Unlike our previous two collabs, Dan does lyrics, vocals and lead guitars on an instrumental by me.
I made a 7/4 track for him, knowing he can sail odd waves, and here you are the fantastic result !!

Verse 1:
A promise was made
And It shouldn’t fade
The words were spoken
Then they was broken

We were in the bright sunshine
I thought she was mine
It’s not something you can pawn
And asa now she is gone

I was here forever beau
It was years ago

Verse 2:
But I thought it still held
Like a solid weld

A promise is a promise
Even for a doubting Thomas
It should carry some weight
It doesn’t have an expiration date

But a last I find
That things can unwind
And we are not together
In this Summer weather

Verse 3:
She made her assurance
But I had no insurance
From the broken promise she made
Yes our romance began to fade

Now I am in the dark
What was there was just a spark
Now I Don’t know
Which way to go

No direction in my life
Yes I’m living in such strife
Wondering if life means anything
My joy has no more spring

I am that sad guy you passed by
Not noticing the tears in his eyes

IfYouPlease

I
I believe 
This world could be much better
If you please

A little bit smarter
A whole lot kinder 
So much better
If you please

Designer chains
Of revolving debt
A World of hurt 
From the top percent
To feed 
The greed 
Of pigs 
At the trough
Getting fat 
On others loss 

I
I believe 
That we can do much better
If you please

I 
I believe 
This world can be much better
For you and me

A little bit smarter
A whole lot kinder 
So  much better
If you please

Designer chains
Of revolving debt
A World of hurt 
From the top percent
To feed 
The greed 
Of pigs 
At the trough
Getting fat 
On others loss 

I
I still believe 
This world could be much better
If you please

And D.E.I.
Is not a crime

I believe
I believe

Welcome to my latest trilogy based on the famous children’s novel, ‘Alice in Wonderland.’ I’m a complete aficionado when it comes to film posters and album covers, so I hope you won’t mind me using a bit of poetic license introducing this series of tracks.

Part One:
Our story begins in the tiny Village of Daresbury in Cheshire, just off the busy A558. The village has a pub called the ‘Ring O’ Bells,’ which was once the courthouse. More famously, it boasts the church of All Saints, built in the 12th century. Two windows in the church give a clue to a famous inhabitant. They depict characters from the book, ‘Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.’ The book’s author, Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, was born here on 27th January 1832. Charles later became known in the literary world under the pseudonym of Lewis Carroll. The gentle rolling hills nearby and the white rabbits that occupied them were thought to have inspired his first thoughts for the legendary novel.
Trivia: Lewis Carroll's pen name was derived from his real name, Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. He used a clever wordplay by Latinising "Charles Lutwidge" to "Carolus Ludovicus," then translating it back into English, resulting in "Lewis Carroll."
Part 2 of his story follows on the next track…

Alice No. 01 (Trilogy)

TWAYNE-COLD,COLD HEART.wav

New song written and performed by David Cooper.

Lyrics:

High in a mountain sky
Feel yourself fly
Oh spread your wings

Run across the forest floor
Running by a sparkling stream
Just follow your dream

Chorus

Be, will you be the one
Be, will you be the one
Be, ah set us free
Baby let’s run

See, see the eagle fly
Across the sky
Over the mountains high

Fly away
Above the trees
To a place you need to be, need to be

Chorus

Solo

Chorus x 2

Baby, Let's Run

Lyrics:
Are there far and dark countries teeming
I have to see
Life's too dull, I wait patiently

I'm slipping past and stealing where I can
Stealing as much as I can stand
Cannot be cold, cannot be buzzing all the time
Life's dull strain, looking for a hill to climb

Every line and shape perfectly defined
Every color detailed and brilliant
Life's too dull, even the great can't live with it

Mirage music and poetry and letters
Language we love to say
Life's too dull, and gets in the way

Sylph male circling me, come together when I breathe
Life's too dull, that's what we achieve

Nothing has started, nothing has come through
I'd like to stay after school
I don't even know what it is I've held on to
Life's dull strain, what do I want to do

I treat you like you're in short supply
Life's too dull, I can't imagine why

The mother's sins have won
Life's too dull, we've barely just begun

Arms crossed at wrist, held tight
Shadow of a dove
Flies across the beam moonlight
Casting on the wall
Life's too dull, it's not a dove at all

Baseball and stadium
The summer scorching heat
Life's too dull, and incomplete

There are too many questions
But I don't want answers, I just want to feel
Life's too dull, form of a habitrail wheel

Pesticide perpetrators at beck and call
Herding unique tales to a cliff to fall
But then I don't want to sparkle
Or have the gold wash over the aerial
I'd rather be blank and small
Life's too dull, since I grasp the sprawl
I'd rather be blank and small

Mirage music and poetry and letters
Language we love to say
Life's too dull, let's be on our way

Lyrics: 
Another shooting in the news, it made you sad and angry
You couldn’t get the images out of your head
You thought you’d get involved and maybe protest or send some money
But you’re sending out your thoughts and prayers instead

We’ll clean up the broken glass, allow more time to pass
And the next time it happens; we’ll just send out more thoughts and prayers again
We’ll wipe up the blood from the floor, say we can’t take it anymore
Thoughts and prayers are free; there’s no skin in the game for you and me

The images they really got you very angry
You tell yourself it’s time to stand and fight
Then you drink a few beers, and you binge watch all night on Netflix
And the next day everything feels all right

Sitting in your easy chair, sending out a thought and prayer, thinking maybe you should do more
But you’re just a cog in the machine, besides the world is cruel and mean
And really, it’s just easier to ignore

Thoughts and prayers, blowing a bunch of hot air
Maybe someday you’ll turn your platitudes into action
You go about you’re your busy day, hoping there’s a better way
but you spin your wheels and don't get any traction

Thoughts & Prayers

Star crossed lovers with an arson problem. A mini musical movie about lovers on the run...
Added to the album: "Curiosities Of Outsider Art" (Sept  2025)

(Act 1: Young lovers on an arson spree)
Lyrics:
She puts the gasoline in my truck
And then we drive down
And we like to burn up
Local buildings
And alleys
And trashcans

She likes to come out with me at night
And burn things down
She can't explain it
It's just how she feels
It's what see needs
Simultaneous release
While burning down the Hardee's (a USA restaurant chain)

We got black magic spells right off the shelf
I have a split personality
And I hate Ourselves
We have  a compulsion
To  blow things up
It's all fucked up
Young arsonists in love
Young Arsonists in love (3X)

We have black magic spells
Right off the shelf
The good ones are mixed in
So it makes it hard to tell
We understanding the poetry
Of burning things up
Burning shit up
All fucked up
Young arsonists in love
(End Act 1)


(Act 2 : Chase and capture)
Young arsonists in love (3X)
We're on the run
She says: let's burn down a Chevron

We have black magic spells right off the shelf
The Doctors say we seem alright
But you know that we can't be helped
The Police ask: Is this behavior carnal?
"Officer"
She said:
"Have you forgotten how to marvel?"
Forgotten how to marvel?
