Dont Waste My Time. From Songs of the Week (vol. 1). Includes unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more. Buy the Full Digital Album. This is a silly song that plays off the expression I cant get arrested. I confess it was written in frustration with spinning my wheels for so long in the music industry. :0. DON’T WASTE MY TIME. In the dirty alley. Behind Sam Wo’s Launderette. He flashed his badge and sat me in his unmarked Coronet. I could not disagree.

Everything thats happened up til now. The typewriter tapping in the background. Up all night again. Everything in all imagined time. Molecules dancing in rhythm in rhyme. Nothing happens at all. Throw on that dress. Somebody asked you to the ball. And the sonnets and the stories. And the planets and the stars. Songs of the...

If We Were In Love. From Songs of the Week (vol. 1). Includes unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more. Buy the Full Digital Album. This is a new version, an improvement on the original demo and in a slightly higher key. We sat there talking. The car still running. Neither of us noticing the time. And even in the dark. I saw it in your eyes. And each time you laughed. Just when I laughed. I had a thought I almost thought was real. This is how wed feel.

Its my attempt to write a fun dance song for someone else to sing. BABY STOLE THE MIRROR BALL. Its dark in the dancehall. The starlight is gone.

https://weeklysong.bandcamp.com/track/22-heaven-never-closes
From Songs of the Week (vol. 1). Includes unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more. Buy the Full Digital Album. You walked in with your thrift store shoes and no chance. And you lost your head to the retread with the implants. Woke up on a table. Lipstick on your collar. And your arms around a sailor. Remember where you are. Set em up and knock em down. All the worlds a bar. And every days another round. Were dancing and were singing. So wont you come.

Show Me Something True. From Songs of the Week (vol. 1). Includes unlimited streaming via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more. Buy the Full Digital Album. I wont stand to be the victim of a cruel joke. While you hang around and dangle all your false hope. Move that way you do. Take it on home. Or show me something true. I wont take another puff of that pipe dream. Telling me things are all they seem. Its all they seem to do. But you could still surprise me. No, I suppse.
