Domino Effect

By Blynds on January 21, 2022

Gonna start a new revolution
Where people come first again
There won’t be any retribution
For crimes against capitalism
The Neo liberals of this world
Their lobbyists and friends
Take it all and then some more
They want it all for themselves

If you’re in your own little world
Leave her be don’t say a word
Be the better man
Be the better man
Believe her if you can

If I won all the money I’d need
It might not make me happy
I’d spend it on you then
That’d make me smile
Seeing you smile again
Would make me laugh too
And that is just a domino effect

We keep on keeping on
Until we start again
When the sun rises in the sky
It’s a domino effect
Drink around a table
And nothing else to do
But talk about whatever
And dream of loving you
And waiting for that moment
To catch your eye you smile
My silly jokes and words
It’s a beautiful domino effect

Loving Yourself

By Blynds on January 20, 2022

Inside the door of your church
You twist and turn around
Dark side of the moon
Lying on the ground
Orange juice glasses
A scarf hanging down
Eyes roll to heaven
Endless guitar note sounds

Is it all you could have needed
Loving yourself
Is it all you ever wanted
Love from someone else

How does it feel to wake up in a mess
Talking to your Jesus
To who do you confess
Pale skin from curtains drawn
The light burns your eyes
There’s nothing you can say
Now you’ve run out of lies
You fall like a failing lift
Feel the earth beneath you shift
Playing poker you take the risk
One more try One more twist
Then you’ll be out of this

Then you’ll get out of this

Ghost Dance

By Blynds on January 19, 2022

We’re stuck inside this hotel room
Now what are we to do?
We’re overlooking zoo station
Watching giraffes, above the trees
We can watch TV get room service
A champagne lunch, read for a while
Then fall asleep
To the sound of birds feeding

Sounds like a perfect day
If only you were here
It’s just a perfect day
If only you were here

We take a boat along the Spree
Coffee with sugar but not for you
I’m taking shots from every angle of every building
That lifts me with every one of you

Saturday, we go clothes shopping
Along the Ku’damme
Glass and steel and silk
Lipsticks red and perfume five
A Lulu bag and a lucky dive
We get lost in people
I’m never alone without you

Night time comes
We hit the club
Rum and coke
Space age dub
Dancing close to you
Feel your heart beat
In time with mine
Take a chance
Kiss your lips
But you are just a ghost dance

You’re Acting Up

By Blynds on January 18, 2022

I can’t tell you
Who you are
You’re acting up
Like you don’t care
I don’t know
What I did wrong
You’re acting up
And I don’t dare

Start a conversation
I know I’ll never win
You told me nothing happened
Between you and him
I made a mistake
Who keeps score
What we have
Is worth much more

I’m willing to work
I’m willing to change
I’ll win you back
Once again
We’ll fall in deep
Just like before
Lake Placid I’ll break the ice
Around your heart
I’ll push the car
Make it spark

So what do you say?
You want to come along?
I’m feeling lucky
We can go on and on
What we’ve got
Can go on and on

Japanese Girl

By Blynds on January 17, 2022

She’s my Japanese girl
Perfection
Sees things
In a different way
Spends her money
On beautiful clothes
And traveling all
Around the world

I want to follow her to Hong Kong,
Paris, Moscow,
Dublin and Berlin
All year long
If I write to her
She’ll send me a gift
Wrapped in silk
And a friendship Hieroglyph

And when she gets excited
I’ll put my finger to her lips
And say stay sweet
My Japanese girl

On the blossom streets
She’ll run barefoot
Watch them fly up
And join the wind
She’s not afraid to be a girl
She’s happy just to be herself
Oblivious to the waiting world
She’s my Japanese girl

In Sunshine and Shadows

By Blynds on January 16, 2022

You left your toothbrush in my car
Inside your black hold-all bag
I dropped you there one last time
In the usual place
See you in an hour or so
But you never showed

I’m lost in sunshine and shadows
Looking for you in everything I do

It’s a long drive home
Those car trips were good
We would talk some
Then let the silence be
JC playing on the radio
Learned something new every time
The chemist where you worked
Five bob a week after school
Things I never knew

It’s Never Me

By Blynds on January 15, 2022

Wanting to win all the time
Makes you not very good to be around
I saw you on the stairs
The party was over
You smiled at me and I knew
Then he took you home

It’s not me
It’s never me
I’m always there ready to be
Whatever you need me to be

I wrote you secret messages
Inside books you you wrote for me
I tried every trick I could think of
How to win you back

But it’s not me
It’s never me
I’m always there ready to be
Whatever you need me to be

Sitting on the steps
The party’s over
We’re both older now
Our kids could be friends

You tell me you need me
I’m lost for a moment
The moonlight falls on your eyes
And for a second I’m back again.

It’s not me
It’s never me
I was always there
Whenever you need me to be

I’m Hurting Now

By Blynds on January 14, 2022

I don’t know what to say to you
Don’t know if what you say is true
In a white room looking over fields
You make a mask put up a shield

Don’t let them know
I’m hurting now
A man doesn’t show
His softer side

When you’re gone
I can’t tell you how
I loved you then
I love you now, now you’re gone

You’re moving on
trying something new
a different way
a change of scenery

A new hometown to start afresh
Settle down away from us
We can’t meet up
Just get on board a bus

Don’t look back show no pain or anger
We are only passing through this ever after
Hear the echoes of our childhood laughter
Now the writing’s on the wall saying love is all

If love is all and all is love
why do we fall apart
into little pieces
fragments in our hearts

Forever After

By Blynds on January 13, 2022

We’ve got to have fun
Spend the day with each other
Walking hand in hand, laying in the sun,
Listening, kissing like lovers

Well, that’s what we are
Couldn’t help it when we met
Keep our hands off each other
In the lift, in the car, undercover

Don’t take me for granted
Take me as I am
You’re my dream enchanted
I’m yours forever after

So it’s evening let’s go dancing
Have a drink, and meet the gang
Talk about nothing much
Make it fun talking slang

Good Times Just Keep Waiting

By Blynds on January 12, 2022

You can’t go back
You can only remember
The good times we shared
Dancing on bar chairs

So when is the right time
To do it all again
Good Times just keep waiting
Around the corner my friend

I can see it starting to happen
Birds nesting in the trees outside my window
Two by two they fly away together
It goes on forever and ever

Love goes on forever and ever

If you felt it once
You can feel it again
If you’ve come so close
You know it’s gonna happen

Just gotta wait for the right time
You’ll know when it comes
A little bit of something
A whole lot of love
