I'm upping the workload/now we're cooking; cooking with gas Cloth ears, he said, listen here/make yourself useful for once in your insignificant life I keep dreaming that my goose is cooked/no wonder I'm waking up hungry I said "not if I see you first"/but I know that my maker's gonna find me

Dear Tom 02:29
Dear Tom, I saw you at the gig last night/how's the band going cause I heard it's alright?/I heard you got a deal, I heard you just might make the grade Dear Tom, well thank you for coming down/'cause I realise this isn't quite your part of town/and we're not exactly close so I appreciate the sentiment Dear Tom, saw your girlfriend at the gig last night/how'd ya get to know her, do you hold her tight?/I've seen her working at the college shop day and night to fund her studies Dear Tom, well I don't really know you well, at all/the crossing of our paths is small/but I think you're alright, for what it's worth/my opinion isn't currency, no I treat it like dirt... mucky dirt Dear Tom, well I didn't mean to pry/I'm just making observations I'm an upstanding guy/oh so please tell me if I'm out of line/tell me and I’ll get straight back in line... love to be in line, so I'll get back in line Dear Tom, I saw you at the gig last night, how’s the band going is it going all right? I heard you got a deal, I heard you just might, I heard you just might, I heard you just might...

Bragger 03:28
Well it feels like I'm boasting when you're not having fun/oh baby I'm a bragger and I'm doing you wrong It's no secret I can hide when I'm having a good one/and that's no laugh for you I don't respond when I don't have an answer/don't question you when I don't understand you But I'll always be your friend and I will always pander/I'll always have a shoulder for you/my shoulder's not a cold one for you Well there's a brick in my head and it's right in the way/of the part of my brain that tells me what I should say I tried to go to the doctor's but I forgot the way/I guess the brick is here to stay Well you've thrown down your hand; put your cards on the table/I can't keep up with those you know I'm simply not able But I've got two of a kind and you're always on my mind/you are always on my mind Well it feels like I'm boasting when you're not having fun/oh baby I'm a bragger and I'm doing you wrong It's no secret I can hide when I'm having a good one/and that's no laugh for you I don't respond when I don't have an answer/don't question you when I don't understand you But I'll always be your friend and I will always pander/ I'll always have a shoulder for you/ My shoulder's not a cold one for you/ I'll always have a shoulder or two/ I'll always have a shoulder for you

Don't be nervous, don't be shy They all like you; like you like I do Yeah they like you like I do Like you like I do Yeah they like you like I do, like I do Don't be jealous, like I've been Jealousy's ugly, and it makes people mean Thou shalt not covet - is that what somebody said? But it's slightly more annoying when everyone around you/ Got to where they did with ease - no they didn't work hard It was a gift, or so it seems So we played poker with matches for chips And I watched my money dwindle, oh I watched my money dwindle; All of two pounds, oh I could've spent that On two things from Poundland, from Poundland Don't forget me, I know that you can Don't throw darts at my effigy; remember I'm your man And I'll do anything you want Just ask me a few times, or write it in a large font, in a large font

Molehill Mountain is hard to climb, but once you’ve done it you’ll feel sublime/ I saw the majesty, I saw the grandeur; the panorama from the café at the summit! Molehill Mountain, it's tough to beat, but once you've done it you'll feel complete/ I saw the majesty, I saw the grandeur; the panorama on the postcard I wrote you All fine with me hope all is fine with you, swam in the lake, and in the river too/ Some of the fish I saw could have eaten you I’m doing my very best to deal with the small, things that got in the way of progress and oh!/ Turns out the mountain was a molehill after all Climb Molehill Mountain, up the pathway of success, navigate the precipice of happiness/ You’ll see the majesty, you’ll see the grandeur Molehill Mountain: it's a holiday resort; the resting place for your obstructive thoughts/ Fare them well, wave them on their way (Enjoy your stay) Molehill Mountain is hard to climb, but once you’ve done it you’ll feel sublime/ I saw the majesty, I saw the grandeur, the panorama

The winter sun is trying hard to be my friend - be my friend In memory, some months ago, the sun would shine and I would glow It's different, today I feel my temperament melt into golden syrup The weather's fine, the day is young; so am I, but not for long

about

Benji Tranter London, UK

I released my debut album Songs to Make You Happy in January 2023. With a lo-fi, DIY ethos, unembellished guitars and vocals deliver a charming, sometimes chaotic, collection of vignettes; diary entries, polaroid snapshots, throwaway poems and short stories.

I am writing an album/EP-in-a-day, every month throughout 2024. Just for fun, and to keep my writing up to scratch! Xxx
