Some Things You'll Never Change (The Spirit Poets) For Dutchbeat

Heartbeats 

I know I’m losing you 
losing you slowly with every heartbeat 
Please stop your fighting now 
I know that it’s hurting with every heartbeat 

You left a mark on me 

I know that this is real love 
Real and complete love 
To the end real love 
As darkness turns to light 
Flames turn to ice now 
I know your’e at peace now 

And if you want to , I will try to reach you my love 
It’s there in the flowers 
Out like a light switch 
No need to cry 
I know that you’re always there

Heartbeats

He was born in the Calton , and raised in the east end of Glasgow 
Near the church of St.Mary’s where many a legend was born
As a bhoy he would kneel at the altar and sing to the heavens 
and bhoy did he sing on the night when the lions did roar

*******************************
And if you know the history 🍀🍀🍀🍀
********************************
A player, a fan 
The leader of the band in the jungle 
C’mon the hoops!
C’mon you bhoys in green! 
He’s clasping his hands singing “family , faith and football”
He twists and he turns , there will only be one Tommy Burns 
********************************
A fan who got lucky 
A man who had fallen from heaven 
He was handed his debut by big Jock in ‘75
Playing under the wing of the lord and the prayers of the faithful 
Who would worship him under the lights of the paradise sky

So in ‘94 a calling once more came to claim him 
Taking the reigns when the faithful were down on their knees 
Facing the rapture he went on to capture more glory 
He lived every fans dream 
devout and with grace ‘till the end

Last Thing At Night (The Spirit Poets)

Breaking 

When the morning comes you will leave me and never return
When the light pours in you will draw your last breath no more suffering 

I’m by your side darling breaking 

Will I ever love anyone the way I love you 
Will it feel the same or just a pale imitation 

Will we ever see each other again 
Will the birds sing songs so sweetly 
Will all the people I love just leave me 
Leave me breaking here on my own 

When the morning comes you will leave me breaking

Breaking

Memphis on my mind 

6500 miles to Tupelo 
6500 miles , it may be more
If the King is in your heart
When the music starts you’re coming home 
Dancing on my toes in Easterhouse
Feeling all shook up,  I have no doubt
When that music plays 
There’s nothing left to say 
I’m coming home

You can draw that family tree from Sligo to Kuwait 
They can call it chance,  I call it fate 
Well if your heart is broken and you’re feeling all alone 
Grab your coat I’m coming to take you home 

Mississippi slim is on the go  
W E L O
With a hillbilly heart ,let’s make a new start 
We’re going home 
Memphis on my mind and in my heart 
Priming up to dance with my sweetheart 
When the band strikes up , I just can’t get enough 
We’re coming home 

I remember as a boy with that tenement soul 
Pink cassette in hand , rock and roll
Love me tender, please be true 
But never step on my blue suede shoes 
Those were halcyon days 
In that rough Glasgow scheme 
Life was tough but a boy can always dream 
Of Memphis Graceland and everything in between 
The sweetest sight that I have never seen
“A little less conversation, a little more action, please
All this aggravation ain't satisfactioning me
A little more bite and a little less bark
A little less fight and a little more spark”

Memphis On My Mind

Breaching Enemy Lines 

Yeah the nights In this town never let you down 
Just a ticking 
Talking to myself 
Coming over this strange sensation ; shaking knees 
Flash your eyes and leave me lost at sea


Oh I’m coming to get you 
Oh I’m breaching enemy lines 
Your’e coming with me girl 
Until the end of the line 

Bouncing down every avenue and boulevard 
Dancing circles under the moonlight 
Vaporise my thoughts and feelings ; sing to me 
Leave your light on for me 
Leave on your light 

I will be with you for the here and after anyway 

Yeah the nights in this town never disappoint
Just a ticking 
Taking to myself

Breaching Enemy Lines

Silence 

The city shines apocalyptic tonight 
An avalanche of grief in a sea of blue lights 
Turning the other cheek, falling into their graves 
Rising like Lazarus to do it again 

A crowd of youths are getting ready to “meet”
There’s an air of violence running down every side street 
Put down your guns 
Thrown down your arms 
No one’s brave enough to sound the alarm 

The deafening silence 
This silence is deep
Been silent for so long we’ve forgotten to speak 
Words like silent raindrops fall 
The silence is deep but the anger is shallow 

The toothless vampires getting ready to bite 
Fuck me man you know what’s wrong and what’s right 
For every Abel there’s another Cain 
Every vow of silence is another bloodstain

Silence

Long way down 

There’s a full moon coming better make my way , I’ll be on my way before the beads come rattling 
The change is coming , I can feel my heart , it’s as weak as plastic and my bones are rattling 

It’s a long way down
It’s a long way down,tonight 

There’s an angry mob baying at my door , howling at the wind, the mood is thick as thunder 
Crying out for blood with their snarling teeth , got the hounds of hell bringing bags of thunder

It’s a long way down
It’s a long way down,tonight 

It’s as dark as tar but the pink is here , I can see sun light like the fist of morning 
Might be in the clear , though the scars are deep , mined like a cave.
The shipwreck of morning 

