SLOW LYRICS

Lyrics by SLOW are written by Steven Thon and Kevin Thon. Usually Kevin will come up with some catch line lyrics/phrases and Ideas for a song, hand it to Steven who will do some adjective magic, turn it into a poem, and "artify" it way to much making it impossible to sing, then Kevin will work on it some more, give it back to Steven and the cycle will continue. It's not the most efficient way to write, but its typical SLOW style.

I think the only song we worked together while playing was "Lonely Roads (aka "The Wedding Song") due to some serious time pressure..

LONELY ROADS

Started to think wild thoughts of doom but the second I saw you my heart turned around

and conceptions of life fell to the ground and now all I feel is 

Come with me and stay awhile
before lonely roads come my way again
and the feeling I get when I lay down my head
is the feeling of sweet relief

Now and forever my darling it's you and this love will shine like diamonds in gloom

Colours and features leaked from my room
and silent white shadows left love to defend
and the goodbye's we said were only pretend
and now all I feel is 

Come with me and stay awhile
before lonely roads come my way again

And  the feeling I get when i lay down my head is the feeling of sweet relief

MONSTER

We knew a quiet land the future in our hands like a promise

but he’d been ready for some time just waiting for the sun to rise

Now I see this barren place. one small man a smiling face after his game of pain
This was not a masterplan we never need to understand but now you’ve made your claim for fame

Who saw the silent man hiding in our land like a monster
Now empty eyes and fevered needs are waiting for that final breeze

Lay there quiet on the ground they never even heard the sound as echoes faded all around

And would you like to be the star of evil ways well you are
And they never saw your face
And fell into waves and slowly disappeared
 
Who saw the silent man hiding in our land like a monster
Now words and sounds in tall green trees are waiting for that final breeze

ANGEL FACE

Wake up in the morning with secret things to say all so true and knowing in your precious way.

Get up wild and willing to start another day nothing keeps me going like your angel face

Feel your sweetened whispers flowing through my head and both of us believed it something special was said

I feel your tiny fingers running through my hair before a new world calls you to climb the magic stairs

Shapes of things that scare you and all the things you fear I will fight forever and i will keep you near

Rest your head now darling we can watch the room lie there safe and sleepy and dreams will call you soon

Keep that sense of wonder hold on to whats true and take my hand in shadows and we will walk right through

FRIEND

INTRO

Verse 1:

I wonder if i'm alive

It's been dark for quite some time

I need you to be by my side

and walk me through the night

Prechorus 1

I never thought I could lose my own heart

or fail to stand when we drifted apart

Chorus 1

So where are you my Friend these dreams are growing old

And where are you my Friend I need to hold you again

Verse 2

It's hard to touch or to see

in this world that can’t be real  

no blue skies or coloured fire

your angel soul inspired

Prechorus 2

And the days to come are like the days before

(* fix)

with no/ and no (softened/calming/warming,soothing) "something" or (laughter/whatever) anymore

Chorus 2

So where are you my Friend these dreams are growing old

And where are you my Friend I need to hold you again

(SOLO)

pling pling

Interlude/bridge

If you ever loved me just whisper my name

for I have been waiting every single day

And if you ever loved me i'll help you to see

that somehow somewhere there's a place there for me

Chorus 3

(* this one stays with COLD at the end.. but not sure about I need to see you again)

So where are you my Friend I need to see you again

And where are you my Friend lonely dreams are cold

OUTRO

Its hard to fall the right way with a heart that can’t be saved
