lyrics

ARE WE NEARLY THERE YET?

Just after leaving home,
(We're barely out of the drive):
Are we nearly there yet?
If I've heard it once,
I've heard it a thousand, I bet.
‘No, we should be there by five.’
But it's only one o'clock!
‘Yes, I said it was a four-hour run!
Just play with your game, son.
We'll be there before... too long.’

So, we trundle on passed the shops,
Round the roundabout, passed plots
Of land for sale. Then the motorway,
Heading West for a Cornish bay.
We go every year for a holiday.
And every year: Are we nearly there yet?
I bite my tongue so as not to get upset.
‘I told you five minutes ago how long to go!
So it's now THREE HOURS FIFTY-FIVE,
Or thereabouts, until we arrive!’

Comfort Songs
by Cloud

I'd have to eat a thesaurus to describe the wonders of this album! It's neat, great, thought-provoking, comfortable on the ears, beautiful, sublime, poetic, oh and rather musical... STEVE.E

Salem's Bend
by Salem's Bend

Salems Bend is three guys who must have bleeding fingers considering the passion they play with. This is an album of modern rock with tough, grinding guitar sounds, tight drums and bass. STEVE.E

Ethereal, gorgeous, fabulous, alternative, superlative, moody, groovy, mighty, alrighty, sad, mad, crisp, clean, lean, a dream... buy it! STEVE.E
