Shock the Algorithm

Here’s The Circle video:
https://youtu.be/upxfvLhJtQs

This song is about being stuck in an endless loop of working life, the realisation of never ending monotony, to finally working out how to handle it and the hope of escaping it.

A big thank you to Pat Morey for the use of his house to record and for mixing this song. Also Gavin Smith for the use of his drums and equipment.

Rooted: 

The needle tears a hole
Please don't let me go
I didn't say goodbye
Now my heart is broken

The soul has to break
I hear you call my name
A ghost or just my pain
Now my heart is broken

Things never stay the same
They're always meant to change
Its over now
Now my heart has broken

lyrics:
We've been through a lot, a lot of shit
now it's time to fight, fight against
against this depression and evil vibe
this is the time we will take over our lives

We've been submersed deep deep down
we've lost our faith into this evil town
we have to get back, get back to our own feet
we had enough, enough with this shit!

and now we have our head up high
we know what it's true and never dies
and now we step up with god's command
we won't take it anymore, not get stuck into the sand

It won't take forever just to reach our dream
it won't take forever to delete the bad scene
it won't take forever to hold your hand
it won't take forever to the promised land

it won't take forever to live again
it won't take forever to face the sun
it won't take forever, it won't take forever!

Across the bay
Many many many miles away
See a crescent moon
Reflected in a field of poppies bloomed

Take a step into this vision, soon
Grab a flower and throw it at the moon

(YOU)
Don’t ask me how you’re gonna get there soon
(Don’t ask me, don’t ask me, do)
(YOU)
You might as well throw a flower at the moon

Throw a flower, a flower, at the moon
Throw a flower, a flower, at the moon

Save our wrecks
Oh then, say the best
Get it off your chest
Just another shipwreck

Another shipwreck
Get it off your chest
Another shipwreck
Get it off your chest

Trapped Rat

When I was young I remember watching Bob Geldof of The Boomtown Rats on Top Of The Pops rip up a picture of John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John from Grease. Summer nights had been at number 1 for seven weeks. The Rats had knocked it off to take the number one spot with Rat Trap. 
I was around 11 and thought this guy is so cool and the music and storytelling lyrics captivated me. 
This is the reason I wanted to be a frontman which lead on my journey of music from playing live at Birmingham’s Nec, releasing singles, albums on various labels and finally my last ever band gig selling out Ronnie Scott’s. 
These days I’m more of a bedroom rockstar recording remotely which suits me fine. It’s a young man’s game.
Trapped Rat is a continued story of Rat Trap and how in my head I thought Billy & Judy ended up 45 years later.
Yes I know it’s a long track but stick with the story as it’s a short story in song.
Noobly said it’s our Jungleland like Springsteen and I agree with him.
Hope you enjoy the journey because Rat Trap still remains one of my favourite all time tunes. 
And Geldof in his early work was a lyrical inspiration to me. 

V1
Billy rocks from side to side sitting in the darkness 
Hes listening to music that now makes him feel worthless 
The songs they remind him of those younger days 
When he thought he had no future 
And needed to change his ways 

Bridge pre chorus 
And Gorgeous  Judy was the only precious thing 
And he don’t see her no more 
Cause he’s a troubled thing 
Who  are the Rats who are the people 
it’s hard to decide for Billy theses days

V2
Billy don’t leave the house only to go down the offey 
8 on the dot to buy cheap booze and backey 
He still pushes the button to cross that busy road 
He’s now in his early sixties and god he feels the cold 

(Bridge pre chorus )
As the youths are hanging around the yellow streets lights 
In years gone by he would have picked a fight 
Who  are the Rats who are the people 
it’s hard to decide for Billy theses days

Chorus 
Your still  a trapped rat Billy 
Cause you never left the cage 
Your still a trapped rat Billy 
Cause you never left the cage 
Even in your old age x2



V3
Judy made a life with some hot shot lawyer
And her life with Billy is just something that annoys her
And when she arrives she pictures the Italian cafe 
It’s new bricks and mortar shes now visiting her and Billy’s daughter 

V4
Judy now in the bracket of middle classes 
And now drinks her coffee in double walled borosilicate glasses
And now 50p is  the least of her worries & cares 
She lives the highlife with panache grace &  flair

(Bridge pre chorus)
She don’t speak of Billy and nights spent together 
She as her own family from the land of never never 
She knows the rats 
She know the people 
It’s not hard for Judy  to decide these days
These days 

Chorus

Ash to ash
Dust to Dust
Here we go again
I pray to god but I swear
I don't think his listening
I fear the man in the mirror
worse than the Boogie Man!!
I held my mothers rosary inside my hand
Baby if you really know who I am
I don't think you would want to hold really my hand!!

London Bridge has fallen down!!
The sky has turned to red!!
The oceans fill with blood!!
I am the Monster here!!
The mask has fallen down!!
I'm the monster now!!
I hope you run!!

Sitting here, waiting for you..
When will you arrive? Don't have a clue!
But one thing I know for sure
I wanna make love to you!

Thinking of your sweet lips
Can hardly wait to give you a kiss..
Oh baby, are you coming soon?
I wanna make love to you!

Waiting...Waiting....Waiting....
Ohh I have waited so long..
My hair has turned grey
All I can do is wait and pray!

