Wild Blue 04:11
You were the snake Telling me to love her You curled your tongue Around my heart All alone in the Garden of Eden My Valentine She was a fruit to behold In the wild blue (Make desert places blossom) (Maid of mine you are) (Queen of the earth My love) Squeezing the smoke From your old cigarillo Kissing the lipstick Off the rim of your glass I found love in the Garden of Eden She took my eyes and She laid me down [chorus to fade]

Gold spilling out on the waterway Kids lining up along the bank to play Oh what a picture I blinked and a missed you uh huh Steam spilling out of the dragon's nose One for the road and away we go Laughing in the wine bar A son of my father I am There's a pretty girl who hides behind The smallest of the taps it's a London Pride She drew me a picture I blinked and I missed her uh huh Happiness in a bottle Happiness in a glass Happiness in the way you laugh Oh To the wine bar To the wine bar To the wine bar we shall go She was the child with the sunken eyes A shot in the arm and the second prize Hey what's your number I'll see you in the wine bar uh huh Don't leave me here in the trench to die Too far away to hear the chorus girls cry Have another drink sir I blinked and I missed her uh huh [chorus] Come on, we're a force at work Come on, I'm the last place you'll look Get out, I've got a life to lead Get out, just pack your bags and leave

One more for the road Man I feel blue The longest journey I ever rode Don't you feel a little twinkle From a distant star? How cold and sad you are You catch fire too easily You can't walk on the water She may just be a nobody But she's a proud man's daughter Now we're all alone Breathe in the darkness I'm feeling pretty lucid but I'm far from home And I will still be dancing with a broken heart How cold and sad you are You catch fire too easily You can't walk on the water It's time to get some therapy I am not your doctor She may be a nobody But she's a proud man's daughter Well if through love we can save Then you can save your breath From when your eyes scowl To the hour of death If you're gonna ride the wave then ride it Ride it to the grave From the bottom of my black boot sole soul I can see the world It's a sticky mess of holes Where the light burns through Burns through And makes its sweet hole in you You untouchable pearl You teasy little tricky girl You love it when I curse the world I stamp your name on the earth every time I birth a new song about us I am a free bird I am as free as a bird

Start A Fire 04:08
Where the hell am I you ask I am gone and I'm not coming back Two long years I walk the earth No phones, no pets, no cigarettes The working man covers the world in snow So start a fire Wherever you go In the cold bright sun of winter In the rivers and the rain I am headed to Alaska And I'm not coming back again You'll find me In my magic bus (Hi there little rainbow You're the apple of my eye When you're higher than the weather Alexander Supertramp You're a brave man and I'll miss you) Take a ride with this wise man Look around but don't look back So lay your head where the wind will blow And start a fire Wherever you go [chorus] In warm light of the summer In the mountains and the mist I am going to Alaska And I am never coming back You'll find me In my magic bus

I’m a few years older than you thought I’d be by now but you should have known my hair would grow grey. That doesn’t bother me, you force yourself to say though I can see through nostalgia-glazed eyes. And all you see in me Is the man I used to be Before the world Leaned its heavy years On my shoulder And all you see in me Is the tragedy Of what it means To grow older. There’s a remembrance etched into your retina which tells the sad story of a man with a melancholy gaze. You’ve a dark spot baby in the middle of each eye which unravels all you say about what you see. [chorus] One foot in front of the other You're too old to be told One foot in front of the other You're too old to be told

Sleep tight little moonbeam You're the cat who got the cream She came out in her new dress All aglow and all a mess A bright light from an open grave See the way she forms the waves Standing where you left me Lost in sunshine found in rain Hollywood is waiting for me You can dream too easily To cut a long story into eighths Think of all the beautiful things we hate One day we will run away One day, one day Sleep tight little moonbeam All the skin the planets shed Check out baby's dress now Dark and soiled and black and blue You fall down and you stay down In the mud where you belong [chorus] You felt for me in darkness To vanish is what I do best You came to me on your wedding day You said I can't do it Let's run away

about

For once I have not bitten off more than I could chew. I have bitten off just the right amount and I am chewing well.

Six songs for those lost in the wilderness.

Make desert places blossom.

Feel free to download this album for absolutely nothing. I just want you to have it. If you do choose to contribute that would be extra wonderful and I will put any money I make towards getting some recording equipment which isn't for toddlers or from the stone age.

about

Sam Brawn Hampshire, UK

My name is Sam Brawn. I am a musician of sorts. I try and make things sound different, but with over 7 billion people in the world (and let's say 800,000,045 of these are musicians) that is sometimes difficult.

Nevertheless, I spend every shower and bedtime thinking and writing and humming so that I might give you something new.

Thank you for listening. You are quite wonderful friends.

Sam
