Chemistry 04:12

The Chemistry Music I Packman, Lyrics Chris Rollason, I Packman Waiting for a queue that never comes (Standing) in the line of least resistance Hard counter to the window on my soul, it says position closed it marks the pass of every moment The Chemistry of dying Colours Changing over time My future shrinks, my past is growing it's leaving me behind The fabric fades, old colours melt away Captures all our days, escape forgotton The world is rushing at you, faster than the naked eye can see We close our eyes or look away The Chemistry of dying Colours Changing over time My future shrinks, my past is growing it's leaving me behind If nothing last forever what's the point in going on at least I have found the wisdom of where I was wrong Aching void, ommisions from my soul watching people make the same mistakes So I write a list of all the things the things I should have done I wasted time on being young

New Opportunist Music C Rollason, I Packman. Lyrics Guy Lawton I thought I'd never learn till my dying day The art of getting my own sweet way 'Cos around these parts, arts a dirty word And words make all the difference all the difference in the world He couldn't take a hint So I'm talking with my fists I'm making a point to the New Opportunist I don't suffer fools Especially tonight I'm alcohol fueled and about to ignite He floated into town, like wind blown litter Now he's floating face down at a bend in the river I can predict, he won't be missed 'Cos no one saw the New Opportunist So what if tomorrow Brings unusual weather I've done all I can to hold us together There's all you can drink at the wedding reception And the cops help themselves to another deception If you wanna leave let me tell you this You'd better give my love to the New Opportunist

21st CSM Music and Lyrics C Rollason. Always Argued my limitations Never argued against my fears Always questioned my way of thinking Never looked ahead, ahead with hope Always restless and impatient Never rode the waves of delight Always worry too much about nothing Never relaxed, nor had some fun And I'm turning into the thing I hate the most High ideals, but I'm not even close I seem complete, but I'm thinking that I'm broken Turning into the 21st Century Schizoid man Always bottled up my emotions Never held back all the rage Always leaving too much unspoken Never edgy, too highly strung And I never had fun as a child Nervous wreck, behind my smile Happy go lucky or so they say Feel inside like I'm the living dead Hiding secrets, hiding lies Tortured soul, crimson disguise Torn between my wants and needs I bare this soul for you to need

about

The vast majority of this was recorded in the first week on November 2008. The rest of it over the next two years.

Chemistry is one of those songs that exceeded our expectations.

New Opportunist features again the wonderful Clare Francis on backing vocals

New Opportunist lyrics were written, by Red Star Radio guitarist Guy Lawson.

21st CSM is a reworking of the old Hair Thieves tune, 21st Century Schzoid Man. No, Rollasoc was unaware of the King Crimson song when he wrote it.

Reverie Part 2. Yes there is a part 1. We might even finish it at some point.
