demo: [audio:http://donalkelly.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/whatgood.mp3|titles=What Good Is it Gonna Do Us?] Running from your lovers to the covers of the others who will tell you they are brothers and then dissapear for ever and they never say, that do they? Calling all the shots to carve a plot with what you got but there is not a real…

Speedily peddled lyrics abuzz with freshly meshed ardent anguish.
Real Heart
[audio:http://donalkelly.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Huh.mp3|titles=Huh?]Huh? So a verse- Am G D (fingerpicked) then… G Bm C G as a chorus The verse and chorus don’t sit that well, not a totally natural transition, but it does sound ok. Then lyrics… I guess it’s a rest from ourselves. Must be a test to see what is real. I should have…
Season Shift
[audio:http://donalkelly.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/seasonShift.mp3|titles=Season Shift] Oh, have you landed, have you stopped? When no one demanded that you dropped. Autumn leaves are falling at our feet. And summer’s rays are running out of heat. Oh, our season’s out of fashion now. Slowly reasons shouted quieten down. Weathered trees are waiting for their wind. Can’t stand up if you…
See You
[audio:http://donalkelly.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/cu.mp3|titles=See You] Brief Lives, surprised. Lately, closed Eyes. Soft touch, sweet rush. Wasted, pulled punch. See you, Follow through. See you, Feel So blue. Who spoke? Bad joke. Hardly, half broke. Good times, good things. Poor rhymes, round swings. See you, follow through. See you, feel so blue.
Somebody New, Somebody Now
Under my arm, books full of winding words. Wonderful yarns, pointing out to other worlds. Under some spell, can’t see past this week. Giving it hell, inheriting from the meek. Driving from the back seat, car won’t slow down. Waking from a bad dream, the face beside me clears my frown. Can’t stop thinking, my…
lost keys
on the edge of the world stand alone at the waves in the back of your mind where you going to be saved? we are stealing from the future We are dreaming hollow rhyme we have borrowed many fortunes we have followed broken time. have you seen where we are living rising up above the…
last minute checks
[audio:http://donalkelly.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/lastMinuteChecks.mp3|titles=Last Minute Checks]You say that you’re climbing Always inspiring, without a clue You say you’re still growing Only unfolding, now look at you When you’re positively, Floating on empty, what can you do? You’re totally open, Made to be broken, then pull on through? Now it’s time to go, get caught up in the flow,…
Saturated
[audio:http://donalkelly.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Saturated.mp3|titles=Saturated] Baby it’s too hard to say it, but too late to stop, In a moment it’s all gone for good. And I can’t help but feeling, that this is the top. We’ve taken as much as we could. Now the motion explodes, we are forced to forge on, Moved to let go and make…
Notes from Underground
Demo: [audio:http://donalkelly.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/notesFromUnderground.mp3|titles=Notes From the Underground] You been running away, calling out names And it’s a lot on your plate, give it away ohh, down, to the underground ohh down, away from the crowd Too long hanging around, and you know you’re not moving It’s the same old story that you’re really improving ohh, down, picking…
On the Up and Up
wait, one more time again ever expanding speeches trading off the win to burn away the leeches you will never pass this way not your kind of place Though I can live with that I’d much prefer to stay will, you float above these things? no fading in these dreams washed away in bits returning…
a whole lot of nothing
a whole lot of nothing say where you been gone, the only thing I know is that the end is a coming, leading us along, party at your house but the doors are all locked and windows boarded up, weeds in the garden they told us not to stay, told us to grow up but…
streetegy
streetegy [audio:http://donalkelly.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/streetegy.mp3|titles=streetegy] Your stare is following the sound I can’t be found, I’m not around And though we’re trying hard, We’re losing touch, caught in this rush We go moving up the board For nothing much, the greater good. We roll from square to square, As checkmate nears, we face our fears One last push…
Another sidelong glance will suffice
it’s all consuming, rest assured Out the other side for sure We are beating all around the bush Breaking bottles in a rush Nearly ready to be fooled, Prepare and sharpen your sharpest tools Almost time to draw the line From your space to mine From your space to mine, Share a little of the…
Distorted Expressions of Selfness
I’ve worked too long to let it go My grip, the fit, the form, the flow, Holding on and holding off for something slow Words, a theme, some random tune, Your smile, my frown, the cresent moon, Hanging on and trying to find the way to go Express yourself and walk away, No other truth…
Scattershot (blues)
Tumbleweed, On you lead. Rainshower, On the hour. I’ve got the grey-day roundabout blues, And why should I not pick and choose? The city closes in again you lose. Scattershot me, living askew Raw Power, In a cage, Dead Flower, On the page, I’ve got the woodland misty blues, And why should I not pick…
Onfeedence
onfeedence Money in the meter, Honey in my head Money in the meter, Frozen in my bed Hardly in the moment Hurry, get ahead, but Barely any movement, Somewhere else instead. And oh the restless guests they are not feeling all the best They are rattling empty bottles and complaining of the low Now come…
Room to move
CH: C G Am F (with variations) Standing in a queue People doing what they do Headphones blocking out the sound It’s like there’s no-one else around Outside everything seems fine Pople standing in a line. Paint is fading on the walls Paint is fading and I’m watching while I’m waiting… Holding on to pictures…
spilling over
Up at the dawn with an eye to the breeze Still half asleep with a head full of dreams The cool air is clear here it fills up my lungs The night put behind me left speaking in tongues And life spills from my hands When i try to make demands.. The morning is yawning…
Easy in your own skin?
Are you easy In your own skin? Does it take a lot of work just to feel that you fit in? Should we try this hard to be ourselves When the force distorts our simple loves? I see your gaze now as it turns away, Like you don’t know what you want to say. See…
Falling through cracks
[audio:http://donalkelly.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/fallingThroughCracks.mp3|titles=fallingThroughCracks] V1 He knows knothing about things like this, Drifting along in a twist. Falling behind, failing to find, A place that will give peace of mind He’s just a trier, too honest to boot, What you have you can lose if you hear too much truth. Choosing a road, hatching a plan, Navigate ways,…
