Grey on Grey is the only song in our entire catalogue which was entirely written by Mark, lyrics and lyric melody included. We first performed and recorded this song acoustically with our live band back when Watchglass first began. I cannot help but remember, as an incy wincy thorn in my side, that our bass player, Chris, happened to comment very enthusiastically on the lyrics…, just something like “excellent lyrics,” but as I was the lyricist for the band and he’d never made such a comment on any of my songs, AND because Mark professed himself not to be a lyrics writer (or singer, which he can also do quite beautifully), well it almost felt unfair… almost. I was far too enamoured with the whole new vista of singing songs and writing songs to be put off by lack of a compliment. I just noted it to myself and thanked heavens I was at least able to sing the song and that I was evidently working with an all round song genius (albeit overly humble about some of his skills). This single is a new take on Mark’s masterpiece, Grey on Grey (aka Blind Princess).

Blind princess running down the stars
Playing in the dark
Lit by reflections neon lights wet streets
We all want to shine
So bright

I want to know if you remember
All of my memories
I want mine to fade away
You just leave me hung and haunted now

I’m scattered and he is gone
Just like the rain falling from the heaven
Stain of my eyes are lost
In a kind of grey on grey.

And when you fell on me
Cold yet so soft
You soaked through to my skin
Shivered and I was gone
Lost in a kind of grey on grey
I’m like snow on a summer’s day
I know I’m not meant to stay

I’m scattered and he is gone
Just like the rain falling from the heaven
Stain of my eyes are lost
In a kind of grey

Playing in the dark
Running down the stars
Blind princess
Playing in the dark
Running down the stars
In a kind of grey

Grey On Grey

The acoustic idea I presented to Mike to evolve was based on the idea of creating a Beatles meets The Doors vibe.
Magic Mike worked his wonderful skill ranges including his great harmonies and invited Axel on board to give it the Doorsey Hammond/Wurlitzer sound.
A massive thanks for their incredible contributions and for being just really good people. 
The second one from me & Mike on This Sound Society project.
Hopefully more planned for the future but I think Mike is far to popular as everyone wants a piece of him. The word prolific can’t even keep up with him !
His turn out of songs is truly remarkable so if you haven’t already listened to his music go and check him out under Mike Fox along with Axel Menningen. 
I hope you like it may be a bit of a grower for some but it’s just a fun quirky pop tune.

Polly-Anna Swift (Brownie, Fox & Menningen)

Chorus 
oh Miss Polly~Anna  Swift
I know I should’ve of kissed 
Your red glossy lips 
Oh Miss Polly ~ Anna Swift
They looked so inviting 
like a  perfect gift
Oh Miss  Polly-Anna Swift
I thought you were forever the optimist 

V1
Your world is fluffy pink and perfectly round 
My world is spiky a little ugly & loud 
And When two worlds collide 
We need to compromise 
Put  our differences aside 
That’s  better now you smiled

Chorus 

V2 
So what’s my chances as i can be optimist
Did I blow it for you so I could taste your lips 
I’m hoping your thinking some good comes out of this
Even if it’s unlikely to be Mrs instead of Miss 

Finish on Chorus

Live Reflexion#017

The North Pole was melting 
And fearing a catastrophe
Santa hitched up his reindeer and flew to Washington DC

The Air Force saw him approaching 
They scrambled a fighter jet
They almost shot him down before they realized he wasn’t a threat

They escorted him to the white house 
To meet the president.  
They posed for a photo together and then Santa Started to vent.

He said please mister president
I know you want to drill baby drill
But all those CO2 emissions are making the North Pole ill

He said I’m sorry Father Christmas 
But I’m not interested in energy that’s green
it’s more important to me that we have cheap gasoline
And free Toys made by Elves in the North Pole sounds very nice
But you’re taking away American jobs, so I won’t take your advice

Then Santa said that since the ice will soon melt away
He asked the President if they could move to the USA

He said you and Misses Clause are welcome
because you look just like me
But we can’t have those pointy eared elves
Living here in the land of the free

So Santa flew back to the north pole 
And sitting on the last patch of ice
Was a giant spaceship that even Elon Musk thought looked very nice
The Elves had built it while he was gone
tears of sadness ran down Santa’s face
And they all got on the ship, and they flew off into outer space

Now every Christmas Eve people look up at the sky
And they think about those good old days when Santa used to fly
Toys made by elves in the North Pole sure would be nice
But at least we get to buy our gasoline for a very cheap price.

