#lister bird solo album

[the-incident-on-show-day]

hey remember the lister bird solo album??? because i sure didn’t. anyways i found some of the old lyrics and finished a song!!

“louisE”

they said she had a baby and then skipped town but sometimes i see her wandering around wears a fur coat and slippers from saks carries her sadness like a gift bag

oh i swear i saw her spinning in a crystal ball says in the future her son never calls

i swear i saw her standing in a snow globe hands on the glass it cracks like a phone

oh

you loved her once and you love her still but you never knew her, you never will you loved her once and you love her still but you never knew her, you never will

you call her a fighter, call her a lover call her a mum but never your mother

they said she stays busy to mask the pain they say she drinks whiskey to numb the ache the pomegranate doesn’t fall far from the tree eve sucked it dry then spit out the seeds

oh, eve in the garden, longing for love shatters her rib then mends his back up

eve is a starlet, she has moved on she lusts for things that no child should want

oh

you loved her once and you love her still but you never knew her, you never will what will you leave her, writing your will a check and a promise you’ll never fulfill

they call her bereaved, they call her bereft she once had a son, she has nothing left

they said what they said what they said what they said

i swear that it’s true or it’s all in my head

I HAVE MORE THOUGHTS ON LISTER BIRD SOLO ALBUM !!!!!

i rrckon he should go full electra heart for it. i want it him to write a concept album based on this satrical character thats based on all the wrong ways he was perceived by parasocial fans and b-list celebraties who use him for bragging rights just because they met him once so obviously they know everything about him now. and its camp as fuck and a little bit theatrical. it would probably get misinterpreted to hell but hes really happy with it and everyone wants more. then what does he do? never releases anything again. he says fuck you hoes for making me a sex symbol at 16, im out. and then lives a really nice life with his newly developed frontal lobe since it took a bit longer to process than most people since hes like. a bit insane innit.

End game

Like all Ed features, End Game is Haylor. (Ed, the O.G. Haylor MVP) it was written a few weeks after HS1 was released. Unlike other Rep songs that were revisited and have Joe references, even when they started before they met. In fact the film clip is overtly Haylor. (below) in the BTS (at 1:55) Taylor’s gets text with a scrabble move, she considers, says it is a 'tight game' and decides to leave the other player suspended. Ed blushes.

When OOTW was released Harry’s IG went B&W for 2 years until he started solo promo, apart from a few scrabble boards (in screaming colour) I have a theory he & Taylor played remotely which is why they are colour and she included this.

Here’s some footage of Joe playing scrabble. ….oh sorry, wait, that’s Harry Styles: fan of Scrabble and texting T Swift. Look at her here in the reputation book with the players names covered.. I wonder why lol

Timeline

Ed Sheeran said he wrote his part in a hotel room in New York. He told Audacy that he went to her RI home and heard Rep then the next day wrote it in a hotel in NY. 14 July 2017. (2 months after HS1’s release) (He was also at Taylors NY Apartment 7 March)

I was playing Mohegan Sun in Connecticut, she has a place in Rhode Island, which isn't too far so she hits me up I go around. She plays me what turned out to be Reputation and End Game and I was like man this is I really like, can I do a verse can I like do a rap verse and she was like yeah for sure. So the next day i kind of I remember I was in bed and sort of woke up and i got my laptop out but the song just looped it and I wrote wrote this verse and I went in with max martin who she did the song with and recorded it and then future the verse and then Taylor wrote a verse and then yeah we shot we shot a video".

Film Clip

The film clip is less subtle in being Haylor, it takes place in:

Miami, where HS and TS hung out at Courtney Cox's house

Tokyo, where HS went on a 1D break as his first trip overseas without the band

London, where Ed, HS and Joe all live.

Haylor Easter eggs:

0:04 the ferris wheel looks like the winding wheel.

0:21 she is a passenger in a car at night

0:44 she wears a very Harry Gucci Jumpsuit

0:48 there is a polaroid

1:10 she is a single kitten mother, except Olivia is in her Rep Era lol

1:20 the 1989 Rolling Stone shoot, now in the dark with fireworks.

