OrangeColumbo: rock/pop with a distinct air of Americana

I'm currently working with OrangeColumbo on putting together a demo that a couple of record labels have expressed serious interest in hearing. We've already written half a dozen tracks together, and are putting the finishing touches to a few more.

Pull The Stars Down was one of the first lyrics I wrote for him. It came to me more or less in one go, while I was drugged up on penicillin to treat a bout of pneumonia. Dirty Fingernails took a little longer.

• Dirty Fingernails
• Pull The Stars Down

I'm torn in two,
all shades and hues;
a maudlin drunk,
a man on...

I'm torn in two,
all shades and hues;
a maudlin drunk,
a man on fire.
I can't resist.
I kiss your lips.
I'm mesmerised
by your blue eyes.

I'm torn in two,
all shades and hues.
I'm ripped apart
by this desire.
You're like a match
that holds my gaze
and I'm a house
that's up in flames.

I wanna find a place
with no-one else around
where we can pull the stars down.

I'm torn in two,
all shades and hues;
a maudlin drunk,
a man on fire.
I can't resist.
I kiss your lips.
I'm mesmerised
by your blue eyes.

I wanna find a place
with no-one else around
where we can pull the stars down.

I wanna find a place
with no-one else around
where we can pull the stars down.
