First take acoustic guitar, and one take vocal - a sketchy version of what promises to be another Tom and Darren classic

I believe in love at second-sight
I can feel it in my bones that you are right
When I figured it out, I let you know what I know
Have you heard me ltely?

We're alone, exploring the night
You look beautiful in this light
You're making me dance, set me on fire
Do you feel me lady?

You can take a breath and walk away
Or move closer and help me get this demon off my back
Saving for a rainy day?
Wake up and see that there is nothing in your way

Is it me or are we trouble free?
This cannot be bought, these original thoughts that reside in me
I know where they're coming from 
And it's free to anyone who can afford it

You can take a breath and walk away
Or move closer and help me get this demon off my back
Saving for a rainy day?
Wake up and see that there is nothing in your way



Second sight

work in progress - written with the superb and multi talented DARREN WOOD

Be careful who you turn in to
I don't want to see another repeat
I want to thrive, not just survive
Be careful who you turn in to

I'm aware of the pitfalls
I'm aware of the stakes
But I don't care what it takes
I don't care

Be careful who you turn in to
I don't want to see another repeat
I want to thrive, not just survive
Be careful who you turn in to

I'm aware of the pitfalls
I'm aware of the stakes
But I don't care what it takes
I don't care

I don't care what it takes

I've got time on my side
And love in my mind as I wander
Placing one foot at a time
There's nothing to frighten or bother

I come here to unwind
This place is mine and no other
I've got time on my side
Love in my mind as I wander

There'll be no more tears this life
I'm telling everyone so I'll avoid the fight

I don't need to run for cover
Hear me out, I have another way to govern all of your time:
Loving
I don't want to run for cover
Hear me out, I have the only answer to the ultimate rhyme:
Loving. All your life time

There is no way to replace
The beautiful faces of loved ones
There is no time to waste
What are you waiting for?

There'll be no more tears this life
I'm telling everyone so I'll avoid the fight

I don't need to run for cover
Hear me out, I have another way to govern all of your time:
Loving
I don't want to run for cover
Hear me out, I have the only answer to the ultimate rhyme:
Loving. All your life time

(Repeat to fade)



Loving

Call me on the home line
For stories at bed time
Waiting with the lights off
Waiting with my eyes shut

I have had better days
I have had better days
Waiting with my eyes shut
Waiting with my eyes shut

Did I catch you at a bad time?
Can you tell me when a good one comes?
I've been waiting for a lifetime
Hearing every lie, every thing you can think of

It's all over your face
You're conquered and divided
You can't hide it anymore
So Take your mind elsewhere
And I'll come and meet you there

If I can't afford it right now
I'll follow, I'll follow you down
To wherever you end up
To wherever it is you end up

I know I caught you at a bad time
But will you tell me if a good one comes?
I've been waiting for a lifetime
Hearing every lie, every thing you can think of

It's all over your face
You're conquered and divided
You can't hide it anymore
So Take your mind elsewhere
And I'll come and meet you there

Conquered and Divided

You've got everything you want on your finger
So why the fuck you talking to me?
You're right in that you've got me down as a thinker,
And my philosophy's love, but I could never love you.
I'm running out of things to say to you
And ways to get it through to you

You bet everything you had on a ring
So what the fuck you talking to me for?
You seem to get a naughty thrill from the audience here
But when the show is over, I will just go home
And you'll go back to crying in your sleep
And lying there beneath him

Oh Love: it's a curious thing
Where insecurity's King and you speak before thinking
Love is such a curious thing
Where insecurity's King and you speak without thinking

You've got everything you need on a plate
So what the fuck you talking to me for?
You'll notice how I hesitate because walls they have ears
And this should stay unspoken, your taken vows unbroken
So keep it shut 'til this moment is over again
This moment is over again

Oh Love: it's a curious thing
Where insecurity's King and you speak without thinking
Love is such a curious thing
Where insecurity's King and you speak without thinking




A Curious Thing

How's it gonna feel when the truth gets found out?
You stand and deliver
News travels fast, now my head's inside out
Feel a little shiver 
And I was doing so well
Thought I was doing so well

The promises I made were never in doubt
Things that I told you when my heart was in my mouth
I still believe 'em and I won't sleep tonight
I've just been talking with my love

How's it gonna be if the answer's not right?
Will you never love another?
One, two and three put up less of a fight
Just took it on the chin and walked
I was doing so well
Thought I was doing so well

The promises I made were never in doubt
Things that I told you when my heart was in my mouth
I still believe 'em and I won't sleep tonight
I've just been talking with my love

The promises I made were never in doubt
Things that I told you when my heart was in my mouth
I still believe 'em and I won't sleep tonight
I've just been talking with my love

