October Rain (Planes / Sotomayor )

LYRICS: 

See the world that's blistering
Shone upon by a colorless sun
A wicked sun, a silent sun
Living between islands of pain
Gets a little hard but I'm in charge
Charge it to my credit card
Everybody has a hand in
We'll leap the edge and crash on rapids water
And consequences later

Something is attractive
Could be radioactive
Or my imagination
On the radio station
Gold on every axis
Enough to pay your taxes
We are for the people
Capitol or steeple
Among the pigs and prophets
We thought you might have bought it
To the fore we file in
Cue the sliding violin

When the money still remains
You don't talk until they pull the strings
Looking out for better things
I think your message struck a nerve
Take a bow and get what you deserve
Ride a transcendental curve
All the treasure that remains
Might be better spent on telling lies
Keep it in a sheep disguise

Shaking out your pockets
I think you finally lost it
Treat me like a play thing
Might be smoother sailing
Future past and present
Burn the farm and sell it
Slurry words and stipends
Might get a little violent
All the times you're wasting
Disaster in the making
A million mouths you're feeding
Smash through the glass ceiling

Rainfall and the rainfall
And the rainfall and the rainfall
Rainfall and the rainfall
And the rainfall and the rainfall
Rainfall and the rainfall
And the rainfall and the rainfall
Rainfall and the rainfall
And the rainfall 

If the world has gone to hell
You don't care because you took it all
And you still want more

Easy to feel deranged
Harder to make good sense of it all
Line 'em up against the wall

Through the cracks a glimmer of peace
Shake it off, it does no good at all
Until we make the final call

Nature does its own thing
No point in explaining
Off the top you're taking
Yielding next to nothing

If you look you see them
Whinging ad nauseam
In the heat we're brawling
Missed the final calling

Stretched so thin we relapse
Picked up by the bootstraps
Sounds a bit dumb to me
So why don't you kill me

Rainfall and the rainfall
And the rainfall and the rainfall
Rainfall and the rainfall
And the rainfall and the rainfall
Rainfall and the rainfall
And the rainfall and the rainfall
Rainfall and the rainfall
And the rainfall

Rain Chime

Silent Sun

I've been empty, I've been humble
Been some kind of curiosity
I spent too many years imprisoned in a cell of pure hypocrisy
An eager tutor learned the time
But soon forgot the skills needed to count
I owe you big style oh you treasure
And by god owe you a large amount

CHORUS
I was all charged
I  was incomplete
Scratched up and scarred
But it seems I firmly fell on my feet
Wave the white flag
Ignore what I said
I had love jet lag
But then I kind of met you instead
So many talents
You don't know you have
We're losing our balance
To find it we require a Satnav
There's no hill to climb
There's no more I need
When it comes to my time
Surely you are my missing piece

Hear the cheering, hear the trumpets
Hear the carnival of chaos crash
I think I inadvertently created some kind of a front page splash

CHORUS

You're a jewel a pure treasure
You are everything that I could want
Would you like another cocktail in this Jamaican restaurant?

CHORUS

Missing Piece

I got a short term memory
Goldfish remember more than me
I forget half of what I do
Apart from time with you
Its tough when you are not around
I sulk and drop down to the ground
I tried to do what Prince did
But I removed no rib

CHORUS
Bed - We said
Head to bed
Or something just as fun instead

My heart is always yearning
A passion spiced and burning
Excuse my occasional flaws
I blame the manopause
To crave the icy finger
Then pray that it doth linger
I can't contain excitement
Lets just head up to the bed

CHORUS

My brain it sure is spinning
It did from the beginning
If anything its faster
I hope that I'm a Laster
To feel you in the morning
As the new day is dawning
I have an increasing head
Lets just head up to the bed

CHORUS

Something Just As Fun

Edie is the title track from the forthcoming LP, out 3rd June 2022

Thanks for listening x

Edie

She got a pocket full of mighty fine, fine intentions
She got a way, she got a way that somehow makes you feel good
She got a story full of love and hate and other complications
Got you hooked on her smile, hooked and hung on a hook. (x2)

She got a promise full of smoky red wine redemption
She makes you pay, she makes you pay as if she's drawing your blood
She got a black heart full of war and peace and other aggravation
Got you hooked on her smile, hooked and hung on a hook. (x2)

She got you hung on a hook
Hung on a hook, she got you hung on a hook
She got you hung on a hook

Little cat all alone like that, in ballet flats in the snow
Little cat all alone like that, hey Edie, where you gonna go?
Little cat all alone like that, in ballet flats in the snow
Little cat all alone like that, hey Edie, where you gonna go?
I say Edie, where you gonna go? 
Oooooooh Ooooooooh

Edie oh Edie oh black-hearted Edie
Littered, lost love-lorn and ghost
Edie oh Edie oh black-hearted Edie
The one that I still love the  most
Edie oh Edie oh black-hearted Edie
The one that I still love the most

DOWNFORCE
When the pressure subsides
As our worlds collide
And we can both confide
Our secrets learnt

As the downforce hits
And our giggling fits
Have us both in bits
Smiling but burnt

Stability maintained
As the downforce gained
Is the pressure just feigned
Or duly earnt?

