@user-138663860: thanks for your enthusiasm - much appreciated!

brilliant creativity, there's a theatrical tone to your work that is just delightful, you sing with emotionlike you mean it and that is noticed by the listener.

A classic touch to the music, & I love the irony

Great playfulness and I dig the jazzy guitar riffs throughout. A tale well told Christian. Very entertaining. Durge

I’ve got my work cut out with you
Your fitted shirts, and your patent leather shoes
A choice of cars to drop your kids at school
You’ve got it
I want it too
 
I’ll find you drinking at the bar
You’ll tell me all about your personal par
Then late at night I’ll walk you home, sweet home
You’ve got it
I want that too

The wheel of fortune just keeps spinning on and on
Where it stops no-body knows
Your run of luck just bounced right off the table
You had it 
I’ve got it now

We’ll go inside for one last drink
I’ll fix your nightcap while you take a leak
And when you wake up you’ll be six feet deep
You had it
I’ve got it now

You thought the world belonged to you
Well now you know it was yours to lose
I was just waiting in the wings out there
You had it
I’ve got it now
 
You shouldn’t feel too bad about yourself
I quite admire your nerve
If I had been the one who had it all
I’m sure, you would have got to me first

The wheel of fortune just keeps spinning on and on
Where it stops no-body knows
Your run of luck just bounced right off the table
You had it 
I’ve got it
You blew it 
I won it
You lost it
I’ve got it now

And when you curse the day we met back then
And think about your life
Console yourself with this one last thought
It’s me, that’s sleeping with your wife

You had it 
I’ve got it
You blew it

You've got it, I want it

I'm putting up new original material on my Spotify channel https://open.spotify.com/artist/2PtcG937rHfQWJwv0Zi4um?si=t1ppLngORgmuqz9qeoDOzw 
Mostly original tracks, a few covers here and there. Thank you for even getting this far. Thoughts, opinions, suggestions all welcome. It's pretty lonely out here toiling over every sound wave and grubby plugin. Any feedback is appreciated and if you've got a track you want me to hear send it over - what comes around goes around etc. A huge shout out to Len Rice for all his production suggestions on this and other tracks of mine - a true expert, check him out https://soundcloud.com/lenrice
One day I hope to get some collaborations going and a far off dream is to re awaken all these tracks in a live environment with a live band and maybe even a live audience. For now the dream keeps me going. Thanks for listening.

I'm trying to use as much real instrumentation as possible: a Taylor and a Norman acoustic guitars, a Fender Strat Roadhouse that goes out of tune if I even look at it, a cheap Vintage mandolin that hurts to play and listen to, an 80 year old zither banjo that screams 'I was never destined for this' and a borrowed Aria Pro II bass that a friend can never be bothered to take home on the bus. Synths are a plasticky Roland FA06 and a fun but dumb Korg minilogue. Throw in some Native Instruments software primarily for smoochy piano and strings, a £15 melodica full of tramp spit, some harps in impossible tunings, and a box of percussion and assorted prehistoric flints (are you really still reading this??). 

All recorded on Logic Pro X on an ancient iMac that is going to explode any minute and take my entire oeuvre with it. And most likely burn the house down.
