STEVEE songs - alternative rock with a British flavour

STEVE.EP

From song cyle about my hometown - London. 

Mandies & Blues

I used to live in Streatham 
High up on the hill.
I knew this bird from Peckham,
She was on the pill.
Fish ‘n chips on her lips,
Players Number Six.
She was thick as a brick
But always up for it.

She gave me a good time, sometimes,
Mandies and blues and cheap red wine.
A little bit of blow and everything’s fine -
She gave me the runaround,
She gave me the runaround,
She gave me the runaround
All over London town.

Peroxide blonde kind of long and thin,
Nose held together with a safety pin

Now she lives in Balham
With a bloke who drives a truck.
And sometimes I think about ‘em
And I wish ‘em good luck.
She’s got a bun in the oven.
Must’ve had half a dozen.
Goes drinking on Sunday
Gets a hangover on Monday.

She gave me a good time, sometimes,
Mandies and blues and cheap red wine.
A little bit of blow and everything’s fine.

Mandies & Blues

Slow soulful song about lost love...

Crazy 

I must be crazy, I must be mad 
To let you slide through my fingers like that 
Thought I had you in the palm of my hand 
How I let you go I will never understand 
Well, I guess it only goes to show 
I was crazy crazy to let you go 

How many teardrops can I cry 
Looks like a waterfall pouring from my eye 
How many regrets can I hold in my heart 
Before the whole damn thing breaks apart 
Well I guess it only goes to show 
I was crazy to let you go

The Junction

Going down to Charing Cross.
Gonna see my old boss.
Gotta a package to deliver,
Somewhere across the river.


In the back of some old gaff,
Where they keep things under wraps.
Gotta meet a bloke called Jerry -
Maybe dodgy, maybe very.


Gotta get my motor running,
Gotta get back over town.
Gotta get my engine gunning
Something is going down.


Lost on the streets of London,
Running red lights through Camden.
It’s hard for my brain to function
When it’s gone up the junction.


I gotta get back east,
See the beauty and the beast.
She lives up by the common,
Such a sweet loving woman.


Gotta get my motor running,
Gotta get back over town.
Gotta get my motor running…
It’s hard for my brain to function
When it’s gone up the junction.

Some of the Parts

I should have done this 30 years ago.
Better late than never, or so they say.
It's a long shot, a difficult throw,
Yet here I stand ready for the play.

My heroes are all in the tomb
Save but one solitary soul.
Voice cracked and out of tune,
But some of the parts make a whole. 

Poets are the real, true heroes. 
Voices singing in the wilderness:
Words glowing like burning coals
That gutter in the emptiness.

Phrases tumble into space
Tossed upon the tides of thought.
But sometimes it’s so hard to face
The idea it may come to nought.

A track from my recently released EP on Bandcamp at https://stevee1.bandcamp.com/album/stevee

A Little Alien 

She’s a little alien to me, 
Drinks turpentine for tea. 
She’s a little alien to me, 
Sitting on my knee. 

She sits there on my knee 
Just as slinky as can be… 
She’s not from round here, 
I can tell. 
She’s from some Never Never Land, 
My little Tinker Bell. 

She’s a little alien to me, 
Eyes like an almond. 
She’s a little alien to me, 
Her heart is a diamond. 

She sits there on my knee 
Just as slinky as can be… 
She’s not from round here, 
I can tell. 
She’s from some Never Never Land, 
My little Tinker Bell. 

She’s a little alien to me, 
She’s got me nonplussed. 
She’s a little alien to me, 
She’s got me sussed. 

She sits there on my knee 
Just as slinky as can be… 
She’s not from round here, 
I can tell. 
She’s from some Never Never Land, 
My little Tinker Bell.
