Band Of Bullies

Written and recorded late 2013. Performed by Andrea and Scott Koorey.

LYRICS:
I used to play all night, then go out again
But now I can’t stay awake past half past ten
I used to be a prodigy of athletic ability
But my knees are telling me that I’m older now

Tiny grandkids for my dad and mum
Double-digits at a premium
But seventeen-year-old nephews and nieces
Rip that memory into little pieces
It never ceases
I’m older now

And It’s not hard to tell
When your skin goes south
I’m getting on in age
I’m getting on my zimmerframe
I hate to say, but I’m older now

I used to be adorable and sweet
But now the mirror’s pointing out my crow’s feet
Wrinkle lines and smile folds
I look a little like the Dead Sea Scrolls
I suppose I’m older now

Parties were lollies and lemonade
But now each candle represents a decade
Presents were toys and I got lots
But now all I ever seem to get are socks
And I can't play with the box
Cos I'm older now

And It’s not hard to tell
When you put your back out
My joints are not too great
You better check the expiry date
Best before 28
And I’m older now

Getting older ain’t so bad
This morning I looked in the mirror, and could have sworn I saw my dad
Bad back, balding, ageing sore bones
No more silly raging hormones

I think my hair is greyer than before
These old clothes don’t fit me anymore
But what I really want to say
Is things were so much better in my day
But that’s okay cos I’m older now

And it’s not hard to tell
And I say well, well, well
I’m getting on in age
I’m getting on my zimmerframe
I hate to say, but I’m older now
My teeth are getting long
I'm getting used to slower songs
I'm getting on
Cos I'm older now

I’m older now
I’m older now
I’m older now
I’m old...

Older Now

Written for the wedding of my friends Jeff & Ness in 2009, and performed by my wife Andrea, with piano arrangement and accompaniment by Michael Bell.

Amor Verus

A stirring power ballad about the features and specifications of the new Nokia Lumia 800 smartphone. It was written for a work competition, and as a result I won the very phone I sung of my love for.

Lumia

A piece constructed entirely from sounds recorded of my son Halim, who was almost two at the time. Some are of him speaking, singing or otherwise babbling, and there is also piano playing, drum banging and other miscellaneous toddler-generated noises. Recorded and assembled in November 2011.

Higgle - Playtime

I wrote this for a Classic Hits radio competition for NZ Music Month. The challenge was to write a song about this iconic kiwi dessert, featuring the word pavlova and the key ingredients. Pavlova was the winner on the day (as opposed to me).

Recorded 18 May, 2012.

Pavlova Song (It's Real Nice To Have A Slice)

Written/Recorded November 2007. Vocal by Andrea Koorey. All instruments and arrangement by Roger Nesbitt.

Upon Us Now

For Science. For Science. For Science. For Science. Fooooor Science. For Science. Includes a sample from "Hell Yes" by Beck.

Court Jesters Improlympics 2012: Team "For Science!"

Another song written for my son. Recorded November 2012.
