Got a thought in my head that trees have got it sorted and they wouldn't want to live on Mars!!

WE DONT NEED IT

Searched too many places looking for what I’ve lost
Used up all my aces now I’m counting out the cost
I cannot live another day without a sign to show the way
I should go I should go

If I could be anything I’d be the longest train
Rolling through the countryside in sunshine and in rain 
I would be happy making dreams come true
And taking people just like you away

You can wait a lifetime for your ship to come to shore
Hesitating contemplating waiting at your door
Holding on for so long, holding on for someone 
Holding on to what’s gone down before

Nowadays I spend my time breathing in my day
Settle down boy let it go I can still hear my mother say
I’m not so foolish to believe that what you lose you can retrieve
I let it go, I let it go …………….

LET IT GO

Simply Christmas Time
Verse 1
Her sleepy eyes are whispering his name
He’s leaving now the time has gone so soon
His footsteps leave a thread she holds so close 
In frozen snow beneath a watchful moon
She gazes from her window all is still
Her fingers trace his outline on the pane
A friendly snowman looks her way and smiles
It’s just a Simple Christmas time again
Verse 2
A star shines brightly in the midnight sky
A mother gently rocks her new-born son
Shepherds bow in holy adoration 
Yet manger straw the baby sleeps upon
She bows her head, to speak a mother’s prayer 
She cradles the sacred and divine
My Lord, these things I do not understand 
The answer is its Simply Christmas time
Verse 3
By candlelight she watches his return
A distant bell rings out a lonely call
She lights a fire and makes a paper tree
And looks to find his shadow on the wall     
A love that’s born two thousand years ago
Is here and now and always shall remain
She pulls him close and softly says hello 
It’s just a Simple Christmas time again

SIMPLY CHRISTMAS TIME ( Collab with Gary A McMahon)

Queen of Punk
MEETING AT EIGHT BY THE OLD SCHOOL GATE LIKE IN DAYS GONE BY
HE IS CARRYING A FEW MORE POUNDS, SHE’S STILL HAS SPARKLY EYES
HEY IT’S GONNA BE OK SHE HEARS HIM SAY WE GOT TODAY
 
HE REMEMBERS HER MOHAWK CROP SHE WAS THE QUEEN OF PUNK
HE USED TO POP DOING THE POGO HOP LIKE A JUMPING JACK ON SKUNK
THOSE NIGHTS THEY ENDING UP IN FIGHTS POLITICAL RIGHTS BENEATH THE SMOKEY LIGHTS 

SHE WAS YOUNGER FILLED WITH HUNGER BREATHING WORDS OF FIRE
HE WAS LIGHTNING FAST AND FRIGHTENING SCREAMING WITH DESIRE
TO LIVE EVERYDAY ON THE WIRE
 
THEY WANDERED DOWN TO THE TAVERN IN TOWN WHERE HER LOVE FOR HIM HAD DIED
SHE SAID THE YEARS HAD FIXED HER FEARS AS SHE KISSED HIM WITH TEARY EYES
IT SEEMS THAT ALL OF HIS DREAMS LIKE HIS FADED JEANS HAVE COME ALIVE TODAY

THEY ARE OLDER BLOOD RUNS COLDER BUT LOVE IS ON THEIR SIDE
TIME HAS TAKEN THEIR HEARTBREAK AND CAST THEIR FEARS ASIDE
HE HAD WAITED UNABATED UNTIL SHE COULD DECIDE
HOLDING HANDS MAKING PLANS THEIR LOVE WON’T BE DENIED 

TO LIVE EVERY DAY SIDE BY SIDE

Queen of Punk

A dark song of love. Turn the lights lowput your ears on and turn it up. You will be surprised.

TREMBLE

The Clock Is Ticking

HOLD YOUR HAND UP

A song about realising you should be who you are!

Hello Life

Dreaming again, that's me. Everyone needs a soul mate.

Live For Today

A rocky love song.
Decided to write a song in a different style than usual. Hope you like it!

Lead guitar Mr Keith Ruddock.

New Years Day

"Just a song that I sing" it dont mean anything
Just some words I want you to Know
To give them to you
Well its all I can do
It wont make your painful world go

Calling

A song about being homeless and feeling no one cares. Not a sad song but a song of hope and peace.

Standing in my Shoes

THE CHURCH WAS COLD I WAS NINE YEARS OLD 
WAITING MY TIME TO CONFESS 
 
SITTING DOWN THERE HAVING TO BARE MY SOUL FOR GODS BLESS                                           
THE PRIEST HE SAID IF YOU DON’T COME TO CHURCH
                   
YOU’LL BE ALL ALONE AT YOUR DEATH 
HOW CAN YOU SIN AT NINE YEARS OLD I TASTED THE WINE FROM HIS BREATH

Take A Breath

YOU

IM NOT TO GOOD WITH TIME TAKE IT DAY BY DAY                             
NEVER GOT NO PLAN I TAKE WHAT COMES MY WAY  
IVE ALWAYS BEEN THE SAME NO MATTER HOW I FEEL
BUT WHEN I DANCED WITH YOU I KNOW MY TIME IS REAL

IM NOT TO GOOD AT TALK I NEVER KNOW WHAT TO SAY
IF THERES SOMETHING ON MY MIND I JUST LET IT SLIP AWAY
WORDS FALL AROUND MY FEET WAITING TO BE FREE
AND WHEN IM BY YOUR SIDE I SPEAK SO EASILY


IM NOT TO GOOD ALONE I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO          
I WANDER ON MY OWN THINKING ABOUT YOU 
IT’S A BURDEN I CAN HOLD IT’S A CROSS THAT I CAN BEAR
IM LOOKING OUT MY WINDOW AND SOON YOU WILL BE HERE

IM NOT TO GOOD AT LOVE I CAN NEVER MAKE THE CALL
IN THE SOFTNESS OF YOUR EYES IS WHERE I SLOWLY WANT TO FALL 
I KNOW WITH YOU I FEEL LIKE NOTHING ELSE BEFORE
                                
JUST TO BE WITH YOU FOR NOW AND EVERMORE
JUST TO BE WITH YOU FOR NOW AND EVERMORE

A song written for help the heroes. A song of peace and of hope.

I'm just a Soldier

SOON BE CHRISTMAS

Trip the light Fandango, a special time with a special person. A memory to keep and hopefully revisit. Put some fire in your bones!!

TRIP THE LIGHT FANDANGO

If we can sing then we can hear a song  
 
If we can dance then we know we belong 

If we can love then we can be as one 
                                      
But we gotta have faith if we wanna be strong 


If we can cry we let our feelings show 

If we feel pain then we can let it go 

If we can smile then we will always know 

What it is to be alive in this beautiful world

I GIVE TO YOU THIS SWEET BOUQUET

SWEET BOUQUET

Welcome SoundClouder’s and let’s keep music as it is meant to be alive and free. My songs are mostly personal feelings that I have tried in my way to set to a tune. Some are simple structures; others are layered to some extent. I use various guitars to record with including an Aria electro acoustic and a Martin ( sold my car to buy this baby) I compose my stuff on a beat up old cheap classical guitar which I throw about the place when nothing is happening! I believe that through music we can experience highs and lows and I hope that within my songs you can feel some attachment.
 If you would like to collaborate on a project drop me a line, music knows no bounds!
 Keep playing and listening and most of all keep music live!
Take care friends
Peter
