This Sound Society 

The first release under this name with me and Mike Fox and as we often invite other artists to collaborate with us we were thought it would be better to have a working collective name. 
Then we could list the individuals who contributed  in behind the track instead of loads of names on the covers. 
A song about one way relationships and the effects it leaves.
You try and nothing changes so you are done by the third verse. 
Hope you enjoy .

Sofa Surfing ( Brownie & Fox)

V1
Can we try try & fix this
It’s diy a diy relationship 
Can we take it take it somewhere 
Instead of going, going  nowhere 

Chorus 
Cause you and me, 
Are not meant to be 
Your love  is like I’m  sofa surfing 
Sofa surfing 

V2
It moves from one place to the next 
Never knowing what is for the best
I get feeling something is reeling 
I would like a duvet day your never around to stay 

Chorus 

V3
Its your friends again sleeping on my sofa 
Im running around like a personal chauffeur
So I’m calling it a day now I’ve had my say
I’m Protecting myself from you & my mental health 

Chorus to finish

Sofa Surfing ~ This Sound Society

When a complete stranger reaches out to another complete stranger in their hour of need.
She spends the time to find out what’s wrong and how it can be fixed.
Sits for hours just talking with tea, toast and sympathy. And most of all she listens in a world that talks at you. 
It’s a cry for help that’s answered  so he will always be grateful for Miss Rose White.

V1 
I could see her white dress silhouette heading for the railway  bridge 
Across the park as I’m balanced on this single ridge 
She said what are you doing hanging around up there 
I’m waiting for the last train cause I lost the will to care 
Well you will have a job cause the last one left the city at 11 o’clock 
It’s now two in the morning climb  down and tell me all your story 

Chorus 
On this night Miss Rose White she saved my life x2
Im not sure I would jump 
I was just a little drunk 
Hoping to be saved
And then you came 
On this night Miss  Rose White saved my life x2

V2
She asked my name I asked her the same she said Miss Rose White 
Such a pure beautiful soul 
On such a beautiful night 
My place  is just across the way 
You can have some tea and sympathy 
Everyone’s got a story to tell
So we sat for hours 
til  we bid our  farewell 
yesterdays battles have all been won
and try &  understand its all done
And let it go what’s in your head
It makes sense every single word she said



Chorus 
On this night Miss Rose White saved my life x2
I’m sure I would jump 
I was just a little drunk 
Hoping to be saved
And then you came 
On this night a white rose saved my life…….. x2

I thank you Miss Rose White

Miss Rose White ~ Conscience Of Kings

A song recorded in 2023 inspired by a documentary I watched based on the child care system in Great Britain.
So as we all get ready to enjoy Christmas with our family and friends spare a thought for this. 
There’re was a little boy who shared a memory that all he as left of his life with his real mother  was a few toy soldiers and a snow globe.
They sat on a shelve for him to think & remember that for whatever reason his mother gave him up. 
He was one of the lucky children who managed to get adopted and find a new loving family to take care of him. 
Others not so and stay In children’s homes until they were 18.
And here is the problem once they became 18 they became no longer a problem for the system. 
With  little or no help they  are expected to leave & fend for themselves without the love or security like a normal young person would expect from his family. 
The system is so floored & totally under funded hence kick the can down the street & watch it land at another’s feet.
Not the government’s problem anymore.
The adoption system is such a long draw out process that it puts future potential step parents off. 
So many children just stay in the system until they are 18 and then are classed as adults.
They may be adults but not ready for the world alone, outside the door.
We still guide our own adult children through their journey into further education, work, relationships, home buying & beyond.
It scares me that we have youths carrying knives & even guns for protection and in other cases just to conform to gang culture and be the big man. 
Im sure that a lot of these youths have a loving family, warm house, food in their belly & wear designer clothes. Yet still find the urge to harm someone because it makes them feel good and show off.
I’m sure we could write a fluffy Christmas song with all the cliches  but we choose not to. 
Hope you enjoy and pause for thought.
So we bring you Tiny Soldiers & Snow Globes…….. 



Intro Chorus 
Just kick the can down the street 
And when it lands at another’s feet
they can kick it on to the next 
That how they make out they are doing their best


V1
And the only thing on the upswing 
And what’s needed more & more 
(Are Tiny soldiers and snow globes
Just symbols of a life that he hardly knows x2)

Chorus 
Just kick the can down the street 
And when it lands at another’s feet
they can kick it on to the next 
That how they make out they  are doing their best
…………….
Tiny Soldiers & Snow globes x2
It’s an absolute mess 


V2 
And now it’s the end of care and totally unfair 
To defend  for yourself and to be thrown out
(Tiny soldiers & snow globes 
Are not something he can talk about x2)

Chorus 
Just kick the can down the street 
And when it lands at another’s feet
they can kick it on to the next 
That how they make out 
they are doing there best
……………….
Tiny Soldiers & Snow globes x2
Its an absolute mess 

 Middle 8  ending

And to all of you 
if only we really new
Just how lucky you really are
To be loved and treated 5star 
We all can’t have it all 
it’s really not fair 
Surely there’s enough love 
to go around and share
Unconditional love
for everyone 
but someone lost the will to care
And moved his chair x4
Tiny soldiers & Snow globes 
We all can’t have it all 



Tiny Soldiers & Snow Globes - Conscience Of Kings

The second track I have done with The Gatsbys and it’s always a pleasure to be asked to collaborate.
Dirk sent me the instrumental and like before I was blown away by his guitar work & melody.
I contributed the lyrics and vocal melodies to this.
It was an honour that he used Nothing left to defend on his latest album Cancel the winter.
So to be asked again was always going to be a yes. 
The  Gatsbys always create that live indie band sound on final recordings  especially with Bens percussion work. 
I hope you enjoy the track as I enjoyed singing on it.
We give you The Gatsbys with Gaz Brownie….