2:09 Taylor 'A' Swift wears an "A" shirt see: Harry's A tattoo. (When asked Harry said "uh... for my mum" which Louis said "No it's not not it's for a mystery blonde" (2:40)

2:39 she wears the Red/WANGBT hat and cane. She also wears the jacket from her red rolling stone cover.

3:13 there are 2 white bird statues that look like his chest tattoos.

3.30 she references the 1D One Thing MV bus scene

3:43 she visits this kebab shop, a similar one with a made up but similar name is in the 1D midnight memories MV. This tik tok is also about this being an ex’s kebab shop

Lyrics

I wanna be your endgame, endgame Big reputation, big reputation Ooh, you and me, we got big reputations, ah And you heard about me, ooh I got some big enemies (yeah) Big reputation, big reputation Ooh, you and me, we'd be a big conversation, ah

HS and TS have both had big reputations as long as they’ve know each other. Now both A-listers dating is a much bigger conversation than one dating anyone else. Her enemies of Scooter and the Kanye are relevant to the music industry.

I don't wanna touch you (I don't wanna be) Just another ex-love (you don't wanna see) I don't wanna miss you (I don't wanna miss you) Like the other girls do

New Years Day Taylor sings “Please don't ever become a stranger, Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere”.

I don't wanna hurt you (I just wanna be) Drinkin' on a beach with (you all over me)

Harry Styles Debut was released May 2017, 6 months before Rep. Harry told Radio 1 he had played it for Ed earlier. The album lays out a lot of hurt between them Taylor may not have known about in that detail. Drinking, beaches and being all over each other are solid Haylor themes, see Video.

I hit you like, "Bang" We tried to forget it, but we just couldn't

Haylor hit like a bang, they met in march, were together almost immediately, he had multiple tattoos that reference her by May and they both had new albums with songs they still perform about each other by October and November. Toe were friends for a long time first and were not yet public.

Reputation precedes me, they told you I'm crazy I swear I don't love the drama, it loves me And I can't let you go, your handprint's on my soul It's like your eyes are liquor, it's like your body is gold You've been calling my bluff on all my usual tricks So here's the truth from my red lips

There’s a lot of Haylor references here:

They told you I was crazy, I swear I don’t love the drama is a reference to 1989’s Blank Space

I can’t let you go, Handprints on my soul fits is a theme in 1989, MMIH, Stockholm syndrome, ready for it?, Harry’s House.

The truth from my red lips refers to Style, Two Ghosts and other lip related lyrics.

Finally Taylor uses gold to describe HS in Gold Rush: “Everybody wants you, But I don't like a gold rush, What must it be like, to grow up that beautiful?”

song lyrics that scream Lister Bird

actually this whole album is so him

if he released a solo album this would be it. i feel like he’d post a tweet saying “if this gets 1mil likes i’ll release a bunch of songs i wrote when i was 16 and high” and the tweet got well over 3 mil likes and retweets, so he just drops this no warning with a description of “you cant make fun of me or my voice i was 16 and have no singing abilities whatsoever”

i read a fic where he released a solo album and does other stuff i don’t rlly remember if anyone wants it i’ll try to go find it again lol

(  lisa manoban ,  cis woman,  she+her,  24 ,  little mix / jade thirlwall  )  it's  the  resident  label  of  the  a  -  listers  ,  chariya - char - manoban  !  it  makes  sense  why  all  the  tabloids  call  them  that  —  apparently  ,  they're  super  cynical and  impulsive  .  stan  twitter  never  shuts  up  about  how  they're  warm and  down to earth too  ,  though  ,  so  i  guess  we'll  never  really  know  .  i'm  not  a  huge  fan  of  the  actress/girlband member ,  but  i  remember  seeing  something  online  about  them  this  morning  …  yea  ,  here  it  is  .  it  says  ‘  they’re leaving their band  ’  .  do  you  think  that's  true  ,  or  did  tmz  get  it  twisted  again  ?  (  el  ,  est  ,  25+ ,  she/they  )

hey guys ! its me el , or eleanor , your newest piece of trash of a person . did i think of a good backstory for miss char? no . are we going to wing this and figure this out together ? yup ! 

