A tale of misplaced desire:
FOLLOW YOU   (words & music by Andy Smith October 2023)

Been down so long, then you appear
A bundle of fun, with a voice so clear
Singing it fast, singing it slow
Swinging your hips to and fro

Hit me once, hit me twice
Take me all the way to Paradise
Say you will, say you won’t
Say anything that you want but, don’t say ‘don’t’

I could follow you to the ends of the earth
I just wanna show you….….what I’m worth

You say you’re not with him, driving me insane
Subliminal messages fuckin’ with my brain
Build me up, let me down
Take me across the tracks to the dark side of town

I’m burning up, my heart’s on fire
Fan the flames of misplaced desire
Am I right, am I wrong?
Maybe I’ll never know but my love is oh so strong

I could follow you until the end of time
I will never rest until…...you are mine

Follow You

My last album of original songs recorded with the help of John Watkins who played most of the lead guitar and keyboard parts. I'm playing just about everything else except drums and saxophone on 'My Turn Now' which were provided by Howard Facey and Paul Bristow respectively.

08 Time For Changes

Here's my attempt at writing a song in the style of The Rutles as a tribute to the late great Neil Innes. I'm sure you'll recognise the Beatles song it is based on, as well as a few lyrical references to several other Beatles songs.

FREE PRESCRIPTIONS ROCK  (words & music by Andy Smith)
Growing old ain't much fun, but I suppose
It's better than dying young, and curling up your toes
One thing that I've found, and I'm grateful for
Now I get  my drugs for free delivered to my door

Yes, free prescriptions rock
Totally F.O.C.
Free prescriptions rock
For all my remedies

I got so many aches and pains, my blood pressure's high
Cholesterol levels are reaching to the sky
I've got my Amlodipine and Atorvastatin
Mustn't forget my Ramipril, all washed down with gin

Free prescriptions rock
Totally F.O.C.
Free prescriptions rock
For all my maladies

Went to bed late last night, past 12 'o' clock
The young lady by my side had taken all I've got
Woke up again this morning feeling a little stiff
Seems that my Viagra had reached all the wrong bits

Yes, free prescriptions rock
Totally F.O.C.
Free prescriptions rock
For all your remedies
