Gary Reeves: Drums / Percussion
Joby Reeves: Guitars / Bass / Keyboards & Arrangement
Gordon Midgley: Production and Final Mix

As you may have noticed, this song contains not one, not two but three Reeves for the price of one.  We’d always wanted to record a song with Bri’s son Joby, so working with him on this made two decrepit old uncles exceedingly happy.  At such a young age his musical talent fills us with both wonder and family pride.  The track is entirely his arrangement and it was a very emotional experience for both of us to play and sing alongside him – we certainly had to up our game a bit.
Huge thanks are due to our old mate Gordon Midgley for producing such a wonderful final mix.  Couldn’t have done it without you, Gord.  (Terry & Gary Reeves)

(In memory of our Dad, Ronald Reeves, who would have been 95 today.  Miss you, Dad.)  

Waking to an empty page
A thousand words but nothing new
The written book of War No Peace
What is said we all must do

Mother Nature says it’s always right
No satisfaction unless there’s more to fight

Growling like a hunting Lion
The claws are out to kill
Trouble is there’s no idea
There are many ways that will

Mother Nature says it’s always right
No satisfaction unless there’s more to fight

Standing with a Six foot sword
Attacking every wall
Slashing with a blunted blade
No damage caused at all

Mother Nature says it’s always right
No satisfaction unless there’s more to fight

Traveling all around the world
Not a penny to the name
Knowing how to say why, what and when
But missing who’s right to claim

Mother Nature says it’s always right
No satisfaction unless there’s more to fight

Shouting with the loudest voice
Knowing how to get respect
Whispers heard behind your back
Another heavy weight around the neck 

Mother Nature says it’s always right
No satisfaction unless there’s more to fight

Respecting life cannot come first
You must do what you are told
Just in time the Lone Ranger came
To allow us to grow old

Mother Nature isn’t always right
More satisfaction when there is no fight

LYRICS
You Promised Me – by Lorraine Baron

Verse 1
Your moondust settled in my eyes
Your magic took me by surprise
You said you’d move heaven and earth
And I believed what I preferred

Chorus
You promised me the stars
You said the world was ours
You promised me the moon
I only wanted you

Verse 2
You said you needed some more time
I thought I’d maybe heard that line
You said love comes to those who wait
And now I fear what trust erased

Bridge
Why can’t we have it all
The splendid and the small
Why can’t we just believe
In magic guaranteed

You Promised Me

You Promised Me - 2021 Mix

Silent Standing
(D/L available at www.terrywigmore.com)

This is a very mean & moody Gibbo stood standing, silently singing ...more than thoughtful...leaning his back against his decaying doorway...
Terry somewhere in the chancellery, nonchalantly flipping a coin, with something nasty on one side and a worn out memory on the other. Offering some hope? Maybe not...
Me? Well, I'm in the toilet, with a grumbling bass whilst spouting a slightly sinister 'Andrews Sisters' thing :-)

This is just what we do...

Silent Standing

1) I can't quite remember, how it got to this
One moment you were there and then you're gone
But I stood silent in the doorway staring at the space you used to be.
And I stood silent in the doorway staring at the space you used to be.

2) But I can still recall your elegance and grace
As you shattered what was two and made it one
But I stood silent in the doorway staring at the space you used to be.
And I stood silent in the doorway staring at the space you used to be.

She moves like a flower in the chancelleries of spring...spring...
She moves...like a flower in the spring

(Repeat V.2)

…And I stood silent in the doorway staring at the space you used to be.........

lyrics based on the poem My Cocoon from These Tales Are True

my cocoon

not breaking the grounding between my feet
but stepping into the dance.
a move behind me at times
and then leading,

you work me into a circle
circling my radius
my cocoon
 
in my body
you work me, my cocoon, 
in a dance, in a dance, an inner dance

Endless Beach

Round and round the endless road, repetition overload, 
The circus of life
Why don’t they see, why do they refuse to see?

Blinkered and bound
More lost than found
Why don’t they see, why do they refuse to see?
Perpetual game, conceptual shame
Why don’t they see, why do they refuse to see?

Collective mass amnesia, wilful anaesthesia
Fire and furious reaction
Why don’t they see, why do they refuse to see?
The actors and the faces change, storylines remain the same
Blame it on the scapegoat faction
Why don’t they see, why do they refuse to see?

Blinkered and bound
More lost than found
Why don’t they see, why do they refuse to see?
Perpetual game, conceptual shame
Why don’t they see, why do they refuse to see?

None So Blind
