    The world of tomorrow… shaped and informed by the people, places and things from our past. Backwards glances at a sepia life. Who we thought we’d be, where we thought we’d end up and the things we did in the innocence (and often stupidity) of youth are a large part of this release. In the post-punk landscape of the very late 70’s into the new wave of the early 80’s, analog synths, 808 drum machines, vocoders, futuristic noises from another dimension were a part of the sonic landscape. Nights (and days) spent in San Francisco in pursuit of the elusive high of new music, friendship and love, from various indie record stores (and the much beloved and missed Tower Records), to small clubs, ballrooms, bars and a former ice rink (Winterland), are part of the DNA that led to this point in time. The world of tomorrow is here today…

about

When someone you trusted and believed in stabs you in the back and betrays you

lyrics

We were Friends, until we weren’t
As you torched the bridge that you burnt
Dancing naked on the last ember
Never forget, I still remember

You act so nice, but you like to play rough
So demure, but it’s really a bluff
Oh so quiet, with a Cheshire smile
Those dead eyes, with no beguile

You see conspiracies because you conspire
You never learned to balance trust and desire
Lies with reinvention, at every turn
Those helping hands you so easily burn

Consolidating power, the golden shower
That you rain down upon your friends
The person you portrayed, the games that you played
You can never make amends

Bridges Burnt

A life of pleasantries is what you are after
When you leave the room, do you hear the laughter?
I once wondered, why you were alone
The fallow field of friendship that you’e sown

An empty life, searching for that wife
Or a lapdog for your vanity
A dark and twisted view, of everyone you knew
A slim grasp on sanity

Consolidating power, the golden shower
That you rain down upon your friends
The person you portrayed, the games that you played
You can never make amends