V1
He would never catch you when you fall 
Like humptey dumptey on the nursery tale wall 
I’m that 3am person who you can always call
I’ve got your back and I do what you ask 

Bridge
Suck it up……. buttercup 
Let’s Drop a gear……. let’s disappear 
This was built on sand  like sand slips through your hands
So Suck it up……. Oh my buttercup 


V2 
I will always show up when your down on your luck 
We’re all born to  places and seldom thunderstruck 
Somewhere along the way we all lose ourselves 
We must  come back stronger to say our Fairwells 

Chorus 
Whitheat happiness 
Will take away this   heavyness
White heat happiness 
It’s a long drive to confess your happiness 


V3
Let’s move away from what we only know 
To a place where we enjoy the feeling of the afterglow 
Where every single  eye only see the now
To Rebuild again & be happy Somehow 


Bridge 
Suck it up……. buttercup 
Let’s Drop a gear……. let’s disappear 
This was built on sand  like sand slips through your hands
So Suck it up……. Oh my buttercup 


V4 
I just wanna be your whiteheat happiness
And be that warrior who takes away the sadness 
Friends with benefits can’t last forever 
So look no further for your buried treasure 

Bridge 
Suck it up……. buttercup 
Let’s drop a gear……. let’s disappear 
This was built on sand  like sand slips through your hands
So Suck it up……. buttercup 


V5 
Drive in my head im six months down line 
Time as been the healer and now you are mine
I am yours and there is another new bloodline
To be arriving in 9 months from treasure to a goldmines

Chorus 
White heat happiness 
Will take away this heavyness
White heat happiness 
It’s a long drive to confess….
Your happiness

Whiteheat Happiness - The Gatsbys with Gaz Brownie

The Tower ( Brownie, Fox & Daniels)
By :This Sound Society 

A song inspired by taking my 89 year mother to The Vintage Boys  Rock n Roll show.
A three piece harmony group backed by a fantastic band.
After the gig my mother reminisced about her own rock n roll days mainly at The Tower Ballroom where she danced the night away with her sister, brothers & friends.
So I thought I would love to create a three part harmony song with a twist of vintage and modern rock n roll thrown in. 
Magic Mike Fox loves a challenge and Nat Daniels is always up for a sing a long with me & Mike . So from basically an acoustic version to this power house. Magic Mike waved his wand and it’s happened. 

The Tower Ballroom was an attraction in Birmingham England which opened to the public in March 1876 and closed permanently in 2017 and was demolished in 2022.
It held 150 years of history and It was located beside Edgbaston reservoir. 
The Tower Ballroom hosted a wide variety of events, including roller-skating, ice-skating, dancing, discos, weddings, boxing matches, theatre, and musical performances including many famous names that graced its revolving stage. 
It was the place to go in the late 50s/60s onwards for the young people of Birmingham to enjoy the thrill of a big live music and dance venue.
Many romances, marriages and divorces were down  to The Tower . 
My own parents meet at The Tower and went on to  have a wonderful marriage.
So I dedicate this tune to my parents and all those stories my mother told me about it and how iconic it was.
It feels like a part of me and I did visit it myself a few times for a night out  usually after yet another refurbished in the 80s/ 90s. 
The picture cover is a photo of the queue for that last ever afternoon dance. Couples who meet at The Tower and got married were asked to attend to give it a good send off before being demolished. 
Would especially like to thank Mike for his patience as always with me and most of all his incredible musicianship, producing & nice guy skills.
Nat for  another awesome vocal performance and the infectious energy she always brings.
Top people are hard to find and I’m eternally grateful to have collaborated with so many on this app and look forward to another fruitful year creating great music with great people.
This Sound Society gives you ….

The Tower 

V1
She looked across the reservoir 
Where she stood for many  years 
The Cupid of this 2nd city
With romance marriage & tears 
And if wasn’t for the tower I wouldn’t be here right  now 
It where my parents eyes meet on a dance floor somehow 

Ch
Come on …let’s  meet at The Tower
What a time to be alive 
Come on …. Let’s meet at The Tower 
walk , bus, tram or drive 
Come on. Feel the power 
Welcome to the Tower

V2
To all them happy endings & tales of the reser  banks
This is our song we are singing to send love with a massive thanks 
She had Bowie, New Order, The Smiths, The Who just to name a few 
From the 50s, 60s, 70s,  80s 90s  what decade were  you 

Finish on a double chorus ..    


The Tower ~This Sound Society

A song I will let you make up your own mind to what you think it’s about.
Another solo effort as I’m trying to get a better understanding of organic recording & mixing while pushing the limits to my mini boss.
Gaz Brownie gives you ……..

Glide Across The Lake 

I’m breaking bread inside my head
After every single word that you said 
Your the closest thing to perfection 
I need another fix
just just another one of your injections

Chorus 
I watch you 
glide across the lake 
With elegance & grace 
I watch you 
glide across the lake 
With elegance& grace


V2
And the papers headlines reads today
She glided even better than yesterday 
The Angel of the water doesn’t make a splash
She makes it look easy for love or for  cash 

Chorus 
 
M/8

Angels on earth are now 
a witness to my life
The past doesn’t have to be the 
future 
please take me across 
tonight x4

Outro
I watch you x4
Glide across the lake

Glide Across The Lake - Gaz Brownie

Back in 2003 I was in a covers band called Airplay and we went in the studio off the advice of our agent to record 3 live cover tracks for promo.
This was so we had a product to use as a reference for bookings. 
The Darkness -I believe in a thing called Love
James - Sit Down 
& The Undertones - Teenage Kicks 

I read recently that 
The Darkness have scored a Number One on the US iTunes Rock Chart after Taylor Swift was seen dancing to the band’s seminal hit ‘I Believe In A Thing Called Love’ with boyfriend Travis Kelce at the US Open tennis.
Thinking to myself after reading this I thought I’m sure I recorded that track the same year it was released in 2003 as it was a great energetic party track for the set. I’m sure there are many covers of it on SC but this one was literally months after its number 2 chart position in England. 
I finally found it and converted it over,  so for a bit of fun I’m thought I would release it and maybe release the other two in the future at some point.
First time I’ve released a cover so should be interesting how it’s received.
I give you Airplay the covers band with me on lead vocals.
Lee Hughes - Guitars
Andy Harris -Bass
Kev Smith - Keyboards 
Dave Robins - Drums 

