Signs Of Life 2 - taken at Soho square, London (I need to deal with making the portrait ones so massive, I know)

Main delay in getting this song uploaded was trying to decide whether 'Ghost Toilets' or '24 Hour Urinal Song' was more enticing, or did more justice to the photo. As usual, I hedged it by putting one in brackets, but any feedback on the matter welcome! EDIT (13/3) - I came up with a title that I thinks works better!

Anyway, lyrically, these are the BIG questions! I think I've made my opinions clear on the matter.

Oh yeah inspired once more by a Marek Larwood youtube video -

Lyrics

Do I believe in ghosts? No. They don't exist. It's impossible, and Even if they did

Why do they just appear In creepiest locations - Castles, haunted mansions and Abandoned rail stations;

And never on the edge of a toilet, or At a 24-hour urinal?

These supposed ghosts, you will never meet them Hoverin’ around the lavatory Like when they were living,

Spectral trousers round their ankles Reading the newspaper, Instead they're always groaning Out a warning of disaster;

Never on the edge of a toilet, Or at a 24-hour urinal

The idea of ghosts - Creation of mass grief. Remember them my way and get some joy from it.

"Spectral trousers round their ankles " made me laugh so much ! I love it. I could see Bill Murray forming a "Ghostflushers" team. Plus taht would explain some pipe sounds I witnessed...

@kristinzee 2025

Hahaha I love this! Such a good point, why are ghosts not in the bathroom?? So great to put a random thought into a fun song like this. I wrote a song called "Things I Wonder About" this FAWM but nothing included was quite this interesting haha!

@thegoldenhelmet 2025

Such a bizarre song and so very eccentric idea I think, but quite unique.

@fuzzy 2025

If it were me, I'd definitely go with '24 Hour Urinal Song'. You're right, though; why only in creepy places?? I'm liking your uke sound here. So plinky plonky. Appealing.

As a child, I thought my basement bathroom probably had a vampire in it -- which feels adjacent to haunting. This is a fun track, and I enjoyed your liner notes, too!

@sapient 2025

Are these one of those loos that appear out of the ground, only to disappear at odd hours, leaving nothing but what looks like a big metal plate behind them? And why aren't there more loos anyway? So yeah, an fine song with an important and thoughtful message. ;)

@gordon 2025

Another good one. Maybe the people who saw them in 24 urinals are just too embarrassed to admit it! Digging that backing track sir, proper spooky stuff.

As hard hitting reporting the video was, the song embodies the deeper questions at an even higher, or more thorough, nature. I mean, why not on the edge of a toilet. And now I'm getting some joy from the thought as well. Nicely played.

The current title is what made me pick this one to listen to. The alternate title seems better but I'm not sure if it would make me more or less prone to click the play button or not. I'm afraid I'm little help other than to say, both are unique enough to garner attention.
