This is a tune about a lot of people and for anyone who's enjoyed the indulgence of wallowing in your own muck for a while

Sweet Meltdown

Just what it says, because sometimes everyone forgets where they came from

First Kiss

I thought I was writing this about someone else, but maybe I'll be wrong

Crying on the Subway

Childhood affects you for life - song for a lovely friend of mine

Leaving Trails

Misfit

Heart's Not In It

Game of Fools

Hi - you may pick up a bit of a dylan influence on this track(!) ... basically i wrote it because apparently sir bob was pretty disparaging of a song written by donovan called colours....and i think of the man generally.  i tried to write a similar kind of tune but with a more ascerbic lyric that i though bob would be more inclined to like (should he ever get to hear it...we can dream).  in the end i can imagine bob doing it, but i hope the song works as it is regardless.  oh, and thanks to an ex for the inspiration

questions of morality

what would you do if i told you your world would be red
all of the colours you're used to would vanish, and instead
you'd see the sun in the sky
crimson arrangements of birds as they fly
rouge would awaken the lie
that you've kept from yourself and all other men

what would you do if i told you your world would be green
the colour we sang in our youth at the start of all things
would you run from the jungle you find yourself in
would you feel more empty than you have ever been
are you destroyed by the envy you bury within
as you mourn the passing of your beauty

what would you do if i told you your world would be yellow
no sun, nor blame can cast their shadow
would your jaundiced opinions wither and fade
could you be the judge of the good and the fake
is it the dreamer or the coward that you'll follow
neither one can stop you shaking

what would you do if i told you your world would be blue
deep as the doubt that i wedded you to
would you look in the mirror and see what is true
or stare at the stranger who means nothing to you
why when you need pity do you assume
you can hear the peeling of my laughter

what would you do if it old you your world would be black
would you dwell on all that you have or all that you lack
would you sleep the sleep of the content and the free
or check under your bed for the beggars and the thieves
who may yet disturb your everlasting peace
with their questions of morality

The Lake

a tokin open tune/jam

I Fought Love

I fought love
And it fought back
Fast as I ran
It was too fast
Chased me down
Chased me down

Called it by name
And it called back
Scared me for days
Cos it made
… no sound
Made no sound

Dark the nights
When I would walk away
Tears me up
To think how I have strayed

Head bowed
I can’t hold your gaze
I never know
What to say

I’ve missed you so much

A heart will stain
If it can’t love
Fear and pain won’t be undone,
The fall 
Hurt’s like hell
Hurt’s like hell

I tried to hide
I was found out
Pain I was keeping to myself
Died
All gone now
All gone now

Dark the nights
When I would walk away
Tears me up
To think how I have strayed

Head bowed
I can’t hold your gaze
I never know
What to say

I’ve seen my life in your eyes

I fought love
And it fought back
Fast as I ran
It was too fast
Chased me down
Chased me down