I believe in a thing called Love……


I Believe In A Thing Called Love (Cover) Airplay

Another song recorded recently.
I’m always blown away by Nooblys production but this was off the scale for me I literally send him files of main vox & backing harmonies and leave him to it. My reaction was Wow  this sounds ridiculous.
I never know what to expect as he loves to experiment with them and chops and changes the arrangements for maximum effect. Such a talented producer as well as musician and great friend.
The song tells the story of how you evolve from a relationship to realise that it isn’t going anywhere. She thinks it just a blip but you know it’s just your evolution from the situation & time to move on because now you are ready. 
Conscience of Kings give you …….

My Evolution 

Intro
Our traffic lights of life
Went  from Blue green yellow to red
passing souls  in the night 
Knowing something isn’t right 

This is my evolution 
Not a mini  revolution 

V1 

It’s not the person who changes it only the mask that’s falling off 
There are reminders everywhere 
To a time when I really cared

Chorus 
This is isn’t a revolution 
Just part of my evolution 
There is no solution 
This is just my Constitution
To my…… evolution 

Lead break

V2 

So I’m going to finish it 
and leave it right here 
Don’t wanna see what tomorrow brings 
I know we’ve been closer than Close
That seems like a long time ago, now I feel like your ghost

Ch

Outro 
You can call it a mini revolution, it’s
It’s still my evolution 
It doesn’t make a difference. There is no solution.
It’s just my evolution from you

My Evolution ~ Conscience Of Kings

Back in 2003 I was in a covers band called Airplay and we went in the studio off the advice of our agent to record 3 live cover tracks for promo.
This was so we had a product to use as a reference for bookings. 
The Darkness -I believe in a thing called Love ( on my cloud) 
James - Sit Down 
& The Undertones - Teenage Kicks 

The James song "Sit Down" had a number of chart positions. Its original version reached number 77 on the UK Singles Chart in 1989. A re-recorded version released in 1991 reached number 2 in the UK Singles Chart. The song also had a peak position of 53 in 2017.
The song "Sit Down" by James, written by Tim Booth, expresses a sense of shared vulnerability and offers a comforting message of support and connection. It's often interpreted as an anthem for those struggling with mental health, specifically dealing with loneliness, sadness, and the feeling of being "touched by madness." 
It was always a favourite of mine in the covers band as it’s now become an anthem on indie playlists. The track as been streamed over 109 million times on Spotify. 
The last time I personally performed it was in Spain back in 2019 and enjoyed every minute. 
I must admit we did rock it up from the original ! 
Hope you enjoy this cover……
I give you Airplay the covers band with me on lead vocals.
Lee Hughes - Guitars
Andy Harris -Bass
Kev Smith - Keyboards 
Dave Robins - Drums

Sit Down -Airplay (James Cover)

Lyrical wrote from my thoughts about the run up to the last general election. Thinking the last clowns made a complete hash of it and the next clowns will do exactly the same.
So who the bloody hell do I vote for. If I don’t vote then I can’t complain if I do vote I fear it will be the wrong choice. Someone told me if I write on the ballot paper none of the above then that still registers as a vote, so at least I tried. 
The idiom "pressure makes diamonds" suggests that adversity and challenges can lead to remarkable outcomes. It implies that difficult situations or intense pressure can bring out a person's best qualities, potential, and resilience, ultimately resulting in something valuable or brilliant, just as diamonds are formed under immense pressure. 
But these idiots under pressure only make dust !
So Conscience Of Kings gives you 
Pressure makes diamonds …..


V1
In plain sight I can see the  red flag’s flying 
So fire away again with compulsive lying 
As I’m high up  here in the middle England 
Rubbing doc leaves on for the stinging

Chorus 
Pressure makes diamonds 
And you just make dust
Pressure makes diamonds x3
Not something we can trust 

V2 
This country make’s stupid people famous 
Then tries to make out that they are somehow blameless 
I have no idea we’re I would put my stupid x 
They will be just as bad as the last I suspect

Break 

Middle8 
There’s a saying in Europe 
And You can look it up
It’s really quite unusual 
Something they don’t trust 

Chorus to finish

Pressure Makes Diamonds ~Conscience Of Kings

A tribute song to the late great Mike Peters of The Alarm who left this world in April 2025, leaving a fantastic legacy behind, one of the good guys.
This song is about my introduction to his music and how it stayed with me shaping my music taste forever.

