Rainbow painted a story about me

Photographs that I took

Indigo

Track four on Painfully Mainstream.   Painfully Mainstream's bandcamp: The song is one quarter of a tetralogy of songs named after the four seasons: &quot;Springsong&quot;, &quot;Summersong&quot;, &quot;Autumnsong&quot;, and &quot;Wintersong&quot;.  An early version available on  Ephemera: Demos and Unreleased Stuff 2007-10.   Ephemera: Demos and Unreleased Stuff 2007-10's bandcamp:  

We're running out of water
F C
Summer's turning out to be too hot
A Dm Bb
For going out except in shade
C F

The sun keeps rising every day
And I hate how it just stays that way
The nights are too short these days

I keep on thinking how mankind
Would shrivel up and burn and die
If we were fired into the sun

the noise cuts off my head some days
I wish that I was dead in ways
I'm better now I'm only one

But that's just how it's got to be
Bb
I need to get used to it
F
Six billion people people think that me
Bb
Is more important than the rest
F
But that's just how it's meant to be
C
There's people living who aren't me
Bb F

C, G, F x2

My friend here said that I should write a song
C G F
And once I'd written for him I moved on
C G F
To bigger chords and more complex rhyming schemes
C G E Am
And now I think that I
G F
Should really try again
Fm

It's hard to say in such a short amount of time
When every single line has got to rhyme
I think that I can work it out this time
Now it's not just a phase
All I do these days

Is put my friends into song
C G/C F/C
Playing keys and writing lines of righting wrongs
C G A
And how they're such lovely people
F G
And I'd never live without them in the end
C G Am G F Fm

So wait for five more years and look for me one day
And when you've found me just walk up to me and say
Remember me, I'm Jakey P,
I'm everything I want to be and I
Think you should try

To put me into song
Playing keys and writing lines of righting wrongs
And how I'm such a lovely person
And you'd never live without me in the end
I'll always be your friend

Who the hell are they anyway

Bb                          F

The ones who say tomorrow's just another day

And there are plenty more fish in the sea

Not for me

Dissect them on a tray

Had nurtured me naturally from the womb

Why I Shouldnt Have Let You In

Verse:
C F
Last week I ran downtown 
G	 C
To see you and tell you I loved you. 
C	 F
But just before I reached your door 
G	 C
I stopped and looked above to 
F C
Pray to anyone who'd hear me 
F
Getting the pluck 
F C
To wish myself luck and say 

Chorus:
C
You're the reason to my rhyme 
C
And it's a shame, no it's a crime 
F
That I've not told you that I love you 
F
Cause I've never found the time, 
C
You're my happiness and sadness, 
C
You're the method to my madness. 
F
Nobody I'd rather be with, 
F C
Nobody I'd ever be with.

Rhyme And Reason

G                          Dm

I want to know why
F                                       C

Things you say about Tories and trains just pass by,
G                                Dm

Every word that you say,
F                                     C

Cats with captions and train alterations, each day

G                                      Dm

There's a new little something of interest,
F                                         C

Shared with me in the best way that you can.
G                                   Dm

Shining wit, and a passion for irony,
F                             C

See the absurd in a national tragedy.

F                  C                            Bb

One and the same in our own different way.
F                            C                                Bb

We'll hit the big time and set a new low in the same day.
F                                C

And we'll be the men that we wanted to be,
Bb

Our own Wright, Frost and Pegg but much better you see,
F

And I know this is true,
C

Yes I know this is true,
Bb

Cause we made a film.

G                                         Dm

Working hard through the night,
F                                 C

Fed on laughter and cola, sit bathed in the light
G                                  Dm

Of your Macintosh screen
F                                       C

Picking out the best bits of the things that we've seen.

G                              Dm

There's so many adventures we've had
F                   C

And not one of them bad for the lives that we lead
G                                Dm

Achieving the goals that we set as we go
F                                   C

And I'll never say no, I will never say no to one more.

F                          C                 Bb

One and the same in our own different way.
F                             C                                   Bb

We'll hit the big time and set a new low in the same day.
F                                C

And like blood and ice cream poured into a bowl
Bb

Oh, it doesn't seem right but just somehow we go,
F

And I know this is true,
C

Yes I know this is true,
Bb

Cause we made a film.

