oldrottenhead the bunkbeds from clydebank scotland bedroom band influenced by the flaming lips and pixies
the bunkbeds are jim higgins and the occasional guest players. home made indy rock lofi musings that doesn't take itself to seriously best describes the music and the band. everything recorded at home all on cheap n nasty equipment. the ultimate bedroom band. of late i have found myself collaborating with musicians the world over, predominantly with lyrics and vocals so if you have a tune banging around that you cant come up with lyrics for send it my way and i'll see if i can help.

Lyrics
The simple act of being I’ve come this way like those before me And those yet still to come It fills me with a sense of wonder To watch the rising sun how many times how many souls Have acted out these scenes It fills me with a sense of wonder The simple act of being There’s no today there’s no tomorrow There’s only here and now What’s past is past No time for sorrow I don’t know why or how how many times how many souls Have acted out these scenes It fills me with a sense of wonder The simple act of being The little things That We all take for granted The everyday Is extraordinary I’m pleased to meet you And hope one day That we will meet again But if we don’t I will remember Will you remember me how many times how many souls Have acted out these scenes It fills me with a sense of wonder The simple act of being The little things That We all take for granted The everyday Is extraordinary music by ken lowry lyrics by james higgins
