100mph alternative-country-rock overdose
acoustic folk rock
Dave Stannard plays the acoustic guitar and sings, by himself, all on his own.
While he sings and plays, he also dances around a lot and is good fun to watch. He calls this "a performance"; most people agree.
His songs are actually written by him, and not others, usually. Sometimes the songs turn out quite catchy and people sing them in the bath or play them on local radio shows.
Story behind the song
Went out
Got drunk
Fell over in a bin at a party
Lyrics
Oh what a beautiful way to go
I’m out of my mind I can’t find my way home
I know I’m hardly sane
I’m done and dusted again
She captivates my soul, only wants it all, just for a moment
An inch inside my head, there’s a message nearly read, join in the expectation
Well I’ve seen it all before, laughed ‘till we’re red raw, we were only laughing
‘Cos I feel fine, I think in time, but I’m moving like an animation
Rising up on the big one gimme a poison bigger than the last time deeper than a coal mine
I’m ready for an instant of emotion
Tell me that I feel fine haven’t got a notion
Touch me, squeeze me, bite me, frighten me, stop
Stop me, stop me, stop me I can see trees
What I need is explanation, give me your infatuation
pulling into Euston station
It pacifies my heart, she only needs a part, just nothing too deep
A miracle instead, no need to wish me dead, I feel I can see straight through me
Because I’m stumbling out the door, I’m falling through the walls, need a commendation
Well I need a line, I think in time, but I’m moving like I’m nearly dancing
