catchy rock??? Listen for yourself.
Welcome, there isn't much to say that would make you understand what I do better than just letting you know who I am, which is Jay. I'm the kind of guy who would rather stay inside and write then go outside and play, forever. I'm the kind of guy who falls in love with almost everything, finds it hard to capture it all in a song so has to keep on going. I may be wrong but for me, a good songwriter can't be one that sits back and smells the coffee and relaxes, a real songwriter is basically (in a nice way) tormented by creation, and that is me.

Story behind the song
I have a song called 'Peace Song' already and it's really mellow and relaxing and peaceful, hence the title. Oddly enough it was going to be a song about the whole, 'Peace Not War' thing. But, I guess I'm a lousy mouthpiece, so I opted for flilty guitars and soft BGVs. THIS song however, I was chatting with Diana and got the lines, 'Picture us in uniforms, ufo's are packin guns'...I thought it was funny. And I guess it was, kinda WIll Smith M.I.B. or ID4. ;) But, it kept moving on at a more serious pace, including a Bush-War bashing verse *shock* By the time I finished the song the 'UFO' line was almost out of place, well...who cares? I don't. And if you hadn't realized already. This is a massive ripoff of one of my favourite bands. Dare ya to guess.
Lyrics
Getting lost in camoflauge military entourage love and hate are holding hands again picture us in uniforms ufo's are packin guns and they count on you to save their friends Ohhhh See the forest from the trees Mercy waiting on it's knees trudging through my disbelief and then, pick me up to let me down force your captive to the ground forget about beginnings, it's the end Ohhhhh You keep lying through your teeth See you on the TV screen telling me you only try to mend I believe all that I see write it down in history are you an enemy or friend? I hear you whispering Are you faultering? something's wrong I see you wondering you can't keep it in something's wrong
