Somethin's Got To Give (EP Version)

Turns out my kitchen has good reverb and you can create a make shift vocal booth by opening your kitchen cupboards and shoving your head between them when recording.
New song born this afternoon :-)

Lifeline

This track is about looking back at memories and moments so strong you can almost taste, see, hear, smell, feel them for a second time. 
 
 
Lyrics 
 
Feel the fire burn, 
It's never burnt like this before. 
See the flames bright and true, 
Incandescent to the very eye. 

And I can taste, I can taste, 
I can taste, I can taste, 
I can taste, you 
Oh you're in my memories 

I can taste, I can taste, 
I can taste, I can taste, 
I can taste, you 
Oh you're in my memories 

You're like a waterfall 
You just wash, over me. 

Waterfall, 
You're washing over me. 

Trace the timelines back, 
Don't you wish we could regret. 
I gave you it all, 
I laid myself bare. 
No nothing to hide from you, 
Now or then. 

And I can taste, I can taste, 
I can taste, I can taste, 
I can taste, you 
Oh you're in my memories 

I can taste, I can taste, 
I can taste, I can taste, 
I can taste, you 
Oh you're in my memories 

You're like a waterfall, 
You just wash over me, 
You just wash over me. 
Over me. 
Me.

Waterfall

Will you fit or will you collide... 
 
Lyrics 
 
Pull me in tight, no way I can fall 
He won't fall, he won't fall at all. 
Dancing around your kitchen, dancing upon your ceiling 
Oh you sway me true. 
But those waters got rocky that night. 

Let's go down the rabbit hole. 
Share a token, share a lie. 
Share a lie. 
Let's go down the rabbit hole. 
The only way was down, 
The only way was down. 
(x2) 

Your body tells a story, 
My body was your canvas, not now. 
Not now. 
Your body tells a story, 
My body was your canvas, not now, 
Not now. 

And then we, and then we collide. 
And then we collide. 
And then we collide. 
And then we, and then we collide. 
And then we collide. 
Then we collide.

Time to Spare was written back in October 2010 for my Auntie, the late Nancy Calder who sadly passed away after a long fight with cancer. 
 
This song is dedicated to her and to all those that have been affected by cancer during their lives; directly or through family and friends. 
 
Lyrics 
 
Let me comb your hair, 
Just rest your eyes for me my dear. 
I will not stand and stare, 
We've still got so much time left to, 
Spare, oh yeah we do. 

I can hold your hand, 
And chase away any of your fears. 
I will not stand and stare. 
We've still got so much time left to, 
Spare, oh yeah we do. 

And you, 
Well you've been saved, 
You'll be alright, 
Cos you've been saved. 
And you, 
Well you've been saved, 
You'll be alright, 
Cos you've been saved. 

You've been, 
Saved. 
You've been saved, 
You've been saved. 
You've been, 
Saved. 
You've been saved, 
You've been saved. 

Let me comb your hair, 
Just rest your eyes for me my dear. 
I will not stand and stare, 
We've still got so much time left to, 
Spare, oh yeah we do.

Time To Spare

See Me was written in honour of the beautiful, courageous Sheree Bell, who lost her life after an unsuccessful heart transplant at the young age of 22 years. Sheree was a good friend and a huge inspiration to all that knew her. Even during the height of her battle she continued to smile and remain positive. 
 
This track is available as a free download. In return I would like to encourage you to make a donation to the British Heart Foundation via the JustGiving page linked below. This page was set up to continue Sheree's fundraising efforts in her memory.

Lyrics 
 
Heavy eyes and silent thoughts, 
I don't know where to start. 
People age and people grow, 
People fade too fast to know. 

But I know where I would go, 
I know what I'd say to you. 

Let the rhythm take you, 
Let the timings make you, 
Collisions head on, 
But you can't break the fall. 
Let the summers bathe you, 
Let the mistakes save you, 
Collisions head on, 
But you can't break the fall. 

All the times run through my head, 
Happy faces, laughter rings. 
If only I had known this then, 
If only I could see you now. 

But I know where I would go, 
I know what I'd say to you. 

Let the rhythm take you, 
Let the timings make you, 
Collisions head on, 
But you can't break the fall. 
Let the summers bathe you, 
Let the mistakes save you, 
Collisions head on, 
But you can't break the fall. 

Never a quiet girl, everyone knew her name. 
Nobody seen her cry, only knew of her strength. 
And now the pictures in focus. 

See me, won't you hear me cry. 
See me, won't you hear me now. 
See me, won't you hear me now. 
See me, 
Won't you hear me cry. 

See me, 
Won't you hear me now, na-na-na-na now. 
See me, 
Won't you hear me now. 
See me, won't you hear me cry. 
See me, 
Won't you hear me now, na-na-na-na now. 
See me, 
Won't you hear me cry. 
See me, 
Won't you hear me, 
Now.

See Me

This song was inspired by a trip to Switzerland and a game of cards whilst there. 
 
Lyrics 
 
Deal the cards, 
With lots of tricks to play. 
Eight or wait, 
Let's change the suit he said. 
But we know, 
Your favourite hand to play, 
Two or pick up two, 
You can't have it all they say. 

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo 
No no, 
You can't have it all they say. 
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo 
No no, 
You can't have it all they say. 

Split the deck, 
Uneven piles fall. 
Spade or club to start, 
I guess that will be your call. 
Winning streak, 
But how long will it last. 
You play your final card, 
You can't have it all they say. 

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo 
No no, 
You can't have it all they say. 
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo 
No no, 
You can't have it all they say. 
(x2)