born in a small town in maine , char was the youngest of two children . though the baby , she was never babied . she was a very independent child, curious about everything and from the time she could talk she was singing and putting on plays for her family 

as she grew, she took up odd jobs, like mowing the lawn, building bird houses or helping paint all in the hopes of being able to afford either singing or acting lessons 

when she was able to get a job her lessons became more and more frequent. she went to a community college and studied the arts, and when she was 18 she tried out for a show, and got put into a band with three others, she wasn’t very thrilled at first as she always saw herself as a solo act but the girls connected and its been a blur since 

the act has won countless awards, seen the world and have five albums under their belt

char has always stood up for the lgbtq+ community. she herself has come out as pansexual

she’s currently been in a movie, and loved the process but music is just something she can’t let go of, and never wishes to

Madferit: The Novel - Chapter 24

           London. The city everyone's heard about. The cock of the South?

Regardless, I was there. Convinced by a certain someone I should go because there was no reason for me not to. The whole band had gone down to await the start of the tour and the official release of the album.

The Oasis hype coursed through the whole United Kingdom. People constantly hung around the front gate of Supernova Heights to try and get a peek inside or a glimpse of Noel, me, and whoever else milling about the property.

"You're not goin' out by yourself!" Noel said one afternoon.

"Watch me." I replied as I headed towards the door.

Cameras flashed and people started screaming as soon as my foot touched the first front step. I was surprised they even knew my name.

They didn't chase after me though as they were too focused on waiting to see if Noel would come out.

'Good luck with that.' I thought as I walked down the street. He had no plans to leave the house that day and he certainly wasn't bothered to even come out to greet his fans.

I window shopped as I went down different sidewalks. I wasn't going to buy anything. I just wanted to get out and get some fresh air. The house could be so stagnant sometimes, especially when Noel smoked inside.

My journey eventually led me to a newsstand filled with tons of magazines and newspapers with Liam and Noel's faces on the cover. They all started to run together...until a quote by one of them caught my eye.

"I hope the pair of them catch AIDS and die because I fucking hate them two."

The rivalry had been going on for a few months by then. Long before the singles were even released. The piss takes from both sides were highly expected but this...this took it way too far.

"YOU FUCKING DICK!" I yelled at him as he sat on the couch with his guitar scaring him out of his well-focused solo jam session.

"Jesus Christ!" He exclaimed. "What the fuck are ya-"

"You are the biggest asshole I have ever met! I can't believe how heartless you can-"

"Stop fuckin' yellin' at me!" He got up and came towards me. "You'll not talk to me like-"

The magazine shut him up as soon as it hit his face.

"What the fuck?!"

"You've taken it too fucking far!" I told him. "You're sick!"

"Addie." He said. "What are you-"

"Do you think AIDS is a joke? Do you not realize how serious-"

"Oh for fuck's sake!" He cut me off. "Is that what you're pissed about? It's just a quote, Adds."

"No it isn't!" I argued. "It's disgusting! You don't say something like that as a joke."

He shook his head. "It weren't a joke. I seriously fucking hate Blur. We all do."

"Well I don't. In fact, I happen to like 'Country House'."

"Fuck off!" He barked.

"That's what this is about, isn't it?" I continued. "You're pissed 'cuz they beat you. You guys were so fucking sure you'd come out on top but you didn't. The people have spoken, Noel. Oasis sucks."

He twisted his face up in anger. He was going to explode but I didn't fucking care.

"You know I'm right. And you're gonna regret what you said."

"Yeah." He agreed. "I regret I said I love you. Don't know what the fuck I was thinkin'."

"Probably not a whole lot." I suggested. "Coke makes you do stupid things."

"Like kick your arse out?"

I shrugged. "Go for it. It's not like I don't have a place to go."

He shook his head as he tutted.

"Still here." I said. "So if you're gonna kick me out you better get a move on."

He looked at me and gave me that icy blue stare.

