Collaboration with Martyn Hamilton providing the lyrics

Dream Is All I Wanna Do

Little children in a lucid dream state sleepwalk the spirit realm at night guided by shimmering spheres of dancing luminescent light. 

For Kiara, no need for nightmares...ever ;-)x


Your Feet Will Never Touch The Ground

Never coming, never coming, never coming down
Floating in a caravan, a fantasy of love
Looking at the sea below, starry heavens not so far above
Drifting in a magic ship, a perfect harmony
Come on all you people now, are you searching just like me?

Got to get down, got to wake up 
Got to get down and wake up for morning

In the land of golden slumbers
You can find us undercover
If you let your mind discover
You can find the seven wonders
You know it's true

Life is just a dream away
A psyched out surf ride holiday
The stars the moon the sunshine rays
Will light our path
We're never coming down

Your life is but one step away from the psychodrama
Of day to day
The stars the moon the sun all say
We'll guide your path
We're never coming down

Floating in a caravan, a fantasy of love
Looking at the sea below, starry heavens not so far above
Drifting in a magic ship, a perfect harmony
Come on all you people now, you're searching just like me?

Never coming, never coming, never coming down
No we're never going to give it up, we're never gonna give it up
Yeh we're always going to fly so high our feet will never touch the ground
Yeh we're always going to live it up, we're always going to live it up
Our feet will never touch the ground

Carried on a silver cloud, take us to a higher ground
Take us to the freedom there, the love is all around

Never coming, never coming, never coming down

Your Feet Will Never Touch The Ground

Kookly Rose

Thanks to and inspiration from John Lennon's 1968 BBC interview at the National Theatre and the incredibly nostalgic poem 'I Remember, I Remember' by Thomas Hood.

If You Got Soul

If you got soul
You gotta roll

When I was a boy
It would be easy for me to try
To believe all the words that were written in the books
By the seers and the gods on high
Sky high
There's a lie in the lie
That they want you to buy
It's a lie that you can't ask why
But now I am older
Got that weight off my shoulder
Lift my finger up and point to sky

No soul destroyer's gonna
rock and roll her baby
No state infraction's gonna
Suppress the action now
Insanity attack
Distortion of the fact
Maniacal quack
Dehumanising
An automatic fact
The stick is in the back
Establishments react
Do they see their own writing
On the wall?
Do they see their own writhing
At all?

If you got soul
You gotta roll
And we the people
We gotta get to go

When I was that boy
It would be easier for me to fly
But now I am older
Got that weight off my shoulder
Lift my finger up and point to sky
Sky high
It was a child's sweet ignorance
But oh so little joy
To know I'm further off from heaven
Than when I was a boy

If you got soul
You gotta roll
And we the people
We gotta get to go

Lessons

Across The Universe (John Lennon)

秋ノ夜長二君想フ

----------------
「きみが好きだ」　「きみが好きだ」って
　何度も　何度も　心の壁にスプレー吹き付け
「きみが好きだ」　「きみが好きだ」って
　洗っても　洗っても　落とせない汚れが　心にたまる

明日を気にする余裕も　あたしの心のどこにもなかったよ
あなたと過ごす今だけは　生きてる　確かに　感じていられるよ
出会えた奇跡がここから　刻み出す　走り出す　心のまま動くだろ？

もう残り時間がないよ　次までこれじゃ足りないよ
あたしにはこれしかないの　嫌いになってもイヤになれないの

「きみが好きだ」　「きみが好きだ」って
　何度も　何度も　ぼくの中で裏返してみても 
「きみが好きだ」　「きみが好きだ」って
　泣いても　笑っても　涙で曇る　夜明けの空模様

原色で描ける未来が　ここにはあるから　あなたと見てみたい
あなたと唄う今だけは　生きてる　確かに　感じていられるよ
出会えた奇跡がここから　刻み出す　走り出す　心のまま動くだろ？

もう残り時間がないよ　次までこれじゃ足りないよ
あたしにはこれしかないの　嫌いになってもイヤになれないの
憧れた景色なんて　誰かだけのものじゃないわ
震えるほど生きてるって　身も心も感じてたいの　あなたと...

