A tongue-in-cheek song with a sixties-style guitar riff about punching high and not giving up. It brings out the grit like a dog chasing a tyre.

Lyrics: 
I'm gonna give you a run for your money 
You've got the talent and fame, I've got the fear and shame 
I'm working hard all day. Don't you notice? 
I won't give you a clue

Devoted to the mighty underdog
With my blinkers on, I’m looking at the line 
Devoted to the mighty underdog
And I can keep up as long as I stay behind 
Devoted to the mighty underdog
Mighty underdog

Up on your pedestal so high 
Watch out, you might fall when you least expect 
I'm the underdog always
But what if I win? 

Devoted to the mighty underdog
With my blinkers on, I’m looking at the line 
Devoted to the mighty underdog
And I can keep up as long as I stay behind 
Devoted to the mighty underdog
Mighty underdog 

I’m gonna give you a run for your money 
I’ve caught up to you, yes, I've caught up to you 
Is that what are friends for?

Give You a Run

A happy-go-lucky song with a touch of melancholy for the end of a night, a year or even an imagined musical career.


Lyrics
Hit that chord
Let it go
It's nearly time to end the show
There's a hush in the room
And sweat on our brows
Everyone's here sharing the moment now

Before the music stops, before we move on
Whether right or wrong, we end in the middle
Oh, things will get broke (for sure) but all for a good cause 
It’s the music we love so let’s play it one more time 

I hear the last drinks call 
The race is on 
To fill your cup with one last dram 
We're too new for an encore 
So before we pack up
We gotta get down, get down some more  

Before the music stops, before we move on
We’ve been waiting in line, measuring time while we rhyme
Oh, things got broke for sure
Our lonely hearts
It’s the music we love so let’s play it one more time

Before the Music Stops

Before the Music Stops (Official)

'Wanted the World' is a laid back indie rock song about leaving home, travelling, and finding love. Written before COVID, it harks back to a simpler time when borders were open, travel was easy, but the distance between family and friends still very real.

Lyrics

I wanted the world
Knew so little of it
So I went on my way
️To find out more about it
Drove the great ocean
️Saw the red arches of Japan...️toori
️Flew over the grand canyon
Learning as I went

I was young and naive
Didn't look before I leapt
Like a frog on a ️lily pad
I didn't stick around
Didn't stick around

Now I'm living in DC
With my wife and baby-to-be
Fortunate and free
But a million miles from family
I call my family once a week, ️on the video
Their letters take me home
But they can only take me ️so far
Won't move this world

Now I'm older and I realise
That I can't have it all
Only what's here right now
The rest won't stick around
Won't stick around

Truth is I didn't want the world
As much as I wanted a girl
For someone who would love me
I travelled across the world
It's getting late now
About time to sign the check
So if you'll still have me, baby
I'll take you home with me

Now I'm older and I realise
That I can't have it all
Not even you, baby
I'm glad you stick around
Glad you stick around