"Alright. I'll kick myself out then." I started walking away.

"Wait!" Noel called as he came after me.

I stopped and turned around to face him.

His eyes filled with just a bit of guilt. "I'm sorry, alright?" He said.

"What are you apologizing to me for?" I asked. "I'm not in Blur."

He sighed as he shook his head. "Why the fuck are ya doin' this?"

"Because somebody needs to."

He stood there in silence. It was hard to tell if he was thinking of what to say next or not.

"Marcus can sort out your official apology." I said.

"He already fuckin' has." Noel replied.

"Good. Gives you more time to focus on your brother's birthday party."

"You what?"

"Liam's got a birthday in a couple days." I reminded him. "You like having parties here, his birthday can be one of them."

"No!" He said firmly. "Absolutely-"

"It's the least you can do. Show everyone you're not a dick."

To my great shock, he obliged. I think he felt guilty because he knew how pissed I was about his Blur comment. He knew I wasn't afraid to walk and I would if he gave me a good enough reason to do so.

Liam's birthday party was held on the actual day and anybody who was anybody on the list of UK A-listers was invited. At least, that's how it seemed anyway. And only a select few Mancunians from the pre-Oasis days got to come as well. No Tony or Kelly though. I knew Tony would be an absolute no but Kelly...I didn't even bother trying. Noel would deem her unworthy of an invite due to her association with the piss poor drummer. He was phasing out his own friends. It was only natural he did the same with mine.

I put on a brave face and prepared myself for the evening. I received word both Patsy and Meg were coming. Patsy for sure, Meg was still a maybe.

The house was so packed I didn't even see the guest of honor arrive...if he even had.

"He's always fuckin' late." Noel reminded me. "Fuckin' cunt's gonna be late to his own fuckin' funeral."

And knowing him, he was probably doing it on purpose. There was no way he'd come to an event that was all about him and not make a grand entrance.

Still, he hadn't done that yet but I was sure when he did, I'd definitely be one of the first ones to witness it.

Noel kept me by his side as we mingled with all the guests. I could tell he was showing me off.

"This is my girlfriend, Addie."

"This is my missus, Addie."

"This is my bird, Addie."

Every single person he introduced me to was informed of who I was by way of one of those statements. Nobody knew I had just ended things with Liam which was alright in my book. Back then, I was still just the chick following the band. The people who needed to know about our relationship knew.

"I don't give a fuck about the rest a the world." Liam said. "Our relationship is ours and no one fuckin' else's. And they're not gonna fuckin' take it from us."

As I stood there watching Noel talk to someone with a big smile on his face and a firm grip on my hand, I mulled Liam's statement over. I used to think it was his way of keeping me secret so he could go out and fuck other people. Like what John Lennon did with Cynthia. Of course, no one told Liam he couldn't let on he had a girlfriend and he definitely gave me the title.

Maybe that statement was his way of holding on to the little bit of privacy he had left. Maybe he really did want us to have something special that was just between us...and no one fuckin' else.

'Oh God!' I thought.

Had I made a mistake?

Did I pick the wrong brother?

My thinking got interrupted when an unfamiliar face approached us.

"Alright, Scott!" Noel said to him cheerfully.

"Alright." He said with a smile.

Noel turned to me. "Scott, this is my girlfriend, Addie. Addie, this is Scott McLeod, Guigs' replacement."

"What?" I said puzzled. "Oh my God! You sacked Guigsy too?"

"No!" He assured me. "He's the one who fucked off! Summat about nervous exhaustion. Scott's just here to fill in."

"You said replace."

He shrugged confused. "What's the fuckin' difference?"

"Job security!" I said. I turned to Scott. "Where are you from?"

"Oldham." He replied.

"Ah another boy from the North. Do me a favor and don't forget where you're from. They like to try to make you in this band."

"The fuck's that s'posed to mean?" Noel quipped.

"Like I really have to tell you." I turned back to Scott. "Our Noel thinks Manchester's a toilet and he hates having to go back."

"No I don't!"

