NO WAY THROUGH TO HEART (Divided Root collab. w Tom Adams & Gernot Baur)
Composer: Terry Reeves,  Written: December 1984,  Recorded: Summer1988   Additional recording November 2013.  Re-Mastered by Adrian Heathcote, May 2014 (www.reverbnation.com/adrianheathcote)
The only role I have played in this song is that of organising others to contribute their extraordinary skills.  From Bri and Terry's original, Tom and Gernot's atmospheric virtuosity and Adrian's sheer finesse at the mixing desk, all of the credit goes to those who have actually worked on the track.  Great, aren't they?   (Gary Reeves) 

Let’s get it straight right from the start 
There’s no way through to heart
It can drive you so insane but it’s always in the brain
For so many words of love, hate dominates above
So open eyes and ears, hear the word and see the tears

There’s no difference in how you feel
Only this time it could be real

Let’s get it straight as time goes by 
There’s no truth and there’s no lie
Games played outside the head can’t affect the way it’s said
Or so many words of love, life aggravates above
So open mouth and open mind, tell the truth and lead the blind

No conclusions in what you hear
In these words existed fear

Let’s get it straight before the end 
Making love can’t make a friend
It can make you feel so good, that’s fine if understood
For so many words of love, sex complicates above
But open legs and arms, enjoy the moment, what’s the harm

There’s no Heaven you know it well
There’s only one place, this is Hell

Last Night (Collaboration with Justin Valente and Gernot Baur

When I first wrote this song I was a little bit concerned that the person about whom it is written (let’s call him ‘CG’) might possibly be a little offended. He is a very good friend of mine who always had the uncanny knack of achieving successful outcomes in what at first appeared to be totally lost causes.  

For example, he had a long argument with the local authority over unreasonable parking ticket offences in Whitton (a district on the outer edges of Greater London)  and although it took a not inconsiderable amount of time and application, he eventually proved that  the local authority’s action was totally illegal. They not only had to return any monies charged (albeit on request) but also apologise for any difficulties and stress caused.

We became work friends in 1985 and spent far too many of our lunchtimes in a variety of the local pubs. He was very interested in my involvement with Root Division and I eventually invited him to one of the recording sessions at my brother Brian’s flat.  It completely captured his imagination. He was very knowledgeable about many music genres (for example, the intricacies of bands and their history), so it was no surprise at all that some years later I saw him playing bass in a pub band. It was also no surprise that he recorded an album and appeared at some very highly regarded venues.

This song is a tribute to his ability of triumphing in seemingly impossible situations, always going that extra mile to right the wrongs he saw happening all around him. I think we could all do with a slice of CG in us to help occasionally turn the world in favour of the underdog.  Like the ‘Lone Ranger’, he was a shadowy figure (definitely a case of “Hi Ho Silver, Away!”) but once seen, never forgotten.  He will always be my Whitton Cowboy.  CG, this is for you.  (Terry Reeves)

Need also to say how honoured Terry and me are to have such a trio of top class musicians involved in the making of this song. Sincere and exceedingly grateful thanks to Drew Ford,  Axel Weiss and Gernot Baur for their generosity and consummate musicianship. The same applies to our producer / engineers Nik Paravatos and Camillo Tirados at the TLSS Recording Studio, Homerton Hospital for their unshakeable patience and encouragement.  You're the best, my friends. (Gary Reeves)

Have you seen The Whitton Cowboy walking down the street?
Not looking for a gunfight but it's you He wants to meet
He don't even mind if you have nothing to say
He don't even mind he will talk to you anyway

He really wants to show you
How to live The Whitton Way
He really wants to feed you
The local news each day

Have you seen The Whitton Cowboy riding in his car?
Avoiding all the potholes He already wears the scar
He'll tell you the tale of the ambush and the fine
He’ll also try to show you how to fight the council line

His electronic wisdom
Is there for everyone to see
Displaying His Achievements
On communicating screens

He's The Whitton Cowboy - He fights for everyone
He's The Whitton Cowboy - He doesn't need a gun

Have you seen The Whitton Cowboy, looking at his peak
You might think He wants to kiss you, but only on each cheek
He wants you to hear The Whitton Angels on the wing
He also wants you to hear Fairport Convention as they sing

The King of Cowboy Disco
Now a memory of the past
He used to be the fastest
But now He's proud to be the last

Have you seen The Whitton Cowboy, standing tall and proud
A man of many facets but only one of them's ALOUD
He will never see any hatred on the street
He can't even see past His Stomach to His Feet

He's The Whitton Cowboy, The Greatest there has been
He's the Whitton Cowboy, The Gil Man always on the scene
