Charm
03:53

My hopeful endeavour
With imaginary treasure
Conjured up from nothing
But made to seem like all
In that moment you appear
Lose my anger, lose my fear
If there’s magic, if there’s art
Let us never be apart
You’re the object that I seek
You’re divine and you’re unique
Talk of me is obsolete
We together now complete
Wading through the marshes
Swamp up to my middle
How can I recover
How did I end up here
Then some apparition
A lamp starts to glimmer
In that moment you appear
Lose my anger, lose my fear
If there’s magic, if there’s art
Let us never be apart
You’re the object that I seek
You’re divine and you’re unique
Talk of me is obsolete
We together now complete
Je suis sous le charme

River and Sky

Down here by the river
Sitting under trees
The water moves forever
Heading to the sea
Lucky when I listen
Hardly much to hear
Just the fishes swimming
Just the people swimming
Sunlight water colour
Breaking in the spray
Sunspots in my eyes
You look into the blue
You feel the thermal high
You lie among the flowers
Filled up by the sky
Such a cloudy place
The air is often grey
Don’t get many days like today
Never got a chance to know it
Never got a chance to see
But it all comes back to me
Sunlight watercolour
Breaking in the spray
Sunspots in my eyes
You look into the blue
You feel the thermal high
You lie among the flowers
Filled up by the sky

Blaze
03:33
|
|||
Feel it burning, it’s a blinking blaze
Too high temperature from the sun’s rays
Summer hill walking, try to find some shade
Calmer places where the tensions fade
Sound foundation and a wall to take the weight
Feel it burning, feel it burning
Disentangle where the knots are made
Feel it burning, feel it burning
Feel it burning, it’s a blinking blaze

Lifeboat
03:30
|

I’m sending out the lifeboat now
I’m bringing you to land
I’m sending out the lifeboat now
I’m bringing you home
There was a time you could sail away
You’d always find your way back
Find your way back
But recently days
Between a rock and a wave
Can’t tell what is best
What’s the right thing to do
I heard you were lost
In a dangerous place
A fog in the day
Makes the day into night
I’m sending out the lifeboat now
I’m bringing you to land
I’m sending out the lifeboat now
I’m bringing you home

The Next Connection
04:12
|
|||
You’ve missed the connection
Must wait for the next one
Be along soon
Goodbye to the last one
The future being pushed on
Everyone here
A hole where the heart was
A bubble where the brain was
A pause in time
A robot answers questions
Along with the next one
Moving along
He lands on a late flight
Takeout after midnight
Hotel nearby
Lies on the sofa
He’s drinking and he’s writing
All about his day
He’s making his life up
He’s sketching the future
Taking his time
You’ve missed the connection
Must wait for the next one
Be along soon
A hole where the heart was
A bubble where the brain was
A pause in time
You’ve missed the connection
Must wait for the next one
Be along soon, be along soon

Starfish

Sitting there watching
Un Chien Andalou
Eight years later
At three in the morning
Wiping his face
He’s carried away
He’s loving the danger
He’s watching the street
You are not dreaming
He’s climbing the stair
A star in a jar, beautiful belle
The papers are blowing
Down through the street
A star in a jar, beautiful belle
He enters the mirror
Heads they’re all turning
Heads they’re all turning
He looks through the keyhole
He looks through the keyhole
Playing cards at the table
Playing cards at the table
A scar on the shoulder
A star on the shoulder
A mouth in the hand
A mouth in the hand
Leaving no footprints
Off through the snow
Leaving no footprints
A star in a jar, beautiful belle
A star in a jar, beautiful belle
A star in a jar, beautiful belle

Pepper's Ghost

They see in the window in
They’re seeing, they’re seeing in
The darkened room, the darkened room
its fading, its fading
The cinema, the cinema
Keep showing, keep showing
You disappear, you disappear
No longer, no longer here
And there no more and there no more
You’re passing through the door
You disappear, you disappear
No longer, no longer here
The cinema, the cinema
Keep showing, keep showing
You disappear, you disappear
No longer, no longer here

Call to Mind
04:35
|

Breathing condensation
On the window in the dark
Woken by a soldier
At the station yesterday
Lives accumulating
It’s been building to today
Travelling through the ages
Watching photos flying by
You’ve been saving memorabilia
In a folder everyday
To yourself you were a stranger
Never quite could get the whole
We were little children
Picking things to pack away
A suitcase full of seashells
And a feather in the hand
Echoes and Souvenirs
You collected on the way
From a journal to a journey
It’s all neatly stored away

101 Lakeview Drive
03:29
|

In 101 Lakeview Drive
They go in dead, come out alive
The sort of place that mystifies
The sort of place to fantasise
In 101 Lakeview Drive
The door was often open wide
The house attracts the weirdos
There’s someone there they suppose
In 101 Lakeview Drive
If you go in will you survive
You’re drawn to go, go inside
You’ll go in dead, come out alive
In 101 Lakeview Drive
If you go in will you survive
You’re drawn to go, go inside
You’ll go in dead, come out alive

Lifelike
03:54
|

This is the place that we made
Printed it freshly today
Dried out in the sun, in the sun
There’s nothing outside of the door
The windows are painted on walls
Can’t touch anything, anything
Spinning on Mercury-Mars
Travelling out to the stars
Without going anywhere, anywhere
I think you look like a doll
Amazing the features they made
Materials that never fade away
Streamers and flags in the wind
Colours and noises
And horses and voices
And ages you thought had faded away
Generate landscape and sky
Looking so real to the eye
Looking so real to the eye
Whichever language I try
You look at me blankly and I
See that you can’t reply, can’t reply
These are the plans that I made
These are the games that I played
These are the games that I played
Sleeping tonight on a beach
On stones at the entrance to caves
Cut off from land by the waves, by the waves
The only refuge I found
Thousands of feet underground
Where the core glows, the core glows

Esgazette UK
Esgazette is an independent recording project that has been active since the 1980s. It began in London and is now based in Scotland. At the same time both a band with songs and an extensive catalogue of instrumentals. While broadly described as alternative electronic, there is no musical plan for Esgazette. So you may find a pop song next to a piece of musique concrète. Good luck. ... more
