Beautiful vintage sensation. Not my genre, but good attitude, seem to be live to me

lovely track to listen to when you're down

Nice ballad . Good beat, guitar, and vocals

Classical song which I like very much, good production work

Could be a Peter and Gordon hit.  Nice feel.  Very 60's.

Love it Andrew, very much in my zone of what i like, great

On Track - Combstead / Robert Grigg

I need this body to remember
a hill of wild flowers 
all speckled in ladybugs
must have been only four or five
the pressure of the sunlight 
was still a surprise to me

I need this body to remember
looking up from a sea into storm clouds 
turning olive not so far above
must have been no more than twelve
thought I’d die when lightning 
streaked down from the skies

I need this body that has been 
in a wet spring forest
just to dawdle in the smell of your hair
to have seen a spiderweb airborne
for the netting around our eyes to feel fair

and I need this creaky body
just to sway next to yours now, now
your closeness is the slow poison 
my body can’t do without

those with a body now sway 
to the samba rhythm
for bodies to sway

those with a body now swing
to the samba rhythm
for bodies to swing
to the samba

I need this body that has climbed cherry trees
just to have a funny old laugh with you
a lovers’ quarrel under a leaky roof
some truth like a snake outgrowing its skin

this body has pierced through enough nights now
to have its own little imagination going
and it sometimes catches a story
rising like a choir’s voice over the din

and it still has this urge
to sway next to yours now, now
your touch is the final proof
of a body we can’t do without

those with a body now sway
to the samba rhythm
for bodies that sway

those with a body now swing
to the samba rhythm
for bodies that swing
to the samba

those with a body now swing
to the samba rhythm
for bodies to swing

those with a body now dance
to the samba rhythm
for bodies to dance
while you’ve got one
while you’ve got one
while you’ve got one

those with a body now sway

LYRICS

The dry leaves float upon the breeze.
The hidden corners of the trees.
The summer sun that penetrates.
A gloom that holds you all prostrate.

Chorus
Miss out as the championship.
Slips between your fingertips.
Come so close but yet so far.
You had it all but no cigar. 

A glistening pool just out if reach. 
The heat that has the people beat.
The endless March towards your fate.
The white rabbit is running late. 

A stopped clock isnt always wrong.
no matter where that time has gone.
A friend is still the same as then.
The wind that blew will blow again.

A door that you had punched in rage.
Your scattered drawings on the page. 
The honeysuckle wrapped around
A wall you ha built to keep them out. 

You had it all and messed it up.
The judge is throwing you the book.
The lie you tried to propagate
Was not believed at any rate. 

Covering your tracks.
Falling in a trap. 





A Trap (No Cigar)

Tried to modernize an old song of mine.  Wound up sounding like emo eighties disco music, which made me exstatically happy.  After dancing around my apartment for days under my 99cent disco ball , I finally decided to make some potatoes.  Because Potatoes saved the Irish from famine.  And me playing my 99 dollar bass has saved me from Salmon.  Now I am completely satisfied with 99 cent tuna.

Behind The Palace Walls

Until You're With Me

Everything

Capitano

My name’s not in the papers — just the soot on Baker Street
I forged the blades for Empire, now I forge the devil’s teeth
The hounds, they howl by moonlight, but I’ve heard worse from men
Steel don’t lie when folded right — unlike that ink-stained pen

⸻

Sherlock’s up in smoke rings, tracing clues on chimney walls
While I hammer out my secrets where the gaslight never falls
He solves the crimes of gentlemen — I bury those of kings
Behind the livery stables, where the furnace sometimes sings

⸻

Strike the bellows! Pour the flame!
Truth is tempered, forged in shame
What he finds in fog and books
I beat from blood, with fire and hooks
There’s no deduction quite like pain…
Just the hammer and the chain
Hammer and the chain

⸻

“There are more things in Whitechapel than reason dreams of, Mr. Holmes…”


He’s got his trusty Watson — I’ve got scars and molten brass
He sees the game afoot, I see the world through furnace glass
The professor pulls the strings — but I once shod his mare
I nailed the shoes of Moriarty, and he paid me not to care

⸻

Strike the bellows! Let it roar!
Truth is forged on factory floor
Smoke and lies, they look the same
But I know fire, I know flame
He’s the mind, I am the bane…
The hammer and the chain

⸻

“If deduction is his weapon,
Then mine shall be disdain…
For even Holmes can’t solve
What’s buried in the grain.”

I Be Still Thinkin'

Ashes to Ashes

Simon's Song

Oh my Love!
Oh my love, why do you cry for me my love
and all that I want is here
haven't I made it clear?
now and then oh I get the feeling that you pretend
your happy when you are sad
hurt and feeling so bad

and why must you try so hard?
why haven't you learnt so far?

When we've been through some bad times
lived all the lonely nights
so how come your feeling this way?
and we'll be here together
forever by your side
now listen to all that I say

Times not real, with you in my arms
and I can't conceal, these feelings I have are so right
so Darling dry those eyes!

For you know that I cared from the start
and I give nothing less than my heart

And we've been through the bad times
lived all the lonely nights
so how come your feeling this way
and we'll be here together
forever by your side
now listen to all that I say

Oh my love, why do you cry for me my love
when everything you need is here
haven't I made it clear?

Oh My Love!

i dont feel okay, i ve got people telling me what to think
i w ont change my ways, until now i ve been able to feed myself
i w ont give them a pay, they re trying to take our lives away
they need you afraid, coz they wanna make way in your brain

everybodys here, but nobody s there
everyone knows but no one shows
everybody stares, but no one dares
and now you want a place upstairs

Right here!! its time for us to stand up for our rights
Right here!! we re not the first, and we re not the last
c ant you feel, the ground shaking under your feets
feel, everything around you is moving now

Now i want to say, people need to change their ways
if you dont wanna prey, then do something good anyway
work work everyday, you ve gotta shoot somebody to make your way
rain rain go away now, new little humans want to play 

everybodys here, but nobody s there
everyone knows but no one shows
everybody stares, but no one dares
and now you want a place upstairs

Right here!! its time for us to stand up for our rights
Right here!! we re not the first, and we re not the last
c ant you feel, the ground shaking under your feets
feel, everything around you is moving now
