I won’t play no lingering death scene Don’t need no final chance to explain In my own peculiar way….I’ve said everything that I wanted to say You don’t want to hear it all again I hope it’s just like turning off a light Flick a switch down deep in my brain One minute I’m here….then the next I simply disappear You knew me once but now you can’t remember my name CHORUS Oh, I know that the end is coming And what happens next don’t leave me afraid Just make this last cut sharp From the bright white light into the dark But please don’t you ever let me fade Don’t ever let me fade When my song has gone on long enough When the time has come to stop Don’t let me go too far, repeating again and again from the last four bars You’ll help me out if you pick the needle up REPEAT CHORUS BRIDGE Remember me when I was in my prime Not lonely, falling slowly down the mountainside If this is to be the day Don’t let me die away REPEAT CHORUS © 2011 Robin Tymm 24th July 2011

Everything Has Changed 03:15

This room’s how I remembered since I saw it yesterday My stuff’s just where I left it, neither moved nor rearranged Someone stole all my possessions and replaced them with the same Nothing’s diff‘rent, but ev’rything has changed You can’t see it with the naked eye in the cold, clear light of day But at some subatomic level it’s all twisted out of shape It’s somehow eerily familiar and extraordinarily strange Nothing’s diff‘rent, but ev’rything has changed BRIDGE My clothes are where I dropped them in a heap upon the floor The empty bottles tell the story of the night that went before I don’t recall what happened in the moments after you went walking out the door INSTRUMENTAL Is the result of some intoxication muddying my brain To think that all I’ve ever owned’s been surreptitiously exchanged But it don’t feel quite like it used to, there’s no essence that remains Nothing’s diff‘rent, but ev’rything has changed BRIDGE My clothes are where I dropped them in a heap upon the floor The empty bottles tell the story of the night that went before I don’t recall what happened in the moments after you went walking out the door Exactly what has happened here I wouldn’t like to say Each of my belongings has been altered in some way Hidden in the minute details there’s a truth that is betrayed Nothing’s diff‘rent, but ev’rything has changed Nothing’s diff‘rent, but ev’rything has changed Nothing’s diff‘rent, but ev’rything has changed © 2011 Robin Tymm 23rd April 2011

Crimson 03:55
lyrics
buy track
I’m on your doorstep waiting Won’t you please invite me in It’s not your body that I’m after It’s what flows beneath your skin Oh, I crave that crimson beauty With its taste as sweet as sin Got to feed this curse and quench this thirst Before it all begins again CHORUS I fear that this might kill me That this drink might fail to fill me That for once it will not still my beating heart How I wish that you could help me I’m not quite dead but I might as well be I need a love that time can never tear apart Through covered doors and windows Always a little light gets in The sun’s my only other weakness Burns like fire upon my skin Now I’m on your doorstep waiting And we both know why I came ‘Cause you’re bleeding on the inside I hear it pulsing through your veins REPEAT CHORUS BRIDGE Underneath this night’s dark cover We all live off one another By the moon we are consumed REPEAT CHORUS © 2009 Robin Tymm 22nd November 2009

Melissa 04:02

CHORUS Oh, sweet Melissa, I miss her Though it’s been years since I mentioned her name I thought if I tried to I’d get by without you But I need to see you again So I never moved on from the day you were gone Seems like everyone saw it but me But what did I care if I was going nowhere When there’s no place I wanted to be Through all of this time you’ve been there in the back of my mind No, your flame never flickered and died Now I’ve seen the way, shining as clear as the day And it’s something that can’t be denied REPEAT CHORUS I have been lonely, but you’re the one and the only No other has taken your place I paid a price, I consider it no sacrifice If you say I’ve not left it too late Now I walk through these rooms that are filled with the traces of you But no chances of letting you go Before this day ends and finally darkness descends Here’s the one thing I want you to know REPEAT CHORUS I thought if I tried to I’d get by without you But I need to see you again © 2011 Robin Tymm 29th September 2011

Cloud Burst 05:12
lyrics

Black clouds bearing rain First drops on the window pane We’re getting ready for a reckoning? Feel that rumble, hear that sound And watch the needle start to tumble down Another thunderstorm begins CHORUS Clouds burst, heavens open Dry land will soon become an ocean Who thought that the sky couldn’t cry any more? Forked lightning, thunder crash Has Armageddon finally made it here at last This raging river’s gonna break its banks for sure Mountains tremble, earth quakes The windows rattle and the ground shakes A raging battle’s going on out there Howling wind and driving rain It’s a super-cell, a twister, it’s a hurricane Feel the panic as the static crackles through the air REPEAT CHORUS Perhaps we should have recognised the warning signs Instead of waiting ‘til we heard the siren’s whine So bite your lip and hide your fear And pray we make it out of here....in time REPEAT CHORUS This raging river’s gonna break its banks for sure This raging river’s gonna break its banks for sure © 2007 Robin Tymm 10th July 2007 / 14th February 2010

