The Excellent Drums @rick-4-1
The Other Stuff @phil-mcwalter

A Japanese dance troupe celebrating Hinamatsuri discovered this dangerous waltz procedure inside an un-pulled and otherwise empty Christmas cracker in an underground bunker in Buckingham Palaces' grounds after an early Spring  garden party. 

It is a secret service adaption of a native South African weaponised waltz; used to protect one from unwanted advances for several minutes when sober. 
(Allegedly less effective if cardboard party hats are present in large numbers.)

To initiate the strike just shout the trigger  "hitch-hiker" to the band leader who will immediately start the secret count (1 and 2 and 3 and 1 2 3 and 4)and the following melee of winded dancers and limb dislocations should ensure a safe exit for the agent. 

Generally only used as a last resort by UK secret services due to the unpredictable depth of collateral damage and abnormal level of vituperative complaints from adjacent dwellings.

RUNNING AWAY

When you've climbed up the mountain
All you can see are rivers running away
Running away
Running away

Our rivers...

Running away

LORETTA Pt. 1

Oh Loretta
What have you done?

Now the rain is going to wash your high-heeled clicks away
Back the way you came

Oh Loretta
What have you done?
You broke a big man
You made it look fun

Now the rain is going to wash your high-heeled clicks away
Back the way you came

Oh Loretta
What have you done?

BUTTER KNIFE HEAVEN (BOP BOP)

@Rick-4-1: Well, he played drums on this, if you can call it just that. It's something much bigger really, it's like the hairs on the back of your neck on new batteries for the first time in your life.
@phil-mcwalter: Well, just the other stuff.

Enjoy heaven.

PLAY IT LOUDER

Heaven

I think I had forgotten 
How to fall in love
I got it right first time 
When I was young and pure like heaven
But it’s never been as good
In fact it’s been as rough as wood
And it’s splintered me

I sort of forgot
How it's supposed to be hot
And when it had gone cold
And I looked at what I'd got
It was not a lot

I’ve wasted some time 
Heaven
Well most of our lives 
Heaven
It feels like a crime
Sharp as a butter knife
I’ve been spread too thin
By kith and kin

Original sin
But not so original
I should have told the Pope
That there was no hope
And what would you know 
He’d agreed with me
It’s not a great story
Not bloody or gory
You just get one shot
And I must have given mine to someone else
It should have ended my game
But I’ve passed it on
It’s a little bit lame 
Just the same
Like everything else 
Bop Bop
I’m now at a full stop
Bop Bop
It’s just a pensioner’s bus-hop away 
(Anyway)

I think I had forgotten 
How to fall in love
I think I have forgotten (How to say goodbye)
How to end it all

It’s just been a waste
Heaven
A copy and paste 
Heaven 
I haven’t been traced
Lost or misplaced
I feel debased 
And disgraced
It leaves a bitter 
Aftertaste
But I aint crying
I’ve just been sprayed with Mace…

Bop Bop

Heaven…

Loretta - Part II

There was interest in the further story of Loretta (a fictional character originally appearing in The Beatles track 'Get Back' and then revisited in my track 'Loretta - Part I' ), so I wrote this sequel 'Part II'; in which Loretta ignores the advice she receives...

LORETTA- PART I is here: https://soundcloud.com/phil-mcwalter/get-back-loretta

There is an OPEN COLLAB too: https://soundcloud.com/phil-mcwalter/loretta-open-collab

LORETTA - PART II

Loretta Martin
Didn’t want to be another man
All the girls around her say she's got it coming
But she gets it while she can
   She gets it while she can

Sweet Loretta Martin
She broke a big man’s heart
You didn’t have to do it
You shouldn’t have made it hurt
All the girls around you watch the moves you’re making
Tell you to listen to your heart
But you get it while you can 
   She gets it while she can

Oh Loretta...

Older women round you tell you to be careful
But you can steal it from them 
She gets it while she can
  She gets it while she can
The cars waiting at the lights can see you coming
And you please them ‘cos you can
She gets it while she can
   She gets it while she can
   She gets it while she can

What have you done?

Loretta - Pt. 2

INGRID'S HAT

Driving down the coast road
Looking for Ingrid’s hat
It doesn’t matter if we find the beach or not 
With it raining like (that)

Checking the important ones
Went out before midnight
I’d like to think we could be either in or out
To hit the waves like (that)

Oh can we do it?
Oh can we do it tonight?
Oh can we do it?
Can we do it tonight?

They came in in inflatables
But they weren’t looking for Ingrid’s hat
We spent some money dressing up the corpse
No-one had learned a move like (that)

Checking the important ones
Went out before midnight
I’d like to think we could be either in or out
To hit the waves like (that)

Oh can we do it?
Can we do it tonight?
Oh can we do it?
Can we do it tonight?

But we don’t wanna see where the birdie goes

Give me emotion (Bow wow wow)
Lend me the potion (Bow wow wow)
Rub me in lotion (Bow wow wow)
Give me the motion (Bow wow wow)
We need ambrosia
Because it’s cosier
Feed the gods with that bowl 
Feed the gods with that bowl there

Driving down the coast road 
Looking for Ingrid’s hat
It doesn’t matter if we find the beach or not 
With it raining like (that)

Checking the important ones
Went out before midnight
I’d like to think we could be either in or out
To hit the waves like (that)

Oh can we do it?
But can we do it tonight? (Bow wow wow)
Oh can we do it?
Can we do it tonight? (Bow wow wow)

!!!HOT NEWS!!! New Valuable Friends vinyl album and CD available! ALSO 2nd Deluxe CD+Booklet "Songs That Mean Something" See links below. 

Composer/Guitarist/Producer

Songs: We find them unpainted in our hands, throw them up into the air of our imagination, turning them in the colours we see after we close our eyes until they feel just right, and sometimes we catch them perfectly, without blemishing them...

My music is on most platforms for your ease.

Wow!!  417K+ plays and 4,000+ valued followers and friends on SC alone, that provide lots of wonderfully helpful comments that fuel the next track! Really big thanks to the SC community for listening and providing such brilliant feedback and support. It means so much to myself and my collaborators - huge thanks.

I work in different styles, as the inspiration, dreams or bubonic plagiarism comes! I use Logic Pro X on Mac.
 
I write, produce and play all my own stuff (unless otherwise stated), play vintage Tokai Strats mainly, PRS Torero, Steinberger, Gretsch G2627T, Classical, Fender Dreadnought, Yamaha and Rickenbacker basses, keyboards and sax. I use Native Instrument's Komplete, Omnisphere 2 and my own organic samples.

I mix on Sennheiser HD 280 Pro's and HD 650's (closed and open headphones) when not making a bigger noise through my Yamaha HS8 studio monitors. I use Focusrite Clarett 2Pre ThunderBolt and Apogee audio interfaces, Neumann & iSK condenser & AKG dynamic mics. 

Hardware: Feb 1978 Marshall JMP 50W Combo, BOO & BOSS stomps

I love collaborating with other musicians and will compose with, play guitar for, produce, arrange, master or even just hum along with other SC musicians. Please ask!
