Unfortunately my accordion strap broke, but another one is on the way, which means I'll be writing more accordion songs, but for now the piano will have to do.

first track on album 'spilt milk', but copyright shmoppyrights. right? rights.

and someone asked for the lyrics:  

drag your feet, keep your life strapped to your shoulders.

if you don't carve your age into your belt, you wont get any older

it's a mixed up masquerade, a penniless arcade

every face a frown, oh what a crazy town

hang your head, they'll steal the toes right off of your feet

you're lucky to count all ten, when you're living on the street

its a story thats been told, a body thats been sold

'round and around and around. oh what a crazy town

(see) joy around here comes in a little pink balloon

and if you got out of here yesterday it wouldn't be too soon

it's a cardboard palisade, a pocket change brigade

every way is down. oh what a crazy town

Second track off of 'Spilt Milk'.  Have at it!

lyrics:

Nothing like a good ol' beating

to make a proper fool out of me

I've taken a torch to everything i own

and shamed my family.

I keep a will in my back pocket.

Another one is tucked in my boot.

And if you're lucky enough to see me coming,

don't hesitate before you shoot.

But I'm gonna go to church on sunday.

Make a proper fool out of me.

Lord, let me make it to sunday.

To wash all of my sins clean.

I'm gonna disappear in the evening.

Take flight before the sun bleeds.

And don't ask the sky for no reason,

or shake me down by my trail of rosary beads.

There's nothing you can pray I aint prayed for

nothing you can say I aint heard

no morning I don't wake up shaking

God damn I hate that mocking bird.

But I'm gonna go to church on Sunday

-make a proper fool out of me.

Lord, let me make it to Sunday

to wash all of my sins clean.

Okay, so this is extremely rough like most of my songs except 30 million times more. But I literally recorded this and put it up here. If people want a more polished one I'll re-record it. So yeah, I wrote this I think two years ago. It was the first real song I ever wrote. ever. I recorded it, and then my computer crashed and it was lost, and then I came back across it recently, and so here it is again reincarnated! Enjoy! By the way: Not for anyone's child. I don't have kids, because i'm only in highschool! So, yeah, just to clear that up.... Lyrics: Sing to the wind above, sing to the stars can you hear the voice whispering in your ear, Chorus: Sleep rest your head close your eyes and dream your life away (x3) Sing to the stars Look how beautiful they are Sing to the stars above Sing your lullaby Chorus

I know Wirrow said he didn't like his singing on this track

but i thought it was beeeautiful. So I just sang along! 

I think it would be pretty if we got more soft singing on this

& made it like a chorus. 

<3

mmm I love this song.

LETTING GO OF ALL FEAR I OPEN MY HEART AND REMEMBER MY LOVE FOR YOU....

Metaphorest beautiful poem put to music. The guitar, vocals, cello and shaker were done by myself and the other shaker and the drum was done by my brother Dougie Mackie aka Fameless. Producer: Dougie Mackie Recorded through a radio Mic I couldnt find a shaker around the house so I made one out of a medicine bottle, cocoa pops and sugar. The drum was a big cardboard tub with a plastic lid. haha. Seems really odd. If anyone wants to put a harmony on top you are more than welcome!

Had this tune in my head for ages and Joe's words fit perfectly. Et voila! Kept it simple so do add whistles and bells and voices as well!

And happy pre-birthday Joe! <3
