Song For The Damned

lyrics

Don't think I like it
But I breathe it
Don't think I like it
But I have to be it

I retreat, I retreat
I retreat, I retreat

But I breathe it
I have to be it
I retreat, I retreat

Sometimes I feel ok
But not today
Sometimes I feel ok
But I'm made of clay

I retreat, I retreat
I retreat, I retreat
I retreat, I retreat
I retreat, I retreat
I retreat, I retreat

no more

retreat

lyrics

White Russians give me 
Emotional Intelligence
White Russians give me
Emotional Intelligence

I'm so drunk
Gonna party by myself
Gonna Gonna party
Gonna party by myself
I'm so drunk 
Gonna party
Gonna party by myself
I'm feeling emotional intelligence
I'm so smart
I'm so smart right now
White Russians
I'm so smart
I'm gonna party by myself
I'm so drunk I'm gonna party by myself
Gonna feel alright tonight
Do you miss me
You miss me

emotional intelligence

lyrics

You need me too
You need me too
Don't act like you do
When you know it's true
You need me too 
You need me too
Yes you do

It's like a light switch
You can turn it down
It's like a light switch
You turn it all around
It's like a light switch
You can turn it down
Turn it all around

light switch

This acoustic version of my song made from one of my Grandad's poems is dedicated to Father Brendan Scully who passed away on 30th August 2025. He was 81 years of age.

Brendan was a fabulous soul and a really good friend of our family growing up. Brendan used to call us cuz (short for cousin).

Father Brendan was so amazing.

Rest in Peace Fr. Brendan 🤍

You were a true man of conscientious spirit and a credit to what a priest should be for people, a teacher of love 🫡

Lyrics

Ahoo ha!

They say it started with a blast
(started with a blast)
Our universe in distant past
(aww the distant past)
I search the sky I search the trees
(search the trees)
But only laughing beauties tease
(only beauties tease)
Oh! God who wrought this mighty task
(mighty task)
What size are You? I fondly ask

A galaxy infinity
What proof of your ability!

So feeble is my understanding
Of Thee and the stars so long expanding
Oh! fury of this recondite
When will this mystery come to light
Why wonder at a galaxy
When we as yet don’t know the bee
How could it be that from one bang
Alone all natures music rang

It’s Papa!
Ahoo ha
Pass into the future
It's Papa!
Ahoo ha
Passing to be future

What mysteries do we tread upon
When daisy heads we trample on
Alas no greater is the deed
That you can make a star or seed
Oh! cruel short chain of lexicon
Can’t I express this God an’ sun
To look into the deep devide
And tell what secrecy it hides

To see the way the skies obey
Or ponder over Saturn’s Rhea
To marvel at the sun on fire
Or look to Mars revolving mire
Or see the Moon’s majestic eye
As she protects the starry sky
If I could but explain a tree
Then I could solve this mystery
Waiting answer will not be long
God will tell me when I’m gone

It’s Papa!
Ahoo ha
Pass it to the future
“I’ve got Mum safe an' sound”

It’s Papa!
Ahoo ha
Passed to the future

There there sons
and our little girls
Greetings from heaven
You’ve all turned out so well
You give this planet the good warmth
Truth, heart and hope
It’s really that simple
Just love and be one”

Hey Nana
Hey Papa
Ah hu ha
Passing to the future
Ah ha ha ha
Hey Nana
Hey Papa
Ah hu ha
Passed into the future
Ah ha ha ha

There there cuz
and our sons & girls
Greetings from heaven
You’ve all turned out so well
You give this planet the good warmth
Truth, heart and hope
It’s really that simple
Just love and be one”

Yeah
Ahoo ha

A big spiritual hello to Nana & Papa cuz :-) Love ya man

What I See

To consider
-Electric with the original chorus sound from Epiphone used in the early days. Maybe a raked chord for each root change with a long ring
-deep Chinese drums 
-These lyrics in-between verses
"Grace for globe
Fuse filled flow
Choose a glow
Choice of know"

To adjust
-

Grace for Globe

Wow, this existence, just like I've imagined
The blood, sweat and tears of a heart examined
Eased ears of Cairo, Kyiv and Moscow
Great soul of Tehran
Number one sound picasso
Many litres of tears have found this year
I've somehow stayed sane with a still daily cheer
It's just positive proof I need to unfurl
Infinite thanks for these ears my dear world

I love my home
Long peace oversees
It hurts to hear our negative breeze
Let's stay inspired and transmute our fears
May the next year be filled with more happy tears
It's the light
The good
The grand
The great
Not too bright
No shove
No brand
No fake
Message comes first
For you
For free
Just moulding a world with one better me

Thank you world for your inner ear air
My only aim is to fill it with care
It's care to grow from inspiration
Maybe set some snares for the crude blind hating
Pure honest truth for our human condition
When I'm wrong,
Hands up
I'll adjust my fission
The ultimate goal just love dissected
Some heart laid bare so this love is protected

Thank you world
You give me spirit
I try to return it with musical widget
Lets wist more wonder
Reel the real
Let's make a world of positive steel
Zion of zen
Good Jah of just
Juxtaposed existence thrust
Bring us forward to today
Together now and forever
We pray
It may...

There's a rainbow to the east and south a little... 🫡🌈
