This song was an oily eel twisting and turning and refusing to bend to my will ,allways drifting into territories i did not intend to venture.
So i finally decided to surrender to its inherent will ,leaving creative control behind and presenting this slick beast as it choose to appear against my intention.
It was either that or killing it.

THE DRIFTER

Sometime you just need to put songs together and let it go.

I Know Too Much

We are not a cover band, although we do enjoy incorporating recognizable motifs and sounds into our songs as hooks to the past and a form of tribute to artists of the past.
This song is a shout out to Supertramp, The lyrics are a bit of a ‘poke’ at these so called ‘celebrities’ that got the looks, but little else going on. They even manage to write a book about their superficial lives…well…ok…they get someone else to do that for them. 
“Look at her body?” Hmmm…well we do, probably because there’s nothing else about ‘em. 
Musically, it was always about the keyboard sound in tension with the strings that called Supertramp - the band - to mind.

                                              SUPER TRAMP

She draped one leg over the arm…She got no wit, but she’s full of charm
I got my note book out to write down all the things that she…
Had not got in her own head…
She could not look me in the eye…It started to rain and I just wanna cry
Well here she come now…Super tramp

“I’m not a super, a super tramp
I’m not a super, a super tramp
Well, I’ve got more brains than you got britches
Got more schemes than you’ve got hitches…baby…baby”

There’s nothing more that you could say…
I’m just a fly upon the wall you want to swat away
Well here you are again, with your life story…Bore me…
“Look at ma baw-dee…(Look at her bawdee)  Ain’t I gaw-geous?
I got no brains but I can fake it…haha I mean…shake it for you!”
Well here she goes again…super tramp

(Body-shake-down:)

“Well I got more brains than you got britches
Got more schemes than you’ve got hitches…”
Oooooh….She’s dangerous …
Oooooh….She’s outrageous…
Oooooh….But it makes her lots of money!

I had to stop to rub my aching eyes, all she was full of was …
Expensive perfume and cheap surprise…that’s no surprise. 
But she couldn’t… buy a halo…
And so the book came out in July…It made her a $million, 
But I don’t know why…She’s still a super…super… tramp

William Blake's The Chimney Sweeper set to an old, Irish melody.

The Chimney Sweeper
by William Blake

A little black thing among the snow
Crying 'weep, 'weep, in notes of woe!
Where are thy father & mother? say?
They are both gone up to the church to pray.

Because I was happy upon the heath,
And smil'd among the winter's snow;
They clothed me in the clothes of death,
And taught me to sing the notes of woe.

And because I am happy, & dance & sing,
They think they have done me no injury,
And are gone to praise God & his Priest & King,
Who make up a heaven of our misery.

Rodolfo https://soundcloud.com/rplanes gave me this piece and title to write a lyric around. I was drawn to man's not unnatural obsession with the cosmos from the earliest days, through using it to navigate the world and gain power, to now potentially using it as a last ditch escape from our polluted and depleted home. I particularly enjoyed this song as I get to sing in Spanish and also a good proportion of this song is instrumental. So sit back and let this journey wash over you. Many thanks to Rodolfo for all his great work and a special thanks to you for listening. Mark

Southern Star by Rodolfo Planes and Mark J Bennett

It’s written in the stars,
When seen from Earth,
Venus… even Mars.
Whatever it’s worth.

The Southern Star 
The Southern Star 

Is that ‘Pie in the Sky’? 
Take the bait,
Maybe just a lie,
Trust in fate?

Estrella del sur
Estrella del sur
Estrella del sur
Es la clave,
Del rumbo del destino
Del rumbo del destino.
(Southern star, it's the key from the course of destiny)

Man’s knowledge and skill,
Charts land and sea.
In order to fulfil,
Destiny			
 
The Southern Star 
The Southern Star 

Celestial sphere,
Obscured now by,				
Tears and fear.
The end is nigh.

Sin la clave,
Nos niega el destino
El curso del…
El curso del	destino
(Southern star, without the key, fate denies us the course of destiny)

 
Need and hunger, 
Has our innocence
Rent asunder, 
By its wickedness
 
The Southern Star 
The Southern Star 

Escape to stars.
Throw right off of your
Shackles and bars.
We need to endure.

Lyrics:
Love's a Better Verb Than a Noun
Give Some and It Comes Around

Love's a Better Verb Than a Noun; Give Some and It Comes Around (with Vocals)

Hey sister... 
what do you think about the city you miss?
Is it better to just now remember?
Or fade away into a peaceful place

Cause you ain't goin' home... again
you can see the path that lies ahead of you bend...away...into the night
and if you ever find...your way...to the end
then I could finally sleep again.

So come on meet me down by the river... brother and sister
Come and feel the life return to your soul...in the water
and wash away those marks of a sinner...you might
and let them flow on down with the river...tonight.

Hey mother...and father
what do you see upon the road ahead...as your drive?
And have you come now to reconsider?
Or float the same way on to the end?

Cause you ain't comin' home
you can feel the years that lie behind you fade...away...into the night
and if you ever lose yourself...again
then I could finally leave...amen.

2x
So come on meet me down by the river... brother and sister
Come and feel the life return to your soul...in the water
and wash away those marks of a sinner...you might
and let them flow on down with the river...tonight.

So come on meet me down by the river... mother and father
Come and feel the life return to your soul...in the water
and wash away those marks of a sinner...you might
and let them flow on down with the river...tonight. Yea....

Down With The River

Coffee In Adelaide

Performed by David Cooper

Written by:

Music - David Cooper

Words - Ralph Donkin

Don't need no religion to pray
Don't need no opinion to say
Say what I feel
Pray when I kneel
It makes no difference to me

Don't need no secrets to keep
Don't need no dreams to sleep
Sleep when I'm tired
Secrets undesired
It makes no difference to me

Chorus

No tears
No fears
It's just the way that it is
No cheers
No jeers
It's just the way that it is

Don't need no physician to heal
Don't need no politician to steal
Steal from the poor 
Pain I'll endure
It makes no difference to me

Don't need no education to learn
Don't need to go back to return
Return to where
There's no knowledge to share
It makes no difference to me

Chorus

Don't need no flowers to grow
Don't need no ill wind to blow
Blow me a kiss
And if you miss
It makes no difference to me

It makes no difference to me
It makes no difference to me
It makes no difference to me

It Makes No Difference To  Me (Cooper/Donkin Collaboration)

I wrote this ballad about three years ago during my journey to Paris (At Louvre Museum), my personal feeling about vision of Mona Lisa was a mixture of sadness and astonishment, I hope you appreciate.
