When you’re brainstorming ideas for album covers, you never really think they might involve placing yourselves in the middle of a road as traffic bears down on you.  However, that is precisely what we did.
Now I’m not one to tell tales but it was all Gal’s fault.  He thought our front cover  should feature an image of the entire band, which was quite compelling aside from the fact that we lived in London, Hans in Hamburg and have in reality never met.  But Gal had a mate called Dan (who lives in Norfolk, hence the title), a professional photographer whose comprehensive knowledge of Photoshop could bring the three of us together.
We’d always loved the pre-fame, Astrid Kirchherr portraits of The Beatles, taken during their club-playing, Hamburg days and two of these became our template - in focus subject occupying the foreground, covert and blurred figure (in our case, 2  figures) in the distance.
And so it was that, armed with a pin-sharp shot of Hans, we met with Dan to photograph the background scene which, as outlined previously, was in the middle of a busy side road.  Camera in hand, Dan teetered on a plastic crate as Gal and me  dodged back and forth to avoid a plethora of oncoming vehicles - everything from lorries to mobility scooters - who were, on the whole, very accommodating in the circumstances. Some even smiled and waved - at least I think that’s what they were doing…
We owe Dan so much, not only for his consummate skills and kindness but also for laying his life on the line in the name of art.  This song is for him.  (Terry Reeves)

I met a man called Dan holding a magical light
Viewing future moments, giving individual sight
Shadows from Hamburg, combination of skills
Show London reflection of a figure standing still

Chorus:
A flash of light, picture to follow
In black & white, diverse as tomorrow

Stand high in right places, enchanted vision of art
Friend of ageing musicians, sorcery skills from the heart
A Wizard conjuring cover, Kirchherr’s copy of claim
Painting light into a picture, producing Album in frame

Chorus

Viewing from height - sparks of vision
Seeing it tight - artist precision
Know left from right - avoid collision
Negative in sight - develop position

Chorus

Confidence in commitment, enjoying musical tracks
Working four to an image, platinum vinyl plaque 
Black and white cover photo, a clue why, when and who
Monochrome life connections, enjoy vision past to new

Chorus

A feeling it’s time to give a show
A feeling making history grow
A feeling, a feeling only one way to go
A feeling thinking fast going slow
A feeling Duchars photos will glow
A feeling CC one day will all know

Tha Boss with Tha Sauce

Turn that heater up let’s thaw and defrost
heat up that grill as the beat comes across
Blazing out your speaker yeah I’m here to set it off
and of course I keep it dope tha boss with the sauce
like tha boss with the sauce

Seems like they’re all trying to fix me but the mix be dope
I ain’t a rich motherfucker but I sure ain’t broke
I focus on my vision hold on to my hope
this is my life bitches not a practical joke
Ain’t never going to stop keep up stay woke
and don’t act like I owe you cause I put in the work
Ain’t stroking no Egos fuck it if you can’t cope
I’m just doing me and I know the truth hurts
like tha boss with the sauce (X2)

On point won’t stop the game’s not done
I’m coming through step aside or better yet run
if you’re too sensitive go on ———gone
trying to stay positive now let’s get along
Underground independent is how I get down
check the narrative it’s on —-it’s on
how many lives I live sum it up one
how many fucks I give sum it up none
like tha boss with the sauce (X2)

Don’t hate the hustle or the player———-hate the game———-hate the game
it’s easy when you’re judging from the outside ——looking in
recognize the obstacles———suggest you learn the name
still thinking I’m a target —— check your aim—— check your aim
like tha boss with the sauce (X2)

On point won’t stop the game’s not done
I’m coming through step aside or better yet run
if you’re too sensitive go on ———gone
trying to stay positive now let’s get along
Underground independent is how I get down
check the narrative it’s on —-it’s on
how many lives I live sum it up one
how many fucks I give sum it up none
like tha boss with the sauce (X2)

Lyrics:

This day started like any other
Till Zillow hit me in the face
My mind was jumping all around
Is it time that we leave this place?
I’ve kept busy doing what I do
Trying to finish what I start
thing’s change and move so fast
It’s not right to be so far apart

It’s time we groove this thing
It’s time we move this thing

If the humming birds fly in our backyard
and the cool breeze blows real nice
All will be the way it was 
Before we rolled the dice
Ever changing as each day comes
taking count of what it’s all about
Not always easy to navigate though
but making sure there is no doubt

It’s time we groove this thing
It’s time we move this thing
It’s time we groove this thing
It’s time we move this thing
It’s time we groove this thing
It’s time we move this thing

To Arthur

The humans best friend
This most intuitive canine blend
Black and White
You read our clean
Just one scan and our fear speaks scene

Pure, inate
Completely tuned
Give you simple love
Perfect cartoon
The dogs life around here
The freest soul that Earth can steer
Caring humans loving hound
Tamed wolf so tepid
True instinct found

 We over think
We over do
You give us walk
You fetch out blue
Play with us forever friend
Teach us how to read our blend
Lend us your intuitive flare
To Arthur,
We are dog with dare
Pairs to packs
Evolution playbacks
Did we choose you?
Did you choose us?
Either way we're friendship plus

To Arthur

To Arthur (Poem and Notes)

I'm not sure if the song is good or not. I'm pretty sure that is a small song, a result of a little bit of inspiration. I saw myself in the obligation of do it. At least, don't takes us away too much time to listen it. It is like all those songs we don't really like as "You mother should know", from the Beatles (saving a great distance, os course)

Two Birds in a Cage

Lyrics to follow

One note... A buddy just said to me man we are just vessels for songs and if the song wants life it picks one of us. I had never given it too much thought, but this song feels that way at the moment 

I might finally find a straight jacket with this rabbit hole... Music has consciousness Hmmmm... Or better imagined... Could it actually have some pre existing universal intent of some kind which we merely channel...

Plenty of my songs seem alien to me right after I make them as if they came from somewhere else. I know that sounds crazy but I do note the feeling when it's there and move on
