For the Money

Things of consequence
Make such perfect sense.
And once again, two and three make five...
Such pressings on your time,
Ambition's not a crime.
Holoparasites are pretty when they thrive.
'Grace can't pay the rent',
She's broken and she's spent.
But underneath she is made from gold.
This sparkling hinterland
Put logic in your hand,
Gave all herself so you could trade her soul.
The good will surely come,
Your swindling undone...
We still get to taste
What you wouldn't pay for.
The power became mine,
The notes fell off the line -
They won't dance while you are
In it for the money.
Insincerity
Made a fool of me.
We fell for that one once too often.
You painted my blues red,
The colours ate your head
To find your heart and make it soften.
The good will surely come,
Your swindling undone.
We still get to taste what you wouldn't pay for.
Your powers become mine,
The notes slid off the line...
They won't dance while you are in it for the money.

Softly
04:15

I'm on the edge of the edge of the world,
Falling, calling, closing and curled.
Wading through dreams trying to hide from the drums,
Wake me, shake me, before the rain comes.
Softly, sing to me.
Softly, sing to me.
Everyone knows that still waters run deep,
Drinking, sinking, the secrets you keep.
Changers and strangers cut paths through the soul...
Why be complete when complete isn't whole?
Softly, sing to me.
Softly, sing to me.

Crystal & Crime
04:30
|

|
Neither the time or the space,
Neither the good or the good grace.
Caught in this middle and wildly free,
Known at this distance and too close to see.
Sensational
Sensational
Crystal and crime halted our tongue,
Breathing was mine while they held my lung.
Caught in this middle, falling outside.
We were the pure and still purified.
Sensational.
Sensational.
(we turned to the shore, tears turned to water...)

Nic Evennett UK
Singer-songwriter from Kent, UK.
"Nic Evennett casually takes flight into the kind of
harmonic territory that leaves other songwriters standing."
Tom Robinson, BBC 6 Music.
"Evennett’s voice is a delicate mystery, warm and lustrous, yet fragile and crystalline – a bewitching blend of Kate Bush and Linda Perhacs, surrounded by dolorous, reverb-drenched piano..."
Andee Connors, Pandora