A cold winter night in December 1983 I witnessed something special that made me stand up and take note for the rest of my life. 
I had brought some really cheap tickets for The Police from a college friend. So off we went  me & my best mate to watch The Police at Birminghams Nec arena. 
Not really giving much thought to who was supporting them. 
We walked in the auditorium to hear the support band just kicking off their set. 
Wow the noise the energy the vocals of the charismatic front man Mike Peters and his band The Alarm .
I was blown away how they rocked this Police audience with their  powerful set  of songs it felt they had took the roof off and welcomed themselves to me.
From that night onwards I fell in love with them and a moment had happened. 
Their single 68 guns was yet to be released as the album was due out very soon called Declaration. 68 guns was an hit and The Alarm had earned their status as one of the best new bands around especially live. 
They went on to support U2, Bob Dylan , Springsteen & Queen gaining a loyal following of fans. While also touring as the headliners on their own shows. 
Mike Peters even fronted Big Country on their comeback tour.
I have lost count how many times I have seen The Alarm and Mike Peters solo shows over the years. 
I watched The Police that night and thought these guys are going through the motions and Sting live never sounded like the record almost changing his vocal style. I’m so glad I was introduced to The Alarm at 16 to show me what live music should be like. 
Mike Peters died on 28th April 2025 at the age of 66 after a 30 year battle with blood cancer. He was diagnosed with lymphoma in 95. Mike was awarded a MBE 2019 for his services to cancer care.
He was a passionate advocate for cancer care, founding the Love Hope Strength Foundation with a fellow patient and using his platform to raise awareness and funds for cancer research. 
Mike Peters also gained the cooperation of a group of young musicians from Chester called the Wayriders to lip-sync the Alarm's material and pass it off as their own. The first release by the fictitious band was promoted as a cover of the Alarm's 1983 hit 68Guns In fact it was the Alarm all along, and instead of a cover, it was a re-released version. The demo enticed executives in music & music production to record an album from the band called In The Poppy Fields which saw its advance release of the single, "45 RPM" entering Britain's top 30 chart. Critical reviews of the band echoed the promoters' official introduction of the band as a tribute to bands like Sex Pistols and The Clash with even more modern acts like Rancid being compared. The truth of the song's origin was not revealed until after the song entered the charts at number 24, a credit originally earned by the Poppy Fields from unsuspecting patrons who had accepted the act as fresh and new.
In a nutshell he duped the music industry showing them as ageist and only new cool music can only come from the young apparently.
The Hairy Hippie was his first ever band formed with his schoolmates to perform at his sister's 21st birthday party. 
So Rip Mr Hairy Hippie is quite fitting really as he had a fine mop of hair through out  his career. Thank you to Mike Fox as always for making ideas a reality with his skill sets and encouraging enthusiasm and incredible patience. 
Big thanks to Ken of K2 & The Three for his Twist style drums that drove the tune. 
Hope you enjoy listening as much as we did creating it.

Anthem Of Resilience - This Sound Society

When Noobly sent me the instrumental I was blown away with its beauty. My instant thought was that I have to come up with something as equal and meaningful. I had to write from the heart and I have always had a vivid memory of the last time I spent with a close friend a week before his passing.
 I’ve tried to paint the picture from my head into the lyrics.
There’s not a day I don’t think or mention him as it’s the third anniversary this year of his death.
He died of liver cancer that took him swiftly from this world. He left a Wife  and two beautiful young adult daughters. 
Rest in peace Andy my friend and I will never forget the laughs you gave me and support over our long 
Friendship.
Conscience of Kings gives you ….

The last time

V1 
You  opened the door 
With me containing the shock 
You lead me down the garden path
To where the sun shone on the evening grass
Giving warm to our last time and past

Ch 
I just knew 
Its the last time with you 
You made it easy just being you 
A paragon of virtue 

V2 
You offered me a non alcoholic beer
Like it was the way forward from here
So we touched glass and said our final cheers ……
Me in my T-shirt & shorts you layered up to contain the warmth 
We drank we laughed we reminisced about our stupid past.
I will always be grateful for memories that always last

I just knew it was the last time with you……repeat

Ch 
I just knew 
Its the last time with you 
You made it easy just being you 
A  paragon of virtue 

Cover picture a Noobly original taken by himself, what a shot.

The Last Time ~ Conscience Of Kings

Love them or hate them, believe me or believe me not. Say what you think of this band who are like Marmite to many but gods to many more.
This certain band of late as reformed and caused hysteria in Great Britain with tickets selling out in hours with expectations, excitement and a need to see them live after 16 years. 
A songwriter that draws on his record collection to write incredible sing along anthems and a front man with attitude that’s pure rock n roll. 
Yes we are talking about Oasis!
My kids are in  their late 20s and a part of the GenZ generation and we’re only just born in the Britpop boom and me I was fronting my own band playing that style of music at that time.
The GenZ  age group don’t talk about The Beatles as the holy grail as many of my generation did. 
Their bands now are Oasis, Blur, The Verve,  Stone Roses etc. And like us with The Beatles we were too young to actually see them in their hay day. 
The GenZ generation have claimed Oasis for them for themselves and I think that is fantastic. My sons and his friends are idolising men who are the same age as their fathers. It’s funny but also weird that they don’t see their age they only see them as cool  with amazing  music.
I’ve seen all the bands they love and Oasis even played at a music venue in Birmingham called The Jug Of Ale that I played at. Oasis were supporting a local Birmingham band in 1994 to around 30 people. 
Ive watched the footage so far of Cardiff, Manchester & London and to be fair they sound fantastic in their 50s better than when I saw them in the the hay day of the 90s.
This song is just an expression of how a bunch of kids from a council estate who sat at the back of the class and are now in their fifty’s can make such an lasting effect on generations to come. 
This is just how me and maybe you got inspired when we were young to wanna be in a band. I definitely know I was a kid from the back of the class with hopes and dreams of being a rock star. 
Let’s hope by Inspiring the kids to pick up guitars and bring back real music that AI doesn’t take over the music industry like a recent AI band The Velvet Sundown!  
All I’ve heard is best gig ever from anyone who as been so far. So fair play Oasis for pulling off the biggest come back in music history. 
Conscience Of Kings gives you ….

