Lyrics

When you’re all at sea
And you cannot find your way back to the shore
Just hold your breath and close your eyes and hope for something more

I’ve heard you say some crazy stuff, Im amazed at what you believe. 
Take a breathe, take a minute, Try to see your in it.
Take all the time you need.

It’s not the end
It’s not the end
It’s only the start
It’s not the end
It only seems like that to you and me
Because the future is something we cannot see

Maybe were just zeros and ones
a simulated fever dream
If its real to you then is it real to me?
Hold you breath, get ready for your scene

The things you say are mental, it’s all coincidental, 
There nothing left to agree 
Take a breathe, take a minute, recognise the limit. 
Take all the time you need

It’s not the end 
It’s not the end
It’s only the start 
It maybe feels like the end to you and me
Because the future is something we cannot see

Nothing makes much sense anymore 
Everybody has their own the truth
If true to you then is it true to me?
I need incontrovertible proof

You can’t make a fact from fiction no matter your conviction.
Saying it dont make it true
Take a breath take a beat, admit to your deceit.
Try and listen to another point of view 

It’s not the end
It’s not the end
It’s not the end 
It’s not the end of the world

Infodemic #1

Bit Pavement, bit Dinosaur Jnr with a chorus that sounds like it belongs in a John Hughes movie.

Good For You

All the Same to You

Lyrics:

I never thought this day would ever come, I never knew that you were holding back.
I didn’t think that you had second thoughts,
I didn’t know that you were having doubts about us.

I was always certain that we would be together for ever and ever, just like in the movies
Just like in the movies we saw when we were young
Freeze frame on the silver screen, a perfect picture of a lovers dream 
Fade to black on the warm embrace of the boy next door and the teenage beauty queen.

I could’ve died a million times, waiting for you to make up your mind
Your just like Audrey Hepburn in breakfast at Tiffany’s 
You turn your back on me, take another drag upon your cigarette
I was feeling slightly better until I read your letter and just like in the movies I heard you say the words ‘the light that shines bright burns half as long. 

Freeze frame on the silver screen,  a perfect picture of a lovers dream 
Fade to black on the warm embrace of the boy next door and the teenage beauty queen.

The movie has ended
Can everyone please make their way to the exit.
There’s nothing more to see

Everybody ended up happy
Everybody ended up happy
I hope your happy

Freeze frame on the silver screen, a perfect picture of a lovers dream 
Fade to black on the warm embrace of the boy next door and the teenage beauty queen

SilverScreen

Unfinished....hence the hasty fade out.

Lyrics:

Hey, what is it your doing to me
You’re making me feel like a child
Hey, what is it your doing to me
You’re making me feel kinda wild

I can’t be a man child, it’s time that I grew up 
Sometimes they tell me, that it’s time to make your parents proud, Stand out from the crowd. 

Hey, what is it your doing to me
You’re making me feel kinda weird
Hey, what is it your doing to me
You’re making me, it’s way worse than I feared

And the doctor says i should change my ways and take my pills 
But I’m still working overtime to pay my bills

Hey, what is it your doing to me
You’re making me feel kinda strange
Hey, what is it your doing to me
You’re making me wanna change

Everybody talks down to me they make me feel so small 
One day I’ll show them all and I will walk so tall.

Manchild

Full version with some nifty guitar work from Jamie Taylor.

Lyrics:

Always looking for exits
Always looking to the door 
Observe, take notes, avoid the eyes
Always looking to the floor

It’s not uncommon, to be on your guard
It’s only natural, ‘Cos life can be hard

Always looking for easy answers
Always hoping against hope
No ones ever going to beat the system 
No one is loosening the rope 

It’s not uncommon, to be on your guard
It’s only natural, ‘Cos life can be hard

(Some aahhhs)

Always looking for the door 
Always looking
Always looking 
Always looking for the door

Exits

A song about sleep paralysis. Started this six years ago and only managed to “finish” it because of lockdown boredom.

Lyrics:

This time I swore it was real
Creep in the shadows, my soul hers to steal
Can’t get it out of my head, try to shake it away.
Murmurs in the wall, the sound of decay

Rattles in my brain
Driving me insane
Rattles in my brain
Driving me insane
Rattles in my brain
Driving me insane
Rattles in my brain

She’s in my head
Always in my head
She’s messing me up
Let’s go downtown, let’s go downtown

She’s in my head
Won’t let me sleep
Can’t go to bed.
Let’s go downtown, let’s go downtown

She’s messing me up
Let’s go downtown, let’s go downtown

She’s in my head
Won’t let me sleep
Can’t go to bed.
Let’s go downtown, let’s go downtown

Rattles in my brain
Driving me insane
Rattles in my brain
Driving me insane
Rattles in my brain
Driving me insane
Rattles in my brain

Can’t say a word, try to shake it away
Dreams are the shadows of what you don’t say.
Demons bearing down on me, I’m gasping in vain 
Rattles on the door and rattles in my brain.

Rattles in my brain
Driving me insane
Rattles in my brain
Driving me insane
Rattles in my brain
Driving me insane
Rattles in my brain

Rattles

years old song I found on my hard drive, almost forgot I made it. Timings are all over the place...creepy lyrics.

Stalker

Original acoustic version of my song Exits recorded entirely on an iPad.

Exits - Ipad Version

A mature, amateur songwriter, a musician? Hardly…but I try.
