The second song to be released under the name ‘Continental Collision’ but this time with special guest and good friend Dave McKeown. Rodolfo first let me hear the original basis for ‘Boring Town’ back in June, yet somehow he didn’t sound excited about it. However from the first I knew it could be great. I was looking for the story in those two words as well as in the mood of the music and fortunately it came quite quickly and fitted like a glove. Singing this was a challenge for me, like everything we do, but it was exhilarating. I had introduced Rodolfo to Dave’s cloud and it felt right that we should ask Dave to help us complete the song. I hope we will have the opportunity to work with him again soon.

When I look around I see the light’s gone out this town,
Realising just a bit too late.
Streets have all gone quiet and feels like all the wires are down.
Tell me why I’m feeling in this state?
Not so long ago we felt that we’d be happy here,
Not just for now, but for always.
That’s all turned around now at least that much it is clear,
Not the old days, instead separate ways.
Like the loser on a game show.
Can you tell me where did all the fun go?
Darling without you,
It’s such a boring town,
Only coz you’re not around.

The bar, where we first met, is still there, though I never go,
Realised it’s lost its old appeal.
Crossing the park, where we might meet and stop to say hello,
Couldn’t deal with how it made me feel.
All the places we once loved I feel I must avoid
Not just for now, but for always.
I no longer know what I want, I feel I’m paranoid,
Not the old days, instead separate ways.
Like the loser on a game show.
Can you tell me where did all the fun go?
Darling without you, where did the love go?
Such a boring town,
Only coz you’re not around.

Can I Still Love?
Music and Lyrics by Mike Krath

I see a shadow,
on the wall,
is it her?
I don’t know,

I hear a hand scrape,
across my door,
is she back?
I can’t guess. 

On and on,
life goes on,
I’ve gotten old,
and the beat of my heart is weak,
can I still love?

I smell a face 
from distant past,
is she here?
Not a hint. 

I feel her pains, 
that once were real,
by me?
I don’t know. 

On and on,
life goes on,
I’ve gotten old,
and the beat of my heart is weak,
can I still love?

Can I Still Love?

I recall I wrote most of the melody of this song inside my head while travelling and on some pre-written lyrics.  However when I got down to the singing, I couldn't cope with some of the notes.  I'm so glad Terry came to the rescue and did a marvelous job here.    He also brought some very nice tweaks to the melody, lyrics & harmony arrangement.  Hope you like our collaboration.

[LYRICS]
Skies, inconsistent skies, bring uncertainty
Rain, incessant rain, keeps on pouring...(pouring down)
Hopes, elusive hopes,
Only keep us dreaming
Endless waiting is the saddest place to be

Oh I have tried so many times to do the best I can
Somehow it doesn't seem to matter at all
I ask myself what I'm gonna do when all's been done and fallen through
Now I'm standing with my back to the wall

(Chorus)
Life, everyday sort of life,
Living everyday through the rain and shine
World, this ruthless world,
Keeps on spinnin' in time
Empty days, and rocky ways,
Far too many for us to face
It's been one of ….......
It's been one of…........
It's been one of those days
It's been one of those days

Instrumental break

Repeat Chorus

It's been one of, it's been one of….
It's been one of those days

One Of Those Days (featuring Terry Wigmore)

“You’ve to die a few times before you actually live.” – Charles Bukowski

Window Pain

Space Traffic

I can’t stop the time from passing
I can’t stop time…
How would I not know you
Sister in spirit brother in arms
Taking comfort in the absurd
The fleeting joy of transient bodies
And strange faces
How would I not love you
How would I not pursue you
Weapons of indifference
Shields of sarcasm
Do not deter the ardent adventurer

If the metal used to treat a tooth happens to be of a particular composition,it is said that it reacts with saliva and may receive broadcast radio waves.

The radio in my head keeps talking.
It works similarly to an ore radio.

The audio received in this way is conducted through the teeth to the forehead bone and sounds in the head like a radio.
This is a very rare phenomenon, but.

The radio in my head keeps talking. 
It's not you that's crazy, it's the world.

My wife is suspicious of my behavior.
All I want to do is protect you.

Too much information has been pouring out of the radio in my head these past few days.
It is hard to determine what is true but it's easy to choose what I want to believe.

The radio in my head keeps talking. 
It works similarly to an ore radio.
