Saturday Afternoon

[Ray Brookes]

Wraiths of steam from my tub
Rise to the ceiling with my thoughts of you
You left behind some makeup crap in my bathroom
Chuck it out is what I ought to do.

No thespian am I
But I always acted with the best intent
Tried to go with the flow as well you know
And respect your theological bent.

Saturday afternoon but it feels like Monday morning.

Everybody's life sometimes
Can just get too intense
We all fight a different private war
From our own different private trench
Your words one minute as hard as stone
Then next minute petal-soft
Above you now the spangling stars of The Plough
Above me The Southern Cross.

Saturday afternoon but it feels like Monday morning.

Now you run to your friends;
The poster girl of the down-trod martyr
Enough crocodile tears shed
To irrigate the whole damn Sahara.

Wraiths of steam from my tub
Rise to the ceiling with my thoughts of you
You left behind some makeup crap in my bathroom
Chuck it out is what I ought to do.

I'm in no state of mind to review this song at the moment, but i have to say that my tired eyes zoomed into the lyrics and caught this line of poetry:

"You left a crap in my bathroom"

Turns out i was missing a word (as a screw), or two.

Evocative sound. Poetic lyrics. Especially the ones you've written. Not the ones i saw.

Yes just so well constructed and written, loving the acoustic guitar, what a great listen.

Ps loving the Australian lyrics too!

[Pipes]

I always get excited when your songs appear

I'm never, ever, dissapointed.

Such class and songwriting abilty, through and through.

Your heart is truly in your creations..Authentically so.. Master of melody

Conviction plus abilty shines through..always.

Had a listen  to this the other night sounded so good, even better on my main speakers now, the music is awesome, has such a great sound to this with the blend of instruments and your vocals are great ,love the sound of the guitar on this, a really gorgeous song Ray. great story telling, its now monday but feels like monday lol

[Farrell Jackson]

An excellent song, recording and production! Some real fine vocals and lyric Ray. The acoustic guitars sound great but the mid section acoustic finger picking/solo is the icing on the cake for me...nice!
