V1
Something happened in the dead of night
Crash of thunder and a flash of light
In the morning, cold and all alone
Your frozen to the bone
People look through you like you’re not there
Unaware at all
Scream and shout but no-one turns to stare
The truth, it slowly dawns
Ch1
Don’t You Know
You’re the lonely ghost, abandoned soul, an empty host
Existing in between their lives
Not really there at all
Just a shadow on their wall
V2
Flying high you take a look below
See them running, running to and fro
Chasing dreams of happiness to hold
And chasing dreams of love
Stagger on you know you’re barely there
Reaching, grasping on
Fading fast you must leave before
The day will see you gone
Ch2
Don’t You Know
You’re the lonely ghost, abandoned soul, an empty host
Existing in between their lives
Not really there at all
Just a shadow on their wall
A shadow on the wall

The List Goes On And On...?

LES GENS S’ENGUEULENT ON SAIT PAS POURQUOI MAIS
LES GENS S’ENGUEULENT
LES GENS S’ENGUEULENT ILS SAVENT PAS POURQUOI MAIS
LES GENS S’ENGUEULENT

DES NOMS D’OISEAUX DES MOTS DE TROP ET DES GROS MOTS
POUR TROIS FOIS RIEN DU MOMENT QUE ÇA FAIT DU BIEN 
DE FAIRE DU MAL UN ANIMAL 
DEUX ANIMAUX

AVEC MA POULE C’EST UNE AFFAIRE QUI ROULE MAIS
DÈS QU’ON S’ENGUEULE
Y’ A TOUT QUI S’ÉCROULE EN SUCETTE EN SEMOULE OUAIS
TEL UN CRUMBLE

QU’EST-CE QUE T’AS DIT RÉPÈTE UN PEU J’VAIS TOUT CASSER
TU M’FAIS PAS PEUR D’ABORD C’EST TOI QU’A COMMENCÉ
ON A L’AIR FIN AH OUAIS ON A L’AIR BEAU À VOIR
DÉFIGURÉS LA BOUCHE ROUGE ET LES YEUX NOIRS OH

LES GENS S’ENGUEULENT ET QUAND ILS EN ONT ASSEZ
DE S’ENGUEULER
CHACUN SINGLE VA SE FAIRE VOIR DE SON CÔTÉ
POUR FAIRE LA GUEULE

DES LIONS DES MOUSTIQUES DES LYCAONS DES TIQUES
DES CHIENS QUI ABOIENT ET DES CHATTES HYSTÉRIQUES
VIOLENCES DOMESTIQUES QUI S’Y FROTTE S’Y PIQUE
DANSER LE TWIST ET LA SAMBA SUR UN FIL ÉLECTRIQUE

LES GENS S’ENGUEULENT

LES GENS S'ENGUEULENT - cats & dogs (Lyrics)

Pulling together strands of tenor saxophone and synth. with jazz bass elements and sporadic percussion hits. Tracks were all improvised but came together OK and sound vaguely arranged (in my head).
[Nothing to do with the TV drama 'Threads' where nuclear attack destroys my home city!]

All my life
I've tried to hide
All my pain
Held inside

Teardrops well
Emotions rise
Fall like rain
From my eyes

Been so long
Since I cried
I'm set free
I've said goodbye

Fall Like Rain

Old tune from 2014. Wrote it while driving 6000 miles alone across the country, taking time lapse photos of the milky way and some landscapes in the day while living out of a tent. A whiskey and guitar were always in hand.


Whole Wild World

I've been beat up
I've been bruised
Wasn't born to lose
I've been on the run for way too long

I need a partner in crime
Someone to keep me in line
A beautiful muse for my next song

--Harmonica

Maybe I'll find her in the mountains
Where the water flows free
Wonder if she's even ready for me
With my guitar by my side
And a bottle of rye
What's the future supposed to be?

--Chorus
I will search around this whole wild world for you

I've spent most of my years defeated in love
I've failed too many times to speak of
It's just so hard to forget
I don't have one regret
This emptiness fits my soul like a glove

--Chorus x 2
--Harmonic again!
--Chorus x 2

Wander

There ain’t nothing I can say
To take the pain away
Some things you got to do yourself
When your over you head
Just want to lay in bed
Get up and get the hell out

There ain’t no use feeling sorry for yourself
The sooner you realise it’s not going to help
Your one step closer yeah
To the age of oblivion

And you know you want it
Ah don’t you child 
Mmm don’t you child

When things get a little crazy
And your world starts falling apart
Maybe it’s a sign a sign for you
You’re ready for a brand new start

Your opportunity is here
Reach out and take it 
Have no fear
You’re one step closer yeah 
To the age of reason

And you know you want 
Ahh don’t you child
Child of illusion

solo

Here we go here we go my friend
Hey yeah yeah
One more time around the bend

Tell me again how sweet
How sweet it is
How you rock and how you roll

There ain’t nothing I can say 
Makes any difference anyway
Got to dig deep into your soul

There ain’t no use feeling sorry for yourself
The sooner you realise it’s not going to help
Your one step closer now
To the age of enlightenment

And you know you want it
Ahh don’t you child
Yeah you know you want it
Ahh don’t you child
Child of illusion
Ahh don’t you child
Child of illusion
