This wasn’t planned. I genuinely didn’t intend to write an album as I was at my lowest mentally. I wasn’t fit to work so to try and structure my day and help me relax, I sat with my laptop and started putting together melodies and tunes. Writing down how I felt was also good therapy. It took time to even dawn on me that to combine the words and music might be a good thing to do. Recorded, mixed and mastered at home, this wasn’t a fast creative process but I had the time to work at my own pace and learn new recording techniques. I also had the time to stop and walk away when the anxiety was too much, I could have deleted the whole thing. I’m glad I didn’t.
Tomorrow’s Children
Music & Lyrics - Loz Jones
How, how have we come to be like this?
No dreams beyond our narrow view
No taking risks
Tomorrow's children
Tomorrow, can we start again?
A shout into space, hiding a face
Calling everyone and no one
A second of outrage frozen forever
Can't undo the damage that's done
And somehow we all give in to the narcissistic posturing
Nobody questions one sided views
The biggest bully is reading the news
Tomorrow's
Winners, Losers
Leaders, Dictators
Heroes, Killers
Creators, Destroyers
Tomorrow, can we start again?
Out of the mouths of babes they say
The innocent wisdom of youth
Enjoy the lies Lord of the Flies
Here comes a cruel and ruthless truth
Tomorrow's
Winners, Losers
Leaders, Dictators
Heroes, Killers
Creators, Destroyers
Tomorrow, can we start again?
Is this the future?
Are we already done?
The human race in decay
Before we've really begun
Silent Fury
Music - Loz Jones
Lyrics - Loz Jones and Lucy Jones
How many times do you have to see?
How many times does it have to be?
You don't know how hard I try
To hold on to hope and keep it high
They say my broken dreams will start to mend
They also say hope kills you in the end
I've not been around long enough
To see so much of the things I love
Erased by calculation so easily
How much more will they take from me?
You want a reason why the words fade under my skin
You want a reason why the shaking tunnel vision begins
You want a reason why silent fury overwhelms my soul
You'll want a reason when I snap and I lose control
It's in our nature, in our heartbeat
but the
Hunter gatherer is obsolete
New blood pumping faster and faster
Not halfway done yet put out to pasture
Shot down, heroes pulled apart
Made to kneel before the new upstart
they make the
Same mistakes no matter what you say
'Cause the fuckers aren't listening anyway
You want a reason why the words fade under my skin
You want a reason why the shaking tunnel vision begins
You want a reason why silent fury overwhelms my soul
You'll want a reason when I snap and I lose control
Disconnected
Give me a badge and bury my words
A desperate cry
Becomes a whisper in a sea of lies
Trivialise this, take away my voice
What have you left me with?
Got my sense of purpose back
Message written, the plan of attack
I have to do this to make them see
There's no one left for me to be
There's no return now the stage is set
What I've got left they won't forget
I'm way beyond help, they've already won
Can't pick up the phone while I'm holding a gun
You want a reason why the words fade under my skin
You want a reason why the shaking tunnel vision begins
You want a reason why silent fury overwhelms my soul
You'll want a reason when I snap and I lose control
Plastic People
Music & Lyrics - Loz Jones
Another hollow, white collar factory
Where they make nothing so there's nothing to see
Package up the nothing and give it a name
And launch it with a cool advertising campaign
You don't know what it is you do
You don't care who you're selling it to
You screw all the people who trust in you
And then you're gone
Tell me when, when is enough?
Plastic people keep on buying into this stuff
Superficial moneymaker
It's never gonna be enough
There's no compassion, got nothing inside
Repeating empty words from an idiot's guide
Got no hesitation in crossing a line
Your fire isn't brighter when you're pissing on mine
Digital spreadsheet cowboy scum
Destroy a hundred lives just to pay for one
Double cross the future, take the money and run
And then you're gone
Tell me when, when is enough?
Plastic people keep on buying into this stuff
Superficial moneymaker
Killing everything we love
Hello caller, what's your name?
The world is burning up, can you feel the flames?
Do you have an idea, how can we be saved?
Or did you just call to remind us all
That you're a big success from your own fucking mess?
When it's all gone, what are you gonna do
When the luxury majority has crushed the few?
With the skills all dead and the talent suppressed
A vacuous hell is the life you'll be left
I know you can't possibly imagine this
While you revel in your temple of material bliss
You grew up in a cold, narrow-minded abyss
It's in your eyes
Tell me when, when is enough?
