The Tractor Twitcher Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Deep, David - very deep. What was the inspiration for this? My reaction to it is that I find it unsettling... but interesting! My inspiration for most of my lyrics Jo comes from the plethora of music genres and bands I listen to, and in this case, my own very personal experiences from the last 7 days of my life. I'm fascinated between the contrast in writing ( tongue-in-cheek ) articles and song lyrics and poetry which combine two very different thought processes. Without wishing to sound umbelievabley cringe-worthy articles tend to be written from my head where as lyrics tend to come from much deeper within me, there's much more freedom and less of writing in any specific style when i'm putting a set of lyrics together. Not through choice, I find it so much easier to write lyrics about the more personal, serious and harsher side of reality rather than a cheap meaningless pop ditty about some fake plastic girl I fancied last summer. Although there is a lighter side to some of the material I post onto my blog such as Leeds Festival memories, infamous road trips and hangovers, there's much more on there relating to subjects such as war, drugs, suicide, prostitution, government decisions, social classes and adultery, to name but a few areas of thought. Everything I post on there though is completely open to interpretation, you may draw very different thoughts and ideas from my original very simple premises, which is one of the things I love about song lyrics in the first place. wow i actually like that a lot, not that i know anything about poetry... very thought provoking... Thank you Alex, I know next to nothing about poetry and song writing. I can't read music nor can I play an instrument of any description to the remotest bar of talent, I just enjoy playing with and arranging words to subject matter and bands that inspire and fascinate me at any given snapshot or moment in my life. The last time I actually studied poetry was for my G.C.S.E English Literature exam over a decade ago and I barely scraped a C. Here's something a little bit lighter, my memories in verse from Leeds Festival '09: All My Fault The suffocation of the bearded man The beautician and his dry wipe marker pen, and give a thought to Poo Girl Have come to fruition because of a trawler man fishing for wellington boots The Wakey lads, Liam, Danny, Dave and Lee will not escape either This morning I might just jinx the stereo Whilst Sambuca, Jaegermeister, Beer and Lambrini flows And if you meet Harry Bowman don’t offer him sun cream for his skin tone Just remember Jack needs his shoes back before he starts his next show We’ve got ten more trips to accomplish MKM bags filled with our sweat And Ewan’s parked another week away Just call upon the said quotation We’ll just blister in the celebration whilst we dance to the good nights And we’ll sing all of our goodbyes before it becomes daylight But it certainly wasn’t all my fault I had all my good friends to help me out No it certainly wasn’t all my fault I had all my best mates to help me out Myself and mates Chris and Ewan The Legendary "Harry Bowman" A good idea in thought, not in practice Manchester Orchestra The Main Stage from "Moon Base Alpha" Maximo Park Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of my mates who i've gone with were also there in '07. Glad you like the first one I posted and found it thought provoking, i've at least 3 others to finish and post to the blog in due course, some take minutes, others months.

Massey Boys Mum Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Making our garden more wildlife friendly. This has always been the plan but somehow gets stuck! Decided not to replace the wooden fence with a new one - as it falls, we will replace it, panel by panel, with a mixed hedge. First to go in is some alder buckthorn - food plant for the Brimstone Butterfly. I will let you know if it is sucessful as we have never seen that species in our garden!

MDFord Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 Been busy this weekend in the nice weather. Plated bottom of shed/garage doors after seeing signs of rodent gnawing. Fitted a 6 foot flourescent light in my shed/workshop - so much better to work under than the previous couple of bulbs. Cut up a load of logs with the bowsaw and split them. And some other little jobs for 'er indoors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
