Saw your band on the Tube one night Fell in love so we jumped aboard for the ride Caught you live Read about you in a magazine Bought the album you were part of the scene for a while Til it died We stuck it out for several years Then it felt like you disappeared We can’t forget the joy that we felt You soundtracked our lives don’t you know what you meant You’re still our favourite though you never really made it We’re part of your fanclub Going through a bunch of things today Found a mixtape with two tracks of yours took me back All the way Looked you up, found you’re still around Nostalgia circuit has you touring town to town Checked it out The lights went down and the stage was cleared And all those years just disappeared We’ll never forget the joy that we felt You soundtracked our lives don’t you know what you meant You’re still our favourite though you never really made it We’re part of your fanclub Your star might have faded, you never really made it We’re still part of your fanclub Part of your fanclub

Faded scrapbook turn the page, set about reflecting Dreams may come and dreams may go and time’s forever passing Around the corner something new no certainty of lasting If you lie awake at night and sleep won’t come for wondering It’s not about what you have it’ not about what you’ve lost If you’re living in the past or facing up to the cost If you lie awake at night and sleep won’t come for wondering If you’re frightened of the truth you know you’re not alone The things we do when we are young define the people we become Things done unto leave their mark, damage us and kill the spark If you lie awake at night and sleep won’t come for wondering If you’re frightened of the truth you know you’re not alone Face down and there’s no turning round See the ship that never sailed, see the plane still grounded Put them all back in a box all hopes and dreams unfounded If you lie awake at night and sleep won’t come for wondering If you’re frightened of the truth you know you’re not alone Faded scrapbook, turn the page

Long before the light went out I should’ve seen the darkness come But like the Summer evenings, I didn’t miss you ‘til you’d gone For me it was the first time, guess you’d seen it all before Now I can’t help but be reminded of you As time passes the pain’ll fade, I hope the lessons never will ‘cos it’s the good times I want to last, why can’t I see beyond the past and still If I regret anything at all it’s that my memories are coloured by this Guess that’s my fate and it’s all thanks to you You took my heart when I least expected it It’s true, if you only knew what you’d done to me Every relationship I’ve gone on to have was impacted by what you did Though it’s an age ago and I was naïve I’ll always believe that I was misled For me it was the first time, and then you’d seen it so many times before Now I can’t help but be reminded of you You took my heart when I least expected it It’s true, if you only knew what you’d done to me If you only knew, it’s never me it’s only you If you only knew, never me it’s always you If only that were true

Here it comes again, creeping up on me How did I get here? Another night of fear Here it comes again Here it comes again, it’s dragging me down And how hard I fight, reaching out for the light Here it comes again It’s not as if this is the first time and I know I’ll be down this way again If I could only find a way to reach out Don’t let this be the bitter end Here it comes again, like a tidal wave Stormy days ahead, is it all in my head Here it comes again I’d love to say that I have reached a better place And this is welcomed as a friend If I could only find a way to break out Waiting for it all to end Here it comes again, and there’s nowhere to hide Though my faith is pretend please God make it end Here it comes again I know you could say I embrace this now Sometimes it’s easier to wear the scars Than ignore the way that I feel today Here it comes again, creeping up on me Another night of fear, how did I get here Here it comes again Here it comes again

The sun had burnt me raw But your touch was cool upon my skin The DJ played Hotel California You were dressed in white An angel with a tan, radiant, radiant and devine I asked you if you knew what ‘Tiffany-twisted’ meant Or what ‘colitas’ were, you smiled and said ‘ Who cares? This song is beautiful, kiss me, kiss me make you mine.’ The DJ played Hotel California This song is beautiful, make you mine The sun had burnt me raw but your touch was cool upon my skin It was the night that Elvis died Now you are always on my mind And angel with a tan, radiant and devine And angel with a tan, radiant and devine The DJ played Hotel California