Any Day Now 04:02

Any day now I’ll get out of this bed I’ll be sure on my feet, I’ll be right in the head The cracked and the broken are mended, any day now Any day now I’ll be quitting the booze Resisting the urges for lighting that fuse The old ways are yesterday’s news, any day now CHORUS Any day now they’ll be setting me free I’ll have served out my time and earned my release Any day now when these feelings have gone I might pick up the mail, maybe answer the phone There is no longer nobody home, any day now Any day now I’ll forgive and forget Make a break with a past that is filled with regret I will try looking forwards instead, any day now CHORUS Any day now they’ll be setting me free I’ll have served out my time and earned my release Any day now I will wash myself clean I won’t give up on you if you don’t give up on me BRIDGE Any day now I’ll grow tired of this running Don’t know quite when Oh, but I know that day’s coming Any day now I’ll stop building these walls Burning these bridges and digging these holes For reasons that nobody knows, any day now Any day now I’ll try shedding this skin Peel back the layers to reveal what’s within If I only knew where to begin I’d do it any day now CHORUS Any day now they’ll be setting me free I’ll have served out my time and earned my release Any day now this water will wash me so clean I won’t give up on you if you don’t give up on me I won’t give up on you if you don’t give up, don’t give up on me © 2011 Robin Tymm 24th February 2011

I Won't Be There 03:43
lyrics

In times long gone by I would be by your side We could bring on the night, we could hold back the tides But all that came before when you cheated and lied Look around, I won’t be there I’d be the shoes on your feet and the bed that you’d lie on The hand that you’d hold and the shoulder you’d cry on But I won’t be that fool you can always rely on Look around but I won’t be there CHORUS I won’t be there when you call out my name The days I’d come running they won’t come again When you’re feeling alone, in the depths of despair Look around, I won’t be there We lived in this house as a man and a wife I would lay down my cloak for you, lay down my life But the words that you spoke were as sharp as a knife Look around, I won’t be there REPEAT CHORUS You can count on me, I won’t be there BRIDGE You’ve had chances to change but you just didn’t care Now you’ve used up more lives than a cat has to spare Oh, you took me for granted, like water, like air Look around, I won’t be there Look around but I won’t be there You talked of forever, together we’d grow old But the past holds no proof of how the future unfolds It’s my continuing presence I choose to withhold Look around but I won’t be there REPEAT CHORUS Look around but I won’t be there You can count on me, I won’t be there © 2012 Robin Tymm 8th January 2012

Sometimes 04:14

I know I shouldn’t but lately I’ve been thinking about you In idle moments you’re the first thing on my mind Then I remember a time before I was without you I don’t suppose you ever think of me sometimes CHORUS I wish I’d said those things I didn’t say....sometimes I wish I’d kept my word and changed my ways....sometimes I wish I’d tried my best to make you stay....sometimes I said I wouldn’t but lately I’ve been trying to find you Haunting places that we used to go just looking for your sign Every now and then I feel I’m standing right behind you I don’t sup-pose you ever feel like turning ‘round sometimes CHORUS I wish I’d said those things I didn’t say....sometimes I wish I’d kept my word and changed my ways....sometimes I wish I’d tried my best to make you stay...........sometimes BRIDGE What I really need is to leave these memories far behind To clear my mind and say goodbye this time Oh, if I could only let you go Sounds easy but it’s not you know I can never quite forget you though....sometimes CHORUS I’ll still wish I’d said those things I didn’t say....sometimes I’ll still wish I’d kept my word and changed my ways....sometimes I’ll still wish I’d tried my best to make you stay....sometimes Sometimes © 2009 Robin Tymm 18th January 2009

Bridges 03:49

I….don’t want to need you I know I must leave you Before I get in too deep You….were not like the others You got under my covers And you kissed me to sleep CHORUS There were just Too many bridges to cross I asked you to risk too much Just by holding your hand But to break with your wedding vows To pack up and leave with me right now Wouldn’t feel right somehow And I understand I….sounded my car horn In the midst of a rain-storm And stood out in the street You….sat back in the shadows The rain on your windows Ran like tears down your cheek CHORUS There were just Too many bridges to cross I asked you to risk too much Just by holding your hand But to break with your wedding vows To pack up and leave with me right now Wouldn’t feel right somehow And I understand It wouldn’t feel right somehow And I understand © 2007 Robin Tymm 26th June 2007