「きみが好きだ」　「きみが好きだ」って
　何度も　何度も　あたしの中で裏返してみるわ
「きみが好きだ」　「きみが好きだ」って
　最後の最後に　あなたの心にあたしを残して

image not my own

For Monkey.
life can often be upside down, inside out and back to front
but we should never give up.
Contemplation is okay, it can make us re-evaluate, help open our eyes to the beauty and the majesty in all that surrounds us.

Song:
I'll see you later my sweet alligator, far away from here.
I'll see you later on my sweet alligator, cause I'm moving on.
Far away from here.

This thing won't leave me alone, so I'm off there on my own,
have to find some kind of peace gotta be out there, somewhere.
This thing just won't let go, it's chewing up my bones,
creeping and a crawling inside me.

I'll see you later my sweet alligator, far away from here.

This thing won't leave me alone, so I'm off there on my own,
have to find some kind of peace gotta be out there, somewhere.
This thing just won't let go, it's chewing up my bones,
creeping and a crawling inside me.

Do You Know My Name?

Just you and me (Three Photons, December 2018)

Thanks so much to Rene (Para Lia) and Andrew Borderick for listening to an early versions of this tune....

Hope you like some part of it - Cheers, TJG.

If I could see you
just one more time
I'd be good to you
all the time

It was just you and me
we were drifting through the night
it was just you and me
we were running through the night
we were drifting through the night
it was just you and me
we were running through the night

I think I saw you 
at Lions Bay
sipping coffee
at my favorite cafe

It was just you and me
we were drifting through the night
it was just you and me
we were running through the night
we were drifting through the night
it was just you and me
we were running through the night

If I could see you
just one more time
I'd be good to you
all of my life

But I can't find you
and I'm out of time
I'm out of time...

it was just you and me
we were drifting through the night
it was just you and me
we were stealing against time
it was just you and me
we racing against the time
it was just you and me
we were drifting through the night

we were drifting through the night
we were drifting through the night

mix and production: René Methner
mastering: Thomas Heimann-Trosien, TurnstyleMastering, Berlin

the crowd is asking questions
time to feed the brains of fools
we're on the speedway of the global news
we have a serious network
we run the big machines
we keep you quiet with bread and games
it will quench the flame
isn't the weather nice today?

who gets fooled again

in the age of populism
sweeping around the globe
we are dealing with an overdose
of phrases, bubbles, airholes
advertisement and empty shells
we guarantee your comfort zone
trust us you are not alone
so better stay at home

who gets fooled again

THERE'S SOMEDAY'S IN YOUR LIFE
YOU WANNA RUN AWAY AND HIDE
THE FALLING SKY IS UPON YOU

I'M TRAVELING IN A LONELY RIDE
SOMETHINGS GONNA MAKE ME CRY
I WISH A LITTLE LONGER I HAD YOU

I CAN HEAR A FALLING STAR
IT MAKE'S ME WONDER WHERE YOU ARE
AND THE WISH IS ALL FOR YOU

ALL THE BETTER DAY'S AHEAD
THE CLEARING SKY IT SAYS
EVERY SINGLE DAY IS ALL SO NEW

(chorus)
HAS SOMEONE EVER MADE A WISH FOR YOU
HAS SOMEONE EVER MADE A DAY BRAND NEW
ANYBODY TAKE YOUR HAND
TO A PROMISE LAND
THEN THE WISH IS ALL FOR YOU

EVERYTHING IS MADE FROM LOVE
EVERYONE DESERVES JUST ONCE
THE WISH INSIDE THAT COMES FROM YOU

I CAN HEAR A FALLING STAR
IT MAKE'S ME WONDER WHERE YOU ARE
AND THE WISH IS ALL FOR
(break)

IT'S NEVER TO LATE TO START
SOMETHING THAT YOU'VE NEVER HAD
THE WISH INSIDE THAT COMES FROM YOU

(chorus)
HAS SOMEONE EVER MADE A WISH FOR YOU
HAS SOMEONE EVER MADE A DAY BRAND NEW
ANYBODY TAKE YOUR HAND
TO A PROMISE LAND
THEN THE WISH IS ALL FOR YOU
