LYRICS:

you can't fight fire with fire
someone always gets burned.
i've got this raging desire
tidal waves can't be turned.

ooh ooh...

i could burn down your house
turn your whole world upside down.
don't swim in deep water, girl, no...
there's every chance that you'll drown

ooh ooh...

and you...
what would you do for love?
would you cry for me?
yeah you!
what would you do for love?
would you die for me...?

you can't fight fire with fire
someone always, always gets burned
you'd do exactly the same
if the tables were turned...

Fire With Fire

a deeply personal song about almost losing someone close to me, and coming to terms with that.  something i don’t ever want to re-live, but it made me love them so much more.  more than i ever thought possible.

lyrics:

don't say you love me - or that you want me now...
don't say you want me - or that you love me now...

never been this high
i'm scared of heights
i'm scared of falling down.
never in this life
have i swam in sunlight
i'm scared i'm gonna drown.

'cos i love you more now
than i ever thought i would
i ever thought i could...
i love you more now
than i ever thought i would
i ever thought i could...

just say you love me - and that you want me now...
just say you want me - and that you love me now...

close the door
and hold me tight...
don't ever let me go
when i saved your life
you saved me from myself...
don't let that go...

'cos i love you more now
than i ever thought i would
i ever thought i could...
i love you more now
than i ever thought i would
i ever thought i could...

A Fucked Up Lovesong

This is a song written using my Nan's poetry as lyrics. My late Nan must have written this poem around 20 years ago. Amazingly, considering these current Corona Virus times we're living in, the last few lines are; 
'The moral of the tale is just,
don't go out unless you must. 
But stay at home, 
you are safer that way. 
On a very, very windy day.'

Spooky.


Credit the late Marjorie Hall for the poem, and my 7 year old niece Eleanor Savage for the vocals at the end :-)

A Windy Day

Just a man who loves music.

Life can be a struggle sometimes.
