Don’t know where to start
don’t where to stop
got to settle on something now.
Don’t spend too much time
don’t like to have to wait
I just do this and that, nothing to write about.
You talk there all the time
broadcast into the night
nobody’s listening in tonight.
Not sure what its got
not sure what it do
I paid my money but I’m not sure what,
what is it that I get?
I’ve never seen it start, never seen it end
there always something better
but I’m not sure what
(......ho ho ho hey)
Don’t know where to start,
don’t where to stop
how much of the same
can you pile up on your plate?
Don’t spend too much time
don’t like to have to wait
I paid my money but not sure what
what is it that I get?
You talk there all the time
broadcast into the night
I just do this and that
nothing to write about.
Not sure what its got
not sure what it do...
I’ve never seen it start
never seen it end...

Unique ID

Behind the thorny wall of the hedge that grew
‘til you’d blocked them out
It was just yourself.
Little light comes on, just a glimpse of life
Well it either fits or you make it fit
Well you can’t really look at the things I see
And you’ll always be a mystery to me.
And I cannot place where I saw that face
and I cannot place where I saw that face.
In that heavy coat that you drag around
with that bag and case.
Where the woman sits in a big black car
does she remember the place
can she say what she saw?
And I cannot place where I’ve seen that face
and I cannot place where I’ve seen that face.

I Met You in Space
03:59
|
|||
Looking at the galaxy around
it’s a city lit up at night.
I was on my way in my rocket ship
‘cross that never ending sky
now I’ve circling round in orbit and I’m looking for, looking for somewhere to land.
I met you in space
you came from light years away
but I hoped you would stay.
I met you in space
we were living worlds apart
you came from a different universe.
I saw you where I saw nothing there before
conjured up like a face in a cloud.
I connect the dots and all the stars join up
and when I’m done I see you there.
I met you in space
you came from light years away
but I hoped you would stay.
I met you in space
we were living worlds apart
you came from a different universe.
Well, distance can be so great
what I’m seeing now
has already been and gone.
I met you in space
you came from light years away
but I hoped you would stay.
I met you in space
we were living worlds apart
you came from a different universe.

Night Bus
03:28
|

Looking back but standing still
all that space that I filled
empty days piled on top
whether I move or whether I stop.
Duplicated endless road
faintly glowing moving globe
not many people in the seats
mostly we just fall asleep.
Motor sound as hours pass
There a bridge or underpass
now and then a light will flash.
Short time stop at the edge of town
engine sleeps and then it wakes
rumble past the bus moves on.
Tall man rushes to the front
heading to the closing door
he fell asleep and missed his stop.
Looking back but standing still
all that space that I filled
every day piled on top
whether I move or whether I stop.

Passing Through
04:19

He wears a mask to breathe
an armoured suit of sorts
He can’t take the air
this harmful atmosphere
protected from it all he tries to move among.
It was just passing through
what will he turn into?
All that stirs inside of you
he wonders do you feel it too?
He knows what lies within
that game he couldn’t win
where if you fail you lose
they shrug and steal your shoes
make your asylum here
your sanctuary now.
It was just passing through
what will he turn into?
All that stirs inside of you
he wonders do you feel it too.
What once was loud and clear
the past it whispers now.
It was just passing through
what will he turn into?
All that stirs inside of you
he wonders do you feel it too?

What I find in my mind
now you grow and the seeds blow
watch a bud become a flower.

Send Me A Hologram
03:48
|
|||
Single star, diamond blue
imagined head can’t see you
visible light, halo moon
fiction light, soundless tune.
Hearing sound that’s not around
hidden hand, touch that sound
fiction girl, crimson hair
tall dark man lives nowhere
In reverse from death to birth.
Favourite things, airborne love
make it real, make it go
night vision eye, turn it on
new device, turn it on.
New device turn it on
turn it on….

Another Life
03:43
|
|||
Tried to think what I’d like most
tried to live again
With all the choice there seemed to be
to find there was no choice.
If I was born later that day
if I lived somewhere else
If I’d chosen to stay that day
or if we’d never met.
The rain still falls
the sun still shines
the tide goes in and out
it feels too real to stand and see
what my trouble is about.
Running rings around me now
to see what I have done
to find a new perspective here
the eye that sees itself.
The rain still falls
the sun still shines
the tide goes in and out
It feels too real to stand and see
what my trouble is about.
And while I try to analyse
the world it carries on…

Don’t know what to do
body feels so tight
I can feel my worries gather in the night.
Got to get a grip
when I reach I always slip.
This room was all new but I hadn’t moved
the feeling it changed, the feeling it grew
the sight and the sound were drifting around
same old place in a brand new light
Thoughts keep circling, circling ‘round my head
This room was all new but I hadn’t moved
the feeling it changed, the feeling it grew
the sight and the sound were drifting around
same old place in a brand new light.

Off The Map
04:51
|

Modern days
no one would really want to go there
I’m a slave, attached to all these distractions
what’s the difference between me and you?
well you live in the past
and I’m gonna go there.
Travel for days, moving upriver
switch off the phone, never go home
dig a hole in the ground, bury my past
travel for days, losing those ways.
Just time, that’s what different from mine
so slow, I let the days come and go
go slow, I watch the paint dry on a wall
so slow, I draw circles in the sand.
Like the tribes of Brazil
like the New Guinea people
find how to survive.
Travel for days, moving upriver
Off the map, leaving no trace
its as if you never saw my face
moving along, moving upriver.

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
