Temple
Words and Music by Samson Bedford
4.01.09
VOLCANOES
I can’t feel my heart
Though I hear it beating
I suffered in my desert, rare rain never satisfied
Desire left me hollow, I’d guessed but I’d like to try
The starry nights so barren, alone many comforts fake
Where is my salvation and what form will my saviour take
Over two hills I wandered, each peak red rocks and a tweak
My mind painted a mirage, not fooled I toiled through the heat
Down a slender ravine, a cave and a burning bush
Behold I found my Venus, there’s water here my thirst was touched
A temple in the desert boy
Sparks on every nerve
Find your function show your grace
Love is such a learning curve
Illusive temple I have found
Secrets of your scroll
She’ll put the man inside of me
Quick of the tongue I should know
I can feel my heart
Woman is the answer
I can feel my heart
Woman is the way
She took me on a mission, the moon high and full that night
Round and round we tumbled, no cease to her apatite
I learned she is electric, a force fathoms deeper yet
The seed am I the land is she is we most combine lest I forget
She said show your love
I showed her my love and it was good
She said show your love
I showed her my love and I must admit it was a little bit scarey at first, we took off all clothes and it was kind of freaky
Night times tremble, oh I found my temple
Day times cuddle, oh I worship here
Night times tremble, oh I found my temple
Day times cuddle, oh I love you dear
I’ve got so much to study, female my mystery
Across the Universe, oh you set me free
I’ve got so much to study, girl you’re the sweetest fruit
And I will love you louder I see no end, no end, now I’ve found my youth

What You Came For
Music and lyrics by Sam Bedford
17.1.09
VOLCANOES
My friends
Are not what they seem through a distant eye
They laugh and push like that lot
But there’s trouble in their skulls and the gang divides
We get out
Yeah we hit it hard under the weekends kiss
But it’s getting edgy
Look who has returned in the search for kicks
What you came for
There’s no name for
Moving in with weird effect
I’ve seen your likes before how could I forget
My mates
Have acquired a certain grin for this time of night
He’s got them in his grip now
There is no other way much to his delight
Yeah we get out
We get out but it’s not my ride
My 19th year repeating
I’ve seen this fall apart on the other side
What you came for
There’s no name for
Moving in with weird effect
Working round me
And as you’re carried away,
Be careful not to spread it out
There’s no confidence that we can hack
Curious, but not I’ve scars if I react

Oliver Charles Darwin
Words and melody Samson Bedford
VOLCANOES
I’m never alone
But it aint that great
He puts a funky thought in my head
And then I’m running around in a figure of eight
Singing Oliver Charles Darwin is here
Ah ha
Another dirty day
Though I commit no crime
I’ve got the guilt of a murderer
No I can’t relax when he’s by my side
Singing Oliver Charles Darwin is here
With an uneasy smile now nothing is clear
Ah ha
Don’t you want to check
I’ll feel at ease if we retrace our steps
He left me searching through clues but there’s a million assaults of the facts
Oh Oliver D
Have we been terrorising you and me
Oh you’ve lead me astray and I’m to blame for that
I don’t know what I’ve done but I must go back
I must go back
Oliver tapping on my window pain
He can make my brain strange
Oliver Charles Darwin
Oliver tapping on my window pain
He can make my brain strange
Oliver Charles Darwin
I’m never alone
But it aint that great
He puts a funky thought in my head
And then I’m running around in a figure of eight
Singing Oliver Charles Darwin is here
With an uneasy smile now nothing is clear
You’ve lead me astray and I’m to blame for that
He knows I’m feeling the worst so I must go back
I must go back

Making Progress
Music by Samson Bedford
Volcanoes
Don’t get any ideas young me, you wont get nothing no matter how you’re sounding
Banging out tunes forever and a day, just singing to yourself in different surroundings
But you didn’t listen and neither did your friends, had few practices and formed band
4 bands later and a change of drummer, 208 broken strings and a sore hand
I don’t feel like I’m making progress
Bottom of the food chain bottom of the bill
No you wont hear this coz we didn’t make progress
Not on the radio, in my Bedroom still
Out go the demos a million dreams, we wait by our phones but there’s nothing vibrating
Nothing gets plugged coz we’re not popular, we aint got a buzz - so I guess we’ll be waiting
Still we got a review good old Sandman, looks like we’re hotly tipped
And that review was short and sweet, you’ll never get far because your music’s shit
I don’t feel like I’m making progress
Bottom of the food chain bottom of the bill
No you wont hear coz we didn’t make progress
Not on the radio, in my Bedroom still
Nice we’ve got a gig with a touring band
A Leadmill night and we might be discovered
We’ve had to sell 50 tickets for the pleasure
Our friends are skint and we don’t do covers
No soundcheck and we can’t borrow kit
Headliners late and another band squeezed
Yet the crowd do us proud at 7.30
To bad we played at 6.15