These Are  The boys 

V1 
The council estate kings
With a soundtrack to our lives
Musical influence that just can’t be denied 
A pre social media age that was just a better time
From singing on the terraces
To rising  out the grime 

Chorus 
I told 
GenZ it’s all been said 
You claimed for yourselves instead 
These are the boys from the back of the class
Theses are the boys who are bringing it back x2

These are the boys…..they are your teachers,  your preachers 

V2
They broke through the dusty ceiling and shattered the glass
Like the icons before them they said it could never last
They made kids on council estates pick up guitars to thrash
Oh my son these are the boys from the back of the class

Chorus 

Into : 
These are the boys from the back of the class x4 

Lead break 

These are the boys from the back of the class 








These Are The Boys ~ Conscience Of Kings

I was listening back to my band from back in the 90s This Elegant Chaos and thinking this needs to be heard again. 
This was a band that formed quickly from other bands we had all been in previously.
With 90s Britpop/ Indie Alternative Rock still very relevant. I thought these tracks need a fresh outing. 
I would consider this band to be some of my best work to date. 
So I’ve decided to release a track every time I have a space in between current releases. 
This track Dreaming Of Johnny is about a dream I had about meeting John Lennon after he faked his own death to be free from media/ music industry pressure. He was living in Walsall on Sea in the West Midlands in a flat. 
Yes I know it doesn’t make any sense but it’s a dream. Tells the story of meeting him and explaining why he faked his death. 
The band were formed  in 1997 by Simon Bayliss and myself .
Simon a bassist and me a vocalist we had a handful of songs that needed a band of seasoned musicians to bring them alive. I recruited former band members of previous projects Lee Hughes & Rob Adams (guitarists) and Dave Robins (drums). 
Within months the band were recording and playing live with several labels showing an interest. 
Our first deal was with Holier than Thou Records but we left without releasing anything due to financial reasons. 
Our first release was a  7 Track 
EP “Hello Thane” on Quicksilver Records, quickly followed by our  debut album Virtue Circle released on Underground label Music & Elsewhere, which became a best seller for the  label. 
The album was then remastered and re-released back on Quicksilver Records in cd format, re-intitled “Virtue Circle Revisted”, M&E dealing with distribution.
Probably the best work to date was the final album Magino Line also released on Quicksilver Records. Unfortunately Simon had to leave before the second album due to work commitments with Artist Naomi of Gut Records. This lead to ‘Sarge’ Mark Sargent taking over bass duties. 
This Elegant Chaos bowed out in 2001 after the previous years sell out gig at Ronnie Scott’s. It was a wonderful time to be in a band with such talented musicians. 
Early 2020 we were released again on Music & Elsewhere to celebrate the labels 30th anniversary. This was a collection of the labels favourite songs in a download format.
This Elegant Chaos give you ……

Dreaming Of Johnny (This Elegant Chaos ~ Magino Line Album)

V1
Asked a man standing outside a lift
Does a genius live here with a certain gift
He pointed his finger to the very top floor
But saying that I can’t be sure
We was elevated to floor nine
When I knocked it was all out of time
She open the door dressed in lace
I’d finally arrived at Johnny’s place

Chorus 1
Dreaming of Jonny
My friend and me
Dreaming of Jonny
Is this reality

V2
A grubby white room with a yellow table
Just like my mothers, only more stable
You have failed me in your far as dream
As he offered me coffee with cream
I faked my death to be free
But that’s just between you and me
Dreams are sometimes closer than reality
Waking up, reveals the true brutality

Full Chorus 2
Dreaming of Jonny
My friend and me
Dreaming of Jonny
Is this reality
Dreaming of Johnny 
Suburban coastlines
Dreaming of Johnny 
He lives at number 9

Middle 8
Imagine whatever gets you through the night
If it’s instant Karma, then I’m losing you
I am I beautiful boy, playing mind games
Where what why and who

Dreaming of Johnny 
Dreaming of Johnny 

Finish on a full chorus 




Dreaming Of Johnny - This Elegant Chaos

A song I wrote back in early 2021 and probably one of the first after learning the guitar after a 20 year hiatus from any music, live or recording.
The wife brought me a lovely fender acoustic after I said on holiday in Santo Tomas that  I really wished I had learnt to play the guitar so the following Christmas the present arrived.
Another poignant moment was when my younger lad set up a soundcloud account in lockdown for my band This Elegant Chaos and loaded the albums and singles we had done. It had been such a long time since I had listened to the tracks it lite a fire in me to do it again. 
My family house was surrounded with guitars as my dad was a guitarist and my older brother who still is and still plays live & records with his original band The Bleeding Hearts. I just wanted to sing not showing any interest in learning which really annoys me now as it would have gave me a better understanding of the writing process. Instead of singing my vocal melodies to my band members expecting them to find the cords to match . 
This song explains the moment I reconnected with my past and was now my future again. 
I sent the original sketch from four years ago to Mike and he loved it.
I was such a novice to home recording back then that I always wanted to hear a well produced version.
I didn’t really give Mike any musical guidance on this just left it in his capable hands. 
I think it’s good to be brave at times and let the people who know what they are doing to just get on with it. 
Well another top mark from Magic Mike Fox as always.
So thank  you Mike for believing in the ideas and making them happen
With such passion and skill.

V1
Reconnect me I forgot I still cared 
This feels strange after 20 years 
Lost my love for this and I was full of doubt
There were moments when I was missing this
Santo Tomàs was sent to reclaim me
And brought me back to where I was lost
 
Chorus 
So let’s reconnect 
To the days when we were at our best
So let’s reconnect 
When we felt so invincible 
We’re our diminishing youth was incredible 
So let’s reconnect 

V2
Now when I listen I listen with pride
A little biased but I think thats my right
It stands up and stands the test of time
My sons voices sound  just  like mine 
I hope a little of me came out in both of you 
We laughed cried and became inseparable 

Middle 8
Ive now got old and feel less pressure 
Different things brings new found pleasure
Do I wanna be young like Peter Pan forever
I’m not old really just unclaimed treasure 

Chorus to finish

A song we recorded back in April 2024 about how we talk about all the things that our wrong but it doesn’t make a difference.
Great Britain is broken at the moment and seriously needs fixing but know one seems to know how.
A new government as appeared to make it worse yet told us we can sort this.
The poorest are getting poorer and the richest are getting richer. The world will never be equal but when a country of our wealth is struggling we know something is wrong. 
Working families can’t pay the basics bills or put food on the table because prices have gone through the roof.
We pump chemical factory waste directly into our rivers because someone’s getting an handout somewhere along the line. Meanwhile the wildlife dies and can’t recover. 
Our incredible NHS system is on its knees & so under funded with record waiting lists for every treatment.
Wars in other countries that have a massive effect on our Country. 
We talk about all these things bringing them in with talking about the weather, football scores & VAR. 
It would just be nice to talk about the good things that make life worth living instead of doom & gloom. 
Conscience of Kings gives you …..

