This song is a co-write with Pete Simpson, who sang (if that's enough of a description of his honey-silk voice) and played mouth organ.

Otis Reading quality song, Pete Simpson's vocals are top notch.

BORROWED TIME  by Arthur May

The banker's raised their benefit and shares
Joe Doe plays the numbers game and he says his prayers
Time is dripping in frozen zones
Counting all the neighbours as they’re losing their homes
Looking to the leaders as they Play
Who justify their reasons why they 'have the say?'
And smile, that it'll work out just fine
Now everyone is voting on borrowed time

All the ‘Gurus’ on the Internet
Sticking words of wisdom and remind us, yeah yet!
All you need to do is feel ‘the love’
Copy, paste and get it from this link, ‘click above’
No-one's really suffering no more
Violations, Human Rights, no famine, No war
Just smile cos it'll all work out fine
Now everyone's living on borrowed time 


Mandy's trying hard to forget
All those nasty rumours on the Internet
Jonny's off to 'gig out' tonight
And Suzie's mum is worried cos she's been a fight
The social system finally breaks down
And everyone, so paranoid holds on to their own
The smile is wearing off in this rhyme
Now everyone is hacking it on borrowed time

Borrowed Time

Sand Through Your Fingers feat Pete Simpson

This is a large production by my standards with nearly 50 recorded tracks, and a nightmare to mix. In this new recording I brought the vocal up including the backing vocals which was intensional, they feature in some parts. It is a self made effort with all music and vocals performed by yours truly. I hope you like it xx
