Rain drops red from the trees
Is this the missing puzzle piece
In our fading history?
Touching the dusk
The thought is to put your head down
Like dappled light lets the sunshine spin around
And I thought only lovers
Would ever be so happy like I am
I thought only lovers Would feel complete
I’ll meet you again and again
And again and again
I’ll love you again and again
And again and again
See my heart in its place
Speak my words right back to me
And embrace eternity
Hold and let this be safe
Curled and tucked up here asleep
This heart in fantasy
And I thought only lovers
Would ever be so happy as I an
I thought only lovers would feel complete
I’ll meet you again and again
And again and again
I’ll love you again and again
And again and again

Ocean Family

at night I’ll be wrapped nice
in these small hours
would you share ?
If I were hidden would you seek
And down this vision light
won’t follow me there ?
Tender is the hand that holds the water down
And loving is the arrow wounding me
I never want to hurt in anyway you won’t deserve
And I was stranded in my ocean family
Would you love anyone, anyone but me?
Did you really think I’d let you ?
Would you love anyone, anyone but me?
You’re only made of memories
Would you love anyone, anyone but me?
In emptiness are we both waiting?
Would you love anyone, anyone but me?
o my son is leaving me
Come to midnight
Call to the sun
Nightshade and colours
And another smoking gun
If I were hunting
would you be caught
Tell me how my every effort is overwrought ?
Tender is the hand that holds the water down
And loving is the arrow wounding me
I never want to hurt in anyway you won’t deserve
And I was stranded in my ocean family
Would you love anyone, anyone but me?
Did you really think I’d let you ?
Would you love anyone, anyone but me?
You’re only made of memories
Would you love anyone, anyone but me?
In emptiness are we both waiting?
Would you love anyone, anyone but me?
o my son is leaving me

Witch

I was a Witch. I transform in the moonlight
Oh, I was a boy again
I was in love. I was in love
I was in love
Though I was a Witch, I was born in the daylight, the light is where I live
I was in love. I was in love? I was in love
I was in love. I was in love? I was in love
You said "I saved you! I saved you
And this is how you repay
You'd do anything for love
Do anything for love
You know I held you so tenderly
Wrapped the fabric tight around me
'Cause the blue won't show enough
Do anything for love
Industry made ghosts in my room
Awake at night and all I need is you
Aphrodite got me confused
O what's a poor boy to do
I was a Witch. I transform in the moonlight
Oh, I was a boy again
I was in love. I was in love
I was in love
Though I was a Witch, I was born in the daylight, the light is where I live
I was in love. I was in love? I was in love
I was in love. I was in love? I was in love

My tender loving Calypso
I lay vacant at your feet
I dream that through the rafters
Sings the melody so sweet
But my heart belongs to another
So my heart it breaks each day
I cannot be the man for you
So please send me away
I hear you talking about me
You know she sits a little too close
And you could go on without me
You know she sits a little too close
My tender loving my true love
She knows I’m coming home
To tell her all that I’ve done
Call her again my own
So when I speak of your beauty
As I will speak I’ll say
I cannot be the man for you
So please send me away
I hear you talking about me
You know she sits a little too close
And you could go on without me
You know she sits a little too close
I hear you talking about me
You know she sits a little too close
And you could go on without me
You know she sits a little too close

Lonely Teen

Pushed myself down
And I couldn’t breathe
A multitude of things unsaid
And never any peace
Open door and job
You’re feeling old and seen
Throwing rocks at my window
Like a lonely teen
But last time I saw you
You seemed down
It don’t have to be here
Baby let the words out
A hurricane of thought
And it’s all very loud
I see the waves you made
Just to be here now
Tell me where you’ve been
Tell me what you see
Did you write it down
Or ever think of me ?
It’s another lifetime
Another one to go
But everybody here has
More heartbreak than you know
But last time I saw you
You seemed down
It don’t have to be here
Baby let the words out
A hurricane of thought
And it’s all very loud
I see the waves you made
Just to be here now

Pretty Words
02:54

You run from the highest tide
Forget that she comes here everyday
You can’t pin foundations down
And ask the earth around you not to change
Said you felt incomplete like a lover
Like a half was taken away
Tear out a half of somebody else
And hope that they then feel the same
She will not know your children
She will not learn your name
Many wasted nights have I tried
To love her all the same
Where’d you run to?
Forget that we see you from the blue?
Such pretty words
Who you talking to?
Feelings to bleed out and over you?
Just need more time to
She’s home as the favourite son
So wonderful mm they love you still
Helena it’s to soften you
In the way that having favourites will
In someone else’s words
You’re better off alone
If only all this heartache
Just didn’t follow me home
You never want to leave
Cause where else could you go?
Can you learn from me?
Love’s wave crashing on a heart of stone
She will not know your children
She will not learn your name
Many wasted nights have I tried
To love her all the same
Where’d you run to?
Forget that we see you from the blue?
Such pretty words
Who’re you talking to?
Feelings to bleed out and over you?
Just need more time to

The People Versus Oxford, UK
Haunting Folk Fairytales powered by sheer pop euphoria
If you like The People Versus, you may also like:
supported by 4 fans who also own “The People Versus”
I do not normally cry because of music, or fiction in general. Chords made me cry. Every time I listen to it, it still feels like a warm, tight goodbye hug. But it isn't what convinced me to buy this album, because damn, I knew I would right from the start of Secret Worlds, and knew it ever more at every song. The way the songs here can combine to tell a whole new story, and even reference others from The Horror and the Wild, is just magnificent.

The Horror and the Wild
by The Amazing Devil
supported by 4 fans who also own “The People Versus”
I discovered this band mere weeks ago through pure chance; someone recommended Fair in a discussion about wholesome songs. And it was; love at first listen. YouTube recommended me Battle Cries next, so I gave that a listen too, and the the energy and the overlapping lyrics made me fall in love anew. I bought this album and Ruin less than a day later. Everything TAD have made is true art, different from everything else I've heard.