I rolled my eyes. "The only thing he cares to associate with is the football team. He's losing his frickin' accent and now he has the nerve to make fun of Blur when they're practically neighbors! If you believe he's one of the cocks of the North, you're sadly mistaken. Save that title for his brother. At least he still lives there."

Smoke looked like it was about to blow out of Noel's ears now. "Addie-"

"So you a bass player." I continued to talk to Scott.

"I am, yeah." He said with a nod. "Was in the Ya-Yas. Now I'm in Oasis."

"You must be good then. Probably one of the best in England. You wouldn't be here if you weren't."

He smiled. "Thanks."

I smiled back. "Do your best." I told him. "Don't make him sack you." I nodded at Noel.

Noel shook his head. "You fuckin'-"

"Nice meeting you." I said to Scott before taking off.

"Addie!" Noel called as he chased after me. "Addie!"

I almost got away. I was almost in the clear before he-

"What the fuckin' hell are you doing?!" I exclaimed as I tried yanking my wrist free from his grasp.

"C'mon!" He barked as he dragged me through the crowd and up the stairs.

"Let go of me, you prick!" I yelled as I tried in vain to pull away from him.

"Not a fuckin' chance!" He said as he led me into the bedroom.

He pushed me forward causing me to lose my balance a bit when he let go of my wrist. I was able to catch myself just as he slammed the door shut.

"Who the fuck d'ya think ya are talkin' to me like that?!" He asked as he came towards me.

"I wasn't talking to you." I clarified. "I was talking about you."

He clenched his fists to the point his knuckles turned slightly white. "You stupid fuckin' yank! You have no fuckin' clue what you're talkin' about and I'll not have the piss taken outta me in my own fuckin' house!"

"Then kick me the fuck! Out! Fuck knows I don't belong here yet you still won't make me leave. Make me leave, Noel. Act on your fucking words for once and make me leave."

He sighed as he shook his head. "Why are we fuckin' fighting?" He asked.

"Because you're a dick!" I replied.

He tutted. "You're the dick! I'm not the one that's startin' shit but I'll definitely be the one to fuckin' finish it."

"And how ya gonna do that?"

"By sayin' I'm sorry. Look, Adds. I didn't mean to piss ya off. If it's any consolation, I regretted sayin' those words as soon as they come out me fuckin' mouth. I wasn't thinkin' right-"

"Coke makes you do that." I chimed in.

He rolled his eyes. "And I s'pose you might be happy to know that Marcus didn't write my apology. I did. From the bottom of me heart."

"Wow." I raised my eyebrows in shock. "It's so weird seeing you act like an actual human being. Capable of feeling guilt and even remorse."

"What? You think my heart's a black hole or summat?"

"It's possible." I replied. "I mean, all that tar in your cigarettes...but I suppose it won't rot it away completely. You really can be sweet when you wanna be."

"Nice to see you've finally noticed." He said with a nod.

I smirked at him.

He smirked back. "I really do care about ya, Addie. And I don't wanna lose you."

"Then don't."

He smiled again then came towards me. He cupped the back of my head in his palms and gently put his lips on mine.

"Stop!" I ordered as I stood still to keep him from pushing me to walk backwards.

"What ya mean stop?" He asked. "The bed's right there. It's only natural we have a quick one before we go back downstairs."

"No it isn't."

"Aw! C'mon, Adds! It's make-up sex, right? And we definitely fuckin' need it."

"No we don't." I said firmly as I pushed him away and headed towards the door.

"Addie!"

I stepped out the door to the full sound of the stereo filling the house with some track by the Rolling Stones.

I looked to my right and there he was...his crystal blue eyes quickly filling with anger before he turned around and took off.

"Liam!" I said as I followed him but I knew my voice was drowned out by the music.

We both got down to the first level of the house and I watched him wade through the crowd towards the back.

"Just fuck off!" He said to Patsy as she tried stopping him.

"But-"

He shook her off his shoulder then disappeared in the sea of people.

"What the hell do you want?" She sniped at me. "You said you didn't want him so why the fuck are you chasing him?"

