Stoneygate

Stoneygate is an electronic artist and producer based in the East Midlands. From a background of playing acoustic guitar and songwriting, Stoneygate has branched out into electronic music production. Stoneygate has eclectic influences which range from Everything but the Girl to Boards of Canada, via Kate Bush, Blondie, John Adams, 80s Synthpop and plenty more besides. The result of this crazy tapestry of ideas is a relaxing blend of filmscore, downtempo, chillout and trip hop tunes: instrumentals ideal for while you work, and vocal tracks for when you kick back and put your feet up.

 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

You can only get away with it for so long
Cutting corners
Taking advantage


Taking from the weak
Hoarding what was never yours
Moral bankruptcy

There always comes a time
When the birds come home to roost
There always comes a time
When the sorry facts reveal the truth

There always comes a time
When justice will prevail
When the scales fall back to balance
When the powerful will fail

May I tell you, you're on borrowed time
Like a prisoner on death row
You can only get away with it for so long
Until injustice is exposed

You can only get away with it for so long