CHORUS
And the pressures building up from inside
Yet I'm feeling more stable
And the pressures building up will subside

And the downforce
But neither want out
So we scream and shout
The pressure on

CHORUS

(Force felt / face melt / no doubt)

Downforce (feat. Marc Freak)

"Angel In Jeans" is a song for our everyday hereos. Invisible to most of us, they contribute their time, knowledge or money to the society. When I wrote these lyrics I felt like I had something to say. You don't have to be a hero to do something good for others.

Musically, "Angel In Jeans" started as piano pop song with Caitlin's angelic voice. But the more synthesizers I added to the arrangement, the more it longed for a guitar. Garry spiced it up with a touch of funk. Thanks for the collaboration!

This song is part of my album "Going My Way" which can be downloaded at Bandcamp.

==== LYRICS ====
People don't believe in things
They've never seen or never heard before
They cry, they have fear
But they never ever will admit it openly

Though they're rich, they are poor
Though they're accompanied, they're still fools
In their minds they sit beneath a crown
Of importance and wealth while they drown

I am lost, incomplete
But I still keep on being their angel in jeans
Cut my wings, drop me out
but I still keep on being it without doubt

I am lost, incomplete
But I still keep on being their angel in jeans
Cut my wings, drop me out
But I still keep on being it without doubt

They only catch a glimpse of life
When they stare at somebody who is suffering
They won't realize
The one they stare at could be their effigy

People think, I have wings
That I fly and don't exist
But I sit and live in their midst
And doubt what they concede as true

I am lost, incomplete
But I still keep on being their angel in jeans
Cut my wings, drop me out
but I still keep on being it without doubt

I am lost, incomplete
But I still keep on being their angel in jeans
Cut my wings, drop me out
But I still keep on being it without doubt

Going My Way

Gettin' up in the morning to the same old songs
and the moon's still up cause we beat the sun
better turn it all on just to make it
through another long one.

But it's never as bad as it could've been
though it could be better than it always seems.
So we do it for each other
it makes it a little better.

And we once were blind but we now can see
the way the world works and how it ever came to be
beautiful and ugly
yet there's room for one another.

So turn the noise off step outside and look up high
at the stars we all see in the same old sky.
They can't be hiding the truth
and we share them with each other.

I know the world's not perfect and it never was
and the wheel keeps turning like it always does.
Turns forward just a little faster
than it turned out last year.

Now we make the best of every turn we've got
and we won't quit livin' till the big wheel stops.
Gotta keep it goin' baby
just live a little longer.

Just Step Outside

Elysian Fields (with Nadia Selvaggi - Hip Hop Version)

Life is rough, and your mind is busy with plans how to make it through the next day. Could you ever stop having the blues? Even as a musician? While jamming a boogie on piano, the phrase stuck in my head and I liked its ambiguity. I am overwhelmed how many people from all over the world joined the session and created an awesome rock'n'roll song. Everybody added their bit and we are very proud of the result. Thank you so much!

==== LYRICS ====
I’ve got not time to relax
no time for fun
Time is staring at me
down the barrel of its gun

No time to tie laces,
I’ve got slip on shoes
And worst of all
I’ve got no time for blues

I got no time for blues
No time to be amused
Nor even to watch the TV news
No time to pay my dues
I'm the king of excuses
I got no time - it's such a crime
No time for blues

I got letters to send
I got bills to pay
I have less time to myself
Every single day
I work so many hours
It's a wonder I don't drop
I don't know if these demands
Are ever gonna stop

All of my friends
are in the same boat
Doesn't seem to matter
Who gets your vote
We're working for peanuts
We can't make ends meet
if things don't look up soon
We'll be out on the street

Look at that guy
In his fancy car
He has no idea
How hard things are
When you're working for a wage
But sinking deeper into debt
When I think of the future
I break out in a cold sweat

I got no time for blues
No time to be amused
Nor even to watch the TV news
No time to pay my dues
I'm the king of excuses
I got no time - it's such a crime
No time for blues

Former frontman of Freak Circus and Dead Joe.  An experiment in DIY and lofi.  The odd bum note here, the even odder bum note there.  But with art do we care?
