LYRICS: 

See the world that's blistering
Shone upon by a colorless sun
A wicked sun, a silent sun
Living between islands of pain
Gets a little hard but I'm in charge
Charge it to my credit card
Everybody has a hand in
We'll leap the edge and crash on rapids water
And consequences later

Something is attractive
Could be radioactive
Or my imagination
On the radio station
Gold on every axis
Enough to pay your taxes
We are for the people
Capitol or steeple
Among the pigs and prophets
We thought you might have bought it
To the fore we file in
Cue the sliding violin

When the money still remains
You don't talk until they pull the strings
Looking out for better things
I think your message struck a nerve
Take a bow and get what you deserve
Ride a transcendental curve
All the treasure that remains
Might be better spent on telling lies
Keep it in a sheep disguise

Shaking out your pockets
I think you finally lost it
Treat me like a play thing
Might be smoother sailing
Future past and present
Burn the farm and sell it
Slurry words and stipends
Might get a little violent
All the times you're wasting
Disaster in the making
A million mouths you're feeding
Smash through the glass ceiling

Rainfall and the rainfall
And the rainfall and the rainfall
Rainfall and the rainfall
And the rainfall and the rainfall
Rainfall and the rainfall
And the rainfall and the rainfall
Rainfall and the rainfall
And the rainfall 

If the world has gone to hell
You don't care because you took it all
And you still want more

Easy to feel deranged
Harder to make good sense of it all
Line 'em up against the wall

Through the cracks a glimmer of peace
Shake it off, it does no good at all
Until we make the final call

Nature does its own thing
No point in explaining
Off the top you're taking
Yielding next to nothing

If you look you see them
Whinging ad nauseam
In the heat we're brawling
Missed the final calling

Stretched so thin we relapse
Picked up by the bootstraps
Sounds a bit dumb to me
So why don't you kill me

Rainfall and the rainfall
And the rainfall and the rainfall
Rainfall and the rainfall
And the rainfall and the rainfall
Rainfall and the rainfall
And the rainfall and the rainfall
Rainfall and the rainfall
And the rainfall

Rain Chime

Can It Be A Real Thing

I've been empty, I've been humble
Been some kind of curiosity
I spent too many years imprisoned in a cell of pure hypocrisy
An eager tutor learned the time
But soon forgot the skills needed to count
I owe you big style oh you treasure
And by god owe you a large amount

CHORUS
I was all charged
I  was incomplete
Scratched up and scarred
But it seems I firmly fell on my feet
Wave the white flag
Ignore what I said
I had love jet lag
But then I kind of met you instead
So many talents
You don't know you have
We're losing our balance
To find it we require a Satnav
There's no hill to climb
There's no more I need
When it comes to my time
Surely you are my missing piece

Hear the cheering, hear the trumpets
Hear the carnival of chaos crash
I think I inadvertently created some kind of a front page splash

CHORUS

You're a jewel a pure treasure
You are everything that I could want
Would you like another cocktail in this Jamaican restaurant?

CHORUS

Missing Piece

I got a short term memory
Goldfish remember more than me
I forget half of what I do
Apart from time with you
Its tough when you are not around
I sulk and drop down to the ground
I tried to do what Prince did
But I removed no rib

CHORUS
Bed - We said
Head to bed
Or something just as fun instead

My heart is always yearning
A passion spiced and burning
Excuse my occasional flaws
I blame the manopause
To crave the icy finger
Then pray that it doth linger
I can't contain excitement
Lets just head up to the bed

CHORUS

My brain it sure is spinning
It did from the beginning
If anything its faster
I hope that I'm a Laster
To feel you in the morning
As the new day is dawning
I have an increasing head
Lets just head up to the bed

CHORUS

Something Just As Fun

Let Them Eat Soap

Thanks for listening x

Edie

She got a pocket full of mighty fine, fine intentions
She got a way, she got a way that somehow makes you feel good
She got a story full of love and hate and other complications
Got you hooked on her smile, hooked and hung on a hook. (x2)

She got a promise full of smoky red wine redemption
She makes you pay, she makes you pay as if she's drawing your blood
She got a black heart full of war and peace and other aggravation
Got you hooked on her smile, hooked and hung on a hook. (x2)

