Hi,
Here's the third tune I've written to Tom's lyrics. I wrote both this and Mr Marratty whilst on summer holiday in Corfu. The iPhone demo's have Cicada's all over them..
I like the energy of the end product and hope I've done his imagery and wordplay justice.
Look foward to your thoughts and thanks in anticipation.

I've got a head, and it's full of bees
And my legs they're made, they're made out of trees
My arms are wings made of many things
And my soul, baby, it's as black as coal
I've got a face and it ain’t got a frown
How can you laugh when you're killing the clown?
My feet are size nine and yes I opine
I’ve got a gasoline heart so set me alight
Gasoline, pour me a drink
I’ve been on the precipice I’ve been on the brink
Nearly went and threw myself into the void
If you've never had nothing then nothing's destroyed
Gasoline, pour me a drink
I’ve been on the precipice I’ve been on the blink
Nearly went and threw myself into the void
But I would have made my maker very annoyed
And my back Jack, runs down to my crease
Johnny's got a gun it's on quick release
Watch out Copper cos he's breaking the law
My frownless face, it ain’t got a flaw
I’ve got a head, and it's full of bees
And my legs they're made they're made out of trees
Seventeen sisters bring on the night
I’ve got a gasoline heart so set me alight
Gasoline, pour me a drink
I’ve been on the precipice I’ve been on the brink
Nearly went and threw myself into the void
If you've never had nothing then nothing's destroyed
Gasoline, pour me a drink
I’ve been on the precipice I’ve been on the blink
Nearly went and threw myself into the void
but I would have made my maker very annoyed
bees, trees, wings and things
too many dogs wearing diamond rings
bees, trees, wings and things
too many sticks and stones and too many slings
Gasoline, pour me a drink
I’ve been on the precipice I’ve been on the brink
Nearly went and threw myself into the void
If you've never had nothing then nothing's destroyed
Gasoline, pour me a drink
I’ve been on the precipice I’ve been on the blink
Nearly went and threw myself into the void
but I would have made my maker very annoyed
