Great song bud. Particularly enjoyed the lyrics on this one. The bass is very cool. 👍

Night and Day

the face you make, night and day
rise and shine, come what may
is this all you would ask of me,
the low hanging fruit from the nearest tree?
I have my pride
tell me, what's your need

stars align, bold and bright

sirens wail, my body aches I
cannot fail or hesitate
this, my dove, my olive branch I
take my lead from given circumstance
 wind in my sail
as I take your hand

I cannot fail, you understand

jumping fences, the open field
no loose change to conceal
useful friend, my tiny empire
to defend, to move and inspire
me at your side
we'll survive if not thrive

taking chances, do or die

Day & Night

The Auditors on "The Flash" on 7th April 2024

Radio Plays - 7th April 2024

You promised the world with the look in your eye
You gave me few words and I wondered why
You kept me close but far from touch
I knew I cared far too much

‘Dance little man
And play my silly games
I said I was a fan
Though I didn’t prove my claims
I might of liked a tune or two
Perhaps I even liked you
But I thought you knew
It’s just a thing that I do’

I hoped in my heart
That when push came to shove
That I would be your sun
And you would be my love.

Dance Little Man

The Only Parachute

In the heartland where the fields stretch for miles
I'm back in my hometown chasing distant smiles
In the stillness of the streets, a silent refrain,
Echoes of a life now lost, haunting in its strain.
And throughout my journey the wind builds a song
It carries me back, to the place I once belonged

I'm a pilgrim in my hometown, tracing footsteps of the past
I'm a pilgrim in my hometown, chasing shadows I once cast
Through the fields of yesteryears, I will gently find my way
I'm a pilgrim in my hometown, where my dreams were made
	
The old oak on Main Street stands solid and strong
Its roots ever deeper, mine seem to be gone 
I can’t tell what’s different, but nothing’s the same
I’d hoped to feel grounded, but I’m weighed down instead
This journey to source has all been in vain
Just shows what I’ve lost, what I won’t feel again
I'm a pilgrim in my hometown, tracing footsteps of the past
I'm a pilgrim in my hometown, chasing shadows I once cast
Through the fields of yesteryears, I will gently find my way
I'm a pilgrim in my hometown, where my dreams were made
 
A letter unsent, a call never made
There was always tomorrow until it was too late
I want to believe there’s a chance for me still
To turn ember to spark, if there’s a way, there’s a will

I'm a pilgrim in my hometown, tracing footsteps of the past
I'm a pilgrim in my hometown, chasing shadows I once cast
Through the fields of yesteryears, I will gently find my way
I'm a pilgrim in my hometown, where my dreams were made

Fields Of Yesteryears

V1
So much confusion
Reality a wonderful illusion
There's insecurity
Danger in the world for all to see

Pre 1
But we don't have the time to fight
Even though it's out of sight
Rid the wrongs and make it right (make it right now)

Ch
They sold me
Cos nobody told me
They fooled me
And Nobody told me

V2
It seems so senseless
To prey, prey on the defenceless
And are you winning ?
Or filling in the hole you've just been digging

Pre 2
Maybe one day the rot will stop
But not until you've reached the top
And you've destroyed the bloody lot

Ch

Bridge
Can you see the suffering each day ?
Can you feel the anger as their homes get blown away ?
Can you see the children on the street ?
Hoping for a future, what a terrifying feat

Final Ch

Nobody Told Me

one of our songs from our debut album "Righteous"  to be released in May 2024

Cheap Talk & Whiskey

Late night drinkin’ downtown bar
Bar-room Queen say she gonna be a star
One more bourbon the bartender bring
Can’t get enough of that thing
Cheap talk ‘n’ whiskey – got a hold on me
Cheap talk ‘n’ whiskey - some other place I gotta be
Hell set ‘em up one time – don’t think about what’s gonna be

Out last night and the night before
Found myself at The Cutting Room Floor
I didn’t mean on stayin’ too long
But one more drink I was gone
Cheap talk ‘n’ whiskey – got a hold on me
Cheap talk ‘n’ whiskey - some other place I gotta be
Hell set ‘em up one time – don’t think about what’s gonna be

Same old thing like yesterday
Nobody listen to a word I say
Wasted words and wasted time
Drive me outa my mind
Cheap talk ‘n’ whiskey – got a hold on me
Cheap talk ‘n’ whiskey - some other place I gotta be
Hell set ‘em up one time – don’t think about what’s gonna be

Cheap Talk & Whiskey

Bonjour!!
Depuis le temps, j'avais besoin de me défouler un peu, du coup j'en profite pour expliquer à quel point je me sens plus proche des canidés que de mes semblables.

Ah, au fait! Neyko, c'est le nom de mon chien. Voici les paroles:

De nature plutôt placide                                     
Fidèle à la meute à laquelle j’appartiens
Le museau long la truffe humide
Confirment que je descends du chien 

C’est une prise de conscience à l’évidence une évidence
En ce jour nouveau je déclare par St Bernard du bout des crocs :
Je suis Neyko

	Lancez au plus loin la balle
	Je la rapporterai	
	La rage, l’emportement brutal
	Je saurai oublier

	Tombez / de l’au-delà d’un arbre, 
	De ce que vous voulez
	Je ne suis pas de vos semblables, 
	C’est un fait 

Je n’ai jamais mordu personne
Ce n’est pourtant pas l’envie qui m’ a manquée
Certains diront que je déconne 
Que je suis bon à enfermer

Dans un chenil de fous
Oh my dog

	Lancez au plus loin la balle
	Je la rapporterai	
	La rage, l’emportement brutal
	Je  saurai oublier

	Tombez / de l’au-delà d’un arbre, 
	De ce que vous voulez
	Je ne suis pas de vos semblables, 
	C’est un fait 

Allez va chercher

Je Descends Du Chien
