You know you Always want what you can't afford Use it up And you get bored Used to say There should be a law against You know I Still regret what I pushed aside Still deny That it took pride Now I find I'm the wrong side of the fence Cold black coffee and some ill- judged text Full of shattered hopes and bitter regrets Petty indiscretions I can't quite forget I want to move on I'm just not there yet You know you You still got what you don't deserve Squander love And you feel hurt Gave it up and You've got the nerve to ask You know I I just hate what I can't control Let it go and it Got cold Hate to hear what I Can't be told I guess Cold black coffee and some ill- judged text Full of shattered hopes and bitter regrets Petty indiscretions I can't quite forget I want to move on I'm just not there yet

Workaholic 03:26
I've got a mate Who works for the state Pay isn't great But he cuts the coupons From the magazines What do you know now What do you know? His brother Joe Goes with the flow He's in the know And we're counting on him Anything we need What do you know now What do you know? See Mary-Jane She's playing games No sense of shame But you've got to love it Her sister Jacq Works on her back She can't relax She's a workaholic I've got a hunch You're out to lunch Down in the dumps Like your dreams are children Grown and gone to seed Where do you go now? Where do you go? You ought to know That you're still a rose How do you cope When the days are speeding By your window screen Where do you go now? Where do you go? No changing tack No turning back Cut me some slack I'm a glum romantic His sister Jacq Works on her back She can't relax She's a workaholic

Self-esteem Is a fragile thing And you put a dent In my self-respect With that valentine You returned to mine And wrote don't call again This has to end It's just love, get over it... This shabby song Comes out all wrong And the words I wrote Stick in my throat And I wonder why It is that I Just can't talk to you It's all confused Just love get over it... It could work It all depends 'Cause you're OK But I don't like your friends And I'm a jerk But you're a friend So I don't want To end up here again And so I see You soon got over me Now you're hanging out With your new crowd Must I confess I'm still a mess You took a chunk of me I can't retrieve Just love get over it...

Call Me Up 04:58
Come take me out Around the places Where the ragged people go Come fill my house With jokes and laughter Teach me things I ought to know Way out of reach We touched the heavens Knew the sun and felt the rain We burned like fire A Roman Candle Only molten wax remains Just call me up And heaven help me I will stand out in the rain Just call me up I'll go through it all again Saturday sounds To serenade me I'll let the radio dictate And pound for pound I'm punching over Never quite knew my own weight Way out on First A man cajoles me Where is his hat, there is his home He asked me where Do I belong and I confessed I didn't know Just call me up And heaven help me I will stand out in the rain Just call me up And tell me truly Was it worth all of the pain Just call me up And ask sincerely Could it ever be the same Just call me up I will do it all again

You are my honour system You are my winter sun You are my female intuition You are my aqualung You are completely implicated Committed and engaged Aided and abetted My saving grace I come with limitations I come with nagging doubts I am a no-win situation One you could do without I am completely underrated Mistaken and confused Defiant and elated An attitude You are my polar star My corresponding hemisphere You don't what you are But you light up this time of year You are my honour system You are my winter sun You are my female intuition You are my aqualung You are completely implicated Committed and engaged Aided and abetted My saving grace

The first time I met you I think I just stared at my shoes And uttered something crude Thinking it was cool and funny And by the swimming pool I'd wait to walk you home from school But I was never cool You were always way beyond me It was maybe my bad call To carve our names into a wall We were never there at all Never even nicked you flowers It all came to an end The night you went with my best friend There's nothing to defend I guess I never seized the hour A torn up love song A torn up love song Tear up love songs Is all I do A torn up love song A torn up love song My torn up love song To you Let's not go through it now I don't know why I slept around Perhaps I knew deep down That I could never keep you And should you have the grace To accept the things I cannot change I'd not do that again I never could deceive you I crave the words you send Maybe I just need a friend We both know in the end There was nothing more between us And if you'd gone with me Would you still cry yourself to sleep? Well heaven knows maybe You dare to dream it could have been us A torn up love song A torn up love song Tear up love songs Is all I do A torn up love song A torn up love song Tear up love songs Is all I do A torn up love song A torn up love song My torn up love song To you

If I could make you see How beautiful you are to me But I know I'm not the one You want to hear it from I'd take away your hurt And show you how much more you're worth But what would be the point If it's not me you want What is it with that clown? He stifles you and puts you down I don't care how it appears He's just not worth your tears I'd give you so much love But that doesn't really mean that much If I'll never be the one You break your heart on Take my love, take my desire Burn it on the funeral pyre You have my heart, you already did If even if you don't want it Forget my face, forget my name But please don't throw your love away Take my love, I have no need I know, I know you don't want me If I could make you see How beautiful you are to me But I know I'm not the one You need to hear it from I'd take away your hurt And show you how much more you're worth But there isn't any point If it's not me you want I'd fill you full of love But that doesn't really mean that much If I'll never be the feller You break your heart over Take my love, take my desire Burn it in the funeral pyre You have my heart, you always did Even if you don't want it Forget my face, forget my name But please don't throw your love away Take my love, I have no need I know, I know you don't want me Take my love, I have no need I know, I know you don't want me Take my love, I have no need I know, I know you don't want me

Just wasting time ‘Cause time is mine I feel so wrong The time is gone And time is tight Slipping right by But through your eyes Back up your drives Reserve the worst The rest is cursed Why don’t you waste your time with me We’ll be the best that we can be Avoiding all reality Why don’t you waste your time Just take your time It’ll all be fine We’ll tow the one Leave life behind Get worse and worse Embrace the curse You’re not the first To be the worst It feels rehearsed Keep your lips pursed Why don’t you waste your time with me We’ll be the best that we can Avoiding all reality Why don’t you waste your time

I'm turning up the sound I'm driving out of town Along the viaduct I sit and watch the trucks Oh oh, the life of me I'm drifting out of tune I'm howling at the moon I hear the ocean's roar I'm knocking down your door Oh oh the life of me I've seen it turn to dust I've watched the engines rust I breached the firewall I will destroy it all Oh, oh the life of me I'm drifting out of tune I'm running out of room I plucked the hyacinth I drowned it in the sink Oh, oh the life of me

about

A tonal journey from Revolver to the Raconteurs. Self deprecating, bittersweet love-songs-in-reverse set to thundering drums, biting guitar hooks and the ghost of John Entwistle, hovering over the bass frets, all laying the groundwork for Darryl Todd’s warm, emotion-drenched vocal melodies.

Exuberant, cathartic, vibrant and soulful, MMO grab your ears and go for your heart.... and Emily loves them.

about

Mechanical Mouse Organ Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK

Mechanical Mouse Organ's lineage stretches back to 90's indie hopefuls, Hug, whose brief career won them plaudits from the NME and Mark Radcliffe. A reunion in 2011 paved the way for a new band, featuring Darryl Todd on vocals, and a harder edged direction mixing alt and classic rock sounds, pushed through the tonal blender with a large dose of melody and a healthy injection of raw power. ... more