It’s a long way down
It’s a long way down,tonight

Long Way Down

Flames 

Wind blows right though me 
Bones are like ice 
The army and the navy are mourning you tonight 
We’re like two strangers that have never met in their life 
Your face is familiar in a certain light 
I can’t believe it’s true 
All the years between us 
Wasted on our youth 
When you going to catch a flame tonight 
When you going to let the spark ignite 


Walking down this sad aisle 
Feeling out of place 
Seeing brothers and sisters like a foreign race 
My head is spinning but my heart is fine 
If I look your’e wining 
If I stare your’e mine
I can’t believe it’s true 
All the years between us 
Wasted on our youth 
When you going to catch a flame tonight 
When you going to let the spark ignite 

I give in , I surrender to your cause 
I’m on my knees begging for no recourse 
You’d love that
I can picture the smile on your face 
The victory so sweet , bitter to the  taste 
I’ll fight you to the very end , to the very end 
Defeated , I’ll come after you time and time again
I will never fail 
I will piss upon your grave 
Tear your headstone down 
Break you bone by bone 
Bring Armageddon around 

I will fight you to the end

Make my Christmas dream come true

You can lie on your back with whoever you want 
Get your teenage kicks with whoever you want 
Too hard to comprehend a life without you 
It’s killing my faith , what else can I do 

Sometimes when I think of us in the darkest places it gets too much 
And I can’t think straight anymore          
My judgement is so impaired
I act so strange because I’m so scared 
Of losing you 
Of losing everything 
The harder I try the further I push you away 

How can someone forget the things they’ve not seen 
Visions so real like elliptical dreams 
Too hard to comprehend you without me 
It’s breaking our faith 
What else can I do

Sometimes when I think of us in the darkest places it gets too much 
And I can’t think straight anymore       
My judgement is so impaired
I act so strange because I still care 
I’m losing you 
I’m losing everything 
The harder I try the further I push you away

Elliptical Dreams (Featuring Davy Vance)

We were the young pretenders 
How easy we surrendered

The Young Pretenders

The Morning After 

The morning after, everyone has gone away 
Silence hits you. The sirens are here to stay 
The coldness bites hard walking through the rain 
As the storm clouds gather, dreams are blown away again

The morning after , hallmark cards are on display 
Your guitars hang maudlin , sad notes are easy to play
Standing in your bedroom boarding paper aeroplanes 
The fallen toy soldiers waving goodbye again 

Don’t you be crying 
I will be there when the flowers are all gone 
Alpha - Bravo - Charlie -Delta -Echo….
So drown your sorrows like there’s no tomorrow…or the morning after 
(If tomorrow comes I will let my heart run true 
If tomorrow comes I will live that day for you….not the morning after)

When you got that call it made it all worthwhile ,but you couldn’t attend they kept your name on file.
The job you dreamed of for such a while , such a while.
You practised those letters with all of your heart, determined to make a brand new start 
Even the best plans falls apart, they fall apart.

The Morning After

Answers (More Than Faith)

I need time to process what’s going down 
Give me time , Give me time 
I need space to work through this on my own 
Give me time , Give me space 

Instead of waking up I’m checking out 
Tired of faking it and full of doubt
Like a swan I float effortlessly 
Holding my breath 
In too deep 

The body knows long before the mind 
I feel those early warning signals 
I hope I make it through this time 
Crossing my fingers for that miracle 

I need love more than the lines of a psalm 
Give me love , give me love 
I need patience enough to reset the alarms
Give me love , Give me patience 

Instead of moving on I’m looking back 
I’m losing water 
I’m full of cracks 
Like a swan I float so gracefully 
Diving too deep 
Lost in the sea 

I need answers, more than faith 
More than Faith

Ain’t That True 

I’m not one to share my thoughts with everyone 
I prefer to keep that madness to myself  
Talk about my feelings until I fall apart 
Talk about the nights when you broke every heart 
I was on the outside looking in on you 
A total mass of contradictions ain’t that true  
You could hear those whispers loud as thunderclap 
With every one you died a little and that’s a fact 

I’m not one to think about that history 
Or the way that fate disappointed you and me 
And within your darkness there was such a void 
A juggernaut of nothing, ethereal asteroids 
I will run eternal to your emptiness 
I will drown in your sea of nothing , more or less 
I will nail my colours to your broken mast 
I will support your sails forever and that’s a fact 

Keep your opinions to yourself - they don’t represent me 
Keep your prejudice to yourself - it doesn’t represent me 
Keep your sad thoughts to yourself - they don’t represent me
Keep your darkness to yourself - it doesn’t represent me 

I was on the other side never breaking through 
A total lack of core conviction ain’t that true 
You were making excuses, steadying for attack 
With every word I died a little and that’s a fact
Ain’t that true - you give yourself away 
You give yourself so freely 
I only ever wanted you

