Little Tea Cup 03:03
lyrics

A little boy went to the city To find what dreams are made of No one told him that pretty faces Can't be leaned on So he made sure to ruin it right He made sure to ruin it right In a tea cup The storm's up That's life Shake up all the city lights It's a tea cup Your time's up That's life Shake your fist at the city lights A little girl made him a fitting A lover for a little while Graceful but terrible at quitting And colourful kids are fragile So she made sure to ruin it right She made sure to ruin it right In a tea cup The storm's up That's life Shake your fist at the city lights It's a tea cup Your time's up That's life Shake your fist at the city lights She found him Crying in the street Told him baby it's time to leave He found her Drying in the street Told her baby the light won't be In a tea cup The storm's up Your life Shake your fist at the city lights In a tea cup Your time's up That's life Shake your fist at the city lights

Trash Violin 03:10

'Trash Violin' written by Jimmy Sky. Performed live to a handycam, then treated with post effects. The second instalment of 'Grey Meadows', an upcoming lo-fi release. Lyrics: All I get to hear my dear Is how happy you are Your voice seems frail with fear Say how difficult it was to throw me out Like trash with a violin Like trash with a violin With every word you speak It seems you're glittering like summer gold You look at me and what you see My works are wandering but mostly getting old Like trash with a violin Like trash with a violin Somewhere deep inside you hide a truth It boils like oil upon a setting sun You blame me to my face disgraced I do the same But mostly we just miss the fun Like leaves on a dying wind Like leaves on a dying wind I can't hate on anyone for very long Least of all not you my dear The wish we have is end the fear For all your joy this little boy recalls The fall from grace your face would bring to me A golden hollow meant to be Now I'm whispering Now I'm whispering Like trash with a violin Like trash with a violin Like trash with a violin Like trash with a violin

Heart Karma 03:29
lyrics

Well it started with the fever and the green eyes And the jealous bones And it never should have escalated further than a lockout From my home But I chased you through the evening when you threatened me With bleeding on the phone I should have known that you were leaving But your love was so deceiving I was a fool It was only my heart Only my heart I gave you my soul Only my heart Only my heart I could give you more When you told me that you wanted me I knew that it was Knew that it was wrong You should never build foundations on a broken heart for someone Well not for long When you fought me in the forest it was karma And inside of me I knew With your violence and your poison and your helplessness And noise away you blew It was only my heart Only my heart I gave you my soul Only my heart Only my heart I can't give you more Only my heart Only my heart I gave you my soul Only my heart Only my heart I can't give you more

Say your hopeless I could you hold you up one night Hold my hand in solitude Be my highest light But they say you're coming out again But they say you're coming out again And I don't know what that means I can't make make you better My friend in the mirror Oh oh oh who Oh oh oh oh Hopeless is the heart That makes up these tales and faeries just to get a life I believe in the jug of love If you walk a mountain and get on high Say you can be ever loved Tell me that the better song Is somewhere round the corner I can't make make you better My friend in the mirror Oh oh oh who Oh oh oh who I can't make make you better My friend in the mirror Oh oh oh who Oh oh oh who I can't make make you better My friend in the mirror Oh oh oh who Oh oh oh who I can't make make you better My friend in the mirror Oh oh oh who Oh oh oh oh I feel the everglades I hear the water run down I hold the hand of light It's the only hopeless fight I hope to never know The pain that you can show me As you stare into Stare into my eyes I can't make make you better My friend in the mirror Oh oh oh who Oh oh oh who I can't make make you better My friend in the mirror Oh oh oh who Oh oh oh who I can't make make you better My friend in the mirror Oh oh oh who Oh oh oh who I can't make make you better My friend in the mirror Oh oh oh who Oh oh oh oh

Reasonable Day 03:51
lyrics

You like to sit and cry Say it's been hard to say goodbye I like to remind you There's someone by your side To tell you every night You my love You are just so beautiful together I love to ignore the part Where your demons lived here in your heart Gnawing at your brain Until you were almost insane And you prefer to show your friends The texts I send When I'm drunken and crazy But it's a reasonable day When we don't want to kill ourselves And we don't to kill each other So just this once Forget forget forget What we said I got so much dirt on you Fear and violence trauma too You could lay some charges If you really really wanted But I hope that we're both better Maybe work it through together Friends say we're crazy Calling it love When you cracked me in the skull With rocks and bottles And definitely I throttled you More than once But it's not their decision Derision is it my love But it's a reasonable day When we don't want to kill ourselves And we don't to kill each other So just this once Forget forget forget What we said

I wonder what you dream of When the ivy climbs your bed I know you go to the places I frequent When I'm lost in my head But there's a black cat in my arms There's a black cat in my arms And it's doing me too much harm This black cat in my arms Here I go Another lifetime ends Here I go I give up my heart again Here I go Another lifetime ends Here I go I give my heart up again I fear the future all along Cause I'm never wrong in my predictions I can't stand the idea of prophecy There's no logic and there's no meaning But there's a black cat in my arms There's a black cat in my arms And it's doing me too much harm This black cat in my arms Here I go Another lifetime comes to an end Here I go I give up my heart again Here I go A lifetime ends Here I go I give my heart up again Here I go Another lifetime comes to an end Here I go I give up my heart again Here I go My life comes up to an end Here I go I give my heart up I give my heart up I give my heart up Give my heart up Again again again again

Cynic 04:35

If you asked me what we've got in common I'd say we're stubborn The lessons are coming Too late to live by But it's a sullen cry If you can't be here tonight Cause I'll never love another the same This is no cliche Nothing in this beautiful world Compares to you my girl If you said we are just crazy Well I'd say baby Maybe said maybe But you don't get romance You got a cynical stance And I don't want to speak that language Cause nothing in this beautiful world Compares to you my girl And I'll never love another the same This is no cliche So take my soul away Take my soul away From troubles From troubles I'll never love another the same This is no cliche Cause nothing in this beautiful world Compares to your smile my girl I'll never love another the same And this is no cliche Nothing in this beautiful world Compares to you my girl So take my soul away Take my soul away From troubles From all my troubles From my troubles My troubles Yeah

Ur Gry Mdw 03:08

Hello there my Coloured Hair Well you should not be sitting In a meadow made of flowers That are faded grey and powerless Tell me what's your story You are young still full of glory Maybe tears will make you dry your fears Give you back your summer years I hope that I do not believe in love I hope that I do not believe in love Or yr gry mdw You're drinking like you're crazy So I'll join you for a day Serve you eggs and avocado In the morning when you're hollow As you vomit all your shame upon Your girlfriend lay the blame on Mother father almost everyone Include me in that bitter sum I hope that I do not believe in love I hope that I do not believe in love Or yr gry mdw I try to hold my head up As the colours seem to fade off in the distance As you're closer to me My mind is almost made up As I know how bad you're mixed up But you can't stop what the heart wants to see Baby I hope that I do not believe in love I hope that I do not believe in love I hope that I do not believe in love Or yr gry mdw Or yr gry mdw

about

'Grey Meadows' forms the eighth official BandCamp release from Jimmy Sky.

The majority of 'Grey Meadows' was written as it was recorded, live to camera, without editing or preparation. Several songs are indeed a true free flow of music, poetry and lyrics. Comprising eight live acoustic performances, every aspect of the record is raw and real.

Lyrically the work is partially autobiographical, entirely inspired by real events, and birthed from a deeply raw and emotional core. Each song was captured in a live setting, with reverb, effects and softening applied later for ease of listening. For lovers of unpolished, emotive folk and pop music.

Track Listing:

1. Little Tea Cup
2. Trash Violin
3. Heart Karma
4. My Friend in the Mirror