V1.
I anit talking about political domination

I anit talking about var &  football scores 

Chorus 
Cause it doesn’t make a difference 
What I’ve got to say 
Whenever was the world equal 
For the every day people x2



V2. 
I anit talking about the lack of funds NHS 
I anit talking about the mental health mess 
I anit talking about  prices  when renewing 
I anit talking about what the weather is doing

What I’ve got to say 
Whenever was the world equal 
For  every day people x2

Whenever was the world equal for the everyday people (repeat to end)

To The Everyday People ~Conscience Of Kings

Another song from my band .
This song was used along with Window On The Universe as a promo single for the release of the album Magino Line.
The promo was called World v The Universe on Quicksilver  Records and I recently seen it being sold on a record shop site. I don’t even have a copy myself of the promo.
It was originally released in 1999.  The song refers to Richard Ashcroft who wouldn’t get up to receive an award for his work and the presenter Eddie Izzard said well that’s like going to a disco and not getting up to dance. And I thought what a pretentious twat. 
A brief history about the band.
The band were formed  in 1997 by Simon Bayliss and myself .
Simon a bassist and me a vocalist we had a handful of songs that needed a band of seasoned musicians to bring them alive. I recruited former band members of previous projects Lee Hughes & Rob Adams (guitarists) and Dave Robins (drums). 
Within months the band were recording and playing live with several labels showing an interest. 
Our first deal was with Holier than Thou Records but we left without releasing anything due to financial reasons. 
Our first release was a  7 Track 
EP “Hello Thane” on Quicksilver Records, quickly followed by our  debut album Virtue Circle released on Underground label Music & Elsewhere, which became a best seller for the  label. 
The album was then remastered and re-released back on Quicksilver Records in cd format, re-intitled “Virtue Circle Revisted”, M&E dealing with distribution.
Probably the best work to date was the final album Magino Line also released on Quicksilver Records. Unfortunately Simon had to leave before the second album due to work commitments with Artist Naomi of Gut Records. This lead to ‘Sarge’ Mark Sargent taking over bass duties. 
This Elegant Chaos bowed out in 2001 after the previous years sell out gig at Ronnie Scott’s. It was a wonderful time to be in a band with such talented musicians. 
Early 2020 we were released again on Music & Elsewhere to celebrate the labels 30th anniversary. This was a collection of the labels favourite songs in a download format.

V1
Some may recall a certain fall
And the up-and-coming, who stand so tall 
There was a man who would not walk 
But he made some sense in all his mumble talk 
There’s many that were ignored which left a view to be adored The toilet jokes came thick and fast. They’re not funny they don’t make me laugh

Bridge 
It’s like going to a disco and not getting up to dance  x2

Chorus 

Cause this is your world and we just live in it 
Your world and we just give it you 
Cause this is your world and we just live in it 
And l……………want it back tonight 

V2
Where do we go Where have we been 
When  we are travelling into this newfound scene
Time is demanding when you’re being stifled 
Another bullet in your rack of rifles 
It only took an hour of my time 
To see how much we shine 
The lightning strikes a direct shot 
Doesn’t take long and you are forgot 

Bridge 
It’s like going to a disco and not getting up to dance  x2

Chorus 

Cause this is your world and we just live in it 
Your world and we just give it you 
Cause this is your world and we just live in it 
And l……………want it back tonight 

Middle8
When a genius babes in a bath and horses and all we can do is ride different courses
When you’re so far up your own fucking arse
And what you create is a total farce

Bridge 
It’s like going to a disco and not getting up to dance  x2

Chorus 
Cause this is your world and we just live in it 
Your world and we just give it you 
Cause this is your world and we just live in it 
And l……………want it back tonight 
I wanna back tonight 
Wanna back it back tonight

Your World -This Elegant Chaos

I wasn’t to sure about this song when I first wrote it but it’s grown on me now.
So I’ve decided to release it and it’s just a simple ditty recorded on my mini boss.
There’s something very organic and rewarding about recording on the box as it’s referred to.
So I hope you like and you can make up your own mind what you think it about so answers on a post card to my comments.

The Charm 

V1
Picking up the pieces without you on my mind 
Enough time to get my ducks in a row and keep them in a line
From Memphis to Mars this time it’s gone to far
Never ever will, I become feathered and tarred 

Chorus 
So you feel a little melancholy
That’s not the reason for saying sorry
the third time is not going to be the 
charm x2

V2
Every queue you are at you put near the back
And every argument we have, I’m always the end of your sad
Chasing material highs for things, you can never have
I’m gonna find the one for me & grow from a bonsai tree

Finish on Chorus 
Repeating …. The third time is not going to be the charm

The Charm - Gaz Brownie

The football season is up and running in the uk and there will be many arguments about how much time is spend watching it.
Men & women up & down the country not getting then household diy jobs/ chores done In favour of going to the game or down the pub to watch it. Living it, breathing it and talking about it . 
It’s about comparing relationships to a football match and who gets the upper hand when the arguments start. A little tongue in cheek but let’s play political football…
And see who wins……


Let’s play political football 
Your the nine and it’s kick off time 
My side seems to never matter 
Let’s play political football
I’ve gone and suffered another fracture 

There’s a hunger in you for more 
Always wanna be the one who scores 
Running around with your shirt on your head 
The best thing we have seen  since sliced bread 
Your the number 9 
And it’s ko time 
Your the number 9 
About to Cross the line 

Let’s play political football x2
Your the number 9 
And it’s kick off time 
Your the number 9
About to cross the line 
Let’s see if we can make to half time 

Let’s play political football 
Your the number 9 
And it’s kick off time 
I try and find a way to walk this back ………….
For you it’s 3 points in the onion bag

