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

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

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

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

about

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
