The Only Way Out by The Serviettes As polar opposites Shouldn't we be repelling each other? Two terrified hypocrites Just cowering under the covers We'd build an empire just to watch it fall What can I do When the only way out is you And now we've finally lost The wheels from this cursed chariot If ...

I believe the judges will be requiring us to build a Neolithic circular enclosure for this round. I have already begun work on mine - the distinctive ambience it creates should propel me to an easy victory. Wait, so we're not writing songs about a circular piece of steel, as part of an armour harne...

Cue the sound of everyone googling the word "rondel."

I didn't get my shadow finished on time, so I'll try writing some reviews to erase the shame of my failure.

The Serviettes - I'm sorry to say, this is one of those situations where something is grating on me, but I have a hard time articulating why. In this case, it's the lead vocal. You're not off-key, at least not conspicuously so. You're not phoning it in - I can hear that you're really getting into i...

Mine's in and hopefully better than my poor showing in the last round!

Pareidolia by The Serviettes We're just ghosts that don't know it yet Wrap up your hopes Extract your dreams Replace them with regrets Up in the sky above us The clouds they coalesce Into a vision of the daughter that you never had Licked my wounds so many times before I can't taste Can't taste the ...

What is this bum thing of which you speak?

I'm in. I tried to use repetition in the concept of my story. Not sure how successful I've been with that though.

Semiprecious by The Serviettes Tried to talk to you last night Do this properly, do this right But I'm a coward, so I wrote you this letter To explain why I believe that I can do better Wait That's too harsh I'll tear up what I've got and go back to the start I don't want to hurt you And I don't wan...

Pistols at Dawn by The Serviettes This rudderless boat has finally hit land Salt on our lips The waves cascade upon the sand The sun in the sky obscured by rain clouds up above It's an omen For our love Now rations ran dry several weeks ago Mutiny revealed itself simmering below The facade of our no...

Some liner notes for my shadow: I wanted to write about the world entering the homestretch before its destruction and thought it would be cool to try to cram the whole of human history into a three minute song. Unfortunately, a) I've been really busy with work this week, so didnt have much time and ...

Homestretch by The Serviettes So long ago before we evolved We built fires to ward off the cold Some of us were stronger So they attacked Those who were weaker And took what they had Now we're so advanced But leopards don't change their spots Cos those that have Still crush the have nots We're on th...

North Beach Vampires by The Serviettes (shadow) It used to be the news told you what had happened And you would decide what you thought about it Now it only tells you how to think You've got to decide if it happened or not Think how far the human race has come Let's not go back to square one Instead...

Some liner notes for my shadow: It took me a few attempts before I landed on what I was gonna do for this challenge. I started off going for a surf tune, which was awful. Then I moved on to indie rock, which was just a bit dull. I eventually settled on doing the whole thing a cappella (I'm sure some...

Haha, thought I'd check before I plodded off on some nonsensical tangent!

Some Nonsensical Tangent is next week’s title.

I'm in.

Title: Some Nonsensical Tangent
Challenge: Use no chords. Or melodies. Or instruments. Or vocals.

Haha, thought I'd check before I plodded off on some nonsensical tangent!

Can I just check, is this title some kind of cultural reference not immediately obvious to non-Americans or is it just a random collection of words? I've had a look on the interwebs but can't see anything.

He's the man of many faces Yet somehow he remains the same You'll find no solace in his kiss Just the remnants of poison on his lips Carte blanche His licence to kill affords him carte blanche Carte blanche His licence to kill affords him carte blanche His love hits you just Like an avalanche Beware...

Some notes for my shadow: I absolutely loved this challenge, as I'm a sucker for some Bond music(especially the John Barry era). Most of the themes have nothing to do with the film they're from, other than shoehorning the title in, so no plot from me for an imaginary one. I've tried to use vst brass...
