You See Me 03:36
lyrics
buy track
You See Me Fires burn and leaves fall, shores wash away. Suns set and wind blows, nothing remains Then you see me, You see me. Then all the darkness goes away, in to the light. To where all the shadows lay out there, just out of sight. You know the weather is better here, even the cold. We’ll paint it all ivory and just live in the fold, live in the fold, With you, with you, with you. Time passes round the bend, end starts again. Lost in the wheel of life, where everything’s the same. Then you see me, You see me.

Docile Media 04:43
lyrics
buy track
Docile Media Stuck in a system that you can not live without A wild perception of your life without a doubt Plugged in to everyone you know but never touch Living behind a screen for you is quite enough May your lives be as good as your posts suggest Collecting likes like all the rest May your lives be as good as your posts suggest Collecting likes like all the rest Filtering colours so that all the world seems bright Snuggling down with your black mirror in the night Your super cool with all those retro things you do Always finding time for a snap or two Making wide statements to folk that aren’t there With an assumption that people really care New commentators bounce opinions to and fro No self awareness only super ego

With These Eyes 04:19
lyrics
buy track
With These Eyes See it with these eyes See through all the lies See it with these eyes I know your telling lies I can see it with these eyes See it with these eyes See it with these eyes You know I’ve seen people die See it with these eyes You take from all of us and you give nothing back, You cheat and lie and steal and tell us to attack. You people ruin lives and put on a different face, To say it’s for the benefit of the entire human race. See it with these eyes You can but only try See it with these eyes Your lies they’ll never fly Because we can all see why You can’t see it with these eyes

Western Problems 03:09

Western Problems I’ve got to do the overtime, that they pay me for I’m to fat to exercise, so I eat some more There’s nothing on the box, yeah my life is a bore I’ve got nothing for tomorrow, I’ve got nothing in store I’ve got Western Problems Stressing out and getting so mad I’ve got Western Problems But they’re really just not that bad I’ve got to warm a desk at work, I’ve got nothing to do I’ve got to buy a couple of shirts, when I’ve only got a few The lack of decent cheese, is really getting me blue I wish that my wee terrace, had a Himalayan view I’ve got Western Problems Stressing out and getting so mad I’ve got Western Problems But they’re really just not that bad We lost a little fortune, in the banking game We never get it wrong, there’s always someone to blame We live in empathy, ‘cause everything is a shame We all care what we look like, but we all look the same I’ve got Western Problems Stressing out and getting so mad I’ve got Western Problems But they’re really just not that bad.

Aeroplane 03:51
lyrics
buy track
Aeroplane I’ve been going on an aeroplane, to find my way and save the day. But the souls not something you can calibrate, you’ve got to wait and take your fate. Cause in the end you say goodbye Leave the old behind For where you draw the lie You are never ever going to find. The final journey you must take alone, to where you’re from and you belong. And I’ll be waiting with a solitaire, to meet you there and we’ll declare. That in the end you say goodbye Leave the old behind For where you draw the lie You are never ever going to find.

Agoo 03:01
lyrics

Agoo I’ve been all round this room And I’ve tastes everything That’s worth tasting But when I see that yellow shine It makes me grin And I go Oooh! I go Oooh! I use my spoon Because I’m not allowed a fork Or so they say I’m quite happy Using my fingers anyway And I go Oooh! I go Oooh! What for do we do the things we do? What for? What for do we learn the things we do? What for? Just for fun, just for fun, just for fun. I never leap I jump I’m hanging with my friends They sing for me I’m quite content to just bounce here So merrily. And I go Oooh! I go Oooh!

Spoolin’ I got rocket fuel running through my veins Gonna take the highway ain’t gonna take no train Gonna turbocharge this rocket ship I’m leaving you behind I’m giving you the slip Gonna rev it up and break the speed of sound Gonna hear my noise ringing all around Gonna drop a gear and take of too the night Gonna burn it up your gonna see my light Spoolin’ down the road with you by my side is the best thing ever Take a chance to overtake it’s now or never In to fifth gear foot on the floor Now your all over my back door Leave you in a mess Just like all the rest I got rocket fuel running through my veins Gonna take the highway ain’t gonna take no train Gonna turbocharge this rocket ship I’m leaving you behind I’m giving you the slip Gonna rev it up and break the speed of sound Gonna hear my noise ringing all around Gonna drop a gear and take of too the night Gonna burn it up your gonna see my light

In a Nutshell 02:45

In A Nutshell This is us in a Nutshell We are free, you and me We are free on a mountain Let us be, just to breathe We were lost on a cloud when I and thee, destined to be We were thrown in together Just to see, how it could be This is how things have worked out As you see in anarchy From a world in disorder You got me for company We are free in a Nutshell We are free, we are free

Frog Song 02:32
lyrics
buy track
Frog Song There’s a little man under the seat I think he’s waiting for another treat He sticks his little froggy eyes out to see Man I’m pretty sure he’s looking at me Pretty sure he’s looking at me He likes the water in the heat of the day Sitting back relaxing in his way He could hop away but he stays In the bowl upon the hill on the bay In the bowl upon the hill on the bay He knows there are better places to be Than sitting in this cabin with me But he’s a resident its easy to see Man I’m pretty sure he’s looking at me Pretty sure he’s looking at me So I moved in to another tree Some fancy lady must have come after me And when she went inside to be relieved She filled the lonely jungle up with a scream Filled the lonely jungle up with a scream The moral of the story you see Is when you go in to a W.C. You should check around the bowl and beneath Cause I’m pretty sure he’s looking at me Pretty sure he’s looking at me

Skelpit Lug Scotland, UK

Playing out of the North East of Scotland, Skelpit Lug are a four piece rock band, created in the chaos and discontentment of the modern era.
