MERCUTIO DIES 03:58
lyrics
buy track
It's another party night, seeking a new adventure Wishing you would look at me But it's just a fool you see Use my wit to make you smile, but I've been here all this while Wishing you would realise, after all, I'm not joking around You call me your clown, but I'm not laughing now. Play at love like girl's are toys, running around with all the boys Your casual words, your careless way eclipse my golden summers day All the jokes are turned to barbs Still you smile, still you laugh This bitterness comes pouring out - all the noise But I'm not joking around, no I'm not laughing now won't you shut your mouth Can't you see the hurt I wear, upon my sleeve You say I feel too much You say I won't, I need But I say it's nothing, just a little death Every time you laugh, every time you laugh - another little death. Can't you see me?

QUEEN MAB VISITATION 03:53
lyrics
buy track
Your words, love lust poetry, have all been said before. They twist and self deceive, lying like a whore A fever dream of feelings, a tempest all unchained You make your own meanings, a endless mirror gaze Hold on, to the darkest point, feeling betrayed Crawling away from this maze, you look confused believe what you choose. Your words, like wire in my mind, insanity - absurd They twist and they turn inside of me, trying to get heard If you could only see, love all limits exceeds If you could understand, you wouldn't speak at all Running rings around feelings, a tempest on a chain Eyes look at the ceiling, make your meaning plain Hold on, to the darkest point, feeling betrayed Crawling away from this maze, designed to confuse, you look confused, believe what you choose.

ROSALINE DAYS 03:29
lyrics
buy track
Beauty is a fair beast untamed As long as days beat loudly, longing for her name The sailing eyes drag me down, toward the lonely quicksand ground A rose between my teeth in my Rosaline days Can't get enough sleep in my Rosaline days Unrequited love in my Rosaline days A push and then a shove in my Rosaline days My siege is bearing vigil to my worthiness of mind I'm only asking for her favour not a holy grail find. Some folks treat me like a fool when I'm talking in my cups How could they ever understand, the wistful wishful pleasured ways? I find your name written in a cloud All those who insult me to my face simply don't understand the human race - no way! A kiss upon her hand in my Rosaline days. Not knowing where I stand in my Rosaline days. Cupid's arrow missed for my Rosaline days A slap after a kiss in my Rosaline days. My siege is bearing vigil to my worthiness of mind I'm only asking for her favour not the light behind her eyes. The temple of joy is a lonely place tonight I feel like a toy, in the hands of someone irresponsible.

YONDER LADY 02:44
lyrics
buy track
A crowded room filled with shining lights Colours blur, into the eyes of night, her presence near Teaching light too burn brighter still Eyes in chains follow her every motion, forsake my will. All my loves have been cast aside in light of this rare jewel As sure as I am breathing I shall not rest without you. Has fate just played a skeleton hand? The wrong family name, a chasm as wide as the stars A tortuous thought an icicle blade, for goodness I yearn For darkness I shall bleed. Measure done, Ill watch her place of stand Arms in fold, hiding my beating heart and trembling hands Teachers lights too burn brighter still My heart in chains pulled by her frightening beauty Yonder Lady A white bird in a room of crows "Has my heart loved till now"?

KEEPSAKE SMILES 03:57
lyrics
buy track
Look at them standing high on the hill Laughing skies, ready to take a spill Lets steal away on the moor's for a day Leave behind all those who furrow their brow Laminate all your keepsake smiles Hang from branches of a family tree of life Courtship in haze, leaving nothing for time The plastic green infects your body and your mind I can see coloured lights in eyes, everything come as a total surprise The universe has shown me a sign, a map of love A harmony hard to find The thought of you turns me to blue tac and glue I ask myself is there anything that I can do? When plastic grass spreads at every degree They only see, the world in each others eyes.

BALCONY SCENE 03:45
lyrics
buy track
Then the light turns on, and the stars hold a new home, replacing her eyes. When the light turns on, the balcony is filled with a vision and her eyes may be in the heavens. Transforming the night, birds begin to sing, tricked by her radiance I sit and wonder, such beauty! When the light turns on, I can see her lips are saying, words I cannot here. I ache to be close, the hand in her glove I ache to be close, my hand on her cheek When the light turns on When the light turns on, I'm compelled to be closer At any any other time, I might have fallen But her glow brings me lightly to the ground When the light turns on

FORTUNES FOOL 03:42
lyrics
buy track
The stars have played me false tonight for I am a fool - fortunes fool Crazy feeling, a bloody knife, despite my efforts Stage fright in the faintest light to forsake the wine of this shadow foul. The court of patient fools waits for me, a puppet to the rules of fate Kinship longing tears fall before me, for happiness am I too late? Have I thrown away all my hip pocket dreams for the sake of this love? All my childish fanciful schemes have have passed like a drop of his blood The universe is sending a message wrapped in a barb wire fist Oh romeo. oh Romeo Prosperity and happiness is using him for personal entertainment. Oh Romeo, oh Romeo

EVERYTHING TONIGHT 02:34

I'd give everything to see you I'd give everything tonight And I'm never going to leave you I'm never going to kiss you goodbye Despite all the obstacles in our way just sent to amuse and confuse Am I ever going to see you? I'd everything tonight Tonight I'm lonely, these wards are a familiar friend I can't face the sunshine, the wind and the icicles I'd give everything to see you I'd do anything to have you by my side And I never would forsake you, even if you were someone else's bride Tonight I'm lonely, these wards are a familiar friend I can't face the sunshine, the wind and the icicles I'd give anything to have you by my side And I never would forsake you, even if you were someone else's bride

