No More Joy (for Ian)
c. '13 Vlayman

On the eve, on the cusp
wasn't there anyone you felt you could trust
Madchester, 1980 (2x)

An ideal for living, a loss of control
Unknown pleasures brought us closer
than you'd ever know
Madchester, 1980 (2x)

On the eve, on the cusp
wasn't there anyone you felt you could trust
You played "The Idiot"

Used a clothesline
Madchester, 1980 (2x)

Abandoned Beauty
c. '14 Vlayman

Seeing things that aren't really there, seeing gold woven in your hair
Seeing love deep within your eyes, it ain't there

Seeing people that I never met, remembering things that I meant to

forget
Seeing love deep within your eyes, with regret

Life ain't like your favorite movie
And you ain't no abandoned beauty

Hearing how I rode to your rescue, now come on honey, you know

that ain't no truth
Seeing love deep within your eyes, but you don't groove me

Feeling like you are the center, what you really are never really

enters your mind
Seeing love deep within your eyes, it's so unkind but

Life ain't like your favorite movie
And you ain't no abandoned beauty
Life ain't like your favorite movie
And you ain't no abandoned beauty

Aiiight, this is a demo for my new band, Bustouts:

Why Can't You See
c. '14 Vlayman

Kohl-lined eyes all inna whirl
Tryna be that punk-rock girl
Hair dyed blue like ya used to do
You're getting too old for that

Runs in your stockings, you torn yer dress
Beat up Doc Martins and if I hadda guess
You're kinda proud of lookin' a mess
Did I guess right about that?

Why can't you see I don't need anything from you?

Got yer 'lectronic cigarette
Use yer i-phone to hedge yer bets
Yer real happy 'bout lookin' a mess
Did I guess right about that?

Why can't you see I don't need anything from you?
Why can't you see I don't need anything from you?

Kohl-lined eyes all inna whirl
Still tryna be that glamour girl
Down on yer knees like ya used to do
At least you can still please doin' that

Why can't you see I don't need anything from you?
Why can't you see I don't need anything from you?
Why can't you see I don't need anything from you?
Why can't you see I don't need anything from you?

The Sight of You
c. '14 Vlayman Products

Y'know I'm feelin' close to low
Not sure just how low we can go,
Ya make a show of lovin' me,
And then ya go on fuckin' me.

Well I'm feelin' sick to death,
Comes the night I can't get no rest,
I got no fight even close to left,
Can't get right about you.

Now I can't stand the sight of you, no,
I just can't get right about you, whoa qoh

And I'm scared about my mental health
Don't know where I can get a belt
I don't care if it's just a crutch
You sit and stare as I drink too much.

My eyes are red and my lips are dry
I never lie about not wanting to cry
You get high and laugh at me
I can't get right about you.

Now I can't stand the sight of you, no,
I just can't get right about you, oh

Well I'm feelin' sick to death,
Comes the night I can't get no rest,
I got no fight even close to left,
Can't get right about you.

Now I can't stand the sight of you, no,
Now I can't stand the sight of you, oh
Now I can't stand the sight of you, no,
I just can't get right about you, oh
Now I can't stand the sight of you, no,
I just can't get right about you, oh

Ask
c. '14 Vlayman

It's in your eyes, everything you thought you'd never get to do
It's in your eyes, and it's tellin' me all about you
It's in your eyes, hiding back behind what yer sayin'
It's in your eyes, the game you're playin'

Ch: We don't have to move too fast
But if ya want it baby
You're gonna have to ask
I'm gonna make ya ask

It's in your heart, everything of which you'll ever be able
It's in your heart, and it'll make you capable
It's in your heart, trying hard as hell to come out
It's in your heart, I know you know what I'm talkin' about

Ch
__

It's in your head, anything you thought was holding you down
It's in your head, and it's time you let it on out

In Your Soul (Deep Down)
c. 14 Vlayman

You've got a problem and it just keeps gettin' worse
You'd like to solve it but you're thinkin' that you're cursed
It ain't like hellfire raining down from above, no
It's how you went and fucked up everyone you loved

You took the money and you mebbe took a life
There was smoke and shots and shit and and the mask just was'nt

fittin' right
and when your eyes got covered you let one off toward the lights
While runnin' out you heard a scream, you knew it wasn't right

I think you already know
I think you're ready to go
I think you already know
Deep down in your soul

It wasn't long ago, actually, the week before
You parked yer ass on that bar stool and met yourself a whore
And you went upstairs and spent some time and money you didn't

have
And your baby girls were still at home and you knew you shouldn't

have

If it weren't for drugs and likker you wouldn't get too far
If it weren't for drugs and likker you'd not be the man you are
A helluva man so big and strong takin' whatever you want
A gun or a knife or even your fists, you like to fuck 'em up
But the years take their toll in or out of the joint you ain't gettin' no

further
Your family's gone, even your mom, your own kids never knew their

father
It ain't like there was hellfire raining down from above, no
It's how you and you alone went and fucked up everyone you loved

Maraschino
c. Vlayman '14

You get the taste of her, on yer lips,
Don't want to waste no part of that,
C'mon son, lemme give you a tip,
She knows where the sugar's at.

