Rocket fuel regular
Or rocket fuel light?
Said the Venusian
He was ever so polite

She said, give me regular
And lit a cigar
He knew straight away
That this girl was from Mars

No smoking in here
You’ll blow us all up
She said, give me ya phone number
And I might look you up

He went red
She remained green
Coz Martians and Venusians
Are like meat with ice cream

Meat with Ice Cream
Meat with Ice Cream

He went red
She remained green
But when you think about it
What’s wrong with meat with ice cream

He gave her his number
That’s  what they did
She gave hime a wink
And he fluttered his lids

Meat with Ice Cream
Meat with Ice Cream
He gave her his number
And a little while later they had green and red kids

Meat with Ice Cream
Meat with Ice Cream
Meat with Ice Cream
You know what I mean

Dark Space

Volume on 11 for this one …. The pulsating rhythms instilling a sublime sensation of both restraint & motion, like driving. Part one is a guitar ensemble and later part 2 introducing bass effects and an addictive synth motif hook

Honeybee

Across This Land (Original)

A song about the golden age of steam trains. 
A 4-Star Commended Entry in the 'Adult Contemporary' category of the UK Songwriting Contest 2023.

A train is waiting at the station, waiting to take you for a ride,
All you have to do is buy a ticket, where you're going to you decide,
Electric, diesel, inter-city express  ... and steam,
Electric, diesel, inter-city express  ... and steam,
Long time ago there was the steam age, I just about remember when that was,
Travelling with my mum on a steam train, looking back that now seems very odd,
Electric, diesel, inter-city express  ... and steam,
Electric, diesel, inter-city express  ... and steam,
You may recall the Flying Scotsman, it really was the train you couldn't beat,
Travelling up and down the west coast line, fireman generating steam and heat,
Electric, diesel, inter-city express  ... and steam,
Electric, diesel, inter-city express  ... and steam,
Riding on the Great Western Railway, it must have been quite a thrill,
Travelling through all the valleys, steaming up and down the hills,
Electric, diesel, inter-city express  ... and steam,
Electric, diesel, inter-city express  ... and steam,
They call that the golden age of steam, it's hard to do anything but agree
The trains back then caused much pollution, but they were so magnificent to see,
Electric, diesel, inter-city express  ... and steam,
Electric, diesel, inter-city express  ... and steam,
Now we have the modern trains to go on, buy your ticket on your mobile phone,
All the trains are usually quite fast now, taking people to and from their homes,
Electric, diesel, inter-city express  ... and steam,
Electric, diesel, inter-city express  ... and steam,
A train is waiting at the station, waiting to take you for a ride,
All you have to do is buy a ticket, where you're going to you decide,
Electric, diesel, inter-city express  ... and steam,
Electric, diesel, inter-city express  ... and steam,
Electric, diesel, inter-city express  ... and steam,
Electric, diesel, inter-city express  ... and steam,
Inter-city express, inter-city express.

Inter-City Express

Inter-City Express (Graham Williams)

The eternal quest for inspiration,starring the inevitable setbacks. 

Searching for inspiration
Sweating blood and tears
Sometimes all information
Just disappears

Easy times in days of youth
I knew the way
Time to face the hard truth
I've nothing left to say

It's all gone away

Nothing left to say

Running down a dead end street
Chasing the muse
Finding more chaff than wheat
Nothing to use

Nothing left but tired old tat
Done the same old way
Pick the lyrics from a hat
No one listens,anyway

It's all gone away

Nothing left to say

Chasing The Muse

For my darling wife Suzanne

JustForYou


Feeling kind of dark inside
On the edge just scraping by
And hoping for more
Cynical of the past
Waiting for another chance
Then you came through the door

When I looked into your eyes
Couldn’t help loving you, loving you
And I still get kinda high
When you come by

No matter what’s in store
I know one thing that’s for sure
I’ll be saving all my kisses for you
Just for you

I was lost in a black abyss
Needing more than a quick fix
And the spark for the catalyst 
Was the passion of our first kiss

Well things don’t always go as planned
Sometimes you know shit hits the fan
But I don’t get sore
Counting blessings yes indeed
Got what I want and what I need
When you came through the door

Now when I look into your eyes
Can’t help loving you, loving you
And I still get kinda high
When you come by

No matter what’s in store
I know one thing that’s for sure
I’ll be saving all my kisses for you

I’ll be saving all my kisses for you
Just for you

JustForYou

ELLE S’APPELLE ELSPETH C’EST FOU CE QU’ELLE DÉVORE 
ELLE EST DE L’ESPÈCE DES SOURIS PAPIVORES
OTHELLO MACBETH COOPER FENIMORE
BIEN SÛR MONSIEUR TESTE AND SO MANY MORE

AND IN A WORLD OF WORDS SHE LIVES UNDER THE SPELL JUST LIKE A MILLION BIRDS QUI LA FRÔLENT DES AILES

PLEASED TO MEET ELSPETH
MAIS NI REGRETS NI REMORDS SHE’S ALREADY FOUND HER BEST FRIEND AND SO MUCH MORE
YOU LUCKY ANDY

ET DANS SON MONDE DE MOTS SON UNIVERS DE LETTRES 
C’EST DES MILLIONS D’OISEAUX QUI LA FRÔLENT PEUT-ÊTRE

COMMENT ELLE S’APPELLE ELLE S’APPELLE ELSPETH 
COMMENT ÇA S’ÉPELLE DON’T KNOW HOW TO SPELL 
AD LIB
AND IF YOU DON’T THINK PARIS WAS MADE FOR LOVE GIVE LONDON ONE MORE CHANCE

LA SOURIS PAPIVORE (Lyrics) song for Elspeth

LYRICS 

8 billion people stopped praying today
Planes fell from the sky, fell like rain
Cars went crashing off of the roads
Tsunami waves landed on the coast

When I think how it ended tween you and me 
I begged the whole world to get back on their knees 
Please

Golden Gate Bridge is in the sea
The angels refused to intervene
The nations armies have gone to war
Those petty thoughts went out the door 

When I think how it ended tween you and me 
I begged the whole world to get back on their knees 
Please

Please forgive me for my selfish ways 
I know the whole world is falling away
My baby got caught up in this mess 
I didn’t try - didn’t do my best

When I think how it ended tween you and me 
I begged the whole world to get back on their knees 
Please

Begged the Whole World

First of all thanks for dropping in on my page.
I sing, write songs and play rhythm guitar. I'm trying to learn a bit of bass. People tell me I've got a reasonable voice and I have a liking for melody. As I make my way with multi-track home recording, I'm hoping the the end result will be greater than the sum of the parts!
So again, thanks for dropping by. Hopefully you will take a listen to some of my songs and if you like what you hear, it would be great if you could leave a comment.
