"Saving Face Machine"
music & lyrics by Ross Allaire, aka "Gunshy, aka "[+RØSS]"
written 2006, recorded 2007

i hate sentences that start with 'i'
but you love anything that's all about you
and that fact didn't occur to me until recently
when i shook my head in the utter disbelief of the way it used to be
when i was sleeping

i had a dream about you and you were somebody else
i had a dream about you but you were somebody else

if i learned anything in school, it was to not give a shit
and be no one's fool (or tool)
because you say that this world is an open book
but i don't understand the language that it's printed in
and done with disappearing/reappearing ink, as well
i swear to god
(that's all he's good for)

i had a dream about you and you were somebody else
i had a dream about you but you were somebody else
i had a dream about you and you were robotic
i had a dream about you but then it all went to hell

a world war starts tonite
but you're busy trying on new clothes
how did you want it?
what did you expect, kiddo?
i'm just a sullen freak
but you're the freakin president

and we were made to be apart
only after these events we know
didved we stand, united we fall
that at least spares us the torture of saving face

lyrics to "Saving face Machine"

one of the catchiest ross songs <33
i never knew what the last word was for "what did you expect, kiddo" i just thought it was like. i dont know.

how's the music coming? its been a while since an upload. im not saying rush it, I was just wondering.

very true. it has been way too long.
and what i'll submit, you're the only one who's heard it already!
but new stuff is coming down the pipeline... and it should sound like the clash meets pink floyd and nirvana at a coffee house

"and it should sound like the clash meets pink floyd and nirvana at a coffee house"

sounds like a recipe for a disaster :P in a good way. im excited :D

ok, better way to say it might be... uh...
...the clash vs the beatles... with early nirvana as referee ...it's all theoretical anyway... there's something altogether more pop-metal with some of the newer material, and dark folk/blues stylings with the older material i just haven't recorded until now.
but my recording PROCESS and overall sound is going to be A LOT more raw and noisy punk-influenced than anything else, even while being faster and more melodic... so that's where The Clash and early Nirvana come in. i've been listening to Bleach and London Calling for production tips. a lot of this next album will be more single-guitar or 2-guitar recordings. (As opposed to, say, "Sick, Tired, Down" which has 17 guitars in it or something... big wall of sound. but this time around i want to try for a raw, crisp sound.)

in some late night haze i said, "it's gonna sound like a loud fast pop punk power metallic prog grunge crystalline entity fillet mignon bouillabaisse stew hullabaloo root down falcon punch angry salad birthday cake"
