It’s so dark I can’t see my hand
In a plane in a blizzard that’s trying to land
Holding my placard in invisible ink
White noise in my mind as I’m trying to think.
My mind’s going round blind bends
It’s like a ride with college friends
On a foggy night
It's so dark and I'm wrapped in the past
Remembering the love that didn't last
Cringing at words I should never have said
Flinching at times I nearly ended up dead.
My mind’s going round blind bends
It’s like a ride with college friends
On a foggy night
Don't want to end up lying in a ditch around these blind bends
You never know what's coming next around these blind bends

Filthy slums

Your hungry eyes pierce the screen
Now you’re climbing the walls
Hanging between two precarious arches
With a cheeky grin
Toe to toe in a wire trap
Paper peeling like tears
Babies held under a black hole
A window cries for help.
Filthy slums what have you become?
Now the soul has gone
Filthy slums what have you become?
Gentrified and glum
Half a face in shadow solemn
Abandoned to the ghostly light
This one looks like a prison cell
Held together with twine
Under springs the bugs are jumping
The girl’s face a sorry tale
Of the poison that lurks in water
She played in yesterday
Filthy slums what have you become?
Now the soul has gone
Filthy slums what have you become?
Gentrified and glum
In the valley where JRR played
Lie a hundred thousand bricks
That used to crumble round their ears
Before they cleared Birmingham’s slums

Joe Peacock Birmingham, UK
I'm a prolific singer-songwriter from Birmingham - a genre-hopping storyteller, whose music has been compared to Bowie, Blur, Costello and many others. Mostly, my songs tell stories that I find interesting and thought provoking. My music has all been recorded at home so far and all money from the digital sales of my music go into paying producers/mixing & mastering engineers. ... more
