If you so happen to like this, please please give me a like.  

The only thing from the original recording is the vocal, me in 2002.  I've kept the original vocal because I like how I stylised it, though I'm not entirely sure what I was aiming for there, most likely trying to sound like someone - though I can't remember who! 

It's got the benefits of being a voice about 19/20 years younger than the present one!  I'm by no means fallen to pieces, but have a notably different voice at 42 to the one I had at 22! I did try to re record a little piece of the vocal, just a couple of words, won't say which bit, only because it was a lyric I didn't love, but that sadly made the voice difference over 20 years glaringly obvious, because of which I've left the vocal as it was. 

Lyrics

You always tell me that I'm looking fine
I know you know I've got things on my mind
I know I've been lost and, in the freeze,
Been beaten down, the bruises only I can see!

I feel the cold wind cut close to the bone
At times when I feel like I’m on my own
But no, I ‘m still me 
I’m still me!

Just need a little recovery
Try and be the way I used to be
And see the things I used to see
A smile on my face
But smiles can be misplaced
In time, can be erased
But mine will be replaced
Will be replaced!

You exorcize the things that haunt my soul
Can leap through fire when I’m not alone
But no I'm not brave
My life's another slay
Inner punches by my fist alone
Struggles twine themselves around my throat
But no I'm still me
I’m still me!

Just need a little recovery
Try and be the way I used to be
And see the things I used to see
A smile on my face
But smiles can be misplaced
In time, can be erased
But mine will be replaced
Will be replaced!

Sometimes I feel like there’s just no way out
Feel like my body’s knocked into the ground
I know I seem to have lost all control
My frail image might have lost it’s soul

But I know, still, I won’t go! 

Just need a little recovery
Try and be the way I used to be
And see the things I used to see
A smile on my face
But smiles can be misplaced
In time, can be erased
But mine will be replaced
Will be replaced!

Written just after the sad news of Sinead O’Conners death, but really a serenade for all the broken, scarred individuals in this world.

Scars

Remember the Days

We met in a dancehall when we were just teens 
You were the sweetest girl I’d ever seen 
You danced round your handbag with your closest friend 
And I walked you home when the night had to end 

Remember the days the days gone by 
When our hearts were strong and our hopes were high 
When we go to town now little remains 
But my love for you remains unchanged

Well they pulled down that dancehall where we used to meet 
They pulled down the town hall and even my old street 
My old school building was razed to the floor 
The places we loved then ain’t here anymore 

Remember the days the days gone by 
When our hearts were strong and our hopes were high 
When we go to town little remains 
But my love for you has never changed 

Looking back to the days of the penny arcade 
The laughs that we had the dreams that we made
We dolled off from college just to get there 
Seems life was so easy then without a care

Remember the days the days gone by 
When our hearts were strong and our hopes were high 
We go into town little remains 
But my love for you has never changed 

Well I know that it’s progress and we must move on
But so much we loved then is forever gone
Seems nothing is sacred and time moves so fast 
But time can’t erase memories of the past 

Remember the days the days gone by 
When our hearts were strong and our hopes were high 
When we go to town now little remains 
But my love for you has never changed 

There used to be shipyards, and glassworks and mines 
The breweries, a ropery and bright tramcar lines
A huge leisure centre with queues all around 
They’ve forever changed the face of this town 

Remember the days the days gone by 
When our hearts were strong and our hopes were high 
When we go to town now little remains 
But my love for has never changed