Lead break 

Let’s play political football x2
Your the number 9 
And it’s kick off time 
Your the number 9 
About to cross the line 
Another yellow before half time 

Outro 
Let’s play political football
Your the number 9 
And it’s now full time

Political Football ~ Conscience Of Kings

This was an idea that had been kicking around in my head for a while. 
Then I wrote the lyrics while lying on a sun bed on my hols. 
A story about two men dating the same woman and having to share her. Their not happy but she’s enjoying them both for different reasons. 
One man has the cash to flash the other is partially broke but she’s enjoying them both equally for different reasons. 
They all know the score but can’t make up their minds to just walk away. 
I’m sure this goes on but this is just a tongue in cheek that’s  a little giggle of a song and to put a smile on your face while listening. 
And no it’s not from my past experiences  lol. 
Thanks as always to Mike for just being the best as always, converting sketch’s into full blown productions while making me laugh on the way. Last but not least Kim for her sultry vocal contributions that had a bit of Beautiful South Magic. 
Both are a true professionals & a pleasure to work with once we have dragged Kim out the pub.

V1
I like to wine & dine you in the best 
Restaurants Mitchell star

(It really doesn’t matter because I getting the best of both )
It really doesn’t matter boys because we are all getting daily oats )
In the morning it’s salmon with poached eggs on french one sided posh toast 
It’s a strong brew & cornflakes & another notch on the bedpost 

Chorus 

If only we could make up  our minds 
If only this was a sign of the  times
In this three point love affair x2


V2
I can’t share you anymore with this caveman neanderthal 
Hey pretty boy it’s not all about you you don’t  have a clue
(I’m enjoying this boys can’t we stay close

Good night Neanderthal I hope you have the worst nightmares 
Look pretty boy just remember I’m the other side of our share

3 Point Love Affair - This Sound Society

This was recorded and completed back in December 2022 so three years old soon. 
Lyrical a song made up of my complete imagination that is never a reality or ever will be.
The original Robin Hood as long gone and now lives forever up in the clouds of the afterlife.
He used to steal from the rich to give to the poor now he as a new assignment to stop people being used in love and taken for their feelings & wealth.Stopping the gold diggers and scammers.
He checks his accounts finds his assignment and lands in a seedy bar as bait to rip out her heart so she never loves anyone and they never love her. 
Where does it all come from, I have no idea but real life can be dull at times. So a little imagination helps to make it interesting.
Conscience Of Kings gives you ……..

Robin Hood Of Romance 

V1
Leaning on the bar minding my own business 
Over she strolls she  anit seeking no forgiveness 
She  said I will have a G&T cause that’s my drink
Looks me straight in the eye with a cheeky little wink 
I’m sorry I’m is invested in my Maid Marion 
She looked a little confuse like I been drinking 

Chorus 
Hello I’m the new Robin Hood 
of the romance x2
I’m going to steal your heart 
And tear it right in half
And make you understand  
love is not some kind of  cheap demand


V2
You don’t know me but you know who you are 
You broke the hearts of many in this fragile bar 
I’ve been waiting here for you to a arrive 
Sent to you  to avoid another Swan dive 
You puncher the lungs and suck the air right out
Tonight it ends cause I’m assigned to your account

Chorus 
Hello I’m the new Robin Hood 
of the romance x2
I’m going to steal your heart 
And tear it right in half
And make you understand  
love is not some kind of cheap demand


Outro

The cost of everything  the value of nothing x2

Hello I’m the new Robin Hood of Romance x2
The cost of everything  the value of nothing x2
Hello I’m the new Robin Hood of Romance

Another blast from This Elegant Chaos this track was the first single from our second album Magino Line. 
Tells the tale of a  Kaleidoscope relationship that was to dangerous  but some things you just cant get enough of !

A brief history about the band.
The band were formed  in 1997 by Simon Bayliss and myself .

Kaleidoscope Spiral

Kaleidoscope Spiral -This Elegant Chaos

When Im out walking in the countryside I often look up & see The Common Buzzard that as made an astonishing come back.
The "comeback" of the common buzzard refers to its successful recovery as the most common bird of prey in the UK, after being persecuted by gamekeepers and declining due to pesticide use in the mid-20th century. Legal protection and a reduction in pesticides have allowed populations to rebound, and they are now found almost everywhere in the country. This recovery is considered a major conservation success story. 
So back to the idea of the song which was recorded June 2024.
Crows pursue common buzzards a behavior called mobbing to defend their territory. By harassing the buzzard, the crows try to drive it away from their nest site, which is a common defense mechanism for many birds. 
I can never understand why the powerful buzzard just doesn’t turn and take the crow out with it’s incredible sharp talons. 
The idea I have linked to dating and trying to free yourself from the worst  brief two dates of your life yet she still persists in pursuing the third one.
Chasing you down just like the Crow with the Buzzard.
Hope this makes sense as my imagination always tries to think outside the box with lyrics.
Conscience Of Kings gives you ….

The Buzzard and the Crow 

V1
Just like the scratches you left down my back 
There a reminder of our brief past 
I turn my  talons to be a  lethal assassin 
ever time I looked up that never happened 

Chorus 
You are the crow
Me I am the buzzard 
Fly away from me
My brief lover x2
It’s time to let me go
Cause I am the  buzzard 
And you, you are the crow 

V2 
The first night we met the  warning signs were there 
Sharing platter not shared you  got tequilaed and fell of the chair 
I gave you the benefit of  first  date nerves 
I anit saying what happened second date was  absurd 

Chorus 

Lead break 

Outro 
The carrion crow 
who just won’t let go 
As I try and fly 
into the open sky
Your in pursuit 
following my route 
The buzzard and the crow 
Is there something that they know 
That’s me and that is you 
It’s over we’re done we’re  through