"'Cuz you're obviously not arsed enough to do it." I replied.

She shook her head in shock as she walked towards me. "You bitch-"

"Hey!" I held my hands up to hold her back. "I tried setting you guys up. It's obvious there's something going on between you even if Liam's too thick to realize it."

Her demeanor quickly changed and she looked at me curiously. "You think so?"

"Yeah. I mean, all those times he fucked off on me to go hang out with you...I'm sure he wouldn't do it for just anyone."

"You're right. So I suppose it comes as no surprise to you that he told me how you were just for the time being but I'm the one he really wants to spend the rest of his life with."

"Not at all." I replied with the slightest, most fakest smile I could possible make.

"Good." She said with a grin. "Glad we got that all cleared up." She didn't wait for my response and took off to go to talk to some other actress.

It was quite hot now and stuffy. I needed air. The cool breeze of the London evening. Thank goodness Noel actually had a backyard.

It was small of course but big enough for a patio and grass. And that night it was empty, save for one person out having a smoke.

"I said fuck off, Patsy!" He snapped with his back facing me. "I'm not in the fuckin' mood."

"Alright." I replied. I went to turn around but he beat me to it.

"I'm not in the mood for you either!" He shook his head before putting his cigarette back in his mouth for another drag.

"That's okay." I went and sat down in the chair beside him. "I'm here for a breath of fresh air."

"Fuck off!"

I gazed out quietly at the house on the other side of the fence.

"Ya lied to me." He spoke again about thirty seconds later.

"No I didn't." I said as I shook my head.

"Yes ya did! Ya said you weren't breakin' up with me 'cuz a Noel and I fuckin' believed you! Why would you-"

"Because we didn't work-"

"Yes we fuckin' did! I love ya, Tixie. I always-"

"Stop!" I yelled as I fought back tears. "If you loved me, you wouldn't have run off and fucked Patsy-"

"And you wouldn'tve fucked our Noel." He cut me off. "I'm not fuckin' stupid! I knew you were doin' it since fuck knows when. It's why he don't get pissed at ya no more."

I just sat quietly. I didn't know what else to do.

"I had ya first." He continued. "And if it weren't for me, you wouldn't even fuckin' be here!"

"I know." I said softly.

"Then why can't I keep you?"

I went to respond but got interrupted by the clouds rolling in.

"I-it's not s'posed to fuckin' storm!" Liam remarked as we stared up at the sky. "It's s'posed to rain but not fuckin'..." He gulped as his left hand started to shake while he rested it on his thigh.

We stayed outside long enough for him to finish his cigarette and then went back in to join the party.

Eventually, the time came for all the guests to clear out with the exception of Liam.

"Come stay at mine." Patsy suggested.

"Nah." He replied. "Our Kid's already got the guestroom made up for me."

"Would ya like me to stay and keep you company then so you don't have to sleep alone?"

"Nah. I'm not arsed for sharin', me. Done it me whole fuckin' life and now I don't fuckin' have to."

She dropped it at that and left for Hounslow and the house was empty, save for three occupants.

We all went to bed. Noel and me in the master bedroom, Liam in the guest one. It was finally quiet. Finally still. And I was sure I'd be able to get peace.

Noel and I fell asleep quickly but I easily woke right back up to the sound of the door creaking open.

"Tixie?" Liam whispered. "Tixie!"

"What's the matter?" I asked looking up at him.

"I can't sleep. Can I stay in here with you?"

"No you can't." I pointed over at Noel.

"He won't even know I'm here." He assured me. "Please Tixie? I promise I'll be quiet."

I sighed as I considered it. "Alright but you better...what the heck are you doing?"

"Gettin' ready for a kip." He replied as he tossed his shirt on the floor.

"No!" I said as he grabbed the waistband of his boxers. "You gotta leave your clothes on."

"Oh c'mon, Tix! Ya know I don't like wearin' 'em to bed."

"I know but sometimes we have to do things we don't like."

"Yeah. Like lettin' me sleep naked. Scoot over!" He pushed on my shoulder to get me to move.

