Real Stuff 04:31
lyrics

Real Stuff Picture this, we went to a party A spinning room and a shakey floor We went to do what makes us happy With closed doors and the curtains drawn Serpentine, he was acting funny He threw his tankard against the wall, saying "I can't abide your squealing honey, No one's listening anymore" Tell me what he wore! On the shakey floor! Serpentine was summoned slowly For judgement of his whole life story When the wind was strong Been blowing all day long Said “you won’t see me in a hurry” The mystic Gods were almost worried Then the sun was gone Been sunning all day long Have you ever seen a face so low to the ground? He was fine ‘til he started listening to the sound Of the voices in his head that were bringing him down Oh, Serpentine turn that frown upside down! There's always some fat cat making the laws And executives on high floors, sucking at straws And investors in their basements looking out for The next needle in a haystack, I’ve been here before Settling Settled in a hole Settling Settled under stone Settling Settled all alone

The Light 01:59

The Light I work nights ‘cause I haven’t got a life I can do what I like Instead of doing right Instead of doing right Once I’d decided, I hadn’t got much time left I went and took a ride To see my friend from the Tyne My friend from the Tyne He said “I know a guy Who will take you on and guide you You’ll be closer to the sky” I said “take me to The Light” He took me to The Light I said “Hi!” And I looked Him in the eye I was greeted with a sigh Should have took it as a sign He said “you’re no friend of mine” I have decided That people in The Light Are no better off than I Just that they have been misguided They have been misguided

On The Roadside 03:21

On The Roadside On the roadside Don't want to talk about it All hunkered down Nothing to talk about Need to update, looking for an upgrade Find real estate, find something to renovate All the people waiting for the Chance to take a shortcut Guaranteed some bricks and mortar When some people don't have water On the roadside Kept falling down No sunlight Can't seem to work it out All the people waiting for the Change to take a shortcut Guaranteed some bricks and mortar When some people don't have water And all the people start to form An angry mob to start the next war Guaranteed some bricks and mortar When some people don't have water

Meanderings 02:15
lyrics

Meanderings You show your face and the sky turns grey Like those days when everyone is in your way Is there anything more to you? What do you contribute? Slaving away for deaf ears and stale brains I want to nail it but it's always the same Maybe I'm just here to float ideas But you bent me til I learnt how to break Turn the page, for goodness sake Like those days when everyone is in your way Is there anything left in you? What does it constitute? Slaving away for one chance to play the game I know you're trying but your effort's in vain Maybe I'm just here to float ideas But you bent me til I learnt how to break Is there anything left to say? Like those days when everyone is in your way Have you anything left to lose? Am I your substitute? The chances are high and I hear you say "come what may" I want to nail but it's always the same Maybe I'm just here to prove I care But you bent me til I learnt how to break

Keith Brown Norwich

Unrefined DIY indie-pop.

I began accidentally writing and recording songs in November 2009.

Since then I've released two EPs ('Tattie-Bogle' and 'Real Stuff') and an ablum ('Buried Content') via Insufficient Records and played gigs with a backing band (Matt Osborne on bass and synth and Jim Musgrave on drums).
