I was walking in the rain
When I saw her
She passed me by
She was staring at the sky
When she said “it’s you again”
But I've just got this dream that I don’t fully understand
I’ll borrow yours for the night if I can
She said it’s not a game to play
She said it’s not even may

A Week of Wonders
02:55
|

How could she know
Where the path led to?
Where would she go
When she bled too?
But her time
Operates differently
And our time
Flies by indifferently
What do you seek
In a self-drawn cart?
Is this the week
When the house falls apart?
But death
It’s never definite
Just like life
It’s somehow indefinite
What would you dream
When someone’s watching?
And how do you mean
That someone’s watching?
But her mind
Is wandering again
Till she finds
Life against the grain

The Moth and the Beacon

I like the smell of teardrops in the morning
Setting fire to the sun
I like live rounds without warning
And escaping on the run
She wears death’s head on her back
She is all dressed up in black
She knows there is no turning back
Once she puts on the mask

In the Heat of the Night

Always thought I’d be in the streets
Digging up the beach
In the heat of the night of the barricades
We join the parade
The only achievement I can speak of
is that I made you mine
The most romantic thing I can think of
Is crossing the police line
Have you ever been in a city
That is besieged?
In the night of the living dead
You paint the town red
The only achievement I can speak of
is that I made you mine
The most romantic thing I can think of
Is being your partner in crime

Did you see me in the dark?
Did you see me at all?
Did you see me all alone?
Did you take me home?
Got to find a way,
Got to find a way.
Got to find a way to you.
Did you see me in a tree?
Did you see me on a train?
Did you serve me on a tray,
And my head on a plate?
Got to get away,
Got to get away.
Got to get away from you.
Did you find me funny?
Did you find me fun?
Did you find me f**kable
From a certain point of view?

Rear-view

See the headlights in the mirror
You don’t want to go home
Just ignore the driver and you’ll
Be with her alone
Smell like cigarettes but you feel
Like one more beer
After dropping her off you wonder
Why am I here
But you don’t regret any of it
Only the things you didn’t do
Looking back at the wasted years and
What they meant to you
What you sow is what you reap
Living in a tent in a desert
You felt like a king
She was by your side and you
Wouldn’t change a thing
But it’s all over now, baby blue
You’re leaving
Thank you for the days
It’s been amazing
But you don’t regret any of it
Only the things you didn’t do
Looking back at the wasted years and
What they meant for you
What you get is what you see
But you don’t regret any of it
Only the things you didn’t do
Looking back at the wasted years and
What they meant for you
What you are is what you eat

The Urashima Effect

Over the space of a year
At the speed of light
You have lived without fear
Till this homecoming stage fright
When you land
In the land of the meek
Have you heard of Joe Meek?
I talked about him last week
Over the space of a year
Across an ocean of stars
You wish that she could hear
The tunes you’ve been spinning so far
But so far
In her time warping memoir
Feeling like a beehive
displayed in a bell jar
Coming back alone
You’re the only one who hasn’t grown
As she whips out children of her own

Upon a Star

Wish upon a star
Wish she never started
Those who tell her what she must
Are the ones she never should trust
Wish upon the sea
Wish she could unsee
What she’s seen
So obscene
Wish upon a dream
Wish she had screamed
When he said he was
the one that was meant to be
Wish upon her life
As a daughter and wife
With all the deaths she’d died
Don’t wish upon a lie
Wish upon a fire
Wish it never tires
Wish it burns
Till there’s no table to turn
Wish she was alive

You’ve seen her from your radio tower
Into sunset from closing hour
She sings along to the prettiest song
You play it again and it goes dong dong dong
You step down as the satellite jockey
Naturally you ask her what her name is
She faces the sun, the twilight goes through her hair
“My name isn’t a secret but what do you have to share?”
When the song is over, I hope you’d understand
When the day is over, you’ll be holding her hand
When the night is over, your heart’ll break in two
When the week is over, you won’t remember it too
The love that I stockpiled is ready to give away
What more can you want? Apart from the trees that sway
Will you join me at the Neptune’s dawn
"Bring your own booze", said the queen to the pawn
"A year is very long", she said
"A tear is worth a thousand songs", she said
When the song is over, I hope you’d understand
When the day is over, you’ll be holding her hand
When the night is over, your heart will break in two
When the week is over, you won’t remember it too
When the season is over, you’ll be feeling the pain
When the year is over, you won’t see her again

I would like to invite you
To the happening of the year
Song and dance like a plague
Spreading far and near
Have your ever seen a spider
weaving in your bed?
Weaving the dreams of Technicolor
And dances with the dead
Dance dance dance till you’re one with the night
Dance dance dance till they come back to life
Dance dance dance no one gets out alive
Dance dance dance the end is nigh

Dream Console London, UK
Dream Console is a one-person project.
Based in London, Dream Console represents my exploration
into the past and future of music.
Dream Console is obsessed with sounds of days gone by, but these sounds are now recreated with modern technology, hence it’s a hybrid of the analogue and the digital, the old and the new, a dream console.
