Eve and I were travelling in the Northern Territory a while back when the line "I'm not a love song kind of guy" came to me. I thought it was such an obvious title for a country song that there must be a few songs like it around. As best I could I searched for and failed to find those songs. I figured that the song needed to exist so I thought I'd better write it. This is what I came up with.

Verse 1
I started writing songs some time ago
Don't know why I guess that I just decided to give it a go
I would write about this or that anything i could
I didn't know and hardly cared if it was any good
But I never touched the theme of love, I really don't know why
It occurred to me I might not be a love song kind of guy

Verse 2
At first that didn't bother me, I had a lot to say
Just me and this old guitar, I was still learning to play
But as I learned to weave my words between and around a tune
I'd try my hand at a song of love but it always seemed too soon
Over time it became a missing piece - something I could not deny
By and by I decided I'm not a love song kind of guy


Bridge
I'm inclined to write a line to make you think or smile
Or find something in my words that'll make my song worthwhile
But when it comes to you and me all my words run dry
I guess I'm not a love song kind of guy

Verse 3
It all changed a while ago when everything turned real
Now it's important to me to express the way I feel
But I don't know how to say that your smile lights up my day
Or how much love I feel for you but don't have the words to say
I can't make the words work no matter how I try
I have to face that it's not my place to be a love song kind of guy

Love Song Kind of Guy

Love Song Kind Of Guy

YOU'RE GOING NOWHERE

WITH ALL YOUR FEARS, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
WITH ALL YOUR SORROWS, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
¿ARE YOUR GODS BY YOUR SIDE?
¿WHO IS SITTING NEXT TO YOU?
WHERE DO YOU WANT TO ESCAPE TO?
WHEN THIS CITY IS BURNING
YOU HAVE TO HURRY, TIME IS RUNNING

YOU ARE GOING NOWHERE
YOU ARE GOING NOWHERE

FOLLOWING IDEAS
WHAT THEY SAY
SOUNDS VERY NICE
I WOULD LIKE TO GO TOO
MAKING YOU A SLAVE
MAKING YOU A FOOL
ALL THAT DRIVES YOU CRAZY
LIFE HAS NO RULES

YOU HAVE TO FREE YOUR MIND
AND GO NOWHERE

Nowhere

This song was written while I was going through cancer treatments. It's a song about my faith and the love of my spouse who I leaned on every day.

LYRICS (Lennon/McCartney)

I am he as you are he, as you are me and we are all together.
See how they run like pigs from a gun. 
See how they fly.
I'm crying.
Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come.
Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody Tuesday.
Man, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long.

I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo-goo g'joob.

Mister City policeman sitting pretty little policemen in a row.
See how they fly like Lucy in the Sky, see how they run
I'm crying, I'm crying.
I'm crying, I'm crying.

Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog's eye 
Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess.
Boy, you been a naughty girl. 
You let your knickers down.

I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo-goo g'joob.

Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun.
If the sun don't come, you get a tan from standing in the english rain.

I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo-goo g'joob, g'goo goo g'joob.

Expert textpert choking smokers.
Don't you think the joker laughs at you?
See how they smile like pigs in a sty, see how they snied.
I'm crying.

Semolina pilchard, climbing up the Eiffel Tower.
Elementary penguin singing Hari Krishna
Man, you should have seen them kicking Edgar-Allan-Poe.

I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo-goo g'joob, g'goo goo g'joob
Goo goo g'joob, g'goo goo g'joob, g'goo...

The Young Departed

I aint gonna let nuntin
get inbetween me and that mufuckin gold
least you got something
These days its so hard to keep hold of ya soul
You have no option
Its either him or go and take the high road
Dont make assumptions
that mac 11 will light up on the low

I know enough and
I think I can identify my own enemy
Wait up tell him go and bring the right energy
Demons draw closer what has gotten into me
Pop that mufucka head just like a kennedy
You not the same my trigger finger finicky
Set fire flame to these spirits and entities
Tell em that they can go burn in hell literally

Wake me from this slumber
Somebody call my number

Motherfuckers forget what it means to be mortal
You dont know shit bitch you aint got a time portal
These mufuckas think they think can go still my cadence
But they cant reach deeper then mufuckin coral

How does it end ima go bank on the set
The devil has not got away with it yet
Im Spittin in tongues just to get out of debt
Get closer to god when I hop on a jet

Know them by name no demon I aint met
Sola Fide fuck that go and get wet
Best to go Walk the line like you were johnny cash
But its cold outside though so go wear a jacket

Glorified now I was once just a wreck
Done Came from the bottom was up to my neck
Still i gotta keep me both a mac and a tek
Guess its fuck this shit ima have to resurrect

I aint gonna let nuntin
get inbetween me and that mufuckin gold
least you got something
These days its so hard to keep hold of ya soul
You have no option
Its either him or go and take the high road
Dont make assumptions
that mac 11 will light up on the low

I know enough and
I think I can identify my own enemy
Wait up tell him go and bring the right energy
Demons draw closer what has gotten into me
Pop that mufucka head just like a kennedy
You not the same my trigger finger finicky
Set fire flame to these spirits and entities
Tell em that they can go burn in hell literally
