Moonlight through your window pane you’re nervous and it’s getting late
Could this be the end of me? You’re anxious and you cannot see
Dripping walls paper peeling hopeless case waits outside
Fantasy slow revealing they don’t know what you hide
Becoming a new man a good man a younger man again
Try to be a saviour a soldier like you were back then
Becoming a good guy a wise guy well you don’t have to pay
You’re gonna be a hard man a smooth man if that what it takes
You won’t play their stupid games so when they put you in the frame
Take them on and you’ll see for sure and kill the fear you felt before
Tell yourself nothing else matters in this game you’ll decide
Fantasy slow revealing they don’t know what you hide
Becoming a new man a good man a younger man again
Try to be a saviour a soldier like you were back then
Becoming a good guy a wise guy well you don’t have to pay
You’re gonna be a hard man a smooth man if that what it takes
Becoming a new man a good man
Becoming a new man a good man
Becoming a new man a good man
Becoming a new man a good man

Ghost Machine

I watch the water wash over my body
My days are like rain they leave no trace
My days are like rain they leave no trace
The night is cold and it covers me in sadness
It scares me to death and dares to give in
It scares me to death give in to the madness
A last glance at the rising tide her warm hands drag me deep inside
Fierce and free she welcomes me I feel complete this perfect sleep
The part of me you’ll never see leads me to the ghost machine
My heart is broken my spirit is dying
My tears tell the tale all of over my face
My tears tell the tale but no-one is crying
A last glance at the rising tide her warm hands drag me deep inside
Fierce and free she welcomes me I feel complete this perfect sleep
The part of me you’ll never see leads me to the ghost machine

Those Who Were Dancing

An error in your measure will amplify the fall and overwrite the failure
Expect the unexpected and through the signal breaking try to stay connected
Feel the sound of thunder no-one here is faking you try to make things better
And those who were dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music
And those who were dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music
People fooled by theories going with the flow challenge what they tell you
Scientist will show you only what she knows and water has no memory
And those who were dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music
And those who were dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music

Reverberate

Memory reverberates sideways glance indicates
The voice of the road not taken
The charm of the life not lived
Carries on inside your heart
Diffuse into colours bright and shadow dark
Refuse to be a passenger and make no mark
The effort at integration will leave you lost in the dark
It leads you on leads you on
Resonate embrace the sound
Celebrate all we’ve found
The picture that they want to show you
Is not the one that you drew long ago so long ago
Memory reverberates

Darkroom

I wanna take you to my darkroom
I wanna take you to my darkroom
Black and white blue and red colour rush around your head in my darkroom
Let’s take a photograph of me and you
A risky photograph come on I’m daring you
Lose your friends we’re almost there
Come dancing in the infrared in my darkroom
It’s just a polaroid nothing new
Something we could avoid if you wanted to
No-one else can see us now rules get broken anyhow in my darkroom

One Night In Tokyo
03:37

"I've brought you to hell with me, I'm so sorry"
You will not want to follow cos I’m going down to a place downtown where I can survive alone
Lose words in bad translation running through my head
Gonna try just one more time to connect with you
I know something that you won’t want to see I forget everything you said to me
I know something that you won’t like to see I forget everything you said to me
Lose yourself show me where to go nights are long in Tokyo
You will not want to follow cos we’re doing down to place downtown where we can survive alone
I know something that you won’t want to see
I forget everything you said to me
Lose yourself show me where to go nights are long in Tokyo
You will not want to follow

Blue Diary

Just between you and me and your diary
Under a blue cover lies words from your heart
Turn back the pages it’s time to depart
Down the track to stations you missed in the past
Platform from a journey you never did start
So just between you and me and your diary
Thumbed through the pages I knew it was wrong
I never expected you’d be so long
Waiting for an answer and when nothing arrived
You’d write it down completely words dressed as lies
So just between you and me and your diary

In Your Shoes

I walked a mile in your shoes crossed a line in your shoes
The answer that they gave you was never gonna save you tonight
I ran for hours to catch you searched for days to find you
And the spark that lit our lives up was put out overnight no reason why
I’ll dance a while in your shoes play the fool just like you
And light up the sky guide our way home
I’ll catch your spark tonight light up the dark tonight I’ll catch your spark
I’ll catch your spark fight back the dark tonight I’ll catch your spark
I walked a mile in your shoes crossed a line in your shoes
The answer that they gave you was never gonna save you tonight
I’ll catch your spark fight back the dark tonight
I’ll catch your spark I’ll catch your spark

Running Out Of Time
06:01
|
|

When you’re working for the man is he giving you your due
Do you have to toe the line in most everything you do
Is he giving you the space to think of what you wanna do
Are you burning at both ends are you writing your big hit
Are you giving it a thought and are you chomping at the bit
Are you waiting for a sign is this really it is this really it
Are you running out of time?
Have you promised you the earth did they send you to the moon
What they promise is so good but it never does come true
While you dream and make a plan and it ends up in a ruin
Are you running out of time?
When you look out at the world do you wanna jump right off
Are you tired of the game do you even know the rules
And you try to draw a line but they never let you go
And they want to hear you say that you’ll never go away
Are you running out of time?
And we’ll tell you when to stay then we’ll tell you where to go
When we trick you into hate to distract you from the love
And we’ll tell you what to like and we’ll tell you what to do
And you’re never getting off cos no matter what you do
So are you running out of time?

Hundred Hands

Perfect look perfect style
Beauty and beast reconciled
To patronise to condescend
Constructed here for you and me to play pretend
Struck down by a hundred hands shut down by a thousand words
Cut down by a million lies struck down by a hundred hands
Find his mark know his lines
Effortless by design
Open heart in disguise
Actor plays his part understudy dies
Struck down by a hundred hands shut down by a thousand words
Cut down by a million lies struck down by a hundred hands
Take the part make it mine
Change the script cut the line
First night nerves are overcome
Critics words are cheap now everybody’s one
Struck down by a hundred hands shut down by a thousand words
Cut down by a million lies struck down by a hundred hands

Machines Of Pure And Loving Grace

Polydroid created one of the albums of 2013. This cinemascope analogue synthesizer tour de force (have I used enough cliches yet?) is a digital download bargain. Grab it while you can.

LIVING GHOSTS
by Promenade Cinema
supported by 25 fans who also own “siliconchipsuperstar”
Sounds like the album could be in either a fashion show or a kinetic action movie from the 2010s and I mean that in a good way. Theres kind of a touch of VNV Nation in the sound as well as the stated nods.

Another brilliant E.P, such great music. 'Everybody Knows' is a fantastic song but each track is awesome in it's own different way.

The great Cat Temper does it again! 10 more synthpop bangers with titles like “Growls on Film” and “Electric Pawpurrella.” Instant classic.
