Dead Clown 04:38
I found a dead clown sitting at the bar, stalker walker on the rocks with a half-smoked cigar. Well he drunkenly abused me, said I'd never go far so i stubbed his smoke and drank his drink and put him in my car. He was a dead clown, heading straight down. When somebody thought, hmm he's been gone for a while, they caught him talking to vegetables in the grocery aisle, he said: "I need some of that black aspirin, drink a whole bottle, do my best only then, won'tcha put me to the test". Dead clown, heading straight down. With his arms in his coat and his hand on the pocket and his eyes on the chemist door. With that one-way ticket to remove the remaining blemish holding back from the dreams he had before. To the town he wants to belong, and all the fire in his eyes. For the one he now can't have, shows his ways through the perils of desire, for the maid she threw in the anchor and all his memories, she hurled in the fire. He was a dead clown, heading straight down. Temptation temptress, tempt me with your timid tremble Well I shoulda, and I woulda, I fucken coulda. When you're a pusher, you're a begger, with a story like a dregger. Even the legit ones with a shop for their stuff, go against the book so that they can make enough. Delivering the fishes at 3am, bringing in the wishes through the atm. Dead Clown, heading straight down.

Mafia Man 05:31
I had a dream last night, I was a mafia man Lived in a great big house with mafia plan Come from a shadow land, raised with a gun in hand I got a secret plan and a dark woman Bear these scars upon my face Teach them children where to play Family ties caught me in threads Turn me against an old friend

Perfectibility, perfectibility, plasticicity, are we really what we are? Perfectibility, perfectibility, plasticicity, are we really our true nature? Perfectibility, do we have stability Improvement emotionally but can you give the quotient please Perfectibility, do we have stability Plasticicity you're rocking my electricity Perfectibility, do we have stability Improvement emotionally but can you give the quotient please We can intensively rewire, creatively inspire, hopefully aspire to climb to a higher... Improvement development, emotionally eloquent Improvement development, in the fundamental element Improvement development, emotionally eloquent Development of movement, emotional improvement Culture relevant, emotionally elephant Training the development of the cerebellum Well I realise the irony I bring it back to binary The system needs development to stop mental confinary Improvement development, emotionally eloquent Culture acquisitional, enrichment circumstantial Drifting with the cultural, perfectly natural Change demonstrational, overly influential Drifting with the cultural, perfectly natural Improvement development, emotionally eloquent Sing for me, play for me... Expression of depression be necession to improve that emotional recession, resist that emotional regression, cause the damage might be permanent, attachment to maternal power, child don't cower In the period critical life can be a little bit emotionally analytical Expression of depression be necessity, to remove that emotional recessity, shining through like a recessive gene, so baby please express for me, express for me.... Don't frustrate try to communicate... Our relationship can benefit with velocity if we both exercise a little bit of reciprocity.. Make yourself available to comfortability, learn yourself awareness to your own plasticicity, you won't regret it see, ride the release with fluidity. The system needs consistent development to find you in your element The system needs development to find you in your fundamental element. Sing for me, play for me...

Alone in the garden with no clear way Here comes the worry what will people say Without your magic I'm lost like a drip Roll off the leaf and let reality slip I'm losing the sunshine now where did you go I shrink to bacteria unable to grow I slip in the puddle and trip in the mud I crawl through mandalas in search for above I foresee the end now our time has come Over compromised I'm ready to run In light of the memory I'll break the cake No winners feast just this bitter taste Feeling so normal just the way that it is Your disapproval the burn the guilt Time to move on I need a vulnerable space To process emotion embrace this change I roll I choose this path Now where will it go I seek I try I learn How can I go wrong

about

Some new music some old.
This February 2017 I release this music with immense pride! A first feat for me with some new technology that has enabled me to produce my own tunes beginning to end. Much happiness this bringeth me! With the newer tracks 'Perfectibility' and 'The Way That It Is' I set myself a challenge of recording all the parts to finishing production in one day. Thanks to Ableton Live the production side of this is possible, and thanks to years of practicing and not giving up, the performance side is possible. The other tracks involved some lovely collaborations with 2 awesomely talented friends. I plan to reach deep in my sack of old tunes and record more of them soon!
Please pay as you feel, share and enjoy.
Thanks for listening.
Tommy
