lyrics

When I was a boy

"When I was a boy , I fell into a jar of marmalade, my soul got so sensitive I couldn't even breathe and my nose went on bleeding and bleeding. Sometimes, I looked up to stop my bleeding nose - oh, so sensitive! The blood was coming back into my throat, so I learned to love my blood's taste. Today, I feel like a cannibal, I feel like a total vampire, I feel like drinking some of my blood, I feel like eating some of my flesh. I am almost sure I will enjoy my meal ..more than ever". 

Butterflies in my mouth are calling me to shout.  I won't shout again. I won't shout my needs. I won't shout my wills. I won't yell. I won't scream for my needs. I'll only whisper.
That's what we do. We, people. The human kind.
I won't shout. Oh, yes, I Will shout. I'll fight for my needs. I'll fight for me. I will fight for freedom.
I want to eat my flesh!
I want to eat me!
I'm eating me!
I am throwing up my self. Broouaagh.
I want my flesh back.  I throw up myself. Broouaagh.

Thank you.
Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Thank you very much. Thank you for everything.
Thank you.
I'm big.
Thank you very much.
I'm the best.
Thank you.
Thank you for everything..-

Nightmare Forever

Innovative and truely progressive music without being too "complicated". Reminds me a bit of the best works of Todd Rundgren. Which is not bad. John Woodward

Handful of Stars

supported by 4 fans who also own “When I was a boy”

Another really good album from Witchwood. I really like their classic rock leanings. The two cover songs are done very well and are originally both from bands I’ve listened to since my teenage years. I’m eagerly awaiting the next album: there’s just not enough bands out there creating this type of rock anymore. More, more, more... Alrihkh

London Song

BBT are standard bearers for modern prog, with a sound that evokes the spirit of those legendary 70s bands whilst managing to also be thoroughly contemporary. It's astonishing that over 30 minutes of music of this quality, with such high production values, is being made available for free - and their full albums are also very reasonably priced...
