lyrics:
We've been through a lot, a lot of shit
now it's time to fight, fight against
against this depression and evil vibe
this is the time we will take over our lives

We've been submersed deep deep down
we've lost our faith into this evil town
we have to get back, get back to our own feet
we had enough, enough with this shit!

and now we have our head up high
we know what it's true and never dies
and now we step up with god's command
we won't take it anymore, not get stuck into the sand

It won't take forever just to reach our dream
it won't take forever to delete the bad scene
it won't take forever to hold your hand
it won't take forever to the promised land

it won't take forever to live again
it won't take forever to face the sun
it won't take forever, it won't take forever!

Trapped Rat

When I was young I remember watching Bob Geldof of The Boomtown Rats on Top Of The Pops rip up a picture of John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John from Grease. Summer nights had been at number 1 for seven weeks. The Rats had knocked it off to take the number one spot with Rat Trap. 
I was around 11 and thought this guy is so cool and the music and storytelling lyrics captivated me. 
This is the reason I wanted to be a frontman which lead on my journey of music from playing live at Birmingham’s Nec, releasing singles, albums on various labels and finally my last ever band gig selling out Ronnie Scott’s. 
These days I’m more of a bedroom rockstar recording remotely which suits me fine. It’s a young man’s game.
Trapped Rat is a continued story of Rat Trap and how in my head I thought Billy & Judy ended up 45 years later.
Yes I know it’s a long track but stick with the story as it’s a short story in song.
Noobly said it’s our Jungleland like Springsteen and I agree with him.
Hope you enjoy the journey because Rat Trap still remains one of my favourite all time tunes. 
And Geldof in his early work was a lyrical inspiration to me. 

V1
Billy rocks from side to side sitting in the darkness 
Hes listening to music that now makes him feel worthless 
The songs they remind him of those younger days 
When he thought he had no future 
And needed to change his ways 

Bridge pre chorus 
And Gorgeous  Judy was the only precious thing 
And he don’t see her no more 
Cause he’s a troubled thing 
Who  are the Rats who are the people 
it’s hard to decide for Billy theses days

V2
Billy don’t leave the house only to go down the offey 
8 on the dot to buy cheap booze and backey 
He still pushes the button to cross that busy road 
He’s now in his early sixties and god he feels the cold 

(Bridge pre chorus )
As the youths are hanging around the yellow streets lights 
In years gone by he would have picked a fight 
Who  are the Rats who are the people 
it’s hard to decide for Billy theses days

Chorus 
Your still  a trapped rat Billy 
Cause you never left the cage 
Your still a trapped rat Billy 
Cause you never left the cage 
Even in your old age x2



V3
Judy made a life with some hot shot lawyer
And her life with Billy is just something that annoys her
And when she arrives she pictures the Italian cafe 
It’s new bricks and mortar shes now visiting her and Billy’s daughter 

V4
Judy now in the bracket of middle classes 
And now drinks her coffee in double walled borosilicate glasses
And now 50p is  the least of her worries & cares 
She lives the highlife with panache grace &  flair

(Bridge pre chorus)
She don’t speak of Billy and nights spent together 
She as her own family from the land of never never 
She knows the rats 
She know the people 
It’s not hard for Judy  to decide these days
These days 

Chorus

Ash to ash
Dust to Dust
Here we go again
I pray to god but I swear
I don't think his listening
I fear the man in the mirror
worse than the Boogie Man!!
I held my mothers rosary inside my hand
Baby if you really know who I am
I don't think you would want to hold really my hand!!

London Bridge has fallen down!!
The sky has turned to red!!
The oceans fill with blood!!
I am the Monster here!!
The mask has fallen down!!
I'm the monster now!!
I hope you run!!

Monster (HoboCop x RENTT)

Baby, here I am
I'm the man on the scene
I can give you what you want
But you got to come home with me
I've got some good old lovin'
And I got some more in store
When I get through throwin' it on you
You gotta come back for more
Boys and things that come by the dozen
That ain't nothin' but drugstore lovin'
Hey little thing, let me light your candle
'Cause, mama, I'm sure hard to handle now, gets around

Action speaks louder than words
And I'm a man of great experience
I know you got another man
But I can love you better than him
Take my hand, don't be afraid
I'm gonna prove every word I say
I'm advertising love for free
So you can place your ad with me
Boys will come along, a dime by the dozen
That ain't nothing but ten cent lovin'
Hey little thing, let me light your candle
'Cause, mama, I'm sure hard to handle now, gets around

Yeah
Hard to handle now
Oh, baby

Baby, here I am
I'm the man on your scene
I can give you what you want
But you gotta come home with me
I've got some good old lovin'
And I got some more in store
When I get through throwin' it on you
You gotta come runnin' back for more
Boys will run along, a dime by the dozen
That ain't nothin' but drugstore lovin'
Hey little thing, let me light your candle
'Cause, mama, I'm sure hard to handle now, gets around

Ya, so hard to handle now

Boys will run along, a dime by the dozen
That ain't nothing but ten cent lovin'
Hey little babe, let me light your candle
'Cause, mama, I'm sure hard to handle now, gets around
Aww
So hard to handle now
Oh, yeah
Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby

I got to have, oh yeah
So hard to handle, now, yeah

Hard To Handle

'courage'

Moments often can not be rehearsed. 
And we're left wishing that we could reverse
time to change our ways.
Oh, what I've come to learn with age
is I've had it in myself this whole time. Courage. 

Strength to walk away without resolve.
Pain that dissipates when I'm absolved
solely from the blame.
Yet, how quickly truths can change
when it's rearranged to suit the needs of all. 

I've been living in an opened cage.
My freedom is my own yet I'm afraid
to spread my wings and fly
from all the years I've lived this lie.
But the time has come for me to break these chains.

courage

OBFUSCATED by Paploviante // Alto Sax Remix

Another relic from the lockdown vault...

I wrote and recorded this at the end of 2020 (hence no mention of the events of Jan 6th 2021) but never released it at the time for various reasons. 

Given recent events I thought why not clean it up and put it out. 

Just a bit of haaahmless fun as Arnie might say :)
