French Translation - PAS GRANDE SUPRISE
                                                                                                                                                                             She seldom laughs out loud now                   She’s not so very proud now 
Elle ne rit pas souvent maintentant               Elle n’est pas très fière maintentant
Appears so ill at ease                                        So very hard to please  
Semble si mal à l’aise                                        Si difficile à satisfaire                                                                                                                                                                      
Permits herself a smile                                     The shadow of beguile           
S’accorde un sourire	                                      L’ombre d’une séduction                                                                                                                                 

He seldom finds the time now                       To call “that friend of mine” now
Il trouve rarement le temps maintenant      Pour rapeller cet un des mes copaines maintenant
Trapped up in a circus                                      He swims towards the surface 
 Prisonier d’un cirque de farce	                     Il nage vers la surface  
Still struggling for air                                       He’s struggling to care 
Cherchant toujours son souffle	                     Il lui est de s’impliquer

God  knows it’s   - no big surprise   ,    one day to  -    open your eyes
Dieu sais c’est – pas grande surprise, un jour à ouvrir tes yeux
And wonder what you’re seeing,      And wonder where you’ve been
Et démandes toi ce que tu vois         Et demandes toi où tu as été
They know it’s   - no big surprise   ,           one day - to realise 
Ils savent que c’est – pas grande surprise, un jour - à realiser
That everything’s seem strange             and nothing’s really changed…………….
Que tous les choses semble étrange       et rien a vraiment changé
That said -         From time to time -   the tide will turn    - stars will align
Et bien,              de temps en temps - la mare tournera et les étoiles s’alignent
That’s better -   Blue’s in the sky -      The sun will set – guess the sun will rise
Ça c’est mieux – le ciel est bleu -        Le soliel se couchera – et je suppose se levera       
No big surprise--- God knows it’s ----- No big surprise ----- They know it’s --- No big surprise   
Pas grande suprise – Dieu sais c’est pas grande suprise – Ils savent que c’est – Pas grande surprise

No Big Surprise

Sort of classical love song duet with coffee advert type sax break:)         Thank you for listening

Be That It May

A song about rain and memories. The remix version is also on this soundcloud page. 

Faster Than the Rain

Shooting Star

Based on events of a long gone era and how those with a different point of view were treated at the time.


Tar and Feathers

Live version of "Rainbow" recorded at the Loreto Club, Greenock, Scotland, one or two summers ago.....and it was raining : ) 

Rainbow (Live)

Photograph albums seem to be able to hold a memory that is somehow more tangible than their digital equivalent. This song imagines an older women on her favourite chair looking back at pictures from over the years. 

Picture Book

About trying not to complicate or over think things....today it would probably be called "mindfullness" ... although  "carpe diem" says it better :)

For the Moment

For Amy - written when Amy was 3 and first trip to Disneyland - she is now 21 :) xxxx

Time to Time

Disneyland (for Amy)

Sometimes life moves so fast we forget to stop and look -  at all ages. 

Arms of Time

In the days of bare knuckle boxing a line was drawn in sand. If you got knocked over you had ten seconds to get back on your feet and step up to the line.  Guess we all have days like that.  Piano David JW Murray and sax David McDonald. Thanks for listening.

Years to Date

Step Up to the Line

About the Highland Clearances - that still seems relevant today.

Unknown Shore

Highland Amen

..as observed at a nightclub once upon a time....the whistle is as he walks away...hands in pockets...feigning nonchalance. :)

Outside

About what happens after the main event is over
