Awakening - March 2023

For all the introverts...

LYRICS

Hey, I hope you didn't take it the wrong way
When I blanked you in the street last Thursday
I was pretending to check my phone
Because I wanted to be left on my own

And it's not that I don't really like you
I hope that you can understand

I'm not trying to be rude or curt
I'm sorry that your feelings hurt
But man I'm just an introvert
And sometimes it feels like an extrovert's world

I see your number flash as my phone rings
And inside I am silently dying
Why can't you put it down in an email
Or better yet just don't even try me

Because talking on the phone makes me nervous
I wish that it was otherwise

I'm not trying to be rude or curt
I'm sorry that your feelings hurt
But man I'm just an introvert
And sometimes it feels like an extrovert's world

So keep it down in the cheap seats
Can’t you see the Do Not Disturb?
Keep me out of your shit  Tweets
Not everybody needs their voice heard

I'm not trying to be rude or curt
I'm sorry that your feelings hurt
But man I'm just an introvert
And sometimes it feels like an extrovert's world
Sometimes it feels like an extrovert's world
Sometimes it feels like an extrovert's world

Trying to fingerpick.  Just vocals and guitar, nothing else.  Hope you enjoy.

Without this song the bluebirds would be homeless.

****Palaces Of Montezuma**** ( Nick Cave Cover)

Musings on mortality.


I hear that countdown clock ticking
Remaining time is flying by
I'm still alive and kicking
But there are dark clouds in the sky

We thought that we'd be young forever
The sun is always in the sky
Our spirits light as a feather
The rules of life do not apply

Hold on the line
Hold on the lifeline

The best part is behind us
Our race is almost run
Failing bodies remind us
Soon we'll be undone

Hold on the lin
Hold on the lifeline

Hold On The Line

A song about the golden age of steam trains. 
A 4-Star Commended Entry in the 'Adult Contemporary' category of the UK Songwriting Contest 2023.

A train is waiting at the station, waiting to take you for a ride,
All you have to do is buy a ticket, where you're going to you decide,
Electric, diesel, inter-city express  ... and steam,
Electric, diesel, inter-city express  ... and steam,
Long time ago there was the steam age, I just about remember when that was,
Travelling with my mum on a steam train, looking back that now seems very odd,
Electric, diesel, inter-city express  ... and steam,
Electric, diesel, inter-city express  ... and steam,
You may recall the Flying Scotsman, it really was the train you couldn't beat,
Travelling up and down the west coast line, fireman generating steam and heat,
Electric, diesel, inter-city express  ... and steam,
Electric, diesel, inter-city express  ... and steam,
Riding on the Great Western Railway, it must have been quite a thrill,
Travelling through all the valleys, steaming up and down the hills,
Electric, diesel, inter-city express  ... and steam,
Electric, diesel, inter-city express  ... and steam,
They call that the golden age of steam, it's hard to do anything but agree
The trains back then caused much pollution, but they were so magnificent to see,
Electric, diesel, inter-city express  ... and steam,
Electric, diesel, inter-city express  ... and steam,
Now we have the modern trains to go on, buy your ticket on your mobile phone,
All the trains are usually quite fast now, taking people to and from their homes,
Electric, diesel, inter-city express  ... and steam,
Electric, diesel, inter-city express  ... and steam,
A train is waiting at the station, waiting to take you for a ride,
All you have to do is buy a ticket, where you're going to you decide,
Electric, diesel, inter-city express  ... and steam,
Electric, diesel, inter-city express  ... and steam,
Electric, diesel, inter-city express  ... and steam,
Electric, diesel, inter-city express  ... and steam,
Inter-city express, inter-city express.
