Songwriter


Part 1
I don’t want to be a songwriter, songwriter no way
But I guess I don’t have a choice, it’s in my DNA

I don’t want to be a songwriter, songwriter not me
If I could be anything else, that’s what I would be.

I don’t want to be a songwriter, it takes up too much of my time
And I have to do clever things like find an non obvious rhyme for time

I don’t want to be a songwriter, songwriting’s a chore
All you ever do is write songs and then you write more and more and more and more

Middle 8
In the early hours in the middle of the night, deserted by Terpsichore
Haunted by the nightmares that come flooding through my sleep - my audience is sick of me, 
sick of me….. and I agree.

Part 2
I don’t want to be a songwriter, try to cease and desist
Then I get this rabid urge in me, one I cannot resist 

So I guess that I’m a songwriter, it’s just as I feared - but
I don’t want to be a songwriter, songwriters are weird 

I don’t want to be a songwriter, songwriter no sir
Now no-one needs to be a songwriter. Cos that’s what AI is for (apparently)

I don’t want to be a songwriter, but it’s the way I’ll stay
Guess I’ll always be a songwriter, it’s in my DNA ,DNA

Aurora



Here
Here in this silent place
Hurtling through outer space
Here

See
Watching those colours dance
Joyful in happenstance
See

Light my skies and lead me to tranquility
take me on a journey to my soul
Forward I will surely glimpse glimmering eternity 
Stretching out ahead of  me toward infinity
Making me whole

Here
Here in this silent place
Hurtling through outer space
Here

Heaven

V1
I sailed these seas alone
facing the darkness and the danger
Cut off from all I’ve known
Feeling myself a stranger

I was lost and I was alone
Couldn’t find a way home

V2
Adrift in the hurricane I was
Tossing and turning heavy weather
Then you came along and rescued me
Now we can face this storm together

I was lost and I was alone
But with you I’ll find a way home

Chorus
Heaven ______ is being here with you
Heaven ______ is every single little thing you do
Heaven ______ is when you look into my eyes
and show me you love me and I know you do

V3
I got to pinch myself
Hard to believe you’re real
But with you by my side
I’m on an even keel

I was lost and I was alone
But you you are my home

Chorus X2
Heaven ______ is being here with you
Heaven ______ is every single little thing you do
Heaven ______ is when you look into my eyes
and show me you love me and I know you do

Every single thing (just makes me happy)


Every single thing just makes me happy
Nothing ever makes me sad
Every single thing just makes me happy
I’m singing cos my heart is glad

Every single flower in the meadow
Every single snake upon the grass
Every single birdie in the treetops
Every single whisky in my glass

Every little thing just makes me happy
Nothing ever makes me sad
Every little thing just makes me happy
I’m singing cos my heart is glad

Even when the sun don’t shine
Even when my dog just died
Every single thing just makes me happy
And I laugh and laugh and laugh, until I cry!

Inertia

V1
Another moment in this madness 
Another day, another year
So many jobs I should be doing
But I kind of like it here

V2
Another crazy consternation
Another smile, another tear
So many places I would visit
But I kind of like it here

Chorus
I know my days are numbered
I know my backs against the wall
Yet I find myself encumbered
With the tiny detail of it all

V3
Another daze a desolation
As I wait for the future to appear
So many lives I could be living
but I kind of like it here

Chorus
I know my days are numbered
I know my backs against the wall
Yet I find myself encumbered
With the tiny detail of it all