                                        F
Gets turned completely upside down
          G
Now I am here

C                            Am6
  I wish that I could be
                     F
Invisible at ninety degrees
          G
And slide away

C                                   Am6
You chemical reactions aren't the same as mine
            F
We are indifferent to each other
          G
And I can't remember why
                                       Am6
Your chemical reactions aren't the same as mine
               F                               G
We are indifferent to each other

C                                                 Am6
Strange, that though we're fully grown
                                          F
If someone asked us, we wouldn't know
             G
Why we do this

C                          Am 6
    I wish that I could be
                                  F
On every screen, on every TV
G                                                   C
Stay here, will you, it's gonna be alright
                                       Am6
Your chemical reactions aren't the same as mine
               F
We are allergic to each other

C                                          Am6
Strange, although this is the end
                           F
I want to be the only friend 
                G
Who understands you

C                             Am6
   I wish that I could be
                    F
Invisible at every degree
      G                                                  C
To stay and watch you cry when I am gone
  
                           Am6
Your chemical reactions aren't the same as mine
               F
We are allergic to each other
              G
And we can't remember why
C                                    Am6
Your chemical reactions aren't the same as mine
                 F                                 G
We are indifferent to each other

The world is strange the world is strange
G

It’s all a game a shooting range
Am

For apathy and empathy
D

Psychology and therapy
Em

and even if I'm eloquent
G

it all defies my sentiment
Am

The information’s always there
D

It’s in your food and tangled in your hair
Em

and I see the exoskeleton
G

it’s PVC or gelatin
Am

or wood or lead or anything
D

From water, mud, or medicine
Am

So here’s a song about everything 
Em             G

let me cut it open 
     Am              D

and explore the information
       Em                 G

in the pipes that make it mazes of
  Am       D

logistical hollisticism
Em                 G

Deep thought is in everyone 
    Am            D                    Em (STRUM THRICE)

and everyone’s in deep thought all the time
Em

Harbouring intangibly
G

is everything you mean to me
Am

I’ll open up your humming heart
D

if only I knew where to start
Em

The microscopes replace my eyes
G

and everything it magnifies
Am

is something new that everywhere
D

you cast a shadow on the atoms in the air
Em

and I see the breath you’re drawing in
G

you’re like a moving mannequin
Am

There shouldn't be a thing inside
D

but I could understand you if I tried
Am

and let me tell you I’ve tried and tried
Em                G

So let me cut you open 
    Am          D

and explore the information
        Em
                 G

in the pipes that make you mazes of
Am         D

elusive existentialism
Em           G

Multivac is everyone
        Am        D

And everyone's a circle in the ground
Em

There’s no emotion in my eyes
G

I’m just a robot in disguise
Am

passion when it came to me
D

was more than sonic fallacy
Em

and I can feel a torch down the back of my throat 
G

Illuminating from behind the puny words that I wrote
Am                                    D

don’t trust me anymore i just don’t trust me anymore
Em                G

Am                D

and explore the information

in the pipes that make a maze out of my

logical determinism
Em              G

I am HAL and HAL is me and

Verse 1:
           B
I'm going back to the time when we owned this town
      E
Down Powder Mill Lane, in the battlegrounds
C#m        B                   G#m  B     F#
We were friends and lovers and clueless clowns


Verse 2:
                      B       
I didn't know I'd be finding out now I was torn from you
         E
When we thought about things we were gonna do
C#m      B                    G#m B  F# 
We were wide eyed dreamers and wiser too


Chorus:
               E              B 
Go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café


Verse 3:
                          B
I'm begging you for some sign, but you've still got nothing to say
        E
Don't turn your back on me, don't walk away
C#m     B                   G#m  B   F#
I'm a better man now than I was that day


Chorus:
                      E              B 
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                 E               B
Go down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                      E                     G#m   F#     
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café


Bridge:
   E        B           F#
I wheel my bike off the train,
        F#
Up the North Trade Road,
 E        B             F# 
Look for you on Marley Lane
                          G#m
In every building, every streetlight
                   E               F#  G#m  B  F#
Oh why did we ever go so far from home?