She got you hung on a hook
Hung on a hook, she got you hung on a hook
She got you hung on a hook

Little cat all alone like that, in ballet flats in the snow
Little cat all alone like that, hey Edie, where you gonna go?
Little cat all alone like that, in ballet flats in the snow
Little cat all alone like that, hey Edie, where you gonna go?
I say Edie, where you gonna go? 
Oooooooh Ooooooooh

Edie oh Edie oh black-hearted Edie
Littered, lost love-lorn and ghost
Edie oh Edie oh black-hearted Edie
The one that I still love the  most
Edie oh Edie oh black-hearted Edie
The one that I still love the most

15-year-old Andriy recounts to CNN's John Berman the moment his family was forced from their home at gunpoint in Chernihiv, Ukraine, and the attack that claimed his mother's life.

right
It ain't right
It ain't right
It ain't right

When fifteen year old ripped from his life
When his towns on fire and his mother just died
It ain't right
It ain't right

you see
It's strange
That just a week before
Andriy was playing guitar with family
dark night
Dark night
He just want play his guitar now
And get through this dark night

Ch
And he just wanna go home
And he just wanna go home
And rebuild a city

{post ch}

He's the same age as my son
to see what he has been through.

heart breaking
He said
I was supposed to be playing with my band at a concert…
instead I am here.
heart breaking
heart breaking
And I wanna go home
And I wanna go home

{instr}

Ch
And he just wanna go home
And he just wanna go home
And rebuild a city

Bridge
And want you to know that my mother was a beautiful woman
And want you to know that my mother was a beautiful friend

Ch
And I wanna go home
And I wanna go home
Heart breaking

Outro
And I wanna go home
And I wanna go home
Heart breaking
And I wanna go home
And I wanna go home

The situation in Ukraine is heartbreaking and incomprehensible……it ain't right.

I saw one specific example (of many) in a news article that really got to me about the effects of this senseless war on ordinary people.  People just trying to live their ordinary human lives in peace, coming from towns probably similar to the one you or I may have grown up in.  Instead, they are ripped from this existence because a psychopath decides he needs to acquire a new piece of dirt and a bigger crown.  He will level cities and mow down innocent people to get it.  

I recently watched a news feature covering a shell shocked 15 year old boy who had lost his mother in an awful attack.  He was still obviously stunned and coping.  Towards the end of the interview it became clear that one of his coping mechanisms was just wanting to play his guitar for awhile to get through the dark nights ahead….to hold on to a strand of something normal.  This hit me quite hard as it is probably a characteristic I too would have fallen back on as coping mechanism (a keyboard in my case)

 The other powerful thing that came through was his un-questioned determination to still go back and rebuild the city one day. This seemed to be just a given.  This was going to happen. This steadfast resolve and heroism in the Ukrainian people in general is moving and inspiring and probably has a lot to do with what they went through and achieved in the 2013/2014 timeframe when they ousted a Putin placed dictator the first time.  The Netflix documentary called Winter on Fire captures this struggle for independence very well.  They will not give up this hard won independence easily.

This all influenced my latest song creation.  

Thank You for your courage Andriy and I wish you strength, resilience and resolve to keep moving forward.  This song is dedicated to you and your family.

DOWNFORCE
When the pressure subsides
As our worlds collide
And we can both confide
Our secrets learnt

As the downforce hits
And our giggling fits
Have us both in bits
Smiling but burnt

Stability maintained
As the downforce gained
Is the pressure just feigned
Or duly earnt?

CHORUS
And the pressures building up from inside
Yet I'm feeling more stable
And the pressures building up will subside

And the downforce
But neither want out
So we scream and shout
The pressure on

CHORUS

Lyrics:
Chasing hypnotic cosmic dust
Outside your force field
Your gravitational pull
You don't really like music, do you?
If you don't care
Then I don't care
You just like how the bass
Bruises the air
I just pass my time
On stupid things
Dancing in the dark
Chasing your hypnotic cosmic dust
I just spin around
Chasing your hypnotic cosmic dust