Woah-oh, Maraschino
O-ah-oh, you know she knows
Woah-oh, Marashino
O-ah-oh, she gots where the good stuff goes.

A little bitter, mo' bitter than you,
But that's alright you can handle her,
C'mon son, she won't bite,
And' it's aiight, you know you want her

Ch

Bridge:
On her latte
wif extra whipt cream
She takes a red cherry no question
On her dresser,
you leave a little green
And use a whole little discretion

Taste the whiskey, back of her throat
Taste the sweetness on her teeth
Cmon son, by now you need it
She knows all about the sweet relief

Nothin' to Say
c. '14 Vlayman

We all heard you, whining in the other room
We al heard you, screaming out of tune
We all figured that it was time for you to leave
We all knew, just who to believe

There's nothin' you can say
To make it go away
There's nothin' you can say
Nothin' to say

It was a late night, we all gotta admit
It was a hot one, we didn't want to quit,
We had a good one, it was a awesome gig
We all knew, you was gonna start some shit

CH

We're all glad it's over, we was real tired of you
And the man with plan, well, he just didn't know what to do
But it was obvious who we hadda believe
We all knew it was time for you to leave

Goodbye-eye-eye
and take alla yer lies

Fretless
c. '14 Vlayman

I never worry, no, not me
I never concern myself with nothin'
I never hurry, it ain't benificial, you see
Always runnin' round after somethin'
__

There ain't nothin', never bother me
I don't get worried 'bout nothin' at all
When I'm comin' they never see me
Don't care if she's's too short or tall

Fretless 3x

I never lose sleep, no not me
Mebbe I ain't too deep, but it ain't my concern
I got no possesions or people to care about, you see
I can watch this whole town burn
and remain

Fretless 3x


Some of us prefer it Jaco style
Slippin' & slidin' into place
Alttle vibtration
And the look on yer face
There is them, what claim to hate me
They ain't no problem of mine
They can't never catch up, you see
I'm already on down the line

Fretless 12x

Ride the Light
c. '14 Vlayman

_I can see you, just around the corner
_Standin' in the light
_I been lookin' for you,
_tryna get to adore you, all my life

Startin' tonight, we're gonna ride the light
Startin' tonight, ride the light
Ride the light

_Don't take no genius to know, somehow involved was good luck
_You hope it's inevitable, you know,_but what the fuck
_If it was chance brought us here, well that's alright
_Was it fate or karma, it still feels right

Until I'm Late (Wait)
'c. '14 Vlayman Produx

EpiGoth-VC3Q

I know yer inna hurry to get goin'
You got a thing about you needs to move
But if it wasn't for the things that I am knowing
You wouldn't move along with such a groove

Don't you wanna wait
until I'm late?
I know how you hate bein' slow
Don't you wanna wait
until I'm late, baby?
Wait for me before ya go

Every buddy's talkin' 'bout how's yer motor's runnin'
They all see you at the starting line
We all know that you like nothin' better'n gunnin'
But baby's got learn to earn her time

Ch

Once there was a rabbit thought it knew where it was headed
It passed all the jackyls and the tortise and the snake
That crazy rabbit, tho' is gonna end up deaded
'cus she really don't know how much more I can take

End (How It All Will)
c. '14 Vayman Produx

In the grey morning on the first day of the month,
I heard the calling of the birds for their mates,
There was no warning on that first day of the month,
that you'd be late.

In the red morning just before the storms began,
I heard the mothers calling for the children,
There was no other warning before the storms began,
But for the light and then the wind.

In the bright morning just before sun fell down,
I heard you calling out my name,
There was no warning just before the sun fell down,
And it never will ever rise up again.

Oooh, my dear
I know just what you fear
You see what I do but you fail to comprehend
How it all will end

Been a little bizzy wif The Bustouts, but here's a new one from just me.

Toe Tag
c. '14 Vlayman

I been lookin' for you most of the rest of the night
I been tryna find you, bring you back into the light
I been lookin' for you, to bring you back into the light

I'm gonna, tie a toe tag on you,
I'm gonna tie-ie-ie, a toe tag on you,
I'm gonna tie, a toe tag on you,
It's true

They sent me out there, expectin' me to bring you home
They left me out there, told me to do it on my own
They left me out there, knowin' I was sure to bring you home

Ch

You been a weasel, sompin' nobody wants near
You been a sucker, losin' all they hold dear
You'll never please 'em, and you're right to fear me
