Royal entrance lined by the sea, Clouds lie below me, Winding roads higher than I can breathe, Stars roll around me, Life moves on, and life moves fast, The lonely captain sails his mast, But he works for the dollar, And the dollar is pain, Hoping the dream will make him feel again, Draw, win or lose, we'll find, Everybody on the same tram line, Somebody on the corner looking for a dime, He will find; Searching for the answer to his day, People in the city going their way, Leaves on the floor looking to change, The trees remain the same, People’s faces, places and travels, The path that burns is stained by the shadows, Milk has spilt guilt straight into gravel, Take the last exit, it’s lit by the arrow. Written by Ben Juckes & Sam Thornton

3 years old i could be on my own, the wall surrounds me, Nowhere to hide just light from the blinds, the shadow falters, Strange ambitions thoughts of tuitions, the lady grows strong, Caught offside they realise, the bareness of danger, And the battles goes on but i can barely see it, I’m trying to look out the window but i can barely reach it, All the daffodils and stones shy away from it, Hiding nothing but the laughter that grows with it, I’m feeling fine just hard to decide if i'm gonna get up there, The windows high so i begin to climb i’m seeking a shelter, Learn from me, i can't begin to see, how i'm not gonna be there, Watch you grow old, watch all of you unfold, that's simple nature, And the battles goes on but i can barely see it, I’m trying to look out the window but i can barely reach it, All the daffodils and stones shy away from it, Hiding nothing but the laughter that grows with it, All the petals on the ground remind us all of it, Seeing yellow disappear embraces life with it, The key is the stone that falls in love with it, Keeping everything together, always holding it.

Drive 05:44
Don’t cause a fuss for me, I'm lying here peacefully, I feel protected, and I'm prepared for what’s in front of me, I'll be a minute darling just you breathe, I'll hold your hand and I'll make your tea, I don't understand it, While I watch you there so gracefully, Come home, We need you here, Cos’ we're feeling so tired, Look, there's a rest stop in sight, I never thought I would be on my own I never thought I would be on my own No fallout with reason, No choice to believe, That when you go meet him, We won’t fall into pieces, The participation, of love in our eyes, The constant reminder, you'll be by our sides, No feelings of regret, we'll remember the times, Your smile and your laughter; you've changed all of our lives, But now, we know, we will see you again We'll see you again, we will see you again. But I will never be on my own; I will never be on my own, Cos’ we will never be on our own; Cos’ we will never be on our own Written by Rob Bell & Sam Thornton for Janet Bell

Do they notice us? Do they even care what we do, what we want? Can they find a way? May they try to say, That we know who we want to be. And all the way down the road, I walk into a fight, A battle of which I've chose, I want to see you tonight... Cos' time is precious, and we're alone now, To what you question, we get involved now, I can't believe you, darling come on now, Just move on over baby, I'm right here... I believe in nothing, but I fucking love things, All my attention on one obsession, You smoke on my time, we should fuck on your time, It's freeing my mind but my body's just left out in the cold, So fucking cold!

Zaid 03:13
A year ago I left this town that taught me everything that's round, Splintered up I found a shore that let me look inside for more, What I found was not just rare, perceptions changing everywhere, A dark brown camel joins the show, let's sing to the American road, I'm seeing planes, I'm seeing flames, I'm wishing that everything would be the same, Just like before when there wasn't war, You can't believe that you've met me, Watching the freedom set you free, the darkness is a glow Meeting you I've found myself in two, They don't understand living from this form of life, No agrees and no one disagrees, No one has the right to tell us what to do, The things we've been through we've been high, talking shit that pass us by, No religion, no self grace; Eat Pork, Drink Much, Fuck Well; in case, That our dreams will find a way of showing us to the light of day, The flags above me prove me proud, let's sing to the American crowd, We will succeed, succeed we will, all of the times we've been on our knees, Head in our hands, time will take us back, To where we're free picking who may be, the best ones to take back casually, The beautiful mind grows Meeting you I've found myself in two, They don't understand living from this form of life, No agrees and no one disagrees, No one has the right to tell us what to do, Written by Sam Thornton

But I was thinking about the time, And I was dreaming about the things you did to me, And I was believing in all the things that I wanted to, Just to deceive me, I loved you enough to need you here, But you never could have loved again, I didn’t know what I did wrong, I didn’t know what I did right, But where were you when I saw you that one time, Dancing with that guy from another night, I didn’t know who you were at the time, But I know now... We sing it low, we sing it loud, We sing to sky, we are never gonna die, We are never gonna be alive ever again, We’re never gonna be so reckless all the time, We’re never gonna be feeling like this, We’re gonna get high so much, We're gonna pass the time, Above the ground we’re gonna be so far in doubt, And all things aside we went out, You’re gonna be so far in doubt, And all thoughts aside we went south, That’s when I came to you, Yes I’m falling, yes I’m falling for you now. Written by Ben Juckes & Sam Thornton

about

San Blas England, UK

Transforming the traditional tones of the ukulele and infusing it with the energy of British rock, it has taken over 6 years to develop a concept first thought of under a palm tree whilst watching a hut burn down. San Blas would like to take you for a drive, a dance, and to reminisce about the colourful moments in life as they attempt something genuinely new with the little island instrument. ... more
