LAST NEW YEAR’S EVE
Is this our last New Year’s Eve,
Is this our last New Year’s Eve?
Time to do your hair
And put on your best dress
Before we reach the Far-West
We’ll smoke the only air left
Though we stand on the brink,
We’ll rattle that ice in our drinks
Face another break of dawn
Our best clothes still on
On this last New Year’s Eve
On this last New Year’s Eve
The cynics run out the clock
Sneering at their old television
World-saviours, self-satisfied
With their best intentions
Escape the sinking ship of state
To a candlelit bunker
Chase that midnight kiss
Blind to the hand of the great equalizer
Every man, woman and child,
Every man, woman and child,
Every man, woman and child,
For themselves
Stay with me
Until we call this love
Masks will drop
Then we’ll see what we’re made of
On our last New Year’s Eve
On our last New Year’s Eve
Winter-Spring 2020

Let Me Linger

LET ME LINGER
If we circled a crowd as pure strangers,
Sucked the air from the room with mute desire
Would your eyes cross the floor and call me lover
Would you brush against my side like a feather
But before you let your body answer
Please let me linger,
Let me linger
If our steps climbed as one to my door,
Bold, yet shy like the time before
Would you taunt my solitude even more,
Seal my torture with a playful smile
Then say “not yet” with your finger
And let me linger
Let me linger
So deep you’ve sunk
Your nails inside me,
In that old scent of lust
That you left with me
Let me linger
Until your love and flesh
Cover me
(So hold back, don’t hold back)
(So hold back, don’t you hold back
And let me linger)
Now I sit and wait in sad lonely hunger
Until years and days gone by turn to hours,
For what we can’t hide from the naked eye,
For you to lean against me at sunrise
But please deny me a bit longer
And let me linger
Let me linger
So deep you’ve sunk
Your nails inside me,
In that old scent of lust
That you left with me
Let me linger
Until your love and flesh
They cover me
(So hold back, don’t hold back)
(So hold back, don’t you hold back
And let me linger)

This House Of Mine

THIS HOUSE OF MINE
I know my grip is gone
I’m still but Earth moves on
Trying to go straight
Like the moon during the day,
I’m trying to hide away
Testing my faith
Walking home in silence
Running through the motions
One final bow
My cancer of the mind
Leaves riddles behind
Back on the crowd
I’ll take you to this house of mine
We could stay there long after we die
I promise you this time
That I’ll try to get it right
I’m caught up in a state
Taunted by the hand of fate
Lost my way back
I peel off layers of time
Watching cocoons crack
When I hear bells chime
Run, in a garden of white
Free from reason clouding the brain
Run, with me to the light
Free in the morning rain
I’ll take you to this house of mine
We could stay where secrets go to die
And I’ll sing you a song
Where love stays forever young
I’m caught up in a state
At your garden’s gate
Testing my faith
I’m caught up in a state
At your garden’s gate
Let me back in
Let me back in
Let me back in

IN THIS GLOW
Let’s walk together
And widen the distance from home
As the sun sets behind your eyes
And minarets glow by the dome
Let’s walk together
Watch royal cats stalk the twilight
As the unknown stretches for miles
And prayer chants die in the night
In this glow, in this glow,
In this glow
Looking so bridal
And your smile
Lights up the temple
In this glow, in this glow,
In this glow
Spellbound together
Where ancient smoke curls to the ceiling
Above the dry carpeted scent
Of ceremonial rings
In this glow, in this glow,
In this glow
I swim in a dream made of sand,
Of exile in a strange land
In this glow, in this glow
In this glow
Let’s fly together
Somewhere behind my defences
Minarets are getting smaller
As they shimmer in the distance
Shimmer in the distance

Another Canadian band I recently fell in love with, and decided they need greater radio play on my Gothic radio show 'The Darkside'. Like DBB from Montreal, they too are cut from the same bolt of cloth as Siouxsie & The Banshees - classic old school Goth! Goths check them out! You'll luv them to death! Scene Noir and DBB contact me on Facebook under Madame Ravencroft - I like to interview you at a future time! You need greater ears on your mastery in the music genre of Goth! Congrats!