My hair has turned grey
All I can do is wait and pray!

Baby, are you ready for me?
I'm hungry for your love.. Can't you see?
Longing but still have faith
that you will come, so I will wait!

Waiting...Waiting....Waiting....
Oh I have waited so long..
My hair has turned grey
All I can do is wait and pray!

Oh baby, are you coming soon?
I wanna make love to you!

Still sitting here, waiting for you..
How long I have to wait, ain't got a clue!
Days and months turned into years..
But I still wanna make love to you!

Waiting W/ Janne Hennie

The song is about joining your first band at fifty and thinking maybe you should have done this earlier. Photo was taken at our first recording session, in the loft!

Days Of Silence

Baby, here I am
I'm the man on the scene
I can give you what you want
But you got to come home with me
I've got some good old lovin'
And I got some more in store
When I get through throwin' it on you
You gotta come back for more
Boys and things that come by the dozen
That ain't nothin' but drugstore lovin'
Hey little thing, let me light your candle
'Cause, mama, I'm sure hard to handle now, gets around

Action speaks louder than words
And I'm a man of great experience
I know you got another man
But I can love you better than him
Take my hand, don't be afraid
I'm gonna prove every word I say
I'm advertising love for free
So you can place your ad with me
Boys will come along, a dime by the dozen
That ain't nothing but ten cent lovin'
Hey little thing, let me light your candle
'Cause, mama, I'm sure hard to handle now, gets around

Yeah
Hard to handle now
Oh, baby

Baby, here I am
I'm the man on your scene
I can give you what you want
But you gotta come home with me
I've got some good old lovin'
And I got some more in store
When I get through throwin' it on you
You gotta come runnin' back for more
Boys will run along, a dime by the dozen
That ain't nothin' but drugstore lovin'
Hey little thing, let me light your candle
'Cause, mama, I'm sure hard to handle now, gets around

Ya, so hard to handle now

Boys will run along, a dime by the dozen
That ain't nothing but ten cent lovin'
Hey little babe, let me light your candle
'Cause, mama, I'm sure hard to handle now, gets around
Aww
So hard to handle now
Oh, yeah
Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby

I got to have, oh yeah
So hard to handle, now, yeah

This song is one of next mini album [where]
I’ve been writing songs about world  I see and spirit.

Huu

It’s pouring down hard out side
It’s pouring down hard in side

My angel whisper me
You don’t stop thinking
You don’t stop judgement
That binds you
That binds you

How come It’s rain
How come It’s rain
How come I’m wait 
How come I’m wait

You know
You know
Really what you want
Really what you want

How come It’s rain
How come It’s rain
How come I’m wait 
How come I’m wait

You know
You know
Really what you want
Really what you want

外は激しく土砂降り
心は激しく土砂降り
天使が囁く
君は考え続ける
君は判断し続ける
それが君を縛っている
本当は君は知っている
本当は君は知っている

Pouring （Khan ＋rakia）

'courage'

Moments often can not be rehearsed. 
And we're left wishing that we could reverse
time to change our ways.
Oh, what I've come to learn with age
is I've had it in myself this whole time. Courage. 

Strength to walk away without resolve.
Pain that dissipates when I'm absolved
solely from the blame.
Yet, how quickly truths can change
when it's rearranged to suit the needs of all. 

I've been living in an opened cage.
My freedom is my own yet I'm afraid
to spread my wings and fly
from all the years I've lived this lie.
But the time has come for me to break these chains.

courage

From the Album: "Arrhythmia & Blues" 2024

Lyrics:
You come into my home
Through my screen
You see, I don't like to be alone
You know what I mean?
Sit next to my laser beam (2X)
A dystopian wet dream

Sit next to my laser beam
It's an American dream
AI Guru selling dopamine
Space age hookah store scheme
(C'mon C'mon) sit next to my laser beam
Because I am the one who loves you (2X)
Sit next to my laser beam

At a server farm out in the desert
Corporations force feed us our souls
Will you give up your control?
Does the phone make you whole?
This is all I know
Watch me make these circuits blow
Because I am the one that loves you(2X)
Sit next to my laser beam

Sit Next To My Laser Beam

Loves Me Crazy

LYRICS

Kept on walking straight ahead
There was no-one round they'd gone to bed
They were not sleeping
They worried 'bout the things
They could not change

The Governments just would not help
Just told us tighten up your belt
Another notch or two
But we know that we'll get through

ooooh la la la la
ooooh la la la la

My shoes were worn
And full of holes
I could touch the pavement through the soles
One good shirt and one good vest
Now no-one had a Sunday best

Churches empty no-one prayed
Everyone just seemed afraid
They'd meet God soon enough
They've got things oh so rough

Ooooh la la la la
Ooooh la la la la

Looted shops and broken glass
The lifestyle of the working class
But no-one worked there were no jobs
And factories had turned to rust
And rival gangs patrolled the streets
Would kill each other when they meet

Instrumental

Food was rationed just enough
And any dreams had turned to dust
But lords and ladies dined so well
They had no idea of this hell

I kept on walking straight ahead
There was no-one around they'd gone to bed
But they were not sleeping
They worried 'bout the things
They could not change

Ooooh la la la la
Ooooh la la la la


Outro

Things They Could Not Change Change

Ill lead you down the path of regret
Ill leave you alone
