Fabulous storyteller with soothing vocal. Beautiful.

interesting distortion in the part around 2:10

Lovely pure voice and fine lyrics. I like the bravery in allowing the vocal to carry almost the whole song.

Ghosts In Turin

You pull my strings
Try to make me dance
But I’ve got moves
That you can’t understand

You wave your hand
Expect me to nod
But I’m not playing
Don’t walk in this mode
(No, no, no…)

You’re my puppet
(You’re, you’re) You’re my puppet

I’m not your puppet
(You’re my puppet)
Neither your pet
(My puppet)
I ain’t got no strings
(You’re my puppet)
I’ve my own feelings
(No, no, no… No, no, no…)

You think I’m here
To follow your plan
But I’ve no fear
I’ll walk on my own

You’re my popup
(You’re, you’re) You’re my puppet

I’m not your puppet
(You’re my puppet)
Neither your pet
(My puppet)
I ain’t got no strings
(You’re my puppet)
I’ve my own feelings

(Repeat)

(No, no, no… No, no, no…)

LYRICS

Chucking away.
The time you thought you'd saved up.
Just a lot of descents. 
You're putting off your makeup.
Till they've had their say.
Now you are feeling lonely.
The world turning grey.
They all get a say. 

Can't save it all.
Throw it all away.
Stop saving up for a rainy day. 

The unwritten page.
Your future feeding slowly.
Solely displayed.
So you feel haunted ghostly.
A blanket of rage.
A warming cloth of kindness.
A look of dismay.
A feeling obeyed.

Can't save a thing.
Not a piece of cake.
It's never yours, it just goes to waste.

Can't waste a thing.
As it slips away.
No point in waiting for a chosen day.

Next thing you know.
You've got a ways to go.
But you cannot know.
If you will get a go.
Time can go slow,
But also run away from.
And quickly fade.
A sudden shade.

Can't save it all.
Throw it all away.
Stop saving up for a rainy day. 





You Can't Take It With You [2024 Remaster]

There was a time when I liked the mean streets.
Alcohol, the drugs, the pizzas.
Feeling I was getting somewhere fast.

But, all them times they were too risky
All them people nowt but piskies.
Nothing in that world is built to last.

Though alcohol stirred my emotion.
Held me back from true devotion.
Holds you back from any given task.

Kids they change things.
Life is savage.
All you wanted was no baggage.
Something has to give. 
It's really this or that.

The causes that you thought important.
Melt away with holy portents.
Honey drizzled, cold war, dazzled hearts.

And all the naying, saying, lovers.
Soft, warm legs underneath covers.
Couldn't help me now. 
That we're apart.

Your sky will never fill my pages.
Barely heard of all your sages.
Take a look for me.
Before we start.

Oh, up and down, and far below.
It's all the same to me, you know.
The portrait of an artist. 
Giving away all his art.

Oh, I'll...
Say it, then.
I shall never play the Dane.
I shall never play the Dane.
Because I'm old.
oh, I'll...
Say it again.
I shall never play the Dane.
I shall never play the Dane.
Because I'm old.

We send the kids to school for learning.
Half an eye on future earnings.
Whatever will now become of me?

A spent and used up commissary.
Delivered on time just barely.
Why'd you give me sight.
If I can't ever hope to see?

Your machinations drove me crazy.
Doubled up. 
Accused of lazy.
Trapped by lack of sleep that I can't beat.

Who cares to dance? 
When all above.
The puppet masters strings are cut.
Here I am sitting. 
Won't you go and dance for me?

Oh, I'll...
Say it, then.
I shall never play the Dane.
I shall never play the Dane.
Cause I am old.
Yeah, I'll...
Say it again.
I shall never play the Dane.
I shall never play the Dane.
I'm just too old.

Their covid left me blurry, weary.
I was not like all the teary.
Pan bang, sap eyed, abide, pleasant chaps.

And all you worry wort, dag naggers.
In cahoots with the flag shaggers.
Ruined all my feelings toward the past

Your rules were made to be heartbroken.
Everything is bought with tokens.
How'd we get our foot off of the gas?

Money comes to cause it's mischief.
Always rooted for the sneak theif.
Boffins kinda gave me creeps.
Never gave me laughs.

I've no concerns about your Facebook.
Crushed the car.
But kept the log book.
Hushed. Momento mori. Fancy free.

You over-ruled me nationally.
Watched my family dilly dally.
Sleeping. Creeping. 
Further out from me.

Your anodyne, pontificating,
deals you are making with Satan.
How I wish you'd try to let it...
Let it wander free.

They rubber stamped your reliquary 
Fuck the rich, man.
They are lairy.
In the end.
Well, there... 
There is only me.

Fire And Smoke - Alternative

A heartfelt song of heartbreak and lost love. Performed live at The Oxford Poetry Circle on 30.10.24, the song explores what happens when two people in love grow apart and change as individuals - sometimes irreversibly

Forever And A Day (Live) - John Goldrust

Why is that tree grow up slowly?
It makes me sick. A bit angry.
What have I done of this Sunday?
Nothing real good came out of me

The ants are growing inside my brain
The wasp is bumping on my stomach
Clouds everywhere over my head
I must go out and reach the sun

I was buried a whole day long
Digging tunnels using my tongue
What have I done of this Sunday?
Nothing real good came out of me

The ants are growing inside my brain
The wasp is bumping on my stomach
Clouds everywhere over my head
I must go out and reach the sun

I am stuck in this state of mind
I was in there that past July
Why is that tree grow up slowly?
It makes me sick. A bit angry.

The ants are growing inside my brain
The wasp is bumping on my stomach
Clouds everywhere over my head
I must go out and reach the sun

I am so sick of all this filth
A rash on my flesh with roots so deep
This willow tree obsesses me
I must go out 

The ants are growing inside my brain
The wasp is bumping on my stomach
Clouds everywhere over my head
I must go out and reach the sun

That Past July

SILKTEETH

Lyrics Video: https://youtu.be/HNdnTTtcBeA

ooh-oooh-oooh oooh
ooh-oooh-oooh oooh

you will break out
of the house where the people and toys
and even the walls know your name

you will stake out
a new claim on an old and abandoned mine
all collapsed and decayed

then you’ll wait for your plot to start twisting
plant seeds in the rot
trust your system

but a movie is not how we roll
we just hang from the cliff,
never get back control

this world is so much smaller
than the movies would have you believe
and love—so much more of a mess
than the movies would have you believe

your talents—
they're worth so much less
than the movies would have you believe

you’ll need to grow much taller
than the movies would have you believe

there’s no payoff—
what you think you deserve will be gone in a blink
with the surf in an ocean of rain

you can’t stay off—
there’s no armor or charm or a prayer
or a spell that can spare you the pain

no plot when the years start twisting 
and seeds grown in the rot
look to you for some wisdom

when you take on the voice of the pilot
will you color their skies in blue or in violet?

this world is so much smaller
than you think
so much more fragile
and a lot more insane

ooh-oooh-oooh oooh
ooh-oooh-oooh oooh

this world
has more superpower
than the movies would have you believe

and love—
so much more of a test
than the movies would have you believe

dreams—
worth so much less
than the movies would have you believe

you’ll taste a lot more that is sour 
and even more that is sweeter
than any old movie would have you believe
