i decided that it was about time i gave you poor people a break with the loading time of my page and actually wrote something that did'nt contain quizzes. it's hard to believe, i know, i can hardly believe it myself, but here i am, doing it. wow. anyway, over the weekend, matt and i wrote the second of our 5 part song writing commitment. we are going to write 5 songs, record them onto tim's four track and send them to blank tapes which is a guy who will basically put anything on his compilation cds. i mean anything. we have one of his compilations and.....yeah....we have a really good chance of getting on there.
a few weeks ago i previewed our first song, slight of hand. the words are a bit changed around now, and theres an extra verse, so its actually more of a song now. it wont be our first single. it's too slow and a bit too sad. we still like it though.

slight of hand

never saw you till you went away
grabbed your things and headed for the train
bracelet fell from your wrist to the floor
i picked it up i wish i could have more

part of you is mine
always with me, always on my mind

now every face i see today is yours
i picture you behind unopened doors
but in my dreams i guess you'll have to stay
at least that means you'll never go away

part of you is mine
always with me, always on my mind

circle small, don't want to stretch it
won't fit for me, your hands are smaller
you're slight of hand
slight of hand

and our second song which we wrote on the weekend is going to be our single. well, we're thinking of releasing a double a side and doing most of it ourselves. my idea is that we buy a big sheet of card, im thinking a nice piece of recycled, hand pressed paper, and cutting it on the guillotine at matts work, then folding it into a pocket for the cd, and then a cover, and stamping something on it, or using the cut out star i've got, or something like that. and if we use the star, i want to put the star that we punch out in the packaging somewhere.
our band is called prickle, and i want to call our first ep pretty and sharp, but matt doesnt like that. it's not like he's coming up with any ideas of his own though. anyway, second song.

(you could have had) every girl in every school

i thought your car was really cool
so did every girl in every school
i saw you once at the deli up the street
every day since i hoped that we would meet

punk rocker EH boy
had a denim jacket
and a wicked smile
never met a boy with eyes so blue
and a car that still judged speed by miles

speed by miles

i bought a mars bar to be just like you
i kept the wrapper till it faded through
its just the stupid kind of thing i do
trivial treasures of my crush on you

punk rocker EH boy
had a denim jacket
and a wicked smile
never met a boy with eyes so blue
and a car that still judged speed by miles

speed by miles

waited on the corner for you to drive past
thought about waving but you went too fast
waited on the corner for you to drive past
thought about waving but you went...too...fast

on the last line, matt wants to put an effect of a car driving past really quick so it sounds like i really do miss him.

hee hee

well, i tried my hand at a bit of um, you know, cant think of the word right now. lets see if it works
