Lyrics:

I know it's not unusual
To find a politician fighting claims they've made a mistake
But what do you think of a politician
Claiming any bad news that's reported about them is fake?

I know that jaws won't drop
And it's something we will cop
If one of those in powerful positions
Is caught out in a lie
As spectators watching on
It's what we've come to accept
But it seems to me
He thinks for him
The rules just don't apply

I know it's not unusual
To find a politician with a healthy ego to stoke
But what do you think of a politician
With a sense of humility or lack of one that's beyond a joke?

I know that jaws won't drop
And it's something we will cop
If one of those who claims to set the standards
Will then fail to satisfy
As spectators watching on
It's what we've come to accept
But it seems to me
He thinks for him
The rules just don't apply

Have you ever heard what Reagan
Thought about truth in the Soviet Union?
Have you ever heard what Reagan
Thought about truth in the Soviet Union?
Have you ever heard what Reagan
Thought about truth in the Soviet Union?
Have you ever heard what Reagan
Thought about truth in the Soviet Union?

I know it's not unusual
To find a politician in a case of hypocrisy
But what do you think of a politician
Who flaunts disregard for past positions so blatantly?

I know that jaws won't drop
And it's something we will cop
If someone takes the low ground
After claiming they would always take the high
As spectators watching on
It's what we've come to accept
But it seems to me
He thinks for him
The rules just don't apply

Have you ever heard what Reagan
Thought about truth in the Soviet Union?
Have you ever heard what Reagan
Thought about truth in the Soviet Union?
Have you ever heard what Reagan
Thought about truth in the Soviet Union?
Have you ever heard what Reagan
Thought about truth in the Soviet Union?

“Years Ahead”, the 1st single extracted from the upcoming EP from Jaime’s Tone, is suggesting that we all embrace the future instead of fearing it. The music is a mix of rock and pop rock, with a strong 80’s vibe. This is a solo effort from Jaime’s Tone’s founder Jacques M, hence the new JT logo on the cover.

Easy (just like you)

British Sun ..it Happens
British Sun is an atmospheric summer song with a haunting melody; and vocals which are delivered in almost conversational manner. 
The lyrics describe surprisingly accurately how we feel in the middle of a heatwave, when nothing stirs, the haze is low and all we want t do is nothing. 


British Sun

Thumping guitars with pounding drums and rhythmic piano driving behind a solid rock song with a sound modern message. Powerful vocals and well thought out lyrics punch this Aussie trio into a great live experience.

CHANGE

An idea I had when I first started writing.  It's entertaining but there is work to do.
