  • Band of Georges: White Light
    White Light by George.
    From Volume VII Side B of the Band of Georges.
    Music and lyrics by G. Davies.
    Composed 7th September 1986, from 04:00ish to 04:55 am.
    Recorded November 1987.
    Mixed November 1987.

    Fun Facts:
    White Light was never performed by any band.
    The key is E minor.
    White Light may be a song about taking LSD.
    It might have been White Lightning.
    It might have been a scary and freaky experience, rather than giggly, colourful or detailed, like previous trips.
    Saying 'no' is perfectly ok.

    Fun Facts:
    This song was written at around 7am on 11th July 1986.
    This was after George had been up all night making Subterraineans music with Dean.
    He then walked home through the city of Exeter as the sun was starting to rise.
    It was a beautiful summer morning in 1986.
    A lot of people seemed to like this song and it was usually played as an encore.
    The key is Cm.
    Jerry’s bassline was perhaps his most melodic of the entire Rough Terrain set.

  • Critical Error: Gypsy
    Gypsy by Critical Error.
    Album: Critical Error.
    GYPSY
    And so they say that you're the wild one
    That you fade like evening light
    And the storm could never hold you
    Only love makes it right
    So you say you'll never stay here
    Like passing time you must move on
    If freedom is the only answer
    Maybe the questions are all wrong
    Gypsies come and go
    Gypsy come gypsy go
    Where she roams nobody knows
    Gypsy come gypsy go
    Where she roams nobody knows
    When the evening light is dying
    Her shadow fades and disappears
    A memory of love and laughter
    Will your waiting turn to fear
    Now the dusty road is empty
    The seasons have turned around
    Only her ghost is left to dance there
    Loneliness is all you found
    Gypsies come and go

  • Critical Error: Walk on Water
    Walk on Water by Critical Error.
    Album: Critical Error.
    WALK ON WATER
    Standing by the river
    At the water's edge
    I saw reflections of the sky
    Inside my head, inside my head
    I saw blood
    I saw fire
    Faces that I miss
    Absent lovers, absent friends
    Dying with a kiss, dying with a kiss
    Walk on water
    Walk on water
    Walk on water, wash away the pain
    Walk on water
    Walk on water
    Walk on water, wash away the pain
    Walking on the water
    Rising to my heart
    Out of reach a flower dies
    Petals fall apart, love falls apart
    In my eyes, in my eyes
    Splinters breaking glass
    Tears join the river
    All things must pass

  • Critical Error: Majestic
    Majestic by Critical Error.
    Album: Critical Error.
    MAJESTIC
    So the seagulls flew away towards the dying sun
    And she felt the rain on her shoulders
    But you know she can't forget
    Ice on fire and burning trees
    And a life alone
    Where does the time go?
    Where does the time go?
    But you know she can't explain
    Every heart beat filled with pain
    And you never know she's gone
    With the rising of the sun
    She's gone now, she's gone
    Broken dreams fall from the sky
    At the glass by her feet
    And the fears they grow every time the rain falls
    But you know she won't forget
    The silver moon and dying stars
    And a life of hate
    Can she stop the changes?
    Can she rearrange it?
    But you know she can't explain
    Every heart beat's filled with pain
    And you never know she's gone
    With the rising of the sun
    She's gone now, she's gone
    A single ship appears on the horizon
    Is it just a dream?
    If it's just a dream it's so majestic, majestic
    It's so majestic
    So majestic
    Rainbow sails that fill the sky with colour
    They're closer now
    No it's not a dream, it's real
    It's so majestic, majestic, so majestic
    Now the ship has reached the shore
    The figurehead alive
    It turns to her and says it's come to take you home
    Cos you're majestic, majestic, you're all majestic
    Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, she waves goodbye

  • Critical Error: The Wilderness
    The Wilderness by Critical Error.
    Album: Critical Error.
    THE WILDERNESS
    We used to be so close
    We had no need to touch each other
    We used to use our eyes and never say a word
    We used to give each other
    Everything that we needed
    We used to use our eyes and never say a word
    Thought love would last forever
    I thought we'd be together
    I never thought I'd have to say
    I'd rather die in the wilderness than to have you back again
    I'd rather die in an empty room than to see your face again
    I used to laugh at your sweet caress now it only brings me pain
    I'd rather die in the wilderness
    I'd rather die in the burning rain, the burning rain
    In the wilderness, the burning rain
    We used to be so strong, we fought the world together
    We stood there side by side against an angry world
    We used to give each other everything that we needed
    We used to use our eyes and never say a word
    Thought love would last forever
    I thought we'd be together
    I never thought I'd have to say
    I'd rather die in the wilderness than to have you back again
    I'd rather die in an empty room than to see your face again
    I used to laugh at your sweet caress now it only brings me pain
    I'd rather die in the wilderness
    I'd rather die in the burning rain, the burning rain
    In the wilderness, the burning rain

  • Critical Error: Sweet Warrior
    Sweet Warrior by Critical Error.
    Album: Critical Error.
    Rosie has a memory of how this song was created. This is what she said.
    "Both me and Steve wrote the melody. I remember him looking at my poem and starting to strum a chord and I sang the first three notes and he got excited about those notes and we sat down and wrote the song.
    Allan came in, put a bass line on it and we were well chuffed.
    Aidan came back from work and we played it to him and he looked deadly serious and said that he hated it. Then confessed that he was joking.
    He then came up with a medieval chord progression that fitted perfectly. It was the quickest song we wrote together! "
    SWEET WARRIOR
    Hello my sweet warrior
    With your bloodshed dreams
    Has the battle torn you at the seams
    And has your fair maiden lost her grace,
    Lost her feelings, lost her place
    Lost her feelings, lost her grace
    And is your dead brother
    In the battle mound
    Has his heart still not been found
    Will his heart never, ever be found
    Sleep now, my brave warrior
    Close your eyes of blue
    Have the strangers broken you in two
    How is your fair maiden
    Does she sleep as your memory she keeps
    Does she weep as your memory keeps
    And is your dead brother
    In the battle mound
    Has his heart still not been found
    Will his heart never, ever be found
    Goodbye my dead warrior
    Now the bitter sword
    Has severed the bloodless silver cord
    So weeps your fair maiden
    The last sight, the pale lily of death
    The lost knight has taken his last breath
    And is your dead brother
    In the battle mound
    Has his heart still not been found
    Will his heart never, ever be found

  • Critical Error: Autumn Glory
    Autumn Glory by Critical Error.
    Album: Critical Error.
    AUTUMN GLORY
    Do you remember when we climbed the mountain
    Followed the river up to it's source
    Climbing higher than we'd ever dared before
    Guided by the river's course
    Looking out over the autumn forest
    Crystal waters falling to the lake
    Looking out on creation
    Thought our hearts would surely break
    I love you, I love you, I love you from that day
    I love you, I love you, more than I can say
    Autumn glory is captured in your autumn eyes
    Autumn glory took me by surprise
    Your glory, your glory, your glory, all your glory
    Your glory, your glory, your glory, all your glory
    We discovered the breath taking beauty
    Of autumn glory under golden skies
    I discovered autumn had a rival
    It was the beauty captured in your eyes
    All the colours of the autumn forest
    Under golden light from above
    Every autumn brings back memories
    Of the day we fell in love
    I love you, I love you, I loved you from that day
    I love you, I love you more than I can say
    Autumn glory is captured in your autumn eyes
    Autumn glory took me by surprise
    Autumn glory, autumn glory, autumn glory
