BALCONYTV - Over 10 million videos viewed - London

On Today's show the LCD played a tune inspired by the Balcony, BalconyTV London to be precise. He is a wordsmith - he has a way with words that makes it all look so easy, so smooth. I adore his work and have included the full lyrics to his song below, so they can be fully appreciated.

 There is something quite romantic in there, I wonder if he writes poems?

 The Balcony

VERSE ONE:

We played spin the bottle,
No conversation full throttle,
Didn't have the patience so wobbled the table to land onto me,
Luckily, the fifth time running,
The speed of my strumming,
Is how quick i fell into something so deep, i could sleep for an hour or two,
Wake up and see that I'm down with you...
And i weren't running...

Finally... Someone in my life who's inspiring me,
To be the man I've always tried to be,
My mates saying stay away,
But they're jealous,
Thats just fellas on the lairy ales,
Was a fairy tale and this book was my lover,
Shit was, i just read the cover.
When i looked inside, i got took for a ride.

CHORUS:

Cos' girl... With legs like bushfire, yeah they spread so quick.
Hungry for love but you fed me tricks.
Yeah you weren't no juiet, No...
With no happy ever after,
And with a cut this deep, I'm gonna have to get plastered.

So Romeo, Romeo,
Where for art thou fans?
I'm just another musician finding it hard to understand.
Romeo, Romeo,
No that was never me,
I'm just one of many broken hearts up on a balcony.

VERSE TWO:

Its a regular thing.
A relationship goes astray,
I say, its the hardest ship to sail,
I'm a man overboard eaten up by a whale.
In my office, feeling microscopic,
When i should be watched, by people into topics.
But all i can write about,
Is how I'm living life without my soulmate.

Cos' she knows, he knows, she knows he's an ego...tistical maniac.
Half his hearts unavailable,
Gets used with his brain for the fame he lacks,
To write more songs,
Make more money, try and right your wrongs,
And find a love that lasts,
But you can cos' you're in too deep,
And you wish you could live your past.

CHORUS X2

 

See his clip again here.

For love girls will do anything.

This girl moved from the colourful, indulgent civilization of London to a forgotten village in the middle of nowhere making her commute to work two and a half hours longer and often smelling of farm yard creatures. 

For love she bought a crumbling cottage in the country instead of a luxury apartment in the centre of the big smoke.

(please note that this crumbling 200 year old cottage is so old that my boyfriend, dog and I in fact live in a caravan in the garden)

For love I did all of this - then spent last week moaning.

I moaned because I missed the theater. 

I missed posh restaurants, the fact that I could chose on a whim any meal from all over the world (there is only one restaurant near me and by near I mean a thirty minute drive away - no they won't deliver).

I missed a hot bath (no bath in caravan). 

I missed overtly sexy pretentious bars. 

I even missed walking to the corner shop in high heels (no corner shop currently exists - I now own wellies), and I made my yearnings very clear.    

I moaned all week, typical girl acting spoilt and generally fed up. I really moaned tremendously well, I stamped my feet plodded about procrastinating and generally being difficult, I compared everything to London and just wanted a little bit of luxury.

Well it seems the boyfriend heard - or rather listened. As whilst working hard on renovating the cottage and whilst I was away, tucked behind the caravan out of the way of prying eyes he made me a surprise. A special luxurious surprise designed to make me happy again.

My boyfriend MADE me a bubbling steaming sensational hot tub.

It's the funniest thing I have ever seen - hand made and works a treat, we bathed under the stars in our glowing tub and had the most marvelous night.

For love boys will do anything.
