Why do we always hurt the ones that we love?
We try so hard sometimes, its never enough 

We plan to make it work
We plan to dignify
But when the time comes
We don't even try 

"Hard working families"
What does that even mean?
Insinuating the poor are lazy 
For not being rich and lean 

Why do we always vote for the ones we know are wrong
Don't we know its better helping the weak over the strong? 

Finally, we need to say
Loud and proud
I won't work all day 
Just to be allowed 

To live and love
And just be

348. to live and love (harding).mp3

359. last christmas (wham).mp3

395. good riddance time of your life (green day).mp3

A yoga holiday in crete
Smashing plates around my feet
Don't worry they were specially made
There's no need to be afraid

Of the environmental footprint
It didn't cost a mint
I'm lying here in the sun
Eating greek salad, its a lot of fun

To drink the wine and downward dog
Lets hope my stomach won't honk
Namaste, pranayama, drishti and asana

Dont know what any of it means
get the mat and I'll meet you in my dreams
To the bar we frequent
More regularly than lent
Despite being a healthy holiday
We can eat what we like and party
We can eat what we like and party

420. wondering why (red clay strays).mp3

People walking by
I don't know why they're walking by
I don't know why I want to cry
I'm just keeping the world away

Sitting in the crowd
In the crowd they're really loud
In the dock she's really proud
I'm just keeping the world away

It's a feeling I get from time to time
Especially when I'm feeling this sublime

427. people walking by (harding).mp3

Oh I don't want to work today
I never said I'd work that way
Oh I don't want to work anymore 

Oh I don't want to work today
I never thought you'd make me say
That I don't want to work anymore 

Oh blue skies, what, what have you done to me
You gave me hope that I could see
But now it's just a malady 

Oh blue skies, take what you want from me
Drive me to the deep blue sea
Cos I can't take it anymore

435. I don't want to work no more (harding).mp3

Well your baby's got a breaking heart
But you don't care from the start
Because you, are just you

She's a wonderful girl to know
But you're a rat and I told you so
Because you, are just you

You treat em wrong and you break their hearts
And what is worse is from the start
You don't care what you do

445. because you are just you (harding).mp3

There's a sweet mystery that's far from me
Down in Antrim, County Antrim 

I couldn't tell if she's lost her way
Down in Antrim, County Antrim 

She stole my heart away
She left but she'll be back one day

446. county antrim (harding).mp3

448. take on me (a ha).mp3

450. bad moon rising (creedence clearwater revival).mp3

I can see into the distance
My life is off the ground
The path of least resistance
The path that takes me down 

And you are on the horizon
Please don't make me frown
I want to spend my life with you 

We can see many hurdles
That life will throw down
To knock us off our discourse
It levels in the round 

But you are on the horizon
Please don't make me frown
I want to spend my life with you 

Now my body is older
And things are getting tough
But i got my here folder 
Telling me this aint enough 

If I got to fight for you
I'm made of the right stuff
I want to spend my life with you

451. i want to spend my life with you (harding).mp3

My baby's got it written on her stone
She says you gotta make it on your own
She says live your life, don't be alone
But I don't have a heart of stone

It hurts, it hurts me now
It hurts, it hurts me now

Looking back, through the years
All the joy, and all the tears
The hills we climbed, and many walks
Lying in bed late at night, as we talked

472. written in stone (harding).mp3

Gettin kinda worried 
'bout my life partner
Watching serial killers
In a nordic drama
There's a glint in her eye
But she says "I won't harm ya"
Am I right to be scared?
A bit scared of ya 

Cold, calculated, late at night
I hear a chopping
And creaking of ice
I go in the kitchen
She's holding a knife
Something in the freezer
But it ain't that nice 

Don't want to live in a nordic drama
With a crazed, a crazed partner
Don't want to live in a nordic drama
With a crazed, a crazy partner 

I try to get away
Go to a hotel
She follows with an axe
And with a mighty blow
Severed heads rolling 
In a travel lodge
Blood spattered 
On the continental breakfast

473. nordic drama (biggle-harding).mp3

474. last christmas (wham).mp3

It's a miserable time of year
[1] If you don't drink beer
[2] There's nothing to cheer
It's a terrible time of year
If you're filled with fear

A lot of people pretend to be glad
But they're all really mad
It's a miserable time of year
A miserable time of year

"Tell it to the hand"
"Tell it to the face"
There's no politeness
There's no grace

On that note
Happy New Year
Miserable Time
Miserable Time

477. a miserable time of year (harding).mp3

Communication, communication 

Communication can be difficult these days
With all these devices blaring away
Communication through all the noise
Emotional detachment
Can distort our voice 

Can we work out our relationships?
Determine truth in our politics
Deepfakes deepfakes
Nobody knows what it takes
Asymetrical control
Rich white men control the globe
One of these days we'll take it back
And give the rich overlords the sack 

Communication, nobody knows whats going on
The fake news just goes on and on
Communication, tell me the truth
It's better to know, than continue to lose 

Control of everything
They even know our thoughts
Making profit from our every move 

Total domination
It's a revelation
One of these days
We'll take it back
And give the rich overlords the sack 

Communication

478. communication (harding).mp3

Folk indie punk singer songwriter, guitars, keyboard. Jordan Watkins co-wrote 7 songs and plays guitars on those songs (as attributed). Also writing credits (as attributed) to Nigel Boot, K. Biggle and M. Rambout on 8 songs.

Putting my stuff out there "where funk meets punk"- using dynamic Shure SM58 microphone and Ableton 11 live recording software. Hohner Strat, Epiphone ES339 guitar, Taylor GS Mini Acoustic, Hohner harmonica and Yamaha keyboard E463.

Fave bands - L7, Lemonheads, Fat Tulips, Joy Division, Strawberry Story, The Smiths, Shonen Knife, Sex Pistols, Heavenly, The Fall, Slits, Bhundu Boys, Vaselines, The Pastels, Teenage Fanclub, Shalewambe, Jonah Moyo, Billy Bragg, Felt, Velvet Underground, Jeffrey Lewis, Jimi Hendrix....plus loads of other stuff.

Thanks in particular to Damian Smith and the Journeymen, QB Bills and The Strums for getting me into the Soundcloud community, and John Stone for listening from the start, and all those great musicians around the world listening in. Wonderful that music that didn't even exist a day, or even hours ago gets to go around the world. Always brilliant to be amongst the first to hear new stuff.

Remember, inconsistency means, even if one track is dodgy, the next might be a masterpiece. Keep listening folks, and keep making great music.
