I’m away on holiday and away from my guitars, so I thought I’d better knock up some lyrics before I get too far behind.
Down To The Wire
Praying for someone
to put out the fire
Tension is mounting
The stakes getting higher
The truther the conman
the fool and the liar
All of them taking it
Down to the wire
Deception makes fiction
A matter of fact
Assume crash positions
And prepare for impact
Minds race and hearts beat
Faster and faster
We Teeter and totter
On the brink of disaster
There’s cool hands worth nothing
Being backed up like aces
Beads of sweat trickle
Down granite-jawed faces
The game is up
Your blood runs cold
Like any cheap suit
You crease and you fold
Ain’t gonna lose
to that son of a bitch
Your cold clammy hand
flicks the dead man’s switch

The rhythm of your lyrics are so on point. Even just reading them puts you into such a great groove!

Nice work -- especially love "the truther the conman the fool and the liar" -- not sure if you're thinking of that as a chorus, but I heard it that way in my head. Great stuff!

Ooh this is good! Can be taken in different ways depending what’s going on in listener’s life (though I’m sensing a commentary on UK politics just now?) That last line is so evocative.

Dude your lyrics are so tight. Can’t wait to hear the demo!
