Good accessible pop. Quirky and individual. Pithy is good.

from the album 'Othello', due 1st April 2022

need to aim a bit higher
couldn't aim any lower
i write all these songs to make me feel better
it mostly works
i write about football
and i write about snooker too
do what the hell i like
it's nothing to do with you

you talk about craft
whilst keeping a straight face
i write all these songs to make me feel better
it hardly ever works
cos the kids ain't got no brains
and the oldies have thrown in the towel
i've resorted to plastic surgery
at the eleventh hour...

every now and then i think of ending it all
my nature is vile and my spirit's small

all i wanted to do is walk beyond the blue
of the Irish Sea it's true...how could i hate you?

late night thoughts
when i ought to be sleeping
get away...keep away
i am grateful to you
and so happy for you too
it's been a couple of decades now
Othello...

we need to protect the public
and we need to feel wanted
we need an awful lot of things
to keep us preoccupied for the rest of the day
because life is very short
whilst going on forever
you don't seriously expect
to show your face around town after this do you?!

every now and then i think of ending it all
my nature is vile and my spirit's small

all i wanted to do is walk beyond the blue
of the Irish Sea it's true...how could i hate you?

Claire Welles - Othello Pt.1

from the forthcoming album 'Package Holiday', out October 1st 2022
written & recorded by Claire Welles

we ordered coke
we ordered lemonade
we ordered drinks
too young to behave

at Daiquiri Palace
too young to behave
at Daiquiri Palace

don't need no food
don't need no sleep
don't need no sandwiches
too young to behave

at Daiquiri Palace
too young to behave
at Daiquiri Palace

there's a place...in the sun...where you go...to forget...and then waste...all your time, collecting some sun
i'm amazed...i recall...all the drinks...and the sense...of a holiday from so long ago...am i losing my touch?

i need the sun
i need the sand
i need the sex
i need the t-shirt too

Daiquiri Palace
wet t-shirt too
Daiquiri Palace

there's a place you can go...

DIMITRI (D*Witched) - Blame it on the Weatherman

A song about a meteorite which made landfall in Gloucester in Feb 2021.

By moonlight you came in a cloak made of stars
You sashayed with Jupiter, flirted with Mars
Announced your arrival with footprints of fire
 
From out of the void you set yourself down
In the wintry indifference of a cold market town
Where people lay sleeping or huddled inside
 
No one to greet you, no one to meet you
No one to crack you a smile
A sorrowful end to an odyssey
Over  the years and the miles
 
On Mrs Wickham's driveway, 
By Mrs Wickham's car
At journey's end you settled down to rest
 
On a tarmac bed you lay your head
Naked and alone 
Silent stranger, hobo from the stars
 
They came in their vans, they took you away
Because that's how things are
When you're fleeing from darkness
And guided by the stars
 
On a tarmac bed you laid your head
You'd travelled oh so far
To Mrs Wickham's Driveway

ONE MINUS ONE

An unfinished piece from a couple of years ago.

Wake Up!

I was bored yesterday morning and said to myself "Today is the day you do the Brookie theme, you are a scouser...it's your destiny, but sing it like you're in ABBA".
