I was actually strumming and writing the words when I was called to the TV 20 years ago and saw the events unfold in New York.
I dedicate this song to those who lost loved ones on that awful day, written from the eyes of a man who lost the love of his life.
Girl of my dreams

I hate September what a miserable time of year
Summer's gone and winters drawing in
The nights are cold as cold as your heart
it cuts me like a knife

I wanna relax I wanna forget
I want all this to disappear
boy do I hate I hate this time of year
the stage is set and it soon becomes oh so crystal clear
you're the reason I hate this time of year

My bags are packed and I'm ready to go I'm leaving this town
I gotta get away gotta start a new life on my own
the thought of that well it scares me ooh it scares me half to death

I wanna relax I wanna forget
I want all this to disappear
boy do I hate I hate this time of year
I want to spend the rest of my life with the girl of my dreams
trouble is the girl of my dreams was you.

I wanna get to Number One  
I wanna look like its all bin fun
I want all the world to know what I eat 
to answer those questions on MTV
I want to sing in the pouring rain 
'n be in love and look like I'm in pain
Look sincere and hold out my hand
I want to be in a boy band

I wanna be tattooed from head to toe
holes in places where the holes don't go
I wanna strut around fully dressed in mud
cut myself and see my blood
I wanna be in a boy band
girls play my records thro out the land
wanna run round in the nude
Just like Blink 182

Gonna learn the craft of life
forget being normal this is the after life
Wot I earn in 50 years they earn in one
that to me 'sgotta be the one

Jump up and down pullin faces
Driving fast cars in stupid places
Wanna get a sponsorship from Paul Reed Smith
Give up fags and smoke only spliffs
Dont sell out gonna  write my songs
Not a  pop idol but it won't take long
Fat greysuits take care of it all
jump in the air 'n grab my balls
I wanna be in a boy band
girls play my records thro the land
I  wanna run round in the nude
Just like Blink 182
wanna be tattooed from head to toe
holes in places where holes don't go
I wanna strut around fully dressed in mud`
cut myself and see my blood
I wanna be in a boy band
girls play my records thro out the land
Ah wanna run round in the nude
Just like Blink 182

Wanna get to Number One
Ah wanna  look its all bin fun
Want to wun around in the nude
Just like Blink 182

I Wanna Be In A Boy Band

This started as my take of Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd and I was actually strumming and writing the words when I was called to the TV 10 years ago today and saw the events unfold in New York. 
I dedicate this song to those who lost loved ones on that awful day, written from the eyes of a man who lost the love of his life.


Girl of my dreams

On Christmas Eve, someone stopped me and said Hullo; you don't remember me do you?  He talked and I listened for maybe 5 minutes. Verse 2 is a little of what he said. Jeez what a brave man to stop me, and tell me his thoughts. When he went he shook my hand and said thanks for listening" .
This is for him. In the song I pretended we were child hood mates.
Hullo Suzie

When we were kids we used to hang about every day in the park
we were the kinda friends that'll watch each others  backs
then home alone with your thoughts  going through your mind oh so dark
I never knew you didn't feel the same as I did

You say you never get used to people who stop and stare
it was hard and you cried each night when you were alone
you said you felt deserted as no one seemed to have a care
but now you can be who ever it is that you finally want to be
Hullo Susie
i'm glad you can feel at home at last

Hullo Susie

At least there's something we now know
there's no reason for him to go
but the difference in the way we speak and hold it tight oh no-o
at least there's something we now know
we now know angels can sing rock and roll

there's still a lot that we got left
all the memories just won't fade
gones the difference in the way we speak and hold it tight oh no-o
at least there's something we now know
we now know angels can sing rock and roll

aah just a king
ooh just a king
I'll never know
if it's gonna come true like they say
might as well do as they say
it doesn't matter

all as one we feel the same
each feels different as a name
but the difference in the way we speak and hold it tight oh no-o
at least there's something we now know
we now know angels can sing rock and roll

ooh just a king
ooh just a king
I'll never know
if it's gonna come true like they say
might as well do as they say
it doesn't matter
anymore

Angels Can Sing Rock And Roll

you do not love a woman cos she's beautiful
she is beautiful because you are in love with her
love takes off the masks that we fear we cant live without
we know we cannot live within

im in love with you cos i need you
and i need you cos im in love with you
sometimes the heart sees what is hidden  to the eye
cos where there is love there is life

it was not my ear into which you whispered
it was not my ear it was my heart
it was not my lips that you kissed my darling but my soul 
and at the touch of love,  poets words I write

tell me who admires you and who loves you
and i will tell you just exactly who you are
there is nothing which can hide or prevent  love for long
or disguise it if it is not there

