London Drawing's Tower of London Lock-in as part of the BIG DRAW festival London

Imagine a lit up cobbled pathway,
and an eerie cold room,
a few crunching footsteps from the guards,
and shadows jumping off the heavy steel windows,
imagine a night where 20 people are let loose after hours,
to roam the ancient bricked rooms,
where histories of royality and tormented prisoners loom.
since 1066, when the Norman Conquest hit upon its walls
The Tower of London 
is where the story falls.
















We drew in darkened rooms to the tales being told by historical figures 
We interpreted our own narratives in what we created.
King Henry the V111 even paid a visit.

Fistful of love

I was lying in my bed last night staring
At a ceiling full of stars
When it suddenly hit me
I just have to let you know how I feel
We live together in a photograph of time
I look into your eyes
And the seas open up to me
I tell you I love you
And I always will
And I know you can't tell me
I know you can't tell me

So I'm left to pick up
The hints, the little symbols of your devotion
So I'm left to pick up
The hints, the little symbols of your devotion

And I feel your fists
And I know it's out of love
And I feel the whip
And I know it's out of love
And I feel your burning eyes burning holes
Straight through my heart
It's out of love
It's out of love

I accept and I collect upon my body
The memories of your devotion
I accept and I collect upon by body
The memories of your devotion

And I feel your fists
And I know it's out of love
And I feel the whip
And I know it's out of love
And I feel your burning eyes burning holes
Straight through my heart
It's out of love, ooh hoo
It's out of love

Give me a little bit serious love
Give me a little full love
Be full of love

Fists, fists, fists full of love...
