knowing what i do, guess i wont put on those shoes
and go dancing
stepping out on the floor
dont think thats for me anymore

feeling as i do guess i wont slip on my boots
go play footie
never gonna score not that i did much
anyway

oh those were the good old days
oh those were the good old days

ooh ooh ooh

doing what i do only seems to get me through
one day at a time
tell me whats been my crime to be
treated in such a way

when i close my eyes to sleep
i dont see the sheep just me hooning around
oh when you are young they dont say hey son
it wont always be this way

oh those were the good old days
now the good has found a safe place to hide
yet i still have you here by my side
still have you here by my side

theres pleasure in the memories
when the days lasted longer
you could be out all the time
and never feel the hunger
when the bones dont ache
and the back dont break by 9am

feeling as i do guess i wont put on my boots
go play footie ever again.

the good old days

good old days

This song began one morning while I was "noodling" on the guitar, key of G, 5th fret capo using D shapes, (for the guitarists out there:), and thought it the beginning of a promising recipe for a song; but it sounded a little thin.  It needed some extra seasoning and a little protein, so I sent it to Debra Buesking for her culinary expertise and she supplied all the lovely touches it needed.  It's now ready to serve, our version of "Noodle Soup". Enjoy:)

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

Rooted

As the younger/ish guy in band I just play bass.

You Ask You Got it

I’m driving home,
Running low on gasoline,
Every traffic light,
Is turning red instead of green,

Heading home,
Wish I was in a limousine,
I could close my eyes, 
And think of places where I’ve been,

Paying no attention to the signs,
My thoughts are borderline,
Feels like places that I’ve seen,
But I’ve never been,

But I’m still driving home,
How long is it gonna be,
Pass the county line,
Heading where I wanna be,
When I’m home,
I’ll be where I need to be,
No more traffic lights,
Nothing else I need to see,

Don’t need to look out for the signs,
Heading back to what I know is mine,
Don’t know why I would wanna leave,
It’s what I breathe, 

But I’m still driving home,
How long is it gonna be

Driving Home

I’ll see the morning light,
Happens almost every night,
Just where the hell did we go,
I’m just settling now,
Still buzzing I don’t know how,
I’ll wonder where the days go,

And I feel I’m high, Like my ego, 
But I’m running wild, in the middle of the road, 
Just where did we go, 
Am I high, or placebo, 
I’m running wild, in the middle of the road,
Just where did we go,

Silence kicking in now,
I can barely hear a sound,
Just drowned out by my ego,
Not going to fight,
When it’s almost every night,
Now I’m thinking where can we go,

Cos I’m feeling high, Like my ego, 
And we’re running wild, in the middle of the road, 
Just where did we go, 
Are we high, or placebo,
We’re running wild, in the middle of the road, 
Just where did we go,

It’s the morning light again,
Gotta stop I don’t know when,
And find out where’d my sleep goes,

And I been too high, like my ego,
Sick of running wild, in the middle of the road, 
Just where did we go,
Are we high, or just evil,
We’re running wild, in the middle of the road

High

A song about being lucky enough to be with someone that can get the best out of you and vice versa.
If you have the right person or people in your life then it doesn't matter where you are.

Watch the time away and think about just where we want to be, 
Every day we always think about the things we want to see,
Doesn’t matter anything whatever something we believe,
And here we and you are smoking your last cigarette with me,

There is nowhere,
We need to be,
Just stay with me, 

I’ve become a better man,
Cos you helped me out, and helped me understand, 
And we’ve been all over this, 
Just take me by the hand,
I’ve become a better man, 

Watch more time away just thinking of the things we might achieve,
Could be anywhere, we talked about a place beside the sea,
Doesn’t matter where we are, as long as we are free,
And here we are again just smoking your last cigarette with me, 

There is still nowhere,
I’d rather be,
Stick with me,

I’ve become a better man,
When you helped me out, and helped me understand, 
And I’m still in love with you, 
Since you took me by the hand,
And I became a better man

Better

There’s things that I want,
Always look out for you,
And all that you need,

It’s not that I choose,
Don’t do things easily,
And sometimes I lose,

Am I living a lie when I’m thinking of you,
Or just killing time,
And hoping that you’ll be ready, 
When I need you, 

Is this what I need,
You looking out for me,
And all that I bleed,

Are you living a lie when you’re thinking of me,
Or just killing time,
And hoping that I’ll be ready,
When you need me, 

Maybe I’m thinking too deep,
I think aloud when I can’t sleep,
I’ll keep living in my head with you,
Living in my head with all of you,

Maybe I think differently, 
I sing along when I can’t sing,
I’ll keep living in my head with you,
Living in my head with all of you

Living In My Head

There was a time around a place I was before, 
Every night I died and in hell I had the tour, 
Held up my arm ‘til someone took me by the hand,  
And I have come,
Far from where I’m from, 

Cos I believe, 
In destiny,

Here in the days and nights, before the night before, 
Having the fires of hell racing through the door, 
I’m in a bad head space, yeah you heard it all before, 
But I became, 
The only flame, 

Cos I believe, 
In destiny,

Cos I believe, 
In destiny,
I believe,

There was a time around a place I was before, 
Every night I died and in hell I had the tour, 
Held up my arm ‘til someone took me by the hand,
And I became,
The only flame

I Believe In Fire

Still Try'na Find My Heart (LARS).mp3

Somewhere77’ is a London based self-taught solo artist, delivering more of a traditional song writing style with rock, acoustic, folk, country and blues influences.

2024 saw the release of the debut album “Whipped, Stripped & Almost Unplugged” which is a fully acoustic album of original songs featuring the Taylor 214CE DLX and recorded on a Boss BR80. 

Further releases of "Take Me", "Won't Let You In", "Hold On" and "Don't get Along" have since followed which will be part of the next album called "The Road to Retrospection" in the near future.

Yes my vocals can be an acquired taste (this is not my day job! 😂) but I do hope that you can at least enjoy the musical melodical side of things.

With occasional assistance from long time friend and collaborator ©️CrackerJack on various tracks, both artists are proud to produce and share music with you and hope that you can find a song among what we have created.

Much Love

Better