Plastic people keep on buying into this stuff
Superficial moneymaker
Killing everything we love
I don't need your money
I don't need your respect anymore
One day you'll realise
That you're nothing when they show you the door
Together Alone
Music & Lyrics - Loz Jones
I don't know why we're where we are today
This wasn't the plan but we're here now anyway
When I fell you were there
Everything we have to share
Together alone
In our sea
That no one understands
Why we want to be
Where two blues meet
We're searching for the free
Step away
Take my mind to the here and now
Don't know what to say but you can read my mind somehow
All the talk when it's out of control
One by one you silence all the screams within my soul
Together alone
In our sea
That no one understands
Why we want to be
Where two blues meet
We're searching for the free
I was our sail, I could call the wind
I took the wheel and I promised you things
And now we're drifting
Alone
Remind me again
To reignite the fire
I believe in you
When you say we'll find our heart's desire
Together alone
You cling to me
And I hold on to you
Together alone
What can you see
As we ride against the waves
Together alone
In our sea
That no one understands
Why we want to be
Where two blues meet
We're searching for the free
Heat Of The Sun
Music & Lyrics - Loz Jones
I shouldn't feel like this
I should be better equipped by now
Fighting for control
Worn down just getting here
With a broken auto-pilot
I can't navigate the sinking lows
Crashing through the turbulent highs
Tell me, when will I…
Feel the heat of the sun?
The light seems so far away
No matter how fast I run
Feel the heat of the sun
I've fought this for so long
How have I come undone?
Behind this face the demons stoke the pain inside until that's all there is
Caught in a loop
Lost in the dark I search for light and when I find it burns so bright
I'm forced to close my eyes until the darkness comes
Feel the heat of the sun
When will I learn to kill the pain?
I can't be the only one
All the hurt I cause
And all the guilt that brings
You still hold on to me
I don't need to explain anything
Feel the heat of the sun
You're everything to me
You are the only one
Together we can run
Into the heat of the sun
Restart our life together
And make it a better one
Feel the heat of the sun
It can't be that we've reached the end
We've only just begun
Disconnected
Music & Lyrics - Loz Jones
How did we get here?
Send a message from hell
You won't get an answer
Just crawl back into your shell
In the meaningless noise of the one way traffic
You can drive against the flow and get killed for a second of magic
We're the disconnected you can't see
We're the disconnected majority
We're the disconnected, talk to me
We're the disconnected, do you feel free?
You can hide in your room and build the 'real' you
Believing in your utopian twin and lock away the you we knew
Now you censor yourself
Suppress the voice in your head
What's the point of life like this?
Let's take a selfie while the water turns red
We're the disconnected you can't see
We're the disconnected majority
We're the disconnected, talk to me
We're the disconnected, do you feel free?
Our eyes are open but we refuse to see what's going on
We look at each other but we're all the same
And the ones who could help us have gone
Take a look back
Check your history
Take a look back
Do you feel free?
We're the disconnected you can't see
We're the disconnected majority
We're the disconnected, talk to me
We're the disconnected, do you feel free?
Blabbermouth
Music & Lyrics - Loz Jones
Just another trend my superficial friend
I try to ignore you but I fall for your trolling again
I'm not ashamed I care
I've been around a while
The more you say
The more you fool yourself
The more you make me smile
Your arrogance astounds me
Take a look at yourself
Don't patronise me with opinions from somebody else
I'm not ashamed I care
I've been around a while
The more you say
The more you fool yourself
The more you make me smile
After all we've done you have such little respect
You think you're getting away with this but I can see right through your text
Are you having fun?
Your time will come
I'll be there to remind you when you're battered and bruised
You got your name on my song
I'm not ashamed I care
I've been around a while
The more you say
The more you fool yourself
Blabbermouth
The more you make me smile
Lucky Escape John
Music & Lyrics - Loz Jones
You wake up to hear that repeating tone
Love through to hate flooding out of your phone
It wasn't like this at the start
Millions of people couldn't tear at your heart at once
The world gave you a voice, you tried to use it well
You broadcast from within your celebrity shell
Now the holier-than-thou break through
Stick in the knife and then slip out of view
When everyone in the crowd can have their say
Then the philosophers words will have had their day
Had you survived we would have hurt you John
But when you died you let the love live on
You won't back down against the turning screw
Diplomacy was not the look for you
In your position you're a hypocrite
And in turn your words are counterfeit
You have no function in this new world of fear
Your message of love dismissed as insincere
It's bigger than Jesus, it's bigger than you
It's choking the belief that we can change the view
Everyone in the crowd has had their say
The philosophers words have had their day
Had you survived we would have hurt you John
But you died and let the love live on
And on
Let the love live on
And on
Was that a lucky escape John?
