Love, Extinct 04:27
lyrics
buy track
Thunder rolls in the distance Heavy loads require assistance Daddy's got a brand new mistress And she's here to stay She negates my requirements For solitary confinements I take my love where I can find it It's the only way Love, Extinct Desperate acts for desperate measures Seal a pact on unknown pleasures Diver deep for sunken treasures And he finds the gold Driven on by love revival Instigate a lust survival Daddy's in a deep denial And he's far too old Love, Extinct

Bus Driver (free) 04:49
lyrics

Now I've met a girl unlike anyone else And she's beautiful if I do say so myself She's Polish or Swedish or something like that And I'd love her completely if given a chance She hides her true feelings behind darkened shades She's there for me on weekends and on weekdays She's always well-dressed and she's always on time When she's driving my heart on the 33 line Oh bus driver Come with me to a bar tonight And we'll drink budweiser And we'll talk till we both feel it's time to go home And we'll eat lasagne I'll speak Polish if that's what you want Oh an ocean liner Wouldn't sink in the drink if we both were onboard Her fares are as fair as her long golden hair And I know that it’s rude, but I can’t help but stare Though she's a bus driver, she's one of a kind She's like all five girls from Girls Aloud have combined So I'd take a journey with Bridget Bardot But she barely compares to her at the depot She's driving me crazy while driving me home If I can’t sleep with her then I’ll sleep with her clone Oh bus driver Come with me to a bar tonight And we'll drink budweiser And we'll talk till we both feel it's time to go home And we'll eat lasagne I'll speak Polish if that's what you want Oh an ocean liner Wouldn't sink in the drink if we were both on board I’m standing at the bus stop It’s raining in my heart Oh when will I see you again? In nine minutes time on the 33 line The bus turns a corner and you’re not behind the wheel I can't tell you how I feel

Princess 04:16
lyrics

To say that she's out my league would be an understatement But it's never too late to be punching above your weight I fully expect to be knocked back or kicked to the pavement But this girl's worth the humiliation and worth all the pain Oh Princess Well she had a boyfriend, he's more of a man than I am For eight good long years, he was more than a thorn in her side But it's all over now, so the doors to the stables are open And if I get in there fast, I could be next and last on this ride Oh Princess Oh Princess Now I’ve told my tale, I think I’ve had a revelation Of the appeal of a girl who is much more than I deserve See, the thrill’s in the chase, not the prize or the destination And I’m destined to fail, so I’ll only get what I am worth Oh Princess Oh Princess Oh oh I want you but I’m not prepared to fight for you Princess, I want you but I’m not prepared to fight for you

I Love Lisa 04:05

I love Lisa and I guess that she loves me But I don't understand just what she sees in me Cos I don't put up with her magazines Her beauty tips or beauty queens Oh yeah I love Lisa and I really don't know why She puts up with my crap and still stays for the night Cos I'm a drinkin', smokin', cheatin', tokin' Rootin', tootin', fightin', gamblin' man I love Lisa and I guess that that's enough I should not complain that I don't deserve her love I love Lisa and I really can't complain She understands me and just why I am this way Ahh ooo... I love Lisa and I just don't understand Why she don't dump my ass, go out with another man Cos I'm not marriage type material I'm something of a serial... lover I love Lisa and I guess that that's enough I should not complain that I don't deserve her love I love Lisa and I really can't complain She understands me and just why I am this way Ahh ooo...

Noelle (free) 05:29

Riding through the desert plain With my gun in my hand Fighting for my life again Don't you understand Love is like a battlefield Or at least I've been told I bring a gift of frankincense Of myrrh and of gold Noelle I'll let you ring my bell Noelle I'll let you ring my bell I'm begging please I'm down on my knees Don't send me back to hell I see a lonely peasant boy He was battered and bruised I asked him who had beaten him And he said it was you Cos living on the prairie Can be very very scary Noelle I'll let you ring my bell Noelle I'll let you ring my bell I'm begging please I'm down on my knees Don't send me back to hell

Your Boyfriend Is A Dick 04:18
lyrics

I can see you standing on your own Tapping on your mobile phone Can't believe that you're alone Did he stand you up again? Leave you to be with his friends? I hope you wake up then Your boyfriend is a dick And I hope you realise it And leave this place, leave this place with me Does he come home late at night? Does it lead to a fight? Well I don’t think that’s right Cos I wouldn't treat you like he does Yeah, that's only because I don't have no-one to love Your boyfriend is a dick And I hope you realise it And leave this place, leave this place with me And I don't expect You'll wise up yet No, you'll always, you'll always be there by his side And when he forgets And he drinks, smokes and bets You'll be eating, you'll be eating up all of his lies What are my chances, I shouldn't have risked it x4 And those of us, who are much better men Wouldn’t fool around or lie to you, when You are feeling down, I’ll be there to make it alright Cos I am not like him, I’m more of a man Than he’ll ever be, and given the chance Then immediately I'll be round at your house tonight What are my chances, I shouldn't have risked it x4