"No! Liam!" I tried to hold my ground but gave up quickly when Noel started to stir.

He didn't wake up. He just moved around and readjusted himself but I knew I couldn't take any chances.

I moved over close enough to him to give Liam enough room to crawl in. "Do not wake him up!" I warned.

"I won't." Liam replied. "I told ya, he won't even fuckin' know I'm here."

I breathed quietly as he got comfortable...which made me uncomfortable in the process.

"Liam! For Heaven's sake-"

"I can't help it!" He said as he pushed his face into the crook of my neck. "I'm safest here."

I sighed as I tried to figure out if there was anything else to say as Noel cleared his throat.

"What the fuck?!" Liam exclaimed as Noel stretched his arm over my stomach, the backs of his fingers touching Liam's stomach in the process.

"Be! Quiet!" I hissed.

"Move his hand, Adds. Seriously! He's gonna touch me fuckin' dick!"

Noel's hand was near my hip which meant he wasn't far from Liam's hips either. I grabbed his arm and pulled it back up near my chest.

Liam put his hand across my stomach and snuggled even more into the side of my neck.

"Happy Birthday, Liam." I said after I realized I never actually got the chance to tell him.

"It's not my birthday anymore." He replied.

"We can still pretend though, can't we?"

"S'pose so. Thanks Tixie."

"You're welcome."

By some great miracle, we both found it easy enough to fall asleep all without disturbing Noel. I have no idea how we pulled it off and I wasn't about to question it.

I woke up before the boys did but it's not like I could go anywhere. They had me locked in, sandwiched between them, and I had a feeling they weren't about to let me go.

Liam's lips felt warm against my skin as they pressed against my neck. They felt even warmer when they started to vibrate...as he began to sing.

I know a girl who's lost and lonely

Sits by the phone on her own

But the phone don't ring

And the birds don't sing in her tree

Noel coughed but remained sound asleep.

Liam had kicked the song down to a pretty slow pace as he groggily continued.

She lost herself in a haze of pity

And doesn't know where to run

Needs a headshrinker now

And I think it's time we had some fun

"Tixie?" He said making me gasp as I thought he was still asleep.

"What?" I asked quickly.

"Can we have breakfast now 'cuz I'm bloody starvin'."

"Yeah. Get dressed and I'll meet you downstairs."

He yawned as he stretched a bit then rolled out of bed and put his clothes on.

I watched as he left the room, closing the door behind him. I lay there for a few seconds staring at the door.

"Was someone just in here?" Noel asked making me gasp again. "Did Our Kid-"

"No." I replied as I shook my head.

"Good. But why the fuck are ya pushed all the way over on my side a the bed?"

"I wanted to cuddle."

He chuckled. "Does this mean you're not pissed at me no more?" He asked.

"It might." I replied with a smirk.

He giggled again as I stroked his cheek.

"I'm gonna go get started on breakfast." I sat up.

"Alright. I'll be down in a sec, yeah?"

"Okay." I told him. "Take your time."

I got out of bed as Noel stretched and tried to wake himself up more. I left him to do his thing and headed downstairs to the kitchen.

number 4 for the ask game >:]

4 - fine, dino nuggeTs

"danced with the devil and her name was cj / i see her in the eyes of a radio dj / (wiki-wiki-what?) (you’re a cunt)"

"carrie jane, ripe old age / lips that taste like cheap limeade / never knew just when to quit / but carrie cared, she gave a shit"

"stocked my fridge with caviar / ocean pearls in a jelly jar"

(i imagine lister's style to be kind of like penelope scott's... not conforming to a genre & allowing things to be imperfect for the sake of emotion. also the random, almost vocal stimmy one-liners she'll throw in in the background. hence the "you're a cunt" bit lmao.)

[the-incident-on-show-day]

2 and 8 for the ask game! :D

2 - take Infinity (lights up)

“lights up / on a girl / in a darkening world / with a gleam in her eye and a necklace of pearl”

“the camera / pans a body / that she hasn’t quite grown into yet / lingers far too long on the dangling prop cigarette”

“action / she takes a drag / then kicks the legs she wished she had / against the tree house built by her cousin’s brother’s friend / and she feels larger than life / and she feels smaller than death / and she feels a little woozy and…”

"3, 2, 1."