SOLO

we all suffer from the misconception that exists
that perfection should always be there
it does not begin and end the way we seem to think it does
and if you judge people  you show contempt for love

you do not love a woman cos she's beautiful
she is beautiful because you are in love with her
a small degree of hope is enuff to cause love
and my words echo round in your mind

Echo Around Your Mind

falling in love
falling in love
I've falling in love cos  i don't know what to do whats happening here am i in love with you
I've  falling in love
am I  falling in love
am I falling in love cos I just don't know any more

i often dream about the day we met walking to the dance me and the boys not  care in the world

I've fallen in love and still didn't know what to do 

I've sitting on the front porch beer in my hand, half a sleep just watching the sun go down
they don't make anything much better than this and i know there's bin a few,  specially with me and the boys
 I'm thinking of the girl I love and that day we were making those plans
about all those things that we always wanted to come true, just me and you

fallen in love

I've fallen in love and I don't know what to do cos  its happened gain am I in love with you
I've falling in love

I've falling in love and I just  cant help it but I've fallen in love in love with you again

Fallin In Love

she made it so damned hard to love her
she made just real certain I knew just how she felt
she screamed just one more time so I ran across the road
at the traffic lights on Prince of Wales Drive

well i decided it was time for me to have a drink or two
and my favourite bar was only up the road thankfully
the boys said how you bin, she let you out again
I told them about the incident on prince of wales drive

Boy how they laughed
they laughed until they cried
and very soon even I had joined in
the beer began to flow then we all said that we'd go 
to the traffic lights on Prince of Wales Drive

Boy how we laughed
we laughed until we cried
and the someone noticed that  it had just started  to rain
the beer was really flowing so we decided not to go go 
to the traffic lights on Prince of Wales Drive

The Traffic Lights On Prince Of Wales Drive

everyday I sit by the telephone just waitin for someone to ring me
cos I dont make no phonecalls cos that aint cool
and everynight I head down the local bar just to hang around, yeh that's cool
and all those chicks flock around me, cos they know its cool to be at
they just gotta be near me
they just gotta be somewhere where they can touch me smell me 
they know I gotta it, you know I got it

I got aah well its just another day in my life another day not to suffer the fools gladly
but I'd gladly suffer cool
hey man did I say that, I didnt mean what I said then it was just ah me just ah

by the slow time rhythms, hitting them black and whites
yeh its time for some drink
time to think time to aah well there's no rhyme there man

Well im getting bored now, seems nobody's talking to me
Hey watcha looking at man, you get those beady eyes back in your head

Cool

I'm right back in the old days when were young and some say mad
I was superficiusly thinking 'bout the rockin and the boppin  and the dancing and the drinking and the lies we were sold
just trying to make a buck, not having much luck just waitin for the man to come
we were in the right place at the wrong time
man those times were wild

living in the back of a hearse we converted I was sleeping on the top of my amp
fighting of the chicks as we were trying to get to famous  noone wanting what we could so easily provide
remember that dude with the jacket like a drug store passing that stuff around
now in the wrong place at the wrong time
man those times were wild

I can still see you at every date we played dancing   in front of the band 
scooting round the floor  you didnt keep still as you were
catching my eye with the moves that you made
making damn certain I would never notice your face, which somehow I did

Times Were Wild

last Christmas eve it wasn't  raining
but boy oh boy was it cold
last Christmas eve  I was explaining
How your Christmas day would go
the tree was setup in the corner
lights on ready to go
presents were piled up in the corner
and all you wanted was for Santa to show

and you were singing Hallelujah
and singing with all your might
singing Hallelujah
with me, last Christmas eve night

the cat was out in the kitchen 
pacing back and forward on the floor
the dogs as usual were sleeping by the fire
amusing us with their snores

and you were singing Hallelujah
and singing with all your might
singing Hallelujah
with me, last Christmas eve night

and you were singing Hallelujah
and singing with all your might
singing Hallelujah
with me, last Christmas eve night

Last Christmas Eve Night

Lyrics ©2018 Noel Adams, music Alyn James.

Lost and lonely autumn leaves are my only friends tonight
We're tumbling headlong down a road going nowhere
Forgetting once we had  we had a happy life
now all alone, where cold winds blow
Don't we deserve a home?

Deciduous love
Deciduous love
Lives for summer sun
Deciduous love
Deciduous love
Deciduous love Leaves when summer is done

I remember back in springtime
The taste of youth was good
Then summer shone and love grew strong  I was invincible and self-assured
as days got longer and seasons changed 
blue turned grey and 
then came autumn's blade 

Deciduous love
Deciduous love
Lives for summer sun
Deciduous love
Deciduous love
Deciduous love Leaves when summer is done

Maybe one day
I'm hoping one day
that Summer will never ever go away
Deciduous love lives for summer sun
Deciduous love leaves, leaves when summer is done
Always needing that summer sun

Alyn James
