Even in a controlled environment, love can be nurtured gracefully. Inspired by Haruki Murakami's book "The City and Its Uncertain Walls."

"Affection in the Walls" is a song about lovers living in a closed-off town surrounded by towering walls."

【Lyrics】

Under the moonlight
We walk by the river
Sneakers in my hand and it’s wet 
We're on our way

We climb out of the water,
Lie in the grass so green and oughta
We're just holding each other's hands as one
In this moment, you and me  

It’s my everyday's mundane life scene
No fears, no tears
We won't ever leave this place 

There is a quaint town within sturdy walls
Where everything's rewritten, people's lives unfold
You read the dreams, while I tend to the hearth, warming our souls
Our love will be eternal affection in the walls it holds

We've got no shadows, even when the sun is bright
If your eyes are hurt, I'll heal through the dark night
No need to leave this place, in our love's warm air

There is a quaint town within sturdy walls
Where everything's rewritten, people's lives unfold
You read the dreams, while I tend to the hearth, warming our souls
Our love will be eternal affection in the walls it holds

No clock's hands, no time's go
No memories, just plain land
No past 'bout a this town  so bland
Then no sadness, no weakness
No one feels deep despair
Just small, chirping birds in the clear

Outside's a mystery, we'll never see
Even don't need to know, here we'll be

You read the dreams, while I tend to the hearth, warming our souls
Our love will be eternal affection in the walls it holds

Affection in the Walls

A-laise - Affection In The Walls

we listen to our music and stare at the silver screen
that’s where we got all our wisdom
but we haven’t learned a lesson yet,
no we haven’t learned a lesson yet oh no, oh no

records and concerts and flowers and dope
love-ins and blue jeans and politics and hope
meditation yoga and non pollutant soap, oh yeah
it all loses meaning when you’re crazy and broke
it all loses meaning when your crazy and broke oh no

it’s just the time now to sing the rhyme now,
it’s just the time now to sing the rhyme now,
oh yes i swear now that i’m aware now
oh yes i swear now i say a prayer now

we listen to our music glued to the colored sets
we pretend that we don’t care at all
but we haven’t learned a lesson yet,
no we haven’t learned a lesson yet oh no, oh no

communes and stereos and women’s rights,
it all loses meaning in the new moonlight
dance in the clubs to the lazer lights oh yeah
it's all or nothing, which one is right
its all or nothing, which one is right oh no

it’s just the time now to sing the rhyme now,
it’s just the time now to sing the rhyme now,
oh yes i swear now that i’m aware now
oh yes i swear now i say a prayer

Bad Headache

Original by Bob Dylan (1968)                                                                              This is my humble version of this beautiful song..

I use backing track on this, its not me playing the piano :)

Trapped Rat

When I was young I remember watching Bob Geldof of The Boomtown Rats on Top Of The Pops rip up a picture of John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John from Grease. Summer nights had been at number 1 for seven weeks. The Rats had knocked it off to take the number one spot with Rat Trap. 
I was around 11 and thought this guy is so cool and the music and storytelling lyrics captivated me. 
This is the reason I wanted to be a frontman which lead on my journey of music from playing live at Birmingham’s Nec, releasing singles, albums on various labels and finally my last ever band gig selling out Ronnie Scott’s. 
These days I’m more of a bedroom rockstar recording remotely which suits me fine. It’s a young man’s game.
Trapped Rat is a continued story of Rat Trap and how in my head I thought Billy & Judy ended up 45 years later.
Yes I know it’s a long track but stick with the story as it’s a short story in song.
Noobly said it’s our Jungleland like Springsteen and I agree with him.
Hope you enjoy the journey because Rat Trap still remains one of my favourite all time tunes. 
And Geldof in his early work was a lyrical inspiration to me. 

V1
Billy rocks from side to side sitting in the darkness 
Hes listening to music that now makes him feel worthless 
The songs they remind him of those younger days 
When he thought he had no future 
And needed to change his ways 

Bridge pre chorus 
And Gorgeous  Judy was the only precious thing 
And he don’t see her no more 
Cause he’s a troubled thing 
Who  are the Rats who are the people 
it’s hard to decide for Billy theses days

V2
Billy don’t leave the house only to go down the offey 
8 on the dot to buy cheap booze and backey 
He still pushes the button to cross that busy road 
He’s now in his early sixties and god he feels the cold 

(Bridge pre chorus )
As the youths are hanging around the yellow streets lights 
In years gone by he would have picked a fight 
Who  are the Rats who are the people 
it’s hard to decide for Billy theses days

Chorus 
Your still  a trapped rat Billy 
Cause you never left the cage 
Your still a trapped rat Billy 
Cause you never left the cage 
Even in your old age x2



V3
Judy made a life with some hot shot lawyer
And her life with Billy is just something that annoys her
And when she arrives she pictures the Italian cafe 
It’s new bricks and mortar shes now visiting her and Billy’s daughter 

V4
Judy now in the bracket of middle classes 
And now drinks her coffee in double walled borosilicate glasses
And now 50p is  the least of her worries & cares 
She lives the highlife with panache grace &  flair

(Bridge pre chorus)
She don’t speak of Billy and nights spent together 
She as her own family from the land of never never 
She knows the rats 
She know the people 
It’s not hard for Judy  to decide these days
These days 

Chorus

When Charlotte sent me her rough idea for a song , it's working title was ' Sad Song ' , and it was going to be a ballad , as time went on it developed into a sort of dance track , we're so pleased with how this has turned out , hope you like it ! We've nearly finished a great Rock ballad , so excited about it . In the meantime I've nearly finished a super song with Lyricist Andrea Brennan from New York , we have our 1st song out on the 1st of May . Just before that on the 22nd of this month is a smashing Country Rock song I did with Alabama Lyricist Tony Harris , thank you for staying tuned !