SWEET SORROW 03:57
lyrics

Such sweet idolatry, makes a god of you and a sun of me Oh be some other name, I'll answer anything, anything you call Parting is such sweet sorrow, but I wait for you I must wait for tomorrow, the dawn is breaking through Such sweet idolatry, makes a god of you and a sun of me What's in a name anyway? Do not swear, yet I'll not fail you, no little wanton bird To slip from your hand, do not swear By the moonlight, the ever inconstant moon, slip away from your hand Just say your name and I'll fly back again Breaking light, like the start of my life Such sweet idolatry, makes a god of you and a sun of me Oh be some other name, such sweet idolatry, makes a god of you and a sun of me, what's in a name anyway?

NO WORDS 02:56
lyrics
buy track
Cold pressed sway, through the longest day Cold pressed song, until the break of dawn Blanket fear, my frozen tears, becoming drawn Like blinds to the sun Strangled air, my closing lungs Useless prayer, may he return to my arms Carry me over the threshold of life What if I remain in here, buried with my ancestors Buried with my awful fears No words to calm my mind No eyes to touch my soul No arms to hold me tight Nobody to come and redeem me now Lonesome thoughts, lonesome cries A body talks, through walls of my mind

EXTREME SWEET 04:27
lyrics

Help me as I fall down, dreaming of your touch This ecstasy, so much, too much, too much How can I bear this, I surrender to this Victory, in defeat, you vanquish me Be my love, intensity and grace Be my love, the passion of the chase Your embrace, truth and beauty Extreme sweet, extreme sweet Love me as I drown, so small against this The scale of you, of us, so much, too much I lose myself in this, tremble with belief The words of love, you speak, you swallow me. Be my love, intensity and grace Be my love, the passion of the chase Your embrace, truth and beauty The passion of the chase, extreme sweet Extreme sweet, truth and beauty

DARKNESS REMAINS 03:28
lyrics
buy track
Hanging on neons, clothed in midnight waiting for some words to come Swift in motion, willing her forward Summon the powers, to herald this love Three long hours, ageing me quickly Not letting me cease this part in time Words can be be flowers, cut below water Cherish the clocks before the darkness to come Waiting by windows, bathed in moonlight Eyes like fires in the cold of the night Longing her forward, a fateful journey Driving back shadows over louring hills Three long hours, ageing me quickly Not letting me cease this part to play Words can be agents, fluttering softly Cherish the moon while the darkness remains

LEFT ALONE 03:56
lyrics

You left me grasping you're not there You left me gasping for clean air You said I'd never be alone You said I'd always be your home Too tired to think too sad to speak I try to be strong you make me weak At night I dream we're together My heart unfurls like a rose You whisper words of forever You told me to let go But now you've left me all alone The sun is rising in the east I look for you, I find no peace. At night I dream we're together My heart unfurls like a rose You whisper words of forever, forever, alone, forever, forever...

BELOVED 03:51

In the palm of my hands, I'm holding that first perfect kiss One true moment of bliss In my lovers embrace, I'm drunk on the sight your face Shaped by the light of the moon Let's runaway not wait for a year and a day and things to fall into place I've had a thought, and it burst into bloom because you have become part of my life you have become part of my life Oh, I wish for the night to return once more Beauty gives light through the window dressed in black Un-talked of and unseen and shrouded in the night The light on your face Reminds me of our secret grace filled with the madness of love The touch of your hand, turns me too blue tac and glue is there anything I can do? Looking at your eyes reminding me of stars in the night sky.

A PLAGUE ON BOTH OUR HOUSES 03:38
lyrics

Low down, crazy face, dropping to my knees upon the floor boards Tear my hair out, living like a rodent on the floor boards Must I accept, there be a plague on both our houses Measure my grave, for there's a plague on both our houses Cats and dogs and the flies, may look upon her face But I must slither away like a reptile, far away from this place Pass me a knife, so I may end this day So I may put an end to living this way I cannot live with memories of her embrace, her white wonder Desperate, foolish, ill fated Just a creature on the floor boards TYear my hair out, blubbering and useless on the floor boards Must I accept, there be a plague on both our houses Measure my grave, for there's a plague on both our houses

Dance with me, dance with me Girl of my dreams, dance with me I thought, this can't be true, I never thought I'd meet someone like you With you I can be a better man, dance with me, holding my hand I'm asking, I'm asking, I'm asking please stay Girl of my dreams, don't slip away Don't slip away

about

The album that spawned the name. Envisioned as a collaborative work, possibly leading to a musical production of the famous Shakespearian play. Here the songs are presented in a somewhat semi representative fashion, still wanting for decent singers and musicians to make them come to life. Yet among their number are some of my most resonate and memorable efforts, given additional insight and gravity by Catherine's lyrics. This collection is not intended to follow the narrative directly, but is a pastiche of significant moments. A further 8 tracks remain unfinished, and amongst the songs here are those not quite complete, but capturing something of worth. This is a sketch book for a musical project that I would welcome anyone to take up, and hopefully one day will find its musical niche.