Ain’t That True

Suitably unimpressed  

I could bring you cocoa from the straits of Mexico 
Wrap it in ornate paper , sprinkle it with gold 
I would personally deliver,
You know I aim to please ….
But you’re suitably unimpressed with me 

I could bring you diamonds from the mines of Zimbabwe 
The very finest colours with outstanding clarity 
I would dig until I’m broken,
Get down on one knee….
But you’re suitably unimpressed with me 

I could bring you water from the springs of Evian 
15 years filtration through the impluvium  
The perfect PH balance , 
I know you will agree….
But you’re suitably unimpressed with me 

I could bring you flowers from the streets of Amsterdam 
Wrap them up in rolling papers : watch those flowers burn!
We could while away the hours, 
Forever happily….
But you’re suitably unimpressed with me

Suitably Unimpressed

Ghost 

The decision was simple :operate or you die 
Fear in your eyes I’ll always be by your side 
Old friend your’e my rock , your’e my oxygen chamber 
No we’re not giving up , going to back you forever 

This is life and death , I can’t speak any plainer 
You jump on my side at the first sign of danger 
Well I need to confess that I’m nothing without you 
You better get better 
Don’t get any worse 

Spending 5 nights away my mind heard you crying 
In a little straw cage with anxiety rising 
Dear friend you saved me from a futile endeavour 
So we’re not giving up , going to back you forever

Ghost

Diving 

I know your’e hurting 
I can see it in your face 
Those funny lines just deflection 
Your eyes look heavy 
Sinking inside 
Those simple lies just protection 
If you’re gonna dive ,  then I’m diving too…
Into the depths , the darkness of your soul 
I will dive into those depths with you 
Into the fires , the burning in your soul 
I will dive into those fires with you 

I want to help you 
To make everything right 
But those battlescars cut so deeply 
I want to tell you 
It will all work out fine
But every word falls so cheaply
If you’re gonna dive ,  then I’m diving too…
Into the depths , the darkness of your soul 
I will dive into those depths with you 
Into the fires , the burning in your soul 
I will dive into those fires with you 

I know that this light can never be denied  
I know that this light burns you from the inside 
I know that this light will never go away
It will haunt you and crush you each and every sad day

Diving

Was such a subtle shock, that terrorised every thought 
I was just looking away , I barely even knew your name 
As any victim will testify your’e only fooling yourself 
That it could ever be justified to act so strangely compelled 

I can’t give you all that you ask for 
I can’t face this now 
Circumstance is ploughing a lonely furrow 
Loneliness caught me on the blindside 
On my own again 
You’re overtaking me in the inside lane 

In your peculiar ways you made a space for yourself 
I was so over consumed , I could think of nothing else 
A wild obsession in overdrive  , you where in every crack 
No way in hell that I could survive, will never find my way back 

I know this is wrong , this is not in the order of service 
And every thought is making me feel so damm nervous 
In the daylight I will have to go and innocence will know always know the truth…..

Skeletons 


It’s not as if you’ve seen inside my head 
Or know how many ghosts that hide in there 
It’s not as if we need another war 
And what for ?
It’s easier to take the quickest path 
Than wander through the sadness of the past 
It’s not as if we always will be friends 
When did it end ?

You really hurt me 
You should be hurting too
I feel so stupid for trusting you 
How can I lose you 
When I never had you 

It’s not as if I’ve seen inside your head 
Or know how many bodies lie in there 
I know how many skeletons you hide behind those eyes 
It’s easier to cushion every fall 
Than wander through the sadness of it all
It’s not as if we always will be here 
Disappear 

Try to remember the glory days….

A Different Beat 

You keep saying it’s a different beat , a different melody 
Your’e telling me that the rhythms changed but it feels the same to me
You’re out of order and you’re out of luck ; the reckoning is here 
I need some answers and I want them now , the truth won’t disappear 

I know you , I understand every breath that you take 
I still want you, I want to feel every breath that you take 

I’m sick of waking in the dead of night , questioning every thought  
A complex series of alibis ; would never stand up in court 
I’m out of theories and I’m out of grace , I’ll set this fire ablaze
If all Gods children need travelling shoes , we’re travelling tonight 


If all Gods children need travelling shoes , we’re travelling tonight...

A Different Beat

Wherever you are 

Last night I had the strangest thought
I thought about your house and how small it seemed 
I rememberd the times I stayed with you when laughter filled the air
My cousins tears; we were only playing 
It’s been such a long time since I’ve saw your face and that hurts me bad 
I don’t even know what all this this means 
I don’t even know what’s going on in my own life 

I’m holding on.... 
I’m holding on to the hope that you’re happy wherever you are 

Last night I had those covid dreams 
They scare me half to death but you were there 
I saw the way you looked at me , protection overload 
and I felt so small ; so breakable 
It’s been such a long time since I’ve thought of you and that makes me sad 
I don’t even know what all this means but I feel so scared

Wherever You Are

Singer, Songwriter - kind of play every instrument a little but none very well :-/….most of the songs on here are all me ….writing , playing , singing , producing , mixing….its all a minor miracle 🤩
