
Would you remember if I sang you a riddle now?
Will it all matter in a thousand years away from now?
Looks like I've ripped this song off
Without even noticing
That really pisses me off
I just hope that you're not noticing
Would you remember if I sang you a riddle now?
Will it all matter in a thousand years away from now?
I've got too many songs and they're all much too long
And they don't make much sense and they make no difference
And this one has got words that I've not even heard
I just sit here and pout 'til they come tumbling out
And it's all in my head
And it's all in your head

Aftermath

Stand them all up in rows
And then you watch them fall
Telling them where to go
Don't listen when they call
Telling them that you know
But nothing said is true
Then you'll be laying low
When they come back to you
They come back to you
They come back to you
Oh, in the aftermath
Leave them hanging out to dry
Oh, in the aftermath
Leave them hanging on the line
Oh, in the aftermath
Telling them what to do
Tell them not to fear
When their nightmares come true
You will disappear
Stand them all up in rows
Then you watch them fall
Telling them where to go
Don't listen when they call
Listen when they call
Listen when they call
Oh, in the aftermath
You leave them hanging out to dry
Oh, in the aftermath
You leave them hanging on the line
Oh, in the aftermath
Oh, in the aftermath
Leave them hanging out to dry
Oh, in the aftermath
Leave them hanging on the line
Oh, in the aftermath

Mysterious Roads
04:32

Streets so hot they will melt your mind
Paths so high they are hard to find
Into the sky on these electric stairs
Above the clouds there is no-one there
But you
Drink so strong it will blow your mind
Hard to trace this disappearing time
Buildings melt and become nowhere
This liquid stone I just stand and stare
With you
The light is twinkling on the clear blue sea
I wave at you and you wave at me
Tonight we'll put on our bestest clothes
We'll go wandering down mysterious roads
Shadows darker in this dazzling light
Tiny streets where daytime turns to night
In deep halls that never see the rain
I stand waiting on these freezing trains
With you
The light is twinkling on the clear blue sea
I wave at you and you wave at me
Tonight we'll put on our bestest clothes
We'll go wandering down mysterious roads
We'll go wandering down mysterious roads
We'll go wandering down mysterious roads

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.
