Welcome to the underground
this is the place we make the sounds
that no one hears
We write those songs you think you've heard
but can't quite place, in other words
we're pioneers
Some of us thrive on rejection
we see through different ears
Some of us strive for perfection
Some of us make believe
we're already there
So, welcome to our lonely rooms
this is the place we paid our dues
when they say don't
"Perhaps this wasn't meant for you"
"Perhaps you should go back to school"
...perhaps we won't
It's true we don't make much money
but still we'd like to be clear
At least we're not trying to sell you
something we ourselves
would not want to hear
So, welcome to my mortal bliss
where dreams find wings in 4 track hiss
then fly around
On dusty wings and crinkled tape
the poison songs each pollinate
a face of frowns
Unless you're planning on sorrow
the future will only let you down
I'd trade in all of my tomorrows
for an extended stay at the here and now
Because if I touched everyone on earth
I would have very little worth
in the underground
A true hidden treasure of a song writer. This gent has been capturing songs in demo form on old tape recorders since the 80s. . . and he's still capturing his magic sounds in his secret basement. Damien Youth
