Safe And Sound

(Free Deeks)

A cynical look at the members of Western Society who purport to have our interests at heart, but who have their own agendas. There is a sneer in the delivery at politicians, lawyers, bankers et al who deceive us with fears of instability and play on our insecurities.

The politician's on the 'phone
Said she'd bring the hostage home
Said her hands were tied, but she'd do what she could
The hostage elected to stay 'cos he knew where he stood

The lawyer's standing in his briefs
He's got the bit between his teeth
Said he wouldn't bite the hand, but he ripped it right off
His wife said that she won his love, but had to pay costs

Safe and sound
Safe and sound
Safe and sound, we are
Safe and sound

Like a glutton with a bone
The MP wants another home
The brief might bend the rules to win a trick
They struck a deal to feed the rich and fleece the sick

The bankers really couldn't care
We're less important than their share
The customer's only right when they want us to be
We get an overdraft, they get a bonus and their fee

Safe and sound
Safe and sound
Safe and sound, we are
Safe and sound

Safe and sound
Safe and sound
Safe and sound, we are
Safe and sound

Awayday

By Free Deeks

An 'Awayday' ticket used to be a cheap way of travelling on British Rail and was a way of getting away from home, the return part of the ticket not being used. My character in this song has left home to prove a point (perhaps, infused with the feel of the old stories of the man who leaves to make his fame and fortune). Unfortunately, my character doesn't reach his required level of achievement and decides to find another way out. This character is a composite of a number of people I've known in the past and the outcome, a reflection of what might have happened.

Two Dead Rattlesnakes (On Morning Star Lane)

By Free Deeks

A couple of years ago I spent some time in Mariposa, a small town in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada in California. Each week the local newspaper would publish a resume of the incidents, provided by the County Sheriff’s Office, that occurred in and around the town during that week. In this song, a member of the Sheriff’s Office has discovered that his wife doesn’t love him anymore. In the first part he is leaving to get to work, he’s in the car, listening to the radio and thinking of what had been happening. The second part is a list of his work during that week that will end up appearing in the local paper. Life in its mundanity and sadness.

Whodunnit

By Free Deeks

The trusty ‘whodunnit’. The book that has fascinated and filled people’s empty hours. We all like a mystery and this is my précis of the genre. Like music uses twelve notes to create a myriad of songs, crime fiction conjures up a million twists to a limited number of plots.

More Than Our Lies

By Karlo Čavlović

Society is crumbling down as the only thing we're ever really hellbent on is looking good in the eyes of others. We try to create a perfect image of ourselves while our true personalities rot behind the masks we wear.
