Can't listen to Frans Beelaard without somethin' inside wantin' to get OUT !
Hard to Describe listening to  his " Cryin Blues <"  just cried it out as it arrived. Still confused and have no idea WHOM I'm singing TO? Thus..." who ARE you ?!"    Well, "you" are some phantom out there that comes to haunt the heart...then leaves again? (oh, me and my titles; Try that for one Frans! "Haunting the Heart ?". and WHO would believe this girl actually "loved you?" She's so so confused...blame it on the wine, this was the Take One, and the Only Take... Take it for what "she" thinks it is ? Extremely, ah. confused !

Broken Bridges

Too clever to seize fame
You’ll never believe shame
Forever you freeze frame
Broken bridges

Don’t try to stake claim
Wise guy, you take aim
Goodbye forsake blame
Broken bridges

You may point to fractured beams
Disjointed manufactured schemes
Those that belong declare their plans
Can anyone repair the spans of broken bridges?

Just don’t police friends
They’ll break the peace when
You won’t release them 
Broken bridges

Guest musician: Steve Pumphrey - slide guitar solo

This was born in the febrile atmosphere of self-isolation.

When I was little
I ran through the grass
Got chased by a lion
But I bit it on the arse
I must have been in my pram with Nunky
Safe with Nunky

L'il Boy!
Are yer safe with Mother, safe with Nunky?
You better run, you better hide!
Li'l Boy!

Run from The City
Run from The City
Run from The City

Give it back to Mother
Give it back to Mother
Give it back to Mother
Now

everything fades to grey
since you're gone
my silent film tries to go on
since you're gone
i got no clue where i belong
since you're gone
i am a figurine, a wounded toon
i slowly fade to grey

i lose myself in my cocoon
i slowly fade to grey
i gotta get out of here soon

i feel like losing my mind
since you're gone
the doctor says "those pills are fine
don't waste your time, get a move on!"
i gotta get away
before i'm lost in grey

i lose myself in my cocoon
i slowly fade to grey
i gotta get out of here soon

i hide myself in grey
i lose myself in my cocoon
i slowly fade to grey
i gotta get out of here soon
i slowly fade to grey
i feel like losing my mind
since you're gone
i gotta get away