Sitting on a hillside, swallowing my pride I wanted to explain to you You wouldn’t listen to me, you just looked straight through me You didn’t want to know how I felt inside I wrote you a letter, cos I thought it’d make things better But you ignored it anyway So guilty I sit thinking, or with my friends I’m drinking And it’s too late to say I’m sorry now It’s too late, far too late, it’s true I was young though that’s no excuse And you just walked away feeling you’d been used Sitting on a hillside, swallowing my pride Wanting to explain to you You never listen to me, cos you can see straight through me You never want to know how I feel inside It’s true, I was young though that’s no excuse And you just walked away feeling you’d been used

Now Or Never 04:22
Like a moth drawn to a flame, I was tempted to sin You had me dangling on a line, slowly pulling me in I feel the fire burn deep inside, know there’s nowhere I can hide You hold me a close and I know It’s now or never You wouldn’t listen when I tried to tell you, got the impression you don’t want to know Now I’m staring in those eyes, I can’t disguise, I’m trying to let you go I feel the fire burn deep inside, know there’s nowhere I can hide Hold you close and I know It’s now or never I’ve been waiting for oh so long, just biding my time Maybe I was searching for some kind of perfection but now It’s now or never Good God Like a moth drawn to a flame, burning deep within Temptation fuels desire, guilt the fruit of forbidden sin I feel the fire burn deep inside, know there’s nowhere I can hide You hold me a close and I know It’s now or never I feel the fire burn deep inside, know there’s nowhere I can hide You hold me a close and I know It’s now or never I hold you close and I know It’s now or never

Serendipity 03:19
Trapped behind steep emotional walls My conscience calls but no-ones listening I want to close my mind to what it takes Make no more mistakes This time it’s going to be Serendipity, serendipity We were going strong and now something’s going wrong It’s not going to take much longer Don’t know which way this is going to end But listen here my friend End it definitely will There’s a line been drawn And all patience worn So enough’s enough, let common sense prevail Serendipity, serendipity We were going strong and now something’s going wrong It’s not going to take much longer Bitter taste, deceit, disgrace no victory In fractured form, all senses worn In sound, in smell, a living hell To touch, to taste, I see Serendipity, serendipity We were going strong and now something’s going wrong It’s not going to take much longer Far as I can see

I love that coat, the one you wear When you know you’re going somewhere that really matters Like you did tonight I love the way you hold your hands, I love the way you say you understand Though you’re dreams were shattered Like they were tonight I can’t pretend to know what’s going on inside your head It seems from here you keep going round and round Round and round until your world gets turned upside down You don’t care how much it hurts As long as you can show the works In seersucker I see your picture everywhere, you always smile like you don’t care So that’s alright Cos the camera don’t lie And what goes on behind closed doors, that’s not for me that’s only yours And if I have to ask Then you’ll only deny I can’t pretend to know what’s going on inside your head It seems from here you keep going round and round Round and round until your world gets turned upside down You don’t care how much it hurts As long as you can show the works In seersucker

Ouija Doll 04:15
She’s got a little Ouija doll, she takes it out whenever you call One more pin she’s sticking in to stop you And every time she hears your name, she takes it out again and again It’s one more pin, just one more pin might stop, stop, stop you She’s got a little Ouija doll, sees your face and her skin crawls One more pin, just one more pin might stop you She’s got a little Ouija doll, she took a hit, she’s seen it all One more pin, just one more pin, might stop, stop, stop you You thought she was surprised to see you Believed you’d caught her unawares You went I for the kill the prey trapped in the snare You’d think she was surprised to see him You’d think she’d been caught unawares He doesn’t know she’s found a way to keep him out of there She’s got a little Ouija doll

about

West Coast Music Club West Kirby, UK

West Coast Music Club are based on The Wirral, about as far west as you can go in the UK without getting wet. Influenced equally by our proximity to Liverpool and our distance from late 60's California, it is guitar music, in all its forms, that directs the sound of WCMC in pursuit of the perfect song. We hope you enjoy the trip. ... more
