this is the rough draft for my song "green curry". I still need to find a good lead singer, since I'm more of a song writer/rhythm guitarist. 

This song was inspired my good friend Mark Brown, back in the glory days of Sorsaka Inn.

Lyrics:
(verse)
sun is shining and it's morning
birds are singing and im... yawning
lunch time with a beer in my hand
then it's 5 o'clock and time to unwind
doing the same as last week and we love it
we love it yeah

(chorus)
 somewhere on this island
there's a happy hour where the sad faces gather
somewhere on this island
there's boredom, there's laughter, there's heartache, there's chatter

Maybe I'll see you there
don't worry baby cause I'll act like I don't care
maybe you'll just kiss me on my cheek, but
don't worry baby you don't have to leave

(verse)
December's when the lost ones appear
let's hope there's no drama this year
Night time, green curry in mind
then it's Thursday night and time to unwind
doing the same as last week and we love it
we love it yeah

(chorus)
somewhere on this island
there's a happy hour where the sad faces gather
somewhere on this island
there's boredom, there's laughter, there's heartache, there's chatter

Maybe I'll see you there
I won't worry cause you'll act like you don't care
maybe I'll just kiss you on your cheek, but
I ain't going nowhere so you better get used to.....
me

(break)
wash, rinse dry and repeat again
living on an island with your ex-girlfriend
when we keep the situation bubbling under the surface
we need green curry to be part of the circus

(end)
somewhere on this island
somewhere on this island
somewhere on this island
somewhere on this island

Green Curry

This is a rough draft of a song I wrote during a period of 6 months when I was unemployed on the island. (Still looking for a lead singer for this track).

Lyrics:

(verse)
You know what I mean
Ain't got no money, just a dream you see

I wanna play the blues, but this ain't New Orleans

Maybe I'll go overseas
where nights are cold and so are the women to me
where life is hard and so are the people you meet

(chorus)
well it's a cold lonely night 
but the stars they shine, oh so bright
not a cent to my name
but happy all the same
that's the way I feel inside

(verse)
I got my kachepin 
It don't look like much, but gets me from a A to B
Not fast as yours, but easy on the gas and beers

(chorus)
well it's a cold lonely night 
but the stars they shine, oh so bright
if I'm all alone
I can carry on
that's the way I feel inside

(break)
of my mind
though I might fall more than a stand here
tonight
I've got hopes and dreams not ways and means
I've got a pocket full of sunshine and scars on my knees
in my mind
ohhh, my mind

(chorus)
well it's a cold lonely night 
but the stars they shine, oh so bright
I've got the blues
those island blues
and that's the way I feel inside
that's the way I feel inside
That's the way I feel inside
tha't the way.. I... feel.. inside...

Island Blues

There are those people who will say that this song is not in the "proper format" because the chorus is longer than the verse and that it does not end with the chorus. To those people I will say that flexibility and creativity are closely related.

This song is about approach anxiety.

FAIL

Verse:
Let's go and meet the sun
Maybe she's the one
Maybe play along

But then I feel like shit
And I don't wanna take chance
Crash, burn and revel in it

chorus:
But then the clouds part
Foggy nights start
To draw the light from your eyes my way

The moon aligns with your lovely eyes
And the starry sky
Lights my night ablaze

Clock is turning 
Daylight’s burning
Lets try not to sound so lame

Mind is hurting
Stomachs burning
I don't want this to be another fail

Verse:
Let’s go and start the fun 
Ready for the run
Places everyone

Well I don’t wanna be a jerk
But if good guys finish last 
It will serve

Chorus:
But then the clouds part
Foggy nights start
To draw the light from your eyes my way

The moon aligns with your lovely eyes
And the starry sky
Lights my night ablaze

Clock is turning 
Daylight’s burning
Lets try not to sound so lame

My mind is hurting
Stomachs burning
I don't want this to be another fail

Break:
Well I don’t really like this game
It’s kinda fun to watch, but not so much to play

And I don’t need your good graces
Wish you were the one who hunts and chases… me.

Fail

I recently went to go see my son and apparently he's a Lego aficionado. 

Building Blocks (lyrics):
I’ll take a seat and you’ll take the box
I’ll pick the parts while you build the truck
You’ll drive far as you want
And in the end I’ll love you lots

Just pick the blocks that suit you best, it’s not a test
We don’t need to talk while you’re building trucks

Little tantrums when they come apart
I’ll hold them together so you don’t give up
That rocket might take you as far as you want
No matter how far, I’ll love you lots

Just pick the blocks that suit you best, it’s not a test
I’ll know who you are from your building blocks