Talking With My Love

Last night I dreamt that I hit you
Then I woke myself up 'cause I freaked out
Had to towel myself down in silence
I can never deal with these reminders of violence

Your face was red 'cause I'd hit you
Never thought I'd live alone, now I might do
Didn't think I had a psycho side?
I'm learning all the time; consider this a sign

I'm feeling my heart beat again
Displaying vital signs
You've been living your own dream for some time now
Try living mine, try living mine

Last night I dreamt that I lost my grip
I nearly wore myself out on a guilt-trip
All I had was one or two short lines
Then drinking 'til I'm blind - I knew this shit was gonna catch up with me
Last night I dreamt that I hit you 
Last night I dreamt that I hit you

I'm feeling my heart beat again
Displaying vital signs
You've been living your own dream for some time now
Try living mine, try living mine

Hit You

I have no reason to lie
I will gain nothing unless I try
Everybody wants one
And you've got one that's waiting on the line

I come to you with my arms open wide
You'll see I've nothing to hide
I can't wait to tell you
But I've got to wait until it's right

So keep your head off for a while
Be mine again, come back tonight
Make love to me and I will sleep alright

We've got no reason to fight anymore like before
You've got no reason to turn your head
Oh let me show you
Speak the truth or shoot me dead

Don't need a woman to dance all night for me
Don't need a woman to make my bed
Just want my lover back,  just want my lover
The little woman with her hair like fire
Hair like fire

So keep your head off for a while
Be mine again, come back tonight
Make love to me and I will sleep alright

Sleep Alright

Let me speak in my defence
As no one here is qualified to say what I have to say
You keep my loving at arms-length
You'll only talk to me against your will

But I love you still

I like to call myself a lover
And you should know that you'll never find another one like me
And I'll never find another you

I'll always try to tow the line
And yes it will be fine if we're just friends (though it sends me round the bend)
And while there's still ink in my quill
I will write a letter every day to you

Because I love you still

I like to call myself a lover
And you should know that you'll never find another one like me
And I'll never find another you

Let me speak in my defence
As no one here is qualified to say what I want to say

I like to call myself a lover
And you should know that you'll never find another one like me
And I'll never find another you
I'll never find another you
I'll never find another you

I'll Never Find Another You

Next time you go please take me with you
You know I love to feel the Spanish sun caress my London skin

Next time you go there please take me with you
I know just where to go and I'll show you if you take me there

This is a matter of fact you know
I'm coming with you the next time that you go

The next time you go I'm gonna be there
I'll be the one who looks as though I've found just what I'm searching for



Take me back to L'Escala

She said 'you should come over, just get yourself a late-night cab'
It sounded like the craziest notion
But I thought about it, I thought about it, I thought about it

She said 'be careful where you tread, this city can swallow you up and spit you out'
It sounded like something to be scared of
But I thought about it, I thought about it

And I thought - you're right
There's no use in crying, you're right
Let's make something out of nothing tonight
And you're only round the corner, you're right

Come over, get in a late-night cab
Come over, you know it makes sense
I can't say that I wasn't tempted
'Cause I thought about it, I thought about it

And I thought - you're right
There's no use in crying, you're right
Let's make something out of nothing tonight
And you're only round the corner, you're right

We stay up half the night, just explaining our lives and time is standing still
But in the blink of an eye ten years just passed by
And I just find myself asking lots of questions of you
As our alternative views produce the same old story
What will you make of me now? what do you make of me now?

You're right
There's no use in crying, you're right
Let's make something out of nothing tonight
And you're only round the corner, you're right


Late-Night Cab

Come over here to me lady and let me read you in braille
Uno, dos, tres: YES! let this be a lovers tale
I am the giver of plenty, fulfil my dreams and untie your jeans
It's eins, zwei, try your luck - no resistance give it up

Lift your head ride up and down and
Show me how you fake it baby
Lift your head ride up and down
You're playing with my mind

Well you must see what you do to me? you've got me speaking in tongues
Singing un, deux, trois c'est la conversation losing touch
There's something here that's preventing us from taking this all the way
And one,two, three's a crowd (tell your friends they're not to follow)

Speaking In Tongues

This is an arena for me to post up demos and ideas - nothing on here can be considered as 'finished'. Some of these tunes will always remain as demos, others may find their way in to the Guitars Have Ghosts repetoire and will therefore be given the 'full monty' production treatment. All the vocals, lyrics, instrumentation and arrangements are my own. Listen through headphones if you can. I hope you enjoy what you hear X

I NOW HAVE A SECOND SOUNDCLOUD PAGE AS THIS ONE IS FULL TO CAPACITY!
