lyrics

This house is so big and old
Unfamiliar, the rooms are large and cold
The corners are hidden away
The cushions are silk and pink
None of these furnishings are to my taste
But i live here and all this stuff is mine
I wonder ‘what is it all doing here?’ ‘
How the hell did this happen?’

And this light is too pale
I'm convinced there's someone walking around

I hear distant echoing sounds
And suddenly they all stop
Like they never existed at all
Like i made them all up
There's no fun or music in here
It's dull and empty, there's a feeling of nothingness
And everything is so deadly still
In this masquerading grand bohemian house
Full of beautiful things
Devoid of any trace of warmth

A curious house. A clown's house. A cold home.

about

Roger Hammond Amsterdam, Netherlands

Based near Amsterdam. I write, play guitar, sing and record. I try to write interesting lyrics and occasionally I think they are. A lot of the songs end up with a calm sound and emphasize the vocals and acoustic guitar. My early influences were Paul Simon, Tom Waits, Jethro Tull, David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Chopin, The Beatles, Elvis Costello, Otis Redding and a ton more along the way ... more
