How Many Faces
04:01
|

How many faces I have seen
In real life or on a screen
Not knowing what they are to me
Roads as rivers watch the flow
Who knows where those people go
And I guess I’ll never know
Pass the time invent your life
Imagine what you’ll do tonight
Never spoke or caught your eye
You don’t see me passing by
How many faces I have known
Staying with me as I've grown
They’re all wondering just like me
How to live and how to be
How many faces…
How many faces…
Here a memory then it wanes
Blurring into distant days
Lose the colour lose detail
How many faces…
How many faces…

Recovery Day
03:25
|
|||
Been all the way up to Mars
Thought I could bring back the stars
Swam to the bed of the sea
Where no light would shine on me
Built up and taken apart
Removed my brain and my heart
Stripped myself down to the frame
Starting to rebuild again
Gave away all that I had
They all thought I was mad
Articulated in time
You hear this story of mine
Saying I’m perfectly fine
You’ve heard that covering line
Made myself weak in your eyes
Vulnerable like a child
Sit at the table alone
Reliving things that we’d done
I was still hoping to find
There in the space of my mind
Recovery day
Go a new way
And when I came to this place
There was no sign and no trace
And on recovery day
Go a new way

Easy Idyll
03:34
|

And every bulletin says
It’s been too long
How do you get there
How do you get there
It’s so easy now it’s getting easy now
Well it’s taking you over
It’s taking you over
It’s so easy now it’s getting easy now
Is that a reachable high
Like a balloon rise to float in the sky
It’s taking you over
It’s so easy now it’s getting easy now
Well it’s taken you over
Its taken you over
It’s so easy now it’s getting easy now

Subway station a.m.
I am waiting for collection
To take me to the top
Climbing the stairway
See mist when I look back
Then elevator keeps on going up
Pass through the stories
To the penthouse at the peak
Whose that weighing
Give the green light
A motion detective
Picks up every change
From instinct to awareness
The reflex all lit up
Elevator keeps on going up
Motion detective picks up every change

Ruin And Other Things
03:43
|
|||
This moment leads to everything
The past was changed
And rearranged to suit the day
I always look to see who’s there
Who pays to pull
Who knows the way to buy them all
Of all the ways to influence
Your dirty heart sets you apart
From the consequence
This air will travel all around
You breathe it out
I breathe it in and suffocate
Plants then cover everything
And turn to soil and coal and oil
And other things
A million years pass overnight
I wake up in the sand
And see the light approach
The aircraft lands on desert ground
A dust has rained
And hides the sun and other things
You’re free to ruin everything

Six Steps Down
04:07
|
|||
You notice the sign six steps down
You rattle the rails six steps down
Appearing tonight the magic is done
Coming from nowhere just for one night
You’re hearing the sound six step down
They open the door
Like no place you've seen before
The magic is done
Coming from nowhere
Coming from nowhere
The way that they play that
The way that they play that song
Appearing tonight the magic is done
Coming from nowhere just for one night
The way that they play that
The way that they play that song
The way that they play that
The way that they play that song
You notice the sign six steps down
You’re hearing the sound six step down
The way that they play that
The way that they play that song

The Mysterious Icon
03:39
|
|||
Led you to the cliff at dawn
As the eastern light starts to crack
From a dark blue black
And calling from the stony beach below
And he puts his dark shades on
And the hood came down
And he was gone
And back at home
The power goes down
And the dancing wall
Where the shadows fall
The fire burns
Its just a picture you know
Where does the door go
I’ve never seen it before
Never seen where does it go
And the autumn falls
And the winter calls
Its all closing down
That’s where the knowing go
That’s where they know to go
Stars of the projected show
Shot in monochrome
Where does the door go
I’ve never seen it before
Where does it go
That’s where the knowing go
That’s where they know to go

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
