Started with a bluesy little riff and ended up a footstompting barnstormer.  A bit T-Rexy, a bit Suzy Quatro.

Lyrics,

[Intro] 

No Vocals, Just Instrumental 

[Verse 1] 

It started on Monday, yeah a Monday like every week does,
It lasted until a Sunday, SUNDAY!
It always ends where it starts, you should know when it’s time to pull your finger out, yeah pull it out!
You already did the hard bit but when you’re gonna ask her to marry you, ooh marry you!
Are you gonna keep her waiting!! Waiting!

[Pre-Chorus] 

Or if you’re happy, then you’re happy,
You have two children now,
I’m sure they want mummy and daddy to get married, ooh married!
I know marriage isn’t everything, everything,
But you gotta be careful, careful!

[Chorus] 

Ooh you might be heading for a collision course,
Yeah a collision course!
Ooh you better sort it out! Sort it out!
It’s not lookin good, ooh no no no,
It’s not lookin good!
What did I tell ya? If you don’t change,
You’re heading for a collision course!

[Verse 2] 

It happened again on a Tuesday, yeah a Tuesday like clocks spin,
It rolled right through to a Friday, FRIDAY!
You’re stuck in this loop, gotta break it, time to step up and show your heart, yeah show your heart!
The ring’s burning a hole in your pocket, so when you gonna make her your world, ooh your world!
Are you gonna let it slip away!! Away!

[Pre-Chorus]

if you’re happy, then you’re happy,
You have two children now,
I’m sure they want mummy and daddy to get married, ooh married!
I know marriage isn’t everything, everything,
But you gotta be careful, careful!

[Chorus] 

Ooh you might be heading for a collision course,
Yeah a collision course!
Ooh you better sort it out! Sort it out!
It’s not lookin good, ooh no no no,
It’s not lookin good!
What did I tell ya? If you don’t change,
You’re heading for a collision course!

[Bridge] 

What if you wait too long, too long?
The fire could fade, the chance is gone,
Kids are watching, time’s not stopping,
Don’t let doubt keep you from promising, promising!

[Final Chorus] 

Ooh You might be heading for a collision course,
Yeah a collision course!
Ooh you better sort it out! Sort it out!
It’s not lookin good, ooh no no no,
It’s not lookin good!
What did I tell ya? If you don’t change,
You’re heading for a collision course!

[Outro] 

Collision course, ooh no no no,
Collision course, sort it out!
You’re heading for a collision course,
Yeah a collision course!

[End]

COLLISION COURSE


You are the best worst thing I've ever had in my life...
Those long leg stockings cut me...
like a knife...
You're just as hot as you can be...
girl... you’re eggin’ me on...
Smilin’ like trouble...
and you got it all goin' on...


dancin’ on the hardwood, lights the fire in me,
I’d be the best worst thing... 
you’ve ever seen me be...
Because those long leg stockings... yeah they turn me on...
And you wear ’em like a bad girl playin’ my song.


Hey girl...
I love your stockings and the way that you move...
Rolling so smoothly...
such a sweet little groove.
I can’t look away... 
no I don’t even try...
With every little hip wag...
your moves get me high...


dancin’ with you on the hardwood...
lights the fire in me...
I’d be the best worst thing you’ve ever seen me be...
Because those long leg stockings, yeah they turn me on...
And you wear ’em like a bad girl playin’ my song...


You’re trouble in heels... and your cowboy boots.... but I can’t say no...
Every step, every sway, takes me where I shouldn’t go...
But I’m gone...
yeah I’m gone...
lost in your sway...
The best worst thing I’ll never chase away...


Dancin’ on the hardwood... 
girl you set me free...
I’d be the best worst thing you’ve ever seen me be....
Because those long leg stockings, yeah they shine like the moon...
And you’re the best worst thing that I’ll be lovin’ on... lovin' on... soon... hahahaha... come on stockings... Just give up... give up....give up... I'm swaying your way... hey hey....

previous prey

Even those who think they are pure of heart can injure others. A story of love lost and subtle revenge. Sadly, oftentimes, others are caught up in the struggle.

Lyrics:
I remember. (Yeah yeah)
I remember (that day)
The day I first saw you
with your arm draped over her
You flew away … her in your arms
like a hawk with precious prey
I remember. (Yeah yeah)

The sky was on fire
The world ablaze
You flew away …  her in your arms
A hawk with precious prey
I remember. (Yeah yeah)

I’m an ill-equipped human 
Crying to find my way
In a world void of heart
Overflowing with beauty 
And callous cruelty, 
The sky is on fire (yeah. Yeah) 
I wonder how empty a soul must be
To harm anyone (anyone)
Until I remember that I hurt you
I once hurt you (I remember)

I remember (yeah) 
I hurt you.

I remember. (Yeah yeah)
I remember (that day)
I saw you again
Dressed in black 
smirk on your face
I remember (precious prey)
Your drunk laugh, 
As You flew away … her in your arms
a hawk with precious prey
I remember. (Your laugh)
I remember (yeah yeah) 

I’m just an imperfect being
Trying to hide myself away
In an overwhelming world
Seeking light in all this dark
Filled with empty happiness 
I wonder how cruel a soul must be
To smile in the face of sorrow
Until I remember I ruined you.
I remember (ruined you)
Yeah. Yeah.
Ruined you. (I remember)

The sky was on fire
The world ablaze
You flew away … her in your arms
A hawk with precious prey
I remember. (Yeah yeah)
I remember the hatred on your face
Your drunk spiteful laugh
As You flew away … her in your arms
like a hawk with precious prey
I remember. (Yeah yeah)
Yeah yeah (I remember)
Yeah yeah

precious prey

written as an answer to the recent uploaded song, "Life's A Puzzle", I don't claim to be a psychiatrist (is that the right word?) but after writing that song, I felt things were left up in the air and I found a few positive quotes (sorry unattributed) and strangled them and left them out to dry. I quite like the song, but feel I might rework it . But I will leave it for now and see if it ages well. It is a simple chorus/verse/chorus structure, with an intro/outro and a couple of guitar solos.
maybe it will hit the right note with you?

The Fire Inside Of You

Indie Pop Rock

A version in which the great human being and extraordinary musician Mike Fox participates as a collaborating artist giving new life to this simple and humble song 


D'mendo Boteli 

Como dos niños - D'mendo Boteli Feat. Mike Fox.wav

This Is Your Rebirth Hour

“Coordination” is a meditative world–gospel composition exploring the law of nonresistance — the spiritual principle that yielding brings harmony, while resistance brings struggle. The piece unfolds through choral mantras, poetic verses, and sacred silences, blending ethereal soprano tones with deep drones, gentle percussion, and flowing harp.
It guides the listener through a mystical inner journey: from struggle to surrender, from reaction to radiant stillness, from resistance to divine coordination.
An offering of peace — a song to flow with life, not fight against it.

Coordination

coordination

A pop song that reflects a little on this and that. Catchy and at the same time, with a purpose. Musically, I've really let myself go, again.
