The Narcissist and the Between 04:19
lyrics
buy track
The Narcissist and the Between Vegetarians eating meat I am I am in-between a nomad and a queen And the creatures in the hurricanes Flavours of unsavoury notes I am the one they called the scapegoat I was the anchor in the flood At Martha’s Vineyard Beneath the stars At Martha’s Vineyard Massacres in cars Hierarchy is ego anarchy I am I am, I walk away you see You tried to slaughter me I tried to save creative I educated natives I’m torn in the fold When there’s three I think the resolution The killing spree That I’m user friendly Currently there’s no menopause clause To shake the hand of the wave surfer laws Spotlight shines on foolish stages Cover versions create cages You lost the day you retaliated In Martha’s Vineyard.. blood lies in between (Mortuary car) I want to feel elated I want to repel hatred And lie amongst the waves © Claudine West 2014

Blood (free) 04:06
lyrics
download
Blood There was blood, blood everywhere Down by the heat Rushing floods and fever heads Far away at sea In the minds of higher thinkers You’re becoming me And the moon sauntered Right I reach out too And the roots are haunted And I reach out too Discover unknown presence There lies release With a shock this mantle steadies more The answer spurs release I cried that day and cried again Strength the river creek And I knew this point would come someday But I stared in disbelief And the moon sauntered Right I reach out too The roots are haunted And I reach out too There was love, love everywhere Down underneath Crushing hearts the weavers read Right beside the tree With the storm comes a rainbow I am lost at sea There was blood, blood everywhere I am lost at sea © Claudine West 2014

Exceptional Believers (free) 03:41
lyrics

Exceptional Believers They don their coats and crowns and Marys Exceptional believers Cutting off their throats and tears Fictional deceivers They walk the path of the lost and the lucid Moving to the room I thought my whole life over Then I packed it in a box and sent it underground The call of the churches and the rules I walked further Found better runes There’s no intermittent wrestling with the weavers Webs and death and spurn the divas I reach up with fire in my hand and peace overland Mighty makers of money and spoons Mind alteration, with pennies and looms They wont rule my nation with promise and fools A mind awakened. Open doors and breathe As I approached the crossroads I held the sunshine in my hands and a pocket full of delusions Contained the answers they didn’t want me to know I took my chances with the ghosts © Claudine West 2014

Eye of Horus 04:20
lyrics
buy track
Eye of Horus Mindful in some locked out state Trapped within these walls in a metamorphosis debate These winters waves crash and bury my feet In denial of the suffering of storms at sea Riptide swallows my hunger Polarity takes me under The wind cries hollow where did these feelings go? 8 inside below. I resist the existence of a lifting and rescue I lost sight of the surroundings and broke the curfew When I cracked I turned away, departed into weeks of rage Eye of Horus where did you hide? I wandered through the portal Chinese garden waterfalls. The low sun, fearsome sky Dream in a romance with a tear in my mind. The ladder made of spine rose to the cloud The red sphere floated right before my 3rd eye Rosie gave be laughter, such laugher The laughter in mine. All mine. © Claudine West 2014

aurora borealis Fortune on the road, feather kill You are alone Enlightened souls, weathered sin You aren’t alone aurora borealis sky in the north take me home Moons of Galileo, heretic Holy rolls, advocate Provocation with belief Beautiful underneath aurora borealis sky in the north take me home Runes made of stone, heather thrills overload, lavender On my road, I’m not alone Eastern sky rising aurora borealis sky in the north take me home ©Claudine West 2014

Bear Claw From Winnipeg 05:05
lyrics

Bear Claw from Winnipeg So I had this conversation After many divinations Giraffe taught me hippy laugher Some wise words from hereafter Buzzing in my ears cleared fears that had reared again I overtook this meltdown lane refrain My suicide has long gone now Who... I followed nature’s pasture Looking for angina rapture Banana cake and chocolate chips and ginger beer on an ancient trip That spider that jumped from the trees My bare flesh and a morbid scream Showed me survival while on my knees A message from the powers that be To get on making symphonies Normality freaks me every day Is not me man and I’m going to say Leads me to the path of tombs And rips me from another womb Two types of stoned lead to a junction Pure water cleanses many functions I walked this mountains darkened path Then jumped into another mothers grasp © Claudine West 2014 Alternativeclaudinewestnottinghambanjo

