about

"Crash right through your stained glass mirror eyes". This seemed like an appropriate first line for my entry into the recorded public domain (in the realm of songs as opposed to instrumentals). I hope I can crash through into the "cathedral of your soul" - a vast place my friend, a vast place...

lyrics

Crash right through your stained glass mirror eyes
into...
the cathedral of your soul
Some half crazed kama-karmic stuntman
all I can do
is hit the ground and roll
There was a moment back there
I was hurtling through the air
and I swear that we both knew
you
would never belong to me, no no I
would never belong to you
but if you want to loan me for a while
turns out my rates are pretty cheap
you don't even have to speak
you could enslave me for a week
with one casually thrown away smile...

Torn out of the garden and thrown onto the road
where every gift I have been given fills my suitcase like a stone
well I'm standing at your doorway in a borrowed set of clothes
and if there's one thing that I've learned
every time I have been burned
it's that you've gotta be reborn
on the sharpness of the thorn
if you wanna know
the essence
of a rose

A hommage to thee gentle creature
from this barnacle and jewel encrusted rock
I've crawled across a valley just to meet you
and I'm still not sure it's right for me to knock
so help me...

Wrenched off the highway and tossed into the sky
ain't ever gonna know how, or why
or what is right
but I'm dreaming through the day
and wandering through the night
and if there's one thing that I've learned
every time I have been burned
it's that you've gotta be reborn
on the sharpness of the thorn
if you wanna know
the sweetness...
of a rose

Now I'm torn out of the garden
and thrown onto the road
and I'm standing at your doorway
in a borrowed set of clothes
my suitcase
is filled with stones
and I've come here
because
I wanna know...

about

Jamie David/Miracle Band X image

Jamie David/Miracle Band X Fremantle, Australia

Jamie David is a uniquely idiosyncratic story-telling songwriter. His interests in a broad range of music and musical ideas - inside and outside of popular culture - have led to a one of a kind genre-defying, meta-eclectic style. Wanting to add colour and texture to the story-telling, he has long engaged a fabulous floating line up of exceptional musicians in his collective "Miracle Band X" ... more
