Ok, I've elected this one as my favourite.

I'm Dancing by Trevor Francis featuring Karen Adlard on flute
Adam Grossman on drums
Ray Chapman on Piano
Produced and Arranged by Crox

Lyric by Trevor Francis
Soul searching burning bridges towing the line so that we fit  
Mind blowing circumstances you don't get no second chance 
to dance  
to dance 

Wrong place with the right people bad decisions and then the sequel 
This just builds up and inspires you don't get no second chance 
at life 
with life 

So I'm dancing I am busting  Moves out in the street
and I am asking everybody won't you come and dance with me
Well are you dancing (Are you asking, are you asking me to dance)
Darn right I am asking  (So you're asking, so you're asking me to dance)

The wheels turn and you learn that you don't need to fit 
and all the pieces you have burned they were waiting to be lit 
now your dancing 
now your dancing

I'm Dancing by Trevor Francis

Written during a stay in rehab, I Must Have Took A Wrong Turn dives right into my struggles with addiction, being aware of what your doing to yourself and those around you, but for some reason you still can't stop yourself, how childhood trauma led me to this path, but either way I must except responsibility for my actions. With the extremely talented Ray Jenkins taking the song under his wing to perform on, mix, master and produce, and the amazing Adam Grossman on drums to give it a ska/reggae vibe with a twist.

I Must Have Took A Wrong Turn

SONG 13

David Hill put this music together and I begged to add vocals.
Charlie Watts died when I was working at it so I thought I ought to mention him and Brian Jones, who had waited a long time for Charlie to join him wherever.
All the other lyrics are simply ramblings that fit the musical construction.
"Danny's Pool", at the end, belongs to a friend of mine in Florida.
Thanks David.

Charlie's in the sky with Brian
Way out in the stars they're flying
So much for dying
There goes Lucy, with her diamonds
Clinging to her hair
And her brush and dustpan
She is searching for her father who's not there 
He's lost in space
He's dodged his little girl's embrace

When you're standing on the corner blending with the dark
Standing on the corner blending with the dark
You know those zombies won't be long
Those zombies won't be long
Then you'll be gone
Whoa, you'll be gone

When you're hiding in the alley, hiding from the man
You'd better not choke, you better not show
You'd better not show your hand
You better not trip you better not slip don't let your body down
You gotta be tough keep facing it up
Till the sunrise... comes around
Till the sunrise comes around

Take it like you want it
Make 'em wonder how... they can never make you stop it
Take your penlight, shine it through the clouds
Shine your pen right through the clouds

You better not trip you'd better not slip don't let your body down
You gotta be tough keep facing it up
Till the sunrise comes around
Till the sunrise... comes around

Gonna ease myself... in an ice blue jigger of gin
Gonna ease myself... on the edge of Danny's pool
Where the water's almost cool
And we all dive in to an ice blue jigger of gin
Where we all dive in

Lyrics

He’s been silent so long,
It’s so hard to escape
The scars that can’t be seen
There’s nowhere to belong
Days drift on and on
Can’t sleep, he can’t dream

Can’t do anything right,
Can’t do anything
Hiding from this world,
Hiding from this mirror
Just reflecting his pain,
Just reflecting that
Nothing really matters now

Is sunlight right outside the window?
Is there any reason to be?

Sometimes the smallest of things
Can save a life in the end,
Just got a reach out a hand
You are not alone
You’re not alone,
You are not alone

From this weary bell jar
There’s no way to define
Any colours, they’re all grey.
Memories of life seem far,
So haunting, bizarre
It’s another stormy day

Can’t see anything light,
Can’t see anything
Hiding in this room,
Hiding in this mirror.
A faint reflection of life,
Just reflecting
Is it still worth trying for

Is sunlight right outside the window?
Is there any reason to be?

Sometimes the smallest of things
Can save a life in the end,
Just got a reach out a hand
You are not alone
You’re not alone,
You are not alone

Winter Calls

For Eva...

All your life I've had my hand on your shoulder
To guide you on your way and catch your fall 
And now that you're that little bit older
I know it's time for you to walk alone

And I'll hold on tight as I let you go
I'll burst with pride but you'll never know
I'll play it cool, won't let it show
You're my fearless, independent soul

I remember the first time I held you
The months I'd waited couldn't have foretold
The feelings that overwhelmed me
You took my breath, you took my heart, you took my soul

And I'll hold on tight as I let you go
I'll burst with pride but you'll never know
I'll play it cool, won't let it show
You're my fearless, independent soul

The Blues Is Nothing
© 2021 S. Collingwood, R. Cochrane & J. Merritt
Wake up from dreaming, 
Where nightmares are nothing new, 
Break up from loving,
When loving has nothing for you.
But recall the pain and go there again
The blues is nothing but history ignored.

You won’t learn from this 
You won’t heed my call
You won’t believe me
No, not at all
Until you’ve been here 
And walked in my shoes
My shoes, my blues
Until you’ve made the mistakes 
That everyone makes
The blues is nothing but history ignored.

The blues is nothing,
But a history in song, of every wrong
The blues is nothing but history ignored.