The North Pole Was Melting

New songwritten by David Cooper and Ralph Donkin.

Performed and produced by David Cooper.

Lyrics by Ralph Donkin:

She was knocking on the door of the age of consent
Almost all grown up waiting for the event
Looking oh so sweet and so innocent

Just a little flattered by her interest
Tried to play it cool but you'd never have guessed 
Feeling overwhelmed but truly blessed

Chorus

Through my eyes I wish you could see
See the things that I can see
And if you take me seriously
We'd be together 
Forever in perfect harmony

A penny for your thoughts is not a lot to pay
I'd gladly give a million just to hear you say
You know I think today could be your lucky day

Chorus

Bridge

When you want the present to last
The present soon becomes the past

Solo

Knew where I was going cos I'd been there before
Once bitten, twice shy, I don't care anymore
Think I'll take my chance, that's what life is for

Chorus x 2

Flim Flam

Flim flam, alakazam 
What do you think I got in my hand?
Chump change, people are strange
Some are in debt others in pain?

Hell hounds all around
Showing their teeth, smelling the ground
Fish fry, sounds like a lie
I wouldn’t accept, but I wouldn't deny

Flim flam
Flim flam 
Flim flam 

Topsy turvy, roads are curvy
He’s too shy and she’s too nervy
Stars stripes, naughty or nice
It don’t matter, never  think twice

Double trouble, living in a bubble
Coloseums  turn into rubble
Sticks stone, break your phone
too connected and too alone

Flim flam
Flim flam 
Flim flam 

Judge and jury, favors curried
Don’t you like our fire and fury
right wrong, same old song
stand and fight or play along

Flim flam
Flim flam 
Flim flam

Thats the way she moves
Her eyes reflect an elegant silhouette
and her cries sustain me
oh baby, tangle me
to the bed
i want hear you
i want to hear you SQUEAK you love me again
oh, i would tear down this world if it meant i could spend one more hour
caught between your legs
a feverish, tumbling DAZE
don't you move now
ive got you wrapped inside my dream
oh those whines now,
i wanna hear you muffled by the sheets

Thats the way she moves

Ive fallen off the track, and now i cant get back
Fallen off the track and now i cant get it back

(the way she moves)
thats the way that she goes
(the way she moves)
flies away
(the way she moves)
every time
(the way she moves)
every god damned time!

this world cannot take you away from me

The Way She Moves

If You Got Soul

If you got soul
You gotta roll

When I was a boy
It would be easy for me to try
To believe all the words that were written in the books
By the seers and the gods on high
Sky high
There's a lie in the lie
That they want you to buy
It's a lie that you can't ask why
But now I am older
Got that weight off my shoulder
Lift my finger up and point to sky

No soul destroyer's gonna
rock and roll her baby
No state infraction's gonna
Suppress the action now
Insanity attack
Distortion of the fact
Maniacal quack
Dehumanising
An automatic fact
The stick is in the back
Establishments react
Do they see their own writing
On the wall?
Do they see their own writhing
At all?

If you got soul
You gotta roll
And we the people
We gotta get to go

When I was that boy
It would be easier for me to fly
But now I am older
Got that weight off my shoulder
Lift my finger up and point to sky
Sky high
It was a child's sweet ignorance
But oh so little joy
To know I'm further off from heaven
Than when I was a boy

If you got soul
You gotta roll
And we the people
We gotta get to go

Hi! I do have another profile, name beginning with the letter 'Q' but this channel is solely to creatively share fantastic Soundcloud talent!! Wishing all the best to all of you!! - C.

Now, just behind this drawn curtain, beyond this static veil, I know you are there. Like beacons of unfiltered humanity your bravest dreams are real and they reach me even in the most remote and ancient ocean abyss. They are magic. Oh, magnificent invisible gods I’ve been trying to write a poem for you. 

These recordings can be divided into three (Four if you count cover versions of my songs by other SC artists) unfit categories; Butterflies songs, Waltz Bros. Songs and Pall of a Past World songs. Butterflies were a three and four piece band of which I was a member. The band released two albums and several singles 
during it’s run in the mid to late nineties. The Waltz Bros. Is my most current project consisting of myself and Matt Wilson with occasional help from friends. Pall of a Past World consist of things that I’ve done that don’t fit into either of those titles.
