A Different Point Of View

You Bring Me Love

Here's a new one for our lovely new grandson Hamish, who arrived earlier this month.
He has family in Scotland and Australia waiting to see him - hence the references to Caledonia and Kangaroos!

Lullaby For Hamish

Memories of Christmas Eve as a child.

I wrote and recorded this last year then forgot all about it until today when I was looking through some old songs.

So.....I thought I'd post it in time for Christmas!  

Merry Christmas everyone!

Before We Turn Out The Light

August 2022
Inspired by an email from a friend who recently sent me an email with the title 'Plus Ca Change'

Plus ca change plus c'est la meme chose.......
The more things change the more they stay the same......
The unfortunate reality of our current political situation.
  
Plus ca change plus c’est la meme chose
That’s what they say, that’s how it goes
They say they’re changing but everybody knows
Plus ca change plus c’est la meme chose	

What’s the point, nobody knows 
So called democracy is just changing its clothes
And they’ll say anything you want if it matches their polls
Plus ca change plus c’est la meme chose

And what you gonna do today	
Will you be wasting your time 	
Trying to change one little thing 
And hoping it will work out fine_________

Politicians, the new comedian race
With puppet masters to keep them in place
So here we go again another marionette show
Plus ca change plus c’est la meme chose

And what we gonna do today
Will we be wasting our time 
Trying to change one little thing 
And hoping it will work out fine_____

Plus ca change plus c’est la meme chose
That’s what they say, that’s how it goes
They say they’re changing but everybody knows
Plus ca change plus c’est la meme chose
c’est la meme chose c’est la meme chose c’est la meme chose c’est la meme chose

Plus Ca Change

Inspired by Hoping Street Kitchen in York which provides fabulous meals and much more to anyone in need every Sunday evening.

The light is turning dim
As the nights are drawing in
And the chilly winds declare
That winter’s almost here

And the wolf is at the door
He’s howling to get in
All you need is a helping hand
All you get are promises and spin

Chorus
But that’s cold comfort to you my friend
Cold comfort to you (x2)

Now the penny in your pocket
That used to be your friend
Has turned into a stranger
That other people spend

And I have to wonder how
We ever got so low
But there’s one thing I can say
It doesn’t have to be this way

Chorus

So try not to despair
For there are many who still care
And here’s a little Sunday evening prayer
That anyone can share

Something to sustain
Give you hope in the cold and the wind and the rain
Don’t let them tell you you’re to blame
We’ve got a system that’s in shame

Chorus

Cold Comfort

Love Is All

Share Your Love

This House
