about

The words to this song originally came from a very strange event that happened to me many years ago in Liverpool. City centre. I went home and wrote a rough version of the song. I wrote the music to this song in February on my mac in Garage Band using the keypad to play the notes.
When I was going through my lyrics book, these lyrics just seemed to pop out and offer themselves to this track. The words have a modern meaning to them as much as what happened originally. I think society is going down hill and society could end up in serious trouble if we are not careful.

lyrics

Only at Night

Only at night, out on the street,
Shadows seem to dance,
To the sound of the beat,
A cigarette glow, shows empty dark eyes,
Devoid of emotion,
The face never cries,

Do you know about them,
Do you feel, do you care,
Society’s destruction, is waiting out there,

The bright flame of youth, is fated tonight,
Darkness is burning and claiming the fight,
Where do they come from,
Where do they go,
Away in the shadows, so they don’t show,

You know about them, but you never care,
Society’s destruction, is waiting out there
