A break from the Electronica and back to guitar based on this one. Neil Johnson on drums & first time featuring my new Fender Bass VI.

Think About It

The lyrics were resurrected from an old 80s song on a cassette tape of my old band Blue Party in rehearsal in 84. The music is new though. Unashamedly 80s.

Today

Inspired by the 1950s Film Noir of the same name. Recorded in my home studio.

City Of Fear

YESTERDAY, IS HISTORY REMEMBERED
TOMORROW IS, A MYSTERY UNFOLDING
TODAY IS, A GIFT THAT LASTS FOREVER


   UTOPIA, WERE SO BLIND
IT’S HARD TO FIND
UTOPIA, IT’S RIGHT THERE
FOR THE TAKING

I CLIMBED THE HIGHEST MOUNTAIN
WHAT DID I FIND?
FOR THE WORLD IS HOLLOW
AND I HAVE TOUCHED THE SKY

UTOPIA, WERE SO BLIND
IT’S HARD TO FIND
UTOPIA, IT’S RIGHT THERE
FOR THE TAKING

THE WORLD’S A STAGE
AND WE’RE JUST ACTORS ON IT
WE PLAY OUR PART
AND THEN THE STAGE DEPART

UTOPIA, WERE SO BLIND
IT’S HARD TO FIND
UTOPIA, IT’S RIGHT THERE
FOR THE TAKING
                                                 
INSTRUMENTAL

UTOPIA, WERE SO BLIND
IT’S HARD TO FIND
UTOPIA, IT’S RIGHT THERE
FOR THE TAKING

UTOPIA, UTOPIA, UTOPIA
