In B

Superficial

As I drove through dusty country 
Trying to find my way back home
I was thinking of the future and
Whether I would stay alone.

I had met her in a bar 
And she had left me the next day
As she always did
But she left me wishing she could stay

Only met her for a few brief hours
Long enough to realise
Long enough to realise
That she was only superficial,
Clearly superficial
She was superficial

Despite all of my misgivings
I could not make her disappear 
And she occupied my mind
Even though she wasn’t there

She had made a big impression
With her laugh and with her looks
But I knew that I meant nothing to her
She had other hooks

Only met her for a few brief hours
Long enough to realise
Long enough to realise
That she was only superficial,
Merely superficial
She was superficial

I didn’t need her to be
My girlfriend or my wife
Artificial but hypnotic
And she’ll shred somebody’s life

So I carried on my journey
Tried to wipe her from my mind
I knew there were lots of 
better women I could find

But I couldn’t purge her memory
She had burrowed deep inside
She continued to distract me
And I knew my hands were tied

I didn’t need her to be
My girlfriend or my wife
Artificial and hypnotic
And she’ll shred somebody’s life

Elevation in C - Instrumental

This was the title instrumental track on my second album, which featured all instrumentals. Daryl Greenway recorded a lovely vocal version with different lyrics, which you can hear on my Collaborations playlist. This is a new version, with completely new lyrics.

Mellow Heart

Her gentle kindness
Makes everyone love her
Considerate and thoughtful 
Like no other
She calms each situation 
With which she’s dealing
Prioritises people
And their feelings

She has a mellow heart
Which is compassionate and clear
And makes the most destructive feelings
Want to disappea-ea-ear

So we complement each other
Everything is good

Mellow heart

That’s why she is the one
I fell in love with 
That’s why she is the one
To spend my life with 
I know whatever worries 
We may go through
She’ll act as my protection 
And we’ll flow through

She has a mellow heart
Which is compassionate and clear
And makes the most destructive feelings
Want to disappea-ea-ea-ear

So we complement each other
Everything is good

Mellow heart
Mellow heart

That’s why she is the one
I fell in love with 
That’s why she is the one
To spend my life with
