'To Be the King of Something' - Kenneth and Greeny

[Greeny]

Kenneth said he was going to trash the base track of this. I'd previously told him to NEVER throw anything away, because where Ken sees scraps I see treasure.

Anyway, this is what I did with it. Ken hasn't even heard it 

I'm just singing. And having a lot of fun.

eagles fly from her mountain skirts
rubies bleed from her mournful lips
cast adrift in the multiverse
ploughing waves in her dazzle ship

and life is just a grain of sand
a speck of something in your eye

to be the king of something
in the tide on a golden throne
wearing a crown of nothing
in the middle of the fallout zone
fending off the whispered plots
from imaginary enemies
to be the king of something
trying to hold back the sea

you need the full experience
you need to feel it true
intravenous as a lucid dream
the rose that blooms inside of you
take me to the other side
take me to another shore
corridors in the multiverse
a different self behind each door

and life is just a grain of sand
a speck of something in your eye

to be the king of something
in the tide on a golden throne
wearing a crown of nothing
in the middle of the fallout zone
fending off the whispered plots
from imaginary enemies
to be the king of something
trying to hold back the sea

Ken and Tim, this is EPIC !!!! I'm soloing over right now and wishing I had an electric guitar, it didn't happen in yeaaaars!

[Ferryman_1957]

Superb. Really a bit different from both of you. I'm surprised Ken was thinking of ditching this, it's fab, especially the dynamics in both the music and the arrangement. Great sounds all round.

Tim, your vocal really reminded me of Brandon Flowers (which in my book is a really good thing). It's hauntingly wonderful.

Blimey. What a lovely surprise!

[Oldrottenhead]

love it, i am constantly surprised by what Kenneth sends me, telling me he nearly binned it. Like greeny says don't bin a thing kenneth. epic.

[Jean Pierre]

Unbelievable!...how well these lyrics match the music! what a talent both of them have!

[Hilary]

A killer collab guys - congratulations!

[thetworegs]

Listen to Jim and Tim "DON'T BIN ANYTHING" this is excellent love the light and shade in it and excellent vocal Tim pleased Ken decided to send it to you

[Pine]

Yet another good collab by you guys. Cool lyrics well sung...at times an almost pop feel but at others more adult alternative.

"take me to the other side
take me to another shore
corridors in the multiverse
a different self behind each door"........nice!!

Good instrumental work and production. Way to go boys...
