Name: Makeup (I Swear)
Duration: P00H03M20S
Description: FAWM does things called "skirmishes" where somebody puts up a title and everybody scrambles to write a song with that title in an hour. I took an hour and fifteen minutes from that title to this demo - a little cheat, but not bad for my first under-pressure effort.

FAWM does things called "skirmishes" where somebody puts up a title and everybody scrambles to write a song with that title in an hour. I took an hour and fifteen minutes from that title to this demo - a little cheat, but not bad for my first under-pressure effort.

lyrics

we trade our nine-to-five
for going ninety-five
down 95,
we don't give a damn

they said to read the signs
and we saw dollar signs
in both our eyes,
now we're on the lam

i saw those bright lights,
pulling me over
you said 'drive faster,
you're our getaway chauffeur'

take time, and put on your makeup
this time, we're gonna shake it up
i swear

consider all our wishes:
to bathe in our new riches
understand,
we make quite a team

we'll turn our life of crime
into leisure time
on private islands,
we can live the dream

we've got a trunk packed full of
hundred dollar bills
how's that for relevant
job skills?

do what you love, and the money will follow
no, take what you want, cos that money is hollow
if diamonds are a girl's best friend
aren't we all jewel thieves in the end?

The Odds Are Never In Our Favor

My friends from Hawthorn and Holly released this genre-spanning Hunger Games album, and even let me contribute backing vocals to a few tracks! It really rocks out hard. Grace Kendall

The Time-Turner EP
by The Mudbloods

supported by 4 fans who also own “Makeup (I Swear)”

This is a gorgeously mature EP that pulls at the heartstrings in a way I didn't expect from wrock about Cursed Child. In it, you'll find two tender ballads from fathers to sons, a catchy celebration of a world gone wrong, an upbeat jam about teenage love and two touching love songs from husband to wife. Every single song is deftly crafted and has the exquisite lyrics from the Mudbloods that I just love. yourwizardrockresource

With You, Whatever Happens
by Lauren Fairweather

supported by 4 fans who also own “Makeup (I Swear)”

A long-awaited wizard rock album from a pioneer of the wrock community. Mostly wrock, but there are some other nerdy songs thrown in, though they don't disrupt the cohesion. Lauren is always awesome, and if you liked her previous music, you will enjoy this fuller sound even more. yourwizardrockresource