Public Enemy No.1 04:11
lyrics

I drive a gas-guzzling car that I’m sharing with no-one Its huge carbon footprint’s destroying the ozone They’re calling me public enemy number one I buy way too much food, shop for more every day Watch it rot in a bowl before I throw it away They’re calling me public enemy number one CHORUS So while my behaviour’s a tad anti-social There’s no need for you to be so damn emotional Should I be resented? I’m just a little self-centred, that’s all I avoid paying taxes while breaking no laws I use loopholes to hide all my money offshore They’re calling me public enemy number one I’m too busy to wait so I push into queues Means I give and I take my fair share of abuse They’re calling me public enemy number one REPEAT CHORUS BRIDGE I’m no neighbour from hell, I’m no binge-drinking hoodie I’m not Reverend Green with the rope in the study I’m no third-world dictator nor Alphonse Capone If you don’t like the way that I live you could leave me alone I’m lazy, I’m workshy, claim benefits instead So the government pays me for staying in bed They’re calling me public enemy number one I believe charity ends and begins in my home Therefore what’s yours is mine and what’s mine is my own They’re calling me public enemy number one Yeah, they’re calling me public enemy number one © 2009 Robin Tymm 19th February 2009

Killing Time 04:21
lyrics

There’s just not enough in this little town To make someone like you wanna stick around You were always talking of getting out That’s something that I'd never thought about Perhaps I might have said that I'd come too REPEAT CHORUS But I’m the one that stayed behind Where you left me is where you'll find me I doubt these days that I ever cross your mind I tell myself that I’m doing fine But all I’m doing is killing time And that's the plan 'til something better comes to mind I’m just killing time Before it kills me I kinda like that not much happens here And nothing really changes from year to year My life's been stuck in second gear I never reached the speed for breaking through the atmosphere What’s it like out there beyond the great beyond REPEAT CHORUS BRIDGE Yeah, I once had dreams and I once made plans Just like everybody else And maybe one or two survived But I keep 'em to myself REPEAT CHORUS Before it kills me Before it kills me © 2006 Robin Tymm

Unfinished 03:57
lyrics

It’s a book on the shelf whose last chapter the author never wrote It’s a symphonic masterpiece suddenly run out of notes It’s a movie cut short ‘cause there’s no final scene to be shown It’s a picture abandoned before the main character’s drawn CHORUS Unfinished…..there’s a missing piece Sent before my time and incomplete Unfinished…..never reach the end Always unfulfilled and unexplained Unfinished It’s a journey began whose destination will never be known It’s a game that we started where no final whistle is blown It’s a question unanswered, a thought that remains unexplored It’s your words left to hang in the air like an unresolved chord CHORUS Unfinished…..there’s a missing piece Sent before my time and incomplete Unfinished…..never reach the end Always unfulfilled and unexplained BRIDGE Unfinished…..this will never stop All those i’s to be dotted and t’s to be crossed Forever ongoing without ever knowing the cost Of…..being unfinished INSTRUMENTAL CHORUS Unfinished…..there’s a missing piece Sent before my time and incomplete Unfinished…..never reach the end Always unfulfilled and unexplained Unfinished © 2012 Robin Tymm 16th February 2012

Four Walls 03:51
lyrics

The simple plan had failed and lay discarded on the floor I’m getting old and I’m not prepared to do this anymore You don’t deserve to hear my songs I don’t deserve to be ignored Was I naive to think I’d play and they would come? I really did believe, now I believe I got it wrong So now it’s time, bring up the lights Reveal the audience has gone BRIDGE I’m going back to where I started, at least it’s not too far to fall A little bruised and broken-hearted that’s all I will write my songs for no-one Sing them out to these four walls INSTRUMENTAL The people that once knew of me will one by one forget I’m sure they’ll find their dose of misery from somewhere (place) else instead I hope the years will let them hear it all The way I hear it in my head BRIDGE I’m going back to where I started, at least it’s not too far to fall A little bruised and broken-hearted that’s all I will write my songs for no-one Sing them out to these four walls I will write my songs for no-one Sing them out just to these four walls © 2010 Robin Tymm

about

This is my 7th album of original songs, recorded at home from October 2011 to November 2012. People leave my songs with the overriding feeling that they're all melancholic and depressing, but I hope there's enough wry humour buried deep down in the lyrics to amuse those willing to dig a little.
If you download the album and pay a little extra to cover p&p I'll happily send you a copy of the CD for your collection.
Robin.
