Lo-fi
06:08

I fell to soon.
This dream was of you.
The sky is far to blue to be alive.
And I did not lie,
when I said said that I could fly
Away from this damn life, and you.
But this dream is lo-fi today,
Your scream was lo-fi today.
And I'll hide my excitement that day,
when you find your way.
Oh lets just run away.
The cops(dogs) are on their way.
Oh, it's a mighty fine day to be alive.
You wont have to lie.
Think up an alibi,
before you say goodbye, and move on.
But this dream is lo-fi today,
Your scream is lo-fi today.
And I'll hide my excitement that day,
Your Love is lo-fi today,
This dream was lo-fi today,
And I'll hide my excitement that day,
when you find your way.

Brand New Dress

I was hoping you'd meet me at seven o'clock,
I think we should sit down and talk.
I reserved us your favorite spot at Roselands Cafe.
Above the old 10 pin lanes.
I'm leaving tomorrow and not coming back,
I brought you here to say good bye.
I bought you a coffee, just drink it black.
It's bitter all the same.
And I know it's short notice, my train leaves at dawn.
The only train out of the west.
I was hoping you'd be there to wave goodbye.
Wearing your brand new dress.
I came here to say good bye.
But please my dear friend down you cry.
Write my name on your wall beside your mirror.
And I think you will find I'm always here.
I was hoping you'd meet me at seven o'clock,
I think we should sit down and talk.

Lullaby Machine

Put on the lullaby machine,
and come and sit by the fire with me.
We'll talk about things to come,
and we wont retire until we see the sun.
I think the blue moon was right,
for tomorrow we will be fine.
Lets forget about the past tonight,
and lets listen to a sweet lullaby.
Because it been far too long,
Its been too long since I've heard
That lullaby machine
Lullaby Machine
Wont you sing a song to me.
I think the blue moon was right,
for tomorrow we will be fine.
Lets forget about the past tonight,
and lets listen to a sweet lullaby.
Lets listen to that song once again,
and lets sit here and just pretend.
That this life is all a bad dream,
and this is how it was meant to be.
Because it been far too long,
Its been too long since I've heard
That lullaby machine
Lullaby Machine
Wont you sing a song to me.
Lullaby machine
Lullaby Machine
Wont you sing a song to me.
Lullaby Machine

The wanted ad says, "Dead or alive."
A reward is paid if with him, you arrive.
He's slinging guns, he's a soldier,
He's wanted for the murder of his wife.
If you see this man, don't you talk to him
Just keep on our way passing by.
This man doesn't eat or sleep,
he's living on cold wind, cigarettes and wine.
Cold wind, cigarettes and wine.
Cold wind, cigarettes and wine.
He'll speak to you deceiving words,
Now don't you fail friend, focus on his eyes.
He's an old man, he's a young man,
He's lookin' man, for a means to survive.
They say he's staying down by the tracks,
He's waiting for the next steam-train to arrive.
No, this man doesn't eat or sleep,
he's living on cold wind, cigarettes and wine.
Cold wind, cigarettes and wine.
Cold wind, cigarettes and wine.
Before you go, come over here.
And let me tell you something between you and I.
For this man isn't flesh or blood,
He lives inside the worst of us.
He's that thing that makes you want to die,
He's that thing that makes a good man lie.
Catch him now, catch him if you can,
and we'll be better off, you and I.
Because I don't want to live on a bottle of pills,
For something I've been diagnosed with, clinically.
This man doesn't eat or sleep,
he's living on cold wind, cigarettes and wine.
Cold wind, cigarettes and wine.
Cold wind, cigarettes and wine.
Cold wind, cigarettes and wine.

The Question

Franklyn Currie Abbotsford, British Columbia
"Born and raised where city meets country, Franklyn Currie finds inspiration for his emotive songs in the vast fields of the
Fraser Valley, and the train-tracks and alleys lining the core of his small-town home, Abbotsford, BC. Driven by his passion for writing and making music, Currie’s soft-spoken, “alternative country” style blurs the edge between downhome and downtown..."