Verse 4:
                        B
You keep on leaving me mile long traces of who you are
         E
You can get a big house and a faster car
C#m      B                    G#m   B  F#
You can run away boy, but you won't go far


Chorus:
                      E              B
Let's go down to the rides on East Parade,
        G#m                   F#
by the lights of the Palace Arcade
                    E                     G#m   F#   
Watch night coming down on the Sovereign Light Café

                    E                B
Stroll down to the bandstand on the pier
           G#m                    F#
Watch the drunks and the lovers appear
                     E                      G#m   F#
Take time, just the stars at the Sovereign Light Café

La la la la la la la la Yeah,

[intro x2]
A  E  D A

A                                        E
when there's no place you feel at home
              D                               A
and you think you'd be better off alone
A                                          E
when you think there's no reason to try
               D                           A
and you hate yourself and wanna die

A                                      E
when you're filled with anxiety
             D                   A
and everyone's your enemy
A                                        E
when you wish you were someone else
                 D                        A
and you wanna go out and kill yourself

ooh you're overreacting

(take your time)


A                       E
when you get yourself depressed
                      D                   A
because you think you can't do your best
A                                         E
when you write yourself a stupid song
           D                        A
to remind yourself that you forgot

[chorus]

E D                 A

I know these roof top nights could last forever.
              A                            Bm
we watched the seasons change, we saw the distance pull us away,
           A
from all we shared together.

Right now is all we have you better make this count

    Em    A
lets run away.
D                             A                             Bm

I picked apart every word that you said
  Bm                              A
I dissected each sentence but kept coming up empty
D                         A
the way you are leaves me counting the days
        Bm                            A
till the next time this distance will be a memory

American Dream 

G Bm Em A
Well everybody's lookin' for something they can't find,
Walking straight ahead blind-folded production line,
Only taking time for one type of shoe-shine.
Don't look left/right now you got a street fine.
Everybody lookin' for just a little more.
Working late-nights trying to fight off the day glow.
Waiting for the come-around but it is a no show.
Driving in the fast lane lookin' for the slow-mo...

C D A
Oh whats in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know well I don't know man anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time you,
Where were you, you weren't listenin', gonna be a long time
Gonna be a long time.

G Bm Em A
So now you're face down, face lookin like a frying pan.
Hitting up the clubs trying to feel like a real man.
Beating your chest just like you're King Kong but you're just a gui-tar no-string no-song.
Feeling free like ya don't even know it, man you're towing the line hoping you just don't blow it.
Man ya stuck in the mainframe trying to win the big game so much potential it even makes it more of a shame, shame, shame...
Here we go again, same old shit just another name.
Looking at the destiny there in your palm,
But now you got your strings but you got no song.
So sing, sing, sing - shake it like a chicken wing.
It's not what you get it's about what you bring-bring-bring.
So bring it, bring it to the table, not because you have to 'cos you're willing and you're able!

C D A
Oh what's in store I don't know anymore.
Oh what's inside 'cos I can't hide from it no more.
Oh what you see well it's not me anymore.
Oh I don't know, I don't know anymore because 

G Bm Em A
I tell you once I tell you twice, gonna be a long time.
But you don't take no one's advice, gonna be a long time.
You, where were you, you weren't listening, gonna be a long time.
Gonna be a long time.

Gonna Be A Long Time

C#
There's a portrait
     Ab
In a back room
           F#
Which I'll keep for days upon
          C#
Which I relent 
              B
And gaze for hours on
    Bbm                  F#
The muscle, skin and bone
         Ab
Of some imaginary friend

F# Ab F#

        C#
So how about it 
        Ab
Show me please 
           F#
How I will look in twenty years
           C#
And let me please 
          B
Interpret history 
       Bbm        F#
In every line and scar 
               Ab                  
That's painted there in front of me

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

           C#
It doesn't matter
         Ab
What I'm thinking
       F#
What I tell myself to do
         C#      F#
I end up calling

       C#
I stay in to
                   Ab
Defrost the fridge
        F#
Now the kid has gone to bed
             C#
A feeling of dread
              B         
At least when she's around
    Bbm
The trouble's there
     F#                        Ab
It's worse to wake up with her falling 'round the room

F# Ab F# Ab F# Ab

       C#
Listen Johnny
              F#
You're like a mother
       C#                     F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

       C#
Listen Johnny
              Ab
You're like a mother
       F#
To the girl you've fallen for
                 C#
And you're still falling

            B
And if they come tonight
       Bbm
You'll roll up tight
     F#             Ab
And take whatever's coming to you next (oh, oh oh oh)

 F# Ab to end.