Want To Be Wanted 03:27
lyrics

She looks at me like I'm her piece on the side She looks at me like I'm not worth her time She always makes me do the things she wants me to do She always turns to me and says 'Let's try something new' And then, why do we try do we want to be wanted? Or do we yearn to be loved So why do we try do we wanted to be wanted tonight? She ties me to the bedpost when she comes around She's always coming up when I'm going down She expects me to give and to never receive You know I want to leave but she's thrown away the key... And then, why do we try do we want to be wanted? Or do we yearn to be loved So why do we try do we wanted to be wanted tonight? And then, why do we try do we want to be wanted? Or do we yearn to be loved So why do we try do we wanted to be wanted tonight? And, why do we try do we want to be wanted? Or do we yearn to be loved So why do we try do we wanted to be wanted So why do we try do we wanted to be wanted So why do we try do we wanted to be wanted Tonight

She dyes her hair Wears no underwear She's bad in conversation Cos she's never there She's louder when she’s had more to drink I think so Yeah I think so She wears a noose And she's wears it loose She's never seen sleeping When she's on the move She's always trying to find another way to shock you To shock you She's got balls, she's got balls She's got balls She's got balls, she's got balls She's got balls She's always trying to find another way to shock you To shock you She talks real hard She'll go too far Thinks the world of her mobile Sitting on the bar She's always got a bad thing to say about you About you She's got balls, she's got balls She's got balls She's got balls, she's got balls She's got balls

When I look up to the stars I wonder what I want to be Be a singer in a band and play guitar Or climb the ladder in an IT company Well, I could pull pints for the rest of my life But baby, that's not good enough Cos that's not my favourite love Well, let me tell you what I want to be Oh baby, I just want to be with you Well, I could pull pints for the rest of my life But baby, that's not good enough Cos that's not my favourite love Well, let me tell you what I want to be Oh baby, I just want to be with you (Oh my god) Oh baby, I just want to be with you (One more time) Oh baby, I just want to be with you

You look so beautiful in the discolights Shimmering bright into my eyes Come take my hand Your dancing hips are quite a spectacle But the waiting is unbearable So I stand in line, and I bide my time, cos... I can't dance with you When everyone else is too When everyone else is too I can't dance with you When everyone else is too When everyone else is too They hang like vultures after a lion's kill So lacking in any dancing skill They pick at bones And all I want is just another dance I've no intentions of getting in your pants Believe me now, cos I'm a mess around you I can't dance with you When everyone else is too When everyone else is too I can't dance with you When everyone else is too When everyone else is too I've got, I've got to pick my feet

about

Ok, so I've been blithering on Facebook about how I'm recording an album.

I've been wanting to record an album that I could be proud of for some time now. The Baker Street Irregulars album was a hodge-podge of mess and shininess marred by terribly drumming, mixing or release schedules. Y'r Impossible couldn't get themselves to decide on getting together enough to actually record one song, never mind a whole album worth. When I formed Pterodactyls with Adrian, Ian and Rob, I knew I had a good band, but it was only when I got Logic and super fast computer that the dream of recording an album actually materialised. At first I planned on doing something a little closer to Caribou, but that's not where my talents lie.

After completing Noelle and I Can't Dance With You, an attempt to gain closure of the break up of the band, I soon started to release that this was where my niche was developing and so I remixed earlier demos to a higher standard*. I added a couple of country style BSI songs, namely I Love Lisa, Want To Be Wanted (reimagined as a Cuban style cha cha) and I Want To Be With You and thought up a title:

Love, Extinct.

That kind of summed up everything about the album, Pterodactyls and the content of the songs. They all have a theme of being about women. This also gave rise to a new song, a fictional tale of a young man who finds himself starting a torrid affair with his father's new overweight girlfriend.

I've put a £5 tag on the album. Not because I plan to make any money off it, but more because it'd be nice if I could. If you don't want to pay for it, listen to it on here as much as you like or ask me in person for a CDR. I'll gladly oblige.

So anyways, I hope you enjoy the album.

*If you're wondering where Lucifer is on the album, the reason for it's exclusion is that it sounds too much like I Can't Dance With You and isn't recorded very well. Perhaps a better version of it will appear on a future EP or mini album. Same goes for Spanish Wire or Great Expectations.
