Welcome to my Mind Tumblr.
I like stuff like art and television and indie pop and the Pacific Northwest area. I also quite like BBC's Sherlock, most specifically Lestrade.

Taste

Um this is really weird. I haven’t written a song in ages and finally I do and it’s cakecroft?? 
Some bizarrely sad cakecroft??

I have no idea. Here are the lyrics:

If it was just a little taste, it wouldn’t be that bad 
But he ate the whole damn cake, and now he’s sad 
Cause the frosting on his face is evidence enough 
Without the added weight that’s bound to come up…later 
And the guilt that always comes with this behavior 
Is outweighed by the need to stop and savor 
Cause nothing’s worse than good desserts in waste 
And it won’t be all that bad, it’s just a taste…

Cause loving people is so dangerous 
And it doesn’t seem so hard until the loss 
And no matter just how far you are removed 
If you care about them then you’ll always lose 
So he looks at something delicate and sweet 
That you’re meant to love and hold and lose and eat 
It’s a tragedy so easily contained 
And he’s only left with sugar lips and shame 
And a secret that only he will know 
Cause there’s no one left to tell him he has grown.

Something wrong

“Something Wrong” A song about the Holmes Brothers. 

I messed up the most important line at the end. Mind the written lyrics, not what my dumb mouth says XD 

When you came they weren’t sure what to do
You were born too soon, born blue
In your eyes they thought they saw something new
They were surprised by you

Cause I kept it to myself
The depth of the strangeness that I felt
When I was handed someone else
Did I sculpt you in my image to help

CHROUS
Is there something wrong with us? No…
There’s something wrong with me, though.

I promise you you’ll never have to make
Your own conclusions, your own mistakes
It’s my burden, it’s my place
To forge a path of failure to keep you safe

We filled your head with figures and facts
A child, a genius, you grew too fast
And soon the world was too easily grasped
I watched you stumble one step forward, two steps back

Chorus

And I didn’t know what to do
I found you one morning, found you blue
I’ve been a teacher and a brother and so many things to you
But if what you need is a villain, I’ll be that too

Chorus

Ode to Molly Hooper

Ode to Molly Hooper - shitty recording on my iPhone!

Also sorry for rhyming Hooper with Trooper, WOW

Every morning wake up so upbeat
I while away the hours with forensic autopsy
But every afternoon a new defeat
I sleep it off again like every day is on repeat

Cause everyone down here needs someone strong
No one needs to see me unless something has gone wrong
I am just a shoulder to cry on
I am not a hero I can’t save them when they’re gone

Molly Hooper, what a trooper
Don’t let it get you down
Don’t let it make you sad
Molly Hooper you’re worth more than that

It’s really not as bad as you might think
In the basement of a hospital with corpses for company
I treasure every smile, every wink
He’s in and out like lightning leaving me to my daydreams

Molly Hooper, such a trooper
Don’t let him get you down
Don’t let him see you sad
It’s really not that bad
Molly Hooper you’re worth more than that

Everything he’s ever said to me
Is a variation on a rather disrespectful theme
But maybe I am braver than he sees
Maybe after all I’m just exactly what he needs

Molly Hooper, such a trooper
Don’t you let him down
Don’t let them figure out
It’s all up to you now
Molly Hooper you will always count
Molly Hooper it’s all up to you now

Something like love

I jumped the gun and tried the blues without consulting my handbook. Whoops sorry. Can’t quite hit that low note either #notmeantforblues

ALSO PLEASE DISREGARD THE LAST TWO SECONDS OR WHATEVER IT’S A GLITCH WITH SOUNDCLOUD THAT I CAN’T FIX RAWR

“Something like a lovesong” (Moriarty to Sherlock) 

When I was child momma told me
Boy someday you’re gonna meet someone
They’re gonna make you feel something special
And they’ll leave you in pieces when they’re done
She said I’ll feel more alive when I’m with them
And I’ll follow them till I die
But would you call this a love song
Would you call it love, oh my

I think that your heart beats faster
And I know that my own feels free
When we meet it’s a gorgeous disaster
Just like momma said it would be
Cause you’ve got the face of an angel
And I want you for my very own
But would call this a love song,
Would you call it love, oh no

Oh my stomach it a-flutters when I see you
And you smile when you hear my name
I’d give all that I have just to watch you dance
Just to keep playing our little game
I cut loose all those people, all those problems
Even 30 million quid just for you
But would you call this a love song
Would you call it love, me too

So do you think you could call this a love song
Well it don’t really matter, see  
Cause one way or another -
You’re gonna fall for me.

Very, very lucky

I was going to rerecord this and fix the mistakes but I don’t have the technology right now so sorry. 

A Sherstrade song this time! 

I don’t want to see you like this 
Like you might wish for it all to end 
If there’s something wrong I’ll right it 
Through long nights and into day again

Through the haze of these ampheti- 
mines you’re met with dreams that you can’t stand 
I have held you closer than you knew, 
Til you were through, I held your hand

For a good man 
For a good man

Everything is cold about you 
Old and so new, I can’t puzzle out 
Then the thaw and I can see who 
You will be. It’s beautiful and now

A good man 
A good man

I’m not gonna bust you, Sunshine 
Must you run I’m much too old for this 
I’ve got just one thing on my mind 
Would a crime bring you back for a kiss

From a good man 
From a good man

I’m not gonna tempt disaster 
I won’t let on what I’m after 
Is it worth the cost to have you 
Is a good man lost now one’s new

I have left you so unfinished 
How I wished to keep you sound and safe 
But your brilliance, undiminished 
Like a beacon still it radiates

I would have you selfishly but 
He will be the one to make you whole 
I can only ask that you look back at me 
When you turn to go.

With a good man 
As a good man 
He’s a good man

OMG YOU GUYS I WROTE A MYSTRADE SONG WHAT

Sorry for the overall lack of quality but I never claimed to be a rock star. 

Lyrics:

I could start a riot in the street
And they’d be singing your name.
But you’d be wondering who would have to clean
When they all go away. 

I could make your favorite football team
Win in every league
But you would tell me winning’s not as sweet
If it’s done dishonestly.

(CHORUS)
And all the things that I could do
And all the things that I would do
But I don’t think that you’d approve
Of all the things I’d do

I could end taxation on all
Law-enforcing women and men
But maybe you’d be cross with me
When we’re in a recession again

(Chorus)

I could start a war with France
But that won’t get me in your pants
Cause your idea of romance
Does not include…

(Chorus)
