about

Track 4 of Black Sky Thinking

lyrics

Now you’re alone, tied to the bed
All of his beautiful words spin round your head
Talking aloud, though you can’t understand
Why the sound of your voice seems so distant and sad
But what else can you do? He’s the one who comes home to you
Someone to love
Hanging around while he takes it outside
Taking the punches when he’s got no-one to fight
When there’s no-one to trust, nowhere to run
Keep your eyes to the floor and your lip buttoned shut
It’s your own stupid fault, you deserve what you’ve got
Someone to love
Who wrote this script for you anyway?
Sometimes a heartbeat is all that it takes to escape
Let him close his eyes we’ll make him understand
That tonight he becomes a single man

Beyond The Static
by Nick Piunti

supported by 11 fans who also own “Someone to Love”

Nick Piunti's third album confirms the idiosyncratic talent of this musician who keeps churning out fantastic power-pop tunes that would rejoice even the most jaded pop-rock fan, whether young or old, if they knew about the existence of 'Beyond the Static'. POPPHIL

Decent homage to what I consider one of the finest English (as in region in south of British Isles, rather than language or mistaken term for entire UK) Folk records of the Twentieth century. Shaggy Maggot
