  • I've been listening to At The Water's Edge - very impressed, really like it. Has a sort of Lou Reed / Velvet Underground feel to it - good songs, quite quirky and unusual, thoughtful lyrics and some stand out guitar playing! Brian Hurrell, Wychwood,

POSTCARD SONGS

Dark Star

(Shearer)

Travelling through time and space
Looking for somewhere to belong
I didn't really notice your face
Until you started to sing your siren song

Subliminal messages follow in emails and texts
My imagination taking me further into the vortex

Head spinning, spinning, spinning around
Caught in a whirlpool
And it's pulling me down

Dark Star
That’s what you are
Dark Star
That’s what you are

This asylum, the only port in this storm
On the dark side of the moon
Full of hearts scratched and torn
Full of inmates not immune

Over the PA you broadcast details of your ebb and flow
Maddening us lunatics with your innuendo

No matter how hard I try
There's no escape
And I just want to get high

Like a cat with a mouse
You’ve played me as if in a game
Now I’ve got more chance of kicking crack cocaine

Dark Star
That’s what you are
Dark Star
That’s what you are

I’m just another casualty
Pulled in by your gravity
You made me feel I was one in a million
But now I know I’m only zero in infinity
