Diggy-Kat: vocals,keyboards,guitar,programming
INFO: i was online one night having an awesome time with my "sister",Niggsy,and after hours of fun and good times we both decided we needed to get to bed. after i shut down the computer i walked into the kitchen and the sun was already coming up and i said aloud to myself "sunlight already?!?". when i got up the next,shall i say afternoon? i wrote and recorded this song,whole process took about 2 hours.
LYRICS: it was late,much later than i thought it was/i looked around and the clock was covered it dust/to my amazement i had been awake since the day before/never knowing i was asleep all along/the sunlight peeks through the curtains/i see its glow,already brighter than before/i close the curtains/i close the door/i watch the dust collect more and more,more and more
17."OUR GARDEN" lyrics and music by Diggy-Kat written 1 January 2003
Diggy-Kat: vocals,guitar
INFO: this was written for Sita.
LYRICS: our garden shines,look at it in shaded sunlight as the day begins/all these trees for you and me/you're all i need to keep me company/we lay around in the flowers/our love spreads more every hour/this pon reflects you and me/take a deep look then drift out to see/just you and i in our own little land/i walk beside you while holding your hand/i gaze deeply into your eyes/forever with you till the end of time/our garden shines,look at it in bright moonlight as the night begins/we get ready to go t sleep/rest,then wait for dawn to creep
18."BUTTERFLIES AND RAINBOW DROPS" lyrics and music by Diggy-Kat written 21 February 2003
Diggy-Kat: vocals,guitar,keyboards
INFO: the last part of the song i had wrote a while back,but i never got round to finishing it,so i took,what was supposed to be the beginning of a song and added it as the end of Butterflies And Rainbow Drops. the keyboard was added on as a last minute improvement.
LYRICS: cotton rows of angels flow,gently down flourescent streams/whispering barcades of maids,endless hours that we seam/casting shadows into the days,a circle lost unto its haze/garden groves,a new found joy/a summer lost,spent to toy/in an attic where no one cares,i cast reflections that just stare/they wait for the sun to set and then that's when they get a box of gold from under the bed/through the moonlight they fled like stars that shoot a sprinkled love/they climb quickly above/ode to joy,they cast a stone/made of glass and tin,it shone/they played the games that children lead when in times should be in bed/butterflies and rainbow drops/dancing madly before they stop/there was a sound of an orange promenade/they laughed in circles as they played/cotton rows of angels flow,gently down flourescent streams/there was a sound of an orange promenade/they laughed in circles as they played/seasons of sunshine/make bright my day/it turns the weather bright blue from gray

20."DOOM MACHINE" lyrics and music by Diggy-Kat written 21 March 2003
Diggy-Kat: vocals,guitar,bass,drums,keyboards
INFO: the title orginally came from a line in some cheesy film and it inspired me to write a this song that same night. song was written within 40-ish minutes. recorded the next day. there are so many messages and memories and conversations and thoughts entwined in this song it's nearly impossible for me to section them all off to write about seperately.
LYRICS: verse: and so it's came down to this,a lonely long road ahead/and all the things i have missed,i have now made this bed/ pre-chorus: took it on my own/took it all alone/in this hand of mine/i put to the side/walking up the stairs/looking at the door/burdened with my cares/deep inside my core/ chorus: next to the doom machine in me/i'm walking on my own,preparing for a home/with my doom machine in me/i'm planning out my eyes/i'm twisting all inside/doom machine,doom machine/ verse: and all these feelings i have/can i please share them with you/i know that you care and you know i care for you too/ pre-chorus: imagining the plot/shapeshifting in the knot/deforming my spine/expanding my mind/all of this as one/combining all undone/wheni start to grin/it slips into my skin/ chorus:/ verse: and all these games that we played/are memories ready to fade/the dust collects more and more/time to unlock this door/ pre-chorus: i grab for the key/i place it in the lock/i turn and hear the click/the door is now unlocked/the windows still taped shut/the cobwebs and dust/i look into this room/surrounded by the gloom/i sit on a chair/i feel my heart tear/i see the broken frame/this picture still remains/the bedsheets a mess/it makes the room confess/of deeds long since done/back when i was young/too young to realize/what i saw through my eyes/now i know why i'm this way/twelve years ago today/twelve years ago today

Archy Kurt-Davis: vocals,bass
INFO: this was actually a recorded jam session between Archy and I,after we were done we decided to write lyrics and record the vocals,altogether taking about an hour,start to finish. the drums were added months later
LYRICS: i see you standing with your head up high/good intentions rotting in the sky/you make me judge what i cannot see/with you faith,i don't agree/you come walking like you own the stars/i see you there pass all the cars/bible in one hand,gun close by/call me a sinner man,i don't mind/strike me,i don't really care/hate me,i see your stare/try me,but i'm not there/judge me,in your nightmares/ do you ever wonder where i am/do you envy what you don't understand/do you lie to promote your truth/i believe in God,i don't believe in you/man is a mystery,truth is not relative/life is a throw rug people trample on/emotions are feelings that make no sense/philosophy's an ocean that drowns ancient myths/all this time just drifts away/i feel fine when i drift away
22."STILL AMAZED" lyrics and music by Diggy-Kat written 1 February 2003
Diggy-Kat: vocals,guitar
INFO: another song i wrote about Sita although she always denies it is about her. i was talking to a musician friend months later and he was saying how he had poured out his heart and soul into songs about his girlfriend (at the time) and her reply was always "oh,that was nice" and he told me "i think we write very good love songs but the people we write them about just don't appreciate them....but at least we got a good song out of it."
LYRICS: still amazed at how she sings/still amazed when she breathes/still amazed at all these things she can do/there is nothing she can't do/to make her dreams come true/she is one of the few that has wings/look at her sitting there/sunlight reflects from her hair and i don't have a care when i'm with you/her words they float like silver strings and like bells they sure ring/they chime deeply and sing inside my soul/she may be young but she is wise/her wisdom seems to always shine/time after time when i'm with her/hear her laughing there/like she is so near and i don't have a care when i'm with her
