He would work on a better mix, but I had so much fun that I wanted to share it asap !!
I recommend use of headphones once again !!!

New lyric video for April 24
https://youtu.be/SF_4eH7B788

If that was me / I’d spend all my time / getting wasted with you
If that was me / I’d give you the full code / to my lost earnings
If that was me / I’d script my best life / in our borrowed lines
And if that was me / I’d define my desire / through your yearnings…they’re my learnings

But it’s not me / No, it’s not me
Baby can’t you see / It’s just not me

If that was me / I’d worship the ground / I’ll never let you fall on
If that was me / Then pin you on up / in our home made shrines
If that was me / I’d donate you my lungs / to watch you breathe forever
Cos if that was me / I’d feed you my tears / so you never have to cry

But it’s not me / No, it’s not me
Baby can’t you see / I’m not the man I used to be
It’s just not me / I’m not that man I used to be

She said that was me / and I know I let you down / when I had to let you go 
Yeah that was me / lost all the good love / I didn’t know that I’d found
Cos it was me / couldn’t fall for the thought / of that new future us
So guess now it’s just me / 'til I’m buried alone / so deep underground 
But when buried and alone / who hears the sound

Now it’s just me / since she said set me free
Now it’s just me / and what’s meant to be will be
Now it’s just me / she said baby can’t you see
We’re forever you and me / forever you and me
You and me

But now it’s just me / not forever you and me / now it’s just me
Now it’s just me / not that man I used to be / now it’s just me
Now it’s just me / not forever you and me / now it’s just me
Now it’s just me
Now it’s just me

Tomorrow, 22 August 2022, marks ten years since my brother Bri died. Hard to believe. I remember that day as if it were yesterday. His ashes were released into the River Thames, from the towpath that runs alongside Fulham football ground (quaintly known as ‘Craven Cottage’). He’d been a lifelong supporter of the club so this seemed a very appropriate resting place for him.

For those unaware of the sporting ritual, nearly every year since 1839, there's been a boat race on The Thames between Oxford & Cambridge Universities, held on a course between Putney and Mortlake. It is quite the occasion, with crowds lining the banks of the river for much of the four mile, 374 yard distance. It is broadcast live by the BBC and the Fulham stadium can clearly be seen as the crews row past. Guess who we think of when that happens?

When we were kids, we lived on a housing estate just a couple of minutes from the river, so Boat Race Day was always special. Every family was either a vehement supporter of the light blues of Cambridge or the dark blues of Oxford which seemed quite normal at the time but, thinking back, appears quite odd now. We were all decidedly lower class, with precious little chance of attending any university, let alone Oxbridge. But I clearly remember having a punch up with another kid on the estate because he supported Oxford. Total madness…but in my defence, I was very young at the time.

The family ritual was to watch the race on the telly until it reached Hammersmith Bridge, run to the river to watch the boats go by and then run back to see the finish. You still hear folks say “We had to make our own fun in those days” and I rather think this custom now falls into that deeply enigmatic category.

So that’s how Bri’s death has become inextricably linked to The Boat Race and the thoughts I have of him when the drone cameras look down upon the crews as they zoom past Craven Cottage. The fond memories always win out over the political bewilderment…and, strange as it may seem, I still want Cambridge to win.

For you, Bri. We miss you. (Terry Reeves)

Ten years of ashes floating, reasons to find
Connected thoughts search sensitive mind
Watery echoes continue, grieving combined
Reluctant tidal memories, questions behind

Never to forget you're all part of me

Cambridge beat Oxford, repair some sorrow 
But cannot add smiles to a never tomorrow 
A two to one chance, exciting times borrow 
History growing up, running riverside to follow

Never to forget you're all part of me

Ten years have past left me standing here
No harmony practice, new song to appear
Every heartbeat 4/4 beat counting each year 
Independence not requested, vocal unclear

Never to forget you're all part of me

From Birth to final moments always there
No feeling exchanged or choosing to care
50 years of musical lifetime joined with stare 
Total love for a brother, dreams cannot share

Never to forget you're all part of me
Never to forget you’re all part of me

...and she starts to sing
and you stop her
and she wants to sing
but you stop her
the words come out and you are watching
they fall and burn as leaves
all around her...

fire comes from her mouth
'fire always comes from her mouth'
and still this sorrow...

she wants to hear the sound of fire
and she wants to watch you 
dancing all around her
fire comes from her mouth
'fire always comes from her mouth.'
and still this sorrow...

Lyrics:
the paper sun has gone down now
for shining eight miles away
no mad man's running through the fields now
no longer he lives for today

the purple haze has passed away now
and lucy's now a daughter of eve
the iron butterfly has vanished
so light my fire before we leave

come take my hand
we dive into the kaleidoscope
where green circles wait
watch me i am gonna fade away

a former psychedelic siren
now part of the music business scene
is casting spells only for money
 the white rabbits hide in lemon trees

come take my hand
we dive into the kaleidoscope
where green circles wait
watch me i am gonna fade

quotes / reminiscences (psych and garage rock bands and songs 1966 - 68)
in order of appearance in the lyrics:

traffic - paper sun
the byrds - eight miles high
dantalion's chariot - mad man's running through the field
the grass roots - let's live for today
jimi hendrix - purple haze
beatles - lucy in the sky with diamonds
the daughters of eve (us band)
iron butterfly (us band)
the doors - light my fire
kaleidoscope (uk band) 
small faces - green circles
the tide - psychedelic siren
ccr - i put a spell on you
jefferson airplane - white rabbit
the move - here we go round the lemon tree
