ONE DAY IT WAS ALL FOR YOU
LEARN TO GIVE AND TAKE BUT CRY
A BIRTHDAY WISH IS ALL THATS TRUE
A WISHING WELL WITH NO DESIRE

TEN YEARS ON AND TO SMART TO LEARN
ON YOUR BIKE AND LOST IN STUFF
I THINK ABOUT THE SCHOOL DAYS GONE
WHAT WE SEE WE LEARN TO TRY

YOU CAN GIVE THEM LOVE, GIVE THEM ALL THE TIME
SOMETIMES IN THEIR LIFE, THEY WILL FIND

WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
AND WE'RE PASSING IT DOWN THE LINE
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
DOWN THE LINE.........
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
DOWN THE LINE.........
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
(break)
THE WISE GREY MAN CAN BEARLY HEAR
GRANDCHILD SENDS A TEXT OF LOVE
LOOKING OUT ACROSS THE SEA
HE REMEMBERS HOW HE USED TO BE

YOU CAN GIVE THEM LOVE, GIVE THEM ALL THE TIME
SOMETIMES IN THEIR LIFE, THEY WILL FIND

WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
AND WE'RE PASSING IT DOWN THE LINE
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
DOWN THE LINE.........
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
DOWN THELINE.........
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET

DOWN THE LINE

Combines different styles, kind of jazz and film soundtrack. Rhythm is driven by bass and keys, with a stack of guitar overdubs.

Wrote this in 2006, but the original chorus was really odd, and in listening back to it I couldn't work out what on earth I was thinking, so this is an updated version.  The verses are pretty much as they were in 2006, though have adjusted the melody a little bit, and the chorus is entirely new, middle 8 added too, those parts written in 2022.

Too Much Fear (2006)

Christian let me sing on his original track i always try to stay true to the feel of the moment and this had such an experimental vibe ,i stayed loose with the form we do hope you enjoy. - https://soundcloud.com/user-872366230
It has been brought to my attention that dear Christian has fallen very ill as i write this and i really hope all his friends can send healing energy and well wishes to him for a speedy recovery , I thank you all 
Kind Regards , Clive.

Time Out

The Casual Detectives

This is The Casual Detectives. A group of older folks who enjoy investigating, in a dramatic way,  anything they might have questions about. 

Lyrics;
The Casual Detectives
Gather for the carpool
On the hunt for  some mysteries
Like Peroit and Mrs. Marple

These aren't Philip Marlowes
With dark sarcastic views
Sam Spades or Sherlock Holmes
Hardy Boys or Nancy Drews

Unusual suspects
With a little too much time
Searching for the answers
To questions they might find

Reading Hammet and Doyle
Chandler and Christie
Inspiration from the masters
To help them search successfully

For cases yet to be resolved
Intense discussions over dinner
Like the food sometimes a case gets cold
And the Thin Man just keeps on getting thinner

It's all about the mystery
It's a game they love to play
Not locked up in their living rooms
In a rocker night and day

Getting facts like ol Joe Friday
The Detectives hit the street
The Shadow knows where evil lurks
And that's where the gumshoes meet

For missing pieces of the puzzles
And many mysteries to explore
The Casual Detectives
Go on the hunt once more

To the finish they will chase
The clues to crack the case
Scooby Dooing through the town
To reveal the answer's face

It's elementary
They will leave no stone unturned
They're working on deductions
From information learned

The Casual Detectives
Have their own directive
Enjoy the time your given
And the mystery of living

i reworked this song, I never really finished it when i posted it, i just kind of wanted to move on. This is a better song now.. I still can't get the vocals to sound right.. 
NOTE: I remixed this song, was able to get the pops and crackles out of the vocals

The evening fog had come, floating softly from the sea
and turned the world into a dream, where there is only you and me
when long ago we walked this shore,
and we had it all, but nothing more
not a memory you would keep
but it was everything to me

now time has burned away the fog, and we’ve come back to this place 
the silver sea and midnight sky underneath the milky way
but something’s lost along the way
where the water meets the sky so far away
it’s an illusion of the sea
they never really come to be

all I ever wanted, everything I thought I needed
I hoped to find in your heart     
If all of this meant nothing
then we’ve wasted all our time
We tried to be something we’re not
The same mistakes we’re making
The same bad road we’re taking 

It washes over me 
this is real, and not my dream
Let this be, go and find the one you need,
Who loves you for the things they see
Not what I want you to be
Not what you want me to be…

What I Wanted You To Be

Lest go for a walk along a beautiful Beach, surf running, birds singing, feel the cold sand beneath your feet, feel the freedom hear the world as it really is. Come walk with me on a beautiful beach in County Wexford, Ireland. Feel the freedom that only nature offers.

Walk Along The Seashore

Energetic – That's how I Feel
Electric Chains Drive my Spinnin' Wheels
Energetic – I'm Feelin' Just Right
Energetic – Now Turn-On your Light!

Move Yourself Against the Wind
But Don't get Blown Away
You've been Searching for so Long
But you Don't Know what to Say!

Move Yourself Into that Space
Where Generosity Never Ends
Like a Fountain Lifts your Face
Where the Sorrow starts to Bend!

Don't Ever Ask
Why am I Here
You're Vital to Us
When Our Path's Unclear                         x2
I Need Your Love, Spirit, and Fire!
Spread Astral Wings
My Pen You Inspire!

Move Yourself Against the Wind – but Don't get Blown Away
You've been Searching for so Long, but You Don't Know what to say

Energetic – That's how I Feel !
Electric Chains Drive my Spinnin' Wheels
Energetic – I'm Feelin' Just Right
Energetic – Now Turn-On your Light !!!

Energetic

This is a song that started as a stem with which Ian (IPG1) let Tez and I play. Tez made the riddim and added the guitar, producing a chord structure with which for me to work. I added bass, piano, synth, and sitar. Tez produced and mixed the whole thing. Ian's rapping is the centerpiece of the whole thing, though. Both of these guys are very special and talented. We hope you enjoy the song.
