I SMELL A FIRE by Laddersley
I smell a fire, I feel the heat
I hear a liar, I see a cheat
My senses feel the pain, for this dying game
Waste is the flame, pollution is the shame
Your life is a blast, running on a looper
Crying for the past, denying the future
I’m just the messenger, fighting the absurd
Extinction threatens, rebels must be heard
Zealots you can’t trust, buffoons who can’t adjust
Ideas fall like dust, waiting to combust.
Are we a creation in a simulation
or are we a mutation heading for damnation?
I hear a liar, I hear a liar
I see a cheat, I see a cheat
I smell a fire, I smell a fire
I feel the heat, I feel the heat, I feel the heat, I feel the heat, I feel the heat
CRAZY TRILOGY by Laddersley
Please conjure up for me, someone I’d like to see
Soft and carefree, my fantasy
We could fly to the stars, maybe stop off at Mars
Play with our guitars, or write our memoirs
It is a bright and magical day, I just want somewhere to play
Thinking all these random thoughts, of meeting up with crazy sorts
Crazy thoughts, crazy minds, crazy people, crazy time
Crazy thoughts, crazy minds, crazy people, crazy time
Crazy crazy crazy crazy time
As the dreams fly by
I’m really flying high
Strange twisting rainbows, that really rock
Whirling Dervishes, spinning like tops,
Nothing slows, anything goes
I want to blow my mind, see life on rewind
Flying through my life so kind, so blind
Let’s swim beneath the waves, exploring all the caves
Splash on our after shaves, for midnight raves
It’s a bright fantastic day, I just want some magic today
Thinking all these random thoughts, of meeting up with crazy sorts
Crazy Time
BREAKING FREE by Laddersley
When you first meet, they’ll look really neat
All sweetness and light, funny and bright… O-oh Yea
They get on well with everyone you meet,
A fun loving guy, dancing to the beat…O-oh Yea
You can’t see what’s on their mind
Are they cunning or are they kind?
Are you running or are you blind?
Time passes quickly, you’re always on the go
Your friends become people that you used to know O-oh No
They’ve only just started, they’re biding their time
The clues are there, but you’re not aware……O-oh No
Can you guess what’s on their mind?
Are you fair or are you kind
If you could you bet you would….
Let the sun shine in ………………..your mind’s in a spin………………….….
You’ve here to win …………………..for you own kith and kin………………
Lose you misery………………………make it history
You’ve got to break free…………….to get your liberty…………….
Break
You then get hitched, with a baby on the pad
Then after a while you know your being had….O-oh No
It’s no to the kitchen and no to the bed
you just can’t see what’s in their head……O-oh No
It’s pretty clear that you’ve been lumbered
Help me someone, my days are numbered
Are you a dummy or have you just blundered?
Let the sun shine in ………………..your mind’s in a spin………………
You’re here to win …………………..for you own kith and kin………………
Lose you misery………………………make it history
You’ve got to break free…………….to get your liberty…………….
Let the sun shine in Let the sun shine in
You’ve got to break free You’ve got to break free
You’ve got to break free You’ve got to break free
You’ve got to break free You’ve got to break freeeeeeeee
LIFEBOAT by Laddersley
We’er here staring at a lifeboat, staring at a lifeboat looking all at sea,
It seems like the world’s gone mad, gone mad,
And we’re sinking into anarchy.
Verse 1:C Dm F C F G7 F C F C
Where are our leaders, where have they gone?
Turned into fakers, each and every one.
And the big corporations, with their money pots,
Messing with the people, calling all the shots.
Chorus 1…….
Verse 2:
Our age is over, no use denying,
Our way of living wil be our way of dying,
If we don’t change things, Oh can’t you see,
There will be no future, there is no planet B.
Chorus 1…….
This is the news.
Super hurricane Charlie, the 4th to hit the east coast of the USA in the past 2 years
has caused extensive flooding, devestating homes, and making over 2million families homeless in Florida alone. It is feared that most of the coastal areas have now become uninhabitable.
The Covid 33 Pandemic, now in its second wave, has infected well over 200 million people worldwide, and appears to be much more deadly than previous coronaviruses. This coupled with the persistent drought in many parts of the world, has led to serious food shortages world wide, and many millons of climate change refugees.
In other news, Robbie Williams celebrated his sixtieth birthday by receiving a lifetime achievement award at this years 2034 Grammies
Verse 3 Children sing:
We are your children, please put us first,
We want to live, on this beautiful earth,
You have the knowledge we have the thirst
We must bring harmony, and a lasting rebirth.
Chorus 2: All sing
We’re still staring at a lifeboat, staring at a lifeboat, making lots of fuss
It seems like the world’s gone mad, gone mad,
So please come and rescue us.
It seems like the world’s gone mad, gone mad,
You must come and rescue us
You’d better come and rescue us.