No One Asking Why
Music & Lyrics - Loz Jones
They're the fear in the night
They're the darkness in the day
When the demons took my mind I knew they'd never go away
This war has just begun
Many more are gonna die
There's no one doing the killing and there's no one asking why
You can't see what's going wrong
The damage lies behind the mask
If I open up to show you, you'll wish you never had to ask
Waiting for the train to crash
People watching, standing by
There's a reason for the pain but there's no one asking why
Throwing millions at a cure
Still there's no one asking why
Too tired to keep pretending
Got nothing left to hold the storm
It's time to love me or leave me
I can't continue to perform
Sell us what we need
A plastic life to pacify
Too lazy to resist it so there's no one asking why
No desire to be human so there's no one asking why
Wild Wishes
Music & Lyrics - Loz Jones
You were pushed, I understand
Though you never stood a chance against a loaded hand
You couldn't take another day
Accepting worn-out reasons that were thrown your way
You mobilised and made a stand
A stronger voice reaching out across the land
And there was change, you took control
Then you tried to kill the past in exchange for your soul
Your mind lies
To your green eyes
Now you're not sure that this is what you wished for
You found divides
And you took sides
Now you're not sure that this is what you wished for
They've had enough, it's not okay
Taking from the other side to tip the balance your way
You were many, now you're the few
Your justice turned to vengeance so they're coming for you
Your mind lies
To your green eyes
Now you're not sure that this is what you wished for
You found divides
And you took sides
Now you're not sure that this is what you wished for
You've tied yourself up now
Be careful what you wish for
Your mind lies
To your green eyes
Now you're not sure that this is what you wished for
You found divides
And you took sides
Now you're not sure that this is what you wished for
Be careful what you wish for
Invisible Again
Music & Lyrics - Loz Jones
The sun burns hard through gaps in the trees and miles of curved glass
In a short space of time thousands of people pass
Destinations unknown
Blinkers on, ploughing through the day
No time to stop
No desire to talk
Got nothing left to say
I'm invisible again
Invisible again
When nobody sees me that's when I can take it all in
Take my hand
I know it's not what we had planned
They turned their backs
Shut out the sound and forgot we're still around
Erased, unknown
Discarded, we've been left alone
They walk right through us
We're on the breeze
Now we can do as we please
I'm invisible again
Invisible again
When nobody sees me that's when I can take it all in
I'll go anywhere with you
We can hide in clear view
Shed our old and leaden skin
This is where we can begin
Invisible again, Invisible again, Invisible again, Invisible again
When nobody sees me that's when I can take it all in
Just take it all in
Invisible again
Been taking it in
Invisible again
Again
Coming Back To Life
Music & Lyrics - Loz Jones
You branded me a fool
I called it optimistic
When the knife was in my back
You came along to twist it
You revelled in my pain
Thought you'd never see me again
You can't kill what I believe
You can't beat it out of me
I'm not fixed, you can see the cracks but I'm coming back, I'm coming back
You can't kill what I believe
You can't beat it out of me
Don't start your victory lap cause I'm coming back
I'm coming back to life
Had 'whack-a-mole' in my brain
Too many to beat down
As I fought another war
You marched into my town
In the dark for so long
Repeating your vicious song
You can't kill what I believe
You can't beat it out of me
I'm not fixed, you can see the cracks but I'm coming back, I'm coming back
You can't kill what I believe
You can't beat it out of me
Don't start your victory lap cause I'm coming back
I'm coming back to life
The damage will remain
The scars helps me remember
Although I'll always feel the pain I wouldn't change a thing and you'll never win
You can't kill what I believe
You can't beat it out of me
I'm not fixed, you can see the cracks but I'm coming back, I'm coming back
You can't kill what I believe
You can't beat it out of me
Don't start your victory lap cause I'm coming back
I'm coming back to life
Kingdom Of The Blind
Music & Lyrics - Loz Jones
You wanted me to make things then you told me what to make
When you told me how to make them I was another drone to break
Can't just fill the holes with wine
Too many punctures to ignore
So sure I'd rather be poor than payed to make you more
In the kingdom of the blind
It's where I lost my mind
For the likes of you it was designed
Cause in the kingdom of the blind
The one eyed man is king
You suck the joy out of our lives
Stealing all the time we need
Unaware of what you're doing or the level of your greed
You were born up in the clouds
On the ground they start to burn
You send a drop or two of rain a thousand lifetimes couldn't earn
In the kingdom of the blind
It's where I lost my mind
For the likes of you it was designed
Cause in the kingdom of the blind
The one eyed man is king

“After months of isolation Mr Jones has produced a fine body of work. Hard hitting, intelligent and articulate. A complex look into the mind of a writer who pulls no punches. The listener will be connected. ”

“The detail and subtleties in this album are almost endless; while the songs themselves remind us that inspired song writing about serious issues is not yet a lost art form.
This is a very personal and powerful piece of work.
It is, by far, Loz’s best work to date.”
