C-90

Dave Egan

C-90 is a collection of songs whose melodies, chord sequences and, in some cases, arrangements, Dave Egan recorded onto cassette tapes, mainly C-90s, back in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s or, to put it another way, Circa - 1990. This was done either by way of bouncing from one cassette recorder to another or, later, using a four track recorder. On reflection, the original lyrics for these songs were no longer particularly relatable to Dave and so he rewrote them to create a juxtaposition of today’s lyrics on Circa '90’s music and a middle aged man’s words superimposed on a young man’s melodies.

  • 12 - My Lowest Tide

    Track 12 from the album C-90 by Dave Egan


    Lyrics:


    My Lowest Tide


    I was standing by the water when I first realised

    That just a step beneath the water and troubles never rise

    I was cold and lonely and I, I cried:

    My lowest tide


    I was standing by the water when I first saw the light

    That death was just below the water where jilted lovers dive

    I was cold and low but I survived

    My lowest tide


    'Cos everybody changes, everybody changes now

    You will too, cos everybody changes now


    I was young and I was green

    You are too but everybody changes now

    You just need to find your feet

    You’ll pull through, ‘cos everybody changes now


    I was cold and low and now I know

    My lowest tide is over now

  • 11 - To Watch and Wonder

    Track 11 from the album C-90 by Dave Egan


    Lyrics:


    To Watch and Wonder


    To watch and wonder is such a weight on my mind and I

    Never realised you could 

    Cry with anger and wield your pain like a knife and I

    Need a little time to be free


    The sacred slaughter of all that’s good in your life is fine

    So long as you can find in your

    Search for water, to tame the fire and to taste the wine

    And find a little time to be free

  • 10 - Someone

    Track 10 from the album C-90 by Dave Egan


    Lyrics:


    Someone


    Somewhere there’s a place I can go, so that everybody knows I am somewhere

    Sometimes I can hide from the me that I don’t need to be even sometimes


    Somedays I am scared I might find that I’m not in your mind even somedays

    Something makes me say what I fear so that everyone can hear me say something


    Forever young, forever hot, forever not, forever pacified

    Forever young, forever hot, forever not, forever pacified


    Someone somewhere’s following me so everyone can see I am someone

    Somehow I have opened the door to live forever more, maybe somehow


    Forever young, forever hot, forever not, forever pacified

    (Forever believe its true)

    Forever young, forever hot, forever not, forever pacified

    (You know we believe it too)

  • 9 - Fire and Steam

    Track 9 from the album C-90 by Dave Egan


    Lyrics:


    Fire and Steam


    She draws me in with siren’s thrall

    She wraps me up to seal my fall


    She knows my longings as she grows my fears

    She feeds on lust washed down with tears


    She casts emotion (she reels me in)

    No competition (fools seldom win)

    Spews ammunition (and so death begins)

    Of rage and deception


    With fire and steam she has brought us to extremes

    She has torn out our hearts. Now we’re worlds apart… we are worlds apart.


    She tracks my footsteps and my every key

    She sits on (watches) every page I see


    She gives me comfort in echoic room

    As she tells her master of his doom


    She leaves me wrestling (she feels me writhe)

    In spun threads of emotion (to its source she climbs)

    With slow evisceration (she bleeds me dry)   

    She bleeds me for her potion


    With fire and steam she has brought us to our knees

    Yet we still feel the need to be hirelings at her feet

  • 8 - Don't

    Track 8 from the album C-90 by Dave Egan


    Lyrics:


    Don't


    Julie needs a friend to help

    But those who can she cannot tell

    Julies home alone

    Suffocating in its love


    Don’t shut me off from you don’t say that you’re not mine

    Don’t cut my heart in two don’t tell me you are fine


    Julie glides on steel

    Just to prove the cold is real

    She skates a frozen Baysville pool

    I pray to god she won’t fall through


    Don’t shut me off from you don’t say that you’re not mine

    Don’t cut my heart in two don’t tell me you are fine


    If you could hear what would I say?

    D’you recall the time we had when stupid games we’d play?

    And could you answer if I prayed?

    Give it up, give it up, give it up, please


    Don’t shut me off from you don’t say that you’re not mine

    Don’t cut my heart in two don’t tell me you are fine

    Don’t shut me off from you don’t say that you’re not mine

    Don’t cut my heart in two don’t tell me you are fine


    You're not fine
