i can't see through all the things i see somethings wrong but i don't seem to be in the frame of mind to try and take on this world while all the ground is fake just give me the hope to stay and maybe the will to change a reason to see the day so i can turn the page i can't feel my way through all these tricks something makes me feel the need to fix myself up to see if i can feel some place better than the one that's real just give me the hope to stay and maybe the will to change a reason to see the day so i can turn the page i can't go through all the where i've been something makes me wish i'd never seen all the things the way they are instead of the way they could be when i'm dead just give me the hope to stay and maybe the will to change a reason to see the day so i can turn the page i'm taking a ride tonight i'm taking my time tonight

i tried the usual way get a job and try to make the hours pay i know the truth is real it doesn't matter if the lies can be concealed i saw the people pray there's not enough damn hours in the every day and then the music feels better than an umbrella with wheels i can't find my head i've been smoking in bed don't know what i said i've been smoking in bed i can't find my head i've been smoking in bed smoking in bed i've been smoking in bed don't care what people say just as long as they mean in in their very own way i care what people feel just as long as the people are real who knows what people think who can tell me where to find about the missing link and some things are left unsaid when you could be there lying smoking in bed i can't find my head i've been smoking in bed don't know what i said i've been smoking in bed i can't find my head i've been smoking in bed smoking in bed i've been smoking in bed if there's a reason for me not to then i want to i could be feeling something better if i go through all of the clouds and then beyond where all the snow's blue and there it is, do i remember what i'm supposed to? skip to the hi way, maybe there's a fly way we can tutti frutti 'til the cows come home there's a blue skyway, everybody try playing 'god only knows' when your heart feels low hell no, one go, playing with the hi-lo we can see places that we left for dead let's blow fly, so maybe we can try getting down to the rhythm while we're smoking in bed
3.	15 Speakers (free) 03:23	lyrics	download
i've been thinking while the day's been shrinking and the sky's all yellow with the overplay you've been drinking while the night's been linking with the daytime river of the place we stay no time table will allow us to disable all the pieces of the stereo hell care state mogadon cable is a bubblegum stable where the only thing working is your sense of fate 15 speakers and a bag of old nightmare this thing banging over all the track 7 LP's and a can of old jazz juice i'm on fire in a paraffin mack we've been preying as the sky's been greying and the video's talking to the neighbour's moose she's been jaying 'cos the radio's playing and there's nothing that'll make her even close to loose there's no money and the floor's all runny 'cos the roof's gone speaking to the stars again propane's funny, if your world's all sunny and you don't mind dying while i count to ten, death 15 speakers and a bag of old nightmare this thing banging over all the track 7 LP's and a can of old jazz juice i'm on fire in a paraffin mack

where's the use in sanity when everything you try to be is never even close enough to make you feel sane never ever try to see the errors of your chemistry 'cos we're in preparation for removal of the ground every time you play with me there's something in the sky you see 'cos i can see you playing all your music in the clouds almost wonder why we play the way in which it's all ok 'cos we're in preparation for the analogue sound damn right all night, there must be something in the light all right, too bright, there must be something in the night damn right all night, there must be something in the light all right, too bright, there must be something in the night tell me 'bout the way you know the each and every way you go and all about the way you manage everything cool hell with all the way to go if we don't even try to blow the roof of all the buildings in the cellophane sky show me how to feel the flow of each and every thing you know and then i'll be a pirate in the pallet of your mind maybe teach me how to grow so i can feel my body go 'cos we're in preparation for the party in the sky damn right all night, there must be something in the light all right, too bright, there must be something in the night damn right all night, there must be something in the light all right, too bright, there must be something in the night
10.	Wonder Why (free) 03:26	lyrics	download
when it rains your tears will dry maybe there's some truth in time sun and moon don't seem to be so real so we wonder why when there's love your years will fly maybe feel no need to lie fire and water don't seem real to me and we wonder why tell me all the things you know i would love to see every place your mind could flow although i don't know where it goes do we go or do we stay? will we see the light of day? there's no difference are rights are all wrong when we wonder why when it's bad the fear will play maybe help you lose your way day and night don't mean jack shit to me if we wonder why
11.	Everybody Knows (free) 09:01	lyrics	download
everybody knows, all the sticks and stones you throw won't ever go as far as to, make me even give a shit about you. everybody knows, all the things you say you'll show won't ever go as far as to, make me think of things you want me to. let's get under and under and under and under and under and under and under and under and under and under and under and under let's get under and under and under and under and under and under and under and under and under and under and under and under everybody knows, all the things you say you'll do won't ever go as far as to, make me be the things you want me to. everybody knows, all the ways you stoop so low won't ever go as far as to, make me ever give a shit about you. everybody knows, all the sticks and stones that come my way don't mean a thing to me, what makes you think i'd waste my energy. everybody knows, there's a wind that blows and goes as far as to make you ok then maybe you could be yourself today.

about

'Heron Vs Heron' is the 2nd Long Player from The Artist Currently Known As Heron. If Heron's debut 'The Brown Room' (Virgin/Cracked Analogue) could be considered 'lo-fi' then this one is probably best described as 'lo-hi'.

Maintaining all the elements that make up his so called 'Cracked Analogue' sound, 'Heron vs Heron' is again a mixed up fusion of styles, sounds, beats and vocals. Heron writes, produces and performs all the tracks, with the exception of some incredible guest performances by Dave Westlake (Sneaker Pimps) on drums, Gurmeet Sian on dilruba and Jim Abiss, who co-produces 5 of the tracks. Iestyn Polson also provides additional production on Smoking In Bed.

"I think this is a good record. I don't know if it's a great record but I know it's not a bad record. As far as second albums go, I think it's more accessible than Terrence Trent D'Arby's 'Neither Fish Nor Flesh' but maybe not quite as accessible as Madonna's 'Like A Virgin' LP. Actually it doesn't sound much like either of those records. In fact I don't know why I mentioned them. It's a pretty melodic record with a healthy dose of darkness. But definitely not darkness for the sake of darkness though, and certainly nothing like that band The Darkness. More of a subtle darkness. The kind of darkness you feel when you spend too much time alone thinking how dark things can be."

"It would be nice to think that at least one other person in the world liked this record too though, as that would somehow imply a faint connection with the outside world, but if nobody likes it there's not much I can do about it. I don't expect people to like it but I also don't expect people to dislike it. It's just there to be discovered if people want to discover it. I like the idea of records just finding their natural place in the world. "
