We get along like a house on fire, House on fire! This is an up-tempo celebration of long-term friendship and getting old together.

House On Fire

This is a song about two adults who meet online, but years ago they were best friends as children. Life got in the way and this narrates the build up to renewing their relationship after 20 or 30 years apart.

This is the acoustic version, recorded on a guitar-lele (a guitar with the body size of a tenor ukulele, tuned to A)

LYRICS
She said that she wanted to meet again at the fair where we used to go when we were children.
She said that she hadn't shared good times with anyone else, not like we had. Nothing else happened.
I hoped here to find maybe someone that I could befriend, someone to know, someone to talk to.
But I don't know, cos sometimes life just throws you a bone.

Do you think that you would be able to recognise my face though so many years have had their say on it
Are you scared or nervous or do you anticipate that we will get on - pick up where we left off?
The world kept on turning in all the years we were apart, living our lives, forgetting each other.
But I don't know, cos sometimes life just throws you a bone.

Don't have regrets that you feel every time the sun rises cos you know, yes you know life is full, life is full of surprises.
Life has such gifts if you open your eyes, see the prizes cos you know, yes you know life is full, life is full of surprises.
But I don't know, cos sometimes life just throws you a bone.

Life Is Full Of Surprises (Acoustic)

Who said "Do everything, regret nothing."? It was me, just then. I've reached this ripe old age without having much to regret, but the things I regret most are the things I haven't done. Live life to the full. Carpe Diem and all that.

Regrets

Inspired by almost losing someone very close to me. Life is a fragile thing, and when its gone, its gone.

Holding On To Life

These are some words of advice for our teenage generation as they prepare to embark in earnest on the incredible journey that is life. You only get one shot and anything is achievable.

It was the first time I had loved and it was everything that I’d been dreaming of.
You were my first one and the best and you were everything that I was looking for.
I had been waiting not to be alone, I had been wandering about on my own.
You were the only thing that made sense. Now I can’t stand the thought that you’re with someone else
So won’t you come, won’t you come, won’t you come back to me?

I was running but now I’m hiding from the truth that I’m not believing
I was loving but now I’m hating the truth which is that I don’t have you.
I can’t believe it, that I threw it all away I gotta put things right yeah I want you back here to stay.
You are the only one I ever loved and you’re still the one that I am dreaming of.
So won’t you come, won’t you come, won’t you come back to me?

Come Back to Me

Come Back To Me