8 - Interlude - this is not a love song

(SPOKEN, NOT LYRICS)

“sometimes i feel like my life is separated into two parts. before her and after her. but i don’t say that out loud because that feels too romantic for what we had. 

so yeah. this is not a love song.”

lister bird solo album

IT IS VERY REAL TO ME LETS TALK ABOUT THIS !!! pls be aware im not the best with my music terms, im what you may call a poser or whatever.

during their hiatus when lister is struggling with everything thats happened to him, both in his childhood and with the band. he's given the typical advice from his therapist to write stuff down. at first he thinks it's dumb, but he gets himself a nice leather journal and starts writing anything that comes to mind. long winded rants about things he feels are unfair, talks of shows he's watched, comics he's read, games he's played, and also the odd few pages of lyrics he's written. he starts to really enjoy song writing, and with time he starts to hyper-fixate on his writing and begins composing different melodies along with it.

both rowan and jimmy here him working on it late at night sometimes. rowan is the one who starts telling him he has the skill to turn his work into an album, even if it's just for him and no one else.

drums are still his favourite, always will be, but he sharpens his guitar skills too. its good distraction for him when he needs something to do, as it's something new and not automatic for him. he really has to focus on what he's doing, which takes him away from his own thoughts for a while.

singing is the opposite, he sings when he needs to let himself feel everything in the moment; process it, let himself cry a bit. unlike the arks music, the words are harder to sing along to because it's all written from his own experience. with the lyrics he's written for the band, as much as he's in love with jimmy's voice, hearing the words that are supposed to represent himself from someone else's voice feels wrong, so everything he's written there has been more of a concept. these words are actually his own. it's probably the most accurate representation of his thought process. as he signs, the tone of his voice fluctuates a lot. he goes from softly spoken whispers to harsh words spilling through a clenched jaw.

he produces the entire thing himself. lyrics, voice, guitar, percussion. it's all his own work and he's rightfully proud of himself. and he should be because it sounds beautiful, even with the little imperfections throughout it. he still struggles with everything he's written about, it's not as if it magically fixed him. but it helped him lots, he really feels like he's doing good for himself. in a musical sense, i feel like it would sound like a mix of fires fading into black (holden laurence) and your city gave me asthma (wilbur soot). laurence makes me think of how he'd play, it's quite soft, makes me feel warm. but wilbur makes be think of how his voice might sound, you can really hear the raw emotion in each line. (like that one loosing face demo.) thematically, it would have an overall theme of the loneliness he has felt for years, emotionally isolated from everyone around him. the songs explore different parts of what he's struggled with. unrequited love, uncomfortable conversations, his addiction, pressure put onto him by everyone, his childhood, his assault, the river.

he doesn't publicise it for a long while, not sure if he wants so people to know about this part of him. when he does, he doesn't announce it anywhere, but the fans find it soon enough. a new youtube channel under his name with just one, 27 minuet long video, with a sweet note in the video description, little words of motivation for who ever cared enough to read it. people freak the fuck out, but he just lets them, for a while, it's funny to watch. first the freak out because 'omfg content theres content guys' the 'omg is he leaving the ark what the hell !!!!' but the feedback is overwhelmingly positive. what he doesn't expect though, it people wishing him well and hoping he's okay, as well as people going through similar things saying how comforting it is for someone they look up too let them know their not alone. its the first time he feels a slight connection to the strangers that form his fanbase, in a way, it makes him feel less alone too.

jimmy listens to it himself for the first time, he'd never asked much about it as he knew it was personal. it's the first time he cries over music in a long time. lister sings of things he'd never spoken of to either himself or rowan, while he had a vague idea of some of them, he never knew how much these things really do effect him. after staring at his ceiling for a while to recover, jimmy finds himself in listers room, hugging him tightly. he tells him that hes proud of him, not just for the album, but just for facing everything and still being with them.