Rhinos 03:46
lyrics
buy track
Rhinos Shine a light upon my mountain But I’m still filling up on dread World hovers on my shoulders The past, the present the future then I’m dead Release, release Rhinos Unreachable devastation The Meditation said To look outside my inner anger See what Buddha said I’m making up preservation I’m talking to the wise The mechanics of coping Are practiced many times When I’m a lone with the demons I set in motion lots of dealing On my darkest days My instruments of adjustment Stop mental state delays © Claudine West 2014

Exit of the Crush 03:24
lyrics
buy track
Exit Of The Crush Not the one I imagined But parallel magnetism Intrigue enters dust Diffused with tender lust The mighty melodrama Ricochets around Gaia Dreams show a changed reality I wake distantly loved An interest in the given A creative faun and fauna I look up to presenting my thrill But hide it not so well The fix is just not fucking medical These words stumble upon doubt I define my answers Kiss away distractions Words fail me soon Attraction takes me home The other souls I’ve ever known Did rectify my souls given purpose, recognition Another muse for my poetry A decree in eloquence These years travel © Claudine West 2014

I Lost The Dark at Dawn (live) 03:53
lyrics
buy track
I Lost The Dark at Dawn (live) Rooms on the road Opportune I am the devil’s own Shallow graves hide many bones Jokers and countrymen The power lines are overheard The frantic noises of words lost Heard as worlds combust Never ending silence I walk on coals of fire These worms that dig up new eras Ferryman pays the price now blind Boot prints melted tarmac Metal twists with rippled pools I lost the dark at dawn The wooden sculpture man makes many plays Oversights and reverse delays A document is stained over time I hold onto the bricks and the pines No chorus as I ride into night No chorus as I ride into night An effort that digs deeper into the light These rooms on the road

Unusual Haunts (live) 04:05
lyrics
buy track
UNUSUAL HAUNTS World, world turn it down on me Misunderstood the mothers blood I’m tired of my usual haunts My navel craves many razor blades Voices suggest things and taunt One eye watching as the other sleeps Heroes wonder why Jesus weeps Summertime in twilight years Twisted metal and changing spheres Sometimes I feel full of grace I’ll run away when I am saved One eye watching as the other sleeps Heroes wonder why Jesus weeps One eye watches as the other sleeps I am not afraid RAIN COMES DOWN; RAIN COMES DOWN I’m sliding sideways, into the face of death I am looking forward, with every little breath A lifetime is behind me and dirt is underneath Will you scatter ashes? Open your eyes and see I can’t see for the trees, you’re overlooking everything I can’t see for the trees, you’re overlooking everything. ©Claudine West 1998/2014

about

I began 2014 with an exceptional journey. As the dark nights dominate my side of the world, so ends this year. I present my new solo album. This record features various instruments, including: bass, mandolin, banjo, guitars, piano, keyboards, tablas, my vocals and purring cats who have sat listening intently and ran away during the recording of it. My album is a document and journey of changing times, through the dark and light. Recovery, investment in to channelling vibrations. I wanted to capture warts, clicks, pops and all recording and performance. A lot of the tracks were one takes of improvisation on my instruments. These Lyrics written during the recording process. The reason behind title ‘The Narcissist and the Inbetween’ can be found in my E-book ‘ Claudsville Blogs and Biog of a Bog Woppit ‘ I took the cover photo while standing in a stormy sea at Rest Bay, Porthcawl, Wales, November 2014. Writing this album exorcised a few more bedded in Demons. Therapy for the lost.

Enjoy - Claudine
