Human Nature

Life is always unforgiving
This is nature tooth and claw
Love is never everlasting
With what you have you still want more

Doing right is never easy
Always there’s a price to pay
Doing wrong is always dearer
Yet it seems less hard that way

Sometimes it seems really hard
I know, you see, I’ve been there too
You need to always fight temptation
To yourself you must be true

Ask yourself what’s going on
Just take another look around
Think to yourself “just what’s so different"
Maybe you should slow things down.

Bunny Boiler

[The bubble’s burst, the poison flows
Flay him with your vitriol
If words won’t make the hurt subside
Only blood will satisfy]

Enter the hidden, the dark in your mind
Watch as your reason begins to unwind
Picture the torment you ache to inflict
Step over the edge and dive in the abyss

Found dead in his bathroom
No one could explain
Who strung him so high
That his blood fell like rain

You smile to yourself
And remember his fear
He begged and he cried
But you ended his tears

And still it's not over
You’ve found out her name
Its high time you taught her
Love isn’t a game.

Bunny Boiler was also titled 'a woman scorned' It was written for a band idea I had just before Incubus became big over here.
The idea was for an all girl band (who played instruments) called Tempra-Mental (debut album was going to be called 'Time of the month' or 'Birds of Prey)
My mate Tim, a graphic designer had worked up some lovely band logo's for us - very crystalline and easily transformed into merchandisable jewelry etc.
The plan was to have a singer/ rapper combo with a dj/ keyboard player, drummer, bass guitarist and a rhythm and lead guitarist. And look - not a year after I had all this starting up, out came Linkin Park. Metal wannabe westlife gits.
I was gutted. The drummer had pissed off back to Devon (it's hard enough getting a decent drummer as it is without expecting them to be female as well) My co-singer had started a rather nasty drug habit - something I totally disagree with and the rhythm guitarist decided to feck off to Mexico and fall in love with her online gf before swanning off to Spain to stay.
So this blog is actually named after a failed band idea that I still think would have made a KILLING.
We'd even planned out the first scandal *grin* I had the whole thing charted out. We even thought it'd be a cool idea to hand out raffle tickets to people as they were coming in to a gig, the idea being that for the encore - instead of doing another couple of songs, we'd do a pick out 5 people at random using the tickets and they'd be up on stage with us while we did our last number before being dragged backstage to party.
Every band has a gimmick... ;o>