Buzzard & The Crow ~ Conscience of Kings

Another song from the archives of the Conscience Of Kings project recorded in June 2023. 
A song that refers to working life before covid and after & now how so many people that work from home and are quite happy never to return to the office again. 
The Towns  & City centres have high rise office blocks that sit empty. Local cafes, sandwich bars miss the business and close along with the pubs, restaurants etc.
The main thing is  face to face and social interaction with other humans falls into even more decline. Your home becomes a  work combined place leaving no escape .
They say it’s better than commuting and now complain if the Boss calls the team in for a face to face meeting. And the reaction is can’t we just do it over zoom to save me travelling. The same journey you did for years and thought nothing of it is now the devil’s journey. 
They say it will have a major effect on generations to come but you say 
Who Are They……

V1
I am not going anywhere, I’m reporting live this room
If you want a face to face then call me up on zoom
Does this feel like a battle or more like a dance 
Whoo was that a low swipe or just a passing glance


Chorus 
Just a memory in a moment 
When I thought I was invincible 
Just a memory in a moment 
And now I’m so cynical
We all face the same way until it takes all day
Just a memory in a moment x2
So They say 


2.15
I’m gonna tap you on the shoulder and tell sit back down 
Try to read the room and for god sake loose that dirty frown 

Extended Chorus 


M/8 
We can all play our own movie we don’t need yours 
Because we know the scores on each and every single door 
So they say ……… 
By the way 
Who are they ……… x4

Who Are They ~Conscience Of Kings

Mike came up with an idea that we should do an acoustic based song.
Concentrating on keeping it sparse and open with a beautiful melody.
The acoustic and vocal melody should carry it through and when I heard his acoustic track I was blown away how gorgeous it sounded.
When you have a great melody to work with, things come easy for writing and vocal melodies. 
I am a bit of a sucker for acoustic based songs because I believe it’s were the basics start. If a song sounds good on an acoustic then it’s a winner.
The song is a reflection on relationships and how  family, friends, work and the rest of the noise outside your door as an effect on our behaviour. It’s leaves you feeling drained at times and you have nothing left to give. You argue about other peoples demands leaving no  time for your own relationship. 
Praying just for a moment of fantastic to enjoy if only brief and waiting to arrive at that place that makes you both happy again. 
I Love the touch of the accordion & strings with Mike stellar harmonies adding the depth. 
I hear so much AI music on Soundcloud these days but real is real and it shows you care to make it real.
I’m sure next year we will collate our top ten and release an album by This Sound Society because it would be rude not to.
Mean while I hope you enjoy this one …..
Are We Nearly There by This Sound Society 
(Fox & Brownie )

V1
Tomorrow’s problem I’m drinking today 
I know you get me in every way 
The mood is lifted the clouds have shifted 
And just for today let it be gifted 
Perfection would be great 
I will settle for fantastic 
They can keep Carriages horses king’s 
And all of those castles 
And yesterday can keep all of our troubles &. hassles 


Chorus 
Are we nearly there yet
Cause this journey far to long 
Are we nearly there yet 
Cause I need somewhere to belong 
Somewhere where I feel strong 
Somewhere where the light shines 
Somewhere where you are mine 
Just Somewhere lost in time 

V2 2.04
A rendezvous with destiny
So why doesn’t it feel so heavenly 
Are we running away 
Our running towards something else today 
Can you feel the shift baby
Cause it’s taking a grip 
You don’t need your eyes 
To see the chemistry 
Someone for someone else 
Someone else for somebody 

Chorus to finish…..,

Are We Nearly There -This Sound Society

Firstly thanks to all involved in the Eclectic Collective a fine bunch of musicians & just mighty good people. 
This track is the second I’ve have done with EC.
This as been evolved from the original acoustic sketch I did and the vocal is the original sketch take.
I really like what the guys have done on every aspect of the song.
Special thanks to Ken (The Twist )from across the pond for driving it along since the summer.
The EC have a real cool vibe going, releasing regularly and constantly working on a whole host of tracks simultaneously. 
The song refers to the current state of the world today and my experiences and observations. 
I like being brave and not precious about the music I create and especially handing it over to other musicians who can make it theirs also.

And questioning myself is it me our are they right
I’m feeling a little angry hope it’s not  out of spite 
Is just a reaction to this uncomfortable  night 

Chorus 
When did the world stop listening 
When did the world stop listening

Everyone’s on journey on a bus to shit creek
With condescending story’s of there  bad & awesome week

I avoid catching that struggle bus 
Don’t wanna be part of my problem and be misunderstood 
What are you looking at is there something you wanna discuss 
I push his   face up the window cause I’ve had enough

When Did The World Stop Listening ! -Eclectic Collective

This year a little more tongue in cheek and a little insight into a real Christmas especially mine.
Why can’t it be like the films and ads is just a chorus lyric but Christmas never is like the films and ads. 
We know how it goes but love it anyway and when it rolls up we are ready to take it on again.
Merry Christmas to  everyone and thank you for the support this year it’s always appreciated.
Conscience Of Kings give you ……

A Blissful Christmas 

Intro 
When I was boy I just wanted to stay at home on Christmas Day
Off we went visiting I just wanted to stay & play 
Action Man , chopper bike, scalelextic , & football kits 
These are the things I loved to bits 
These are the things my Christmas gifts ……..

It all changes when you become the  adult 

V1
I don’t want to be leaving everything till the last minute.com
Or ordering parcels online that get stolen our never ever come
And this year  I wanna just try and get all the basics right 
Instead of fighting with myself untangling the Christmas lights 

Chorus 
I just wanna 
Blissful  Christmas  
Like the Films & the ads 
I just wanna 
Blissful Christmas 
That doesn’t drive  me mad 
I just wanna Blissful Christmas 
Serving the staving dozen
I just wanna a blissful Christmas 
When the Turkey fits the oven 
Blissful Christmas x2


2.47
It would be nice if everyone mucked in with the washing  up 
Not crashed out on the sofa not giving a jingle bells fuck 
It would be nice to get invited to theres on  Boxing Day 
Instead they all pile round again for the start of a brand new  day 


Chorus to finish 

I just wanna 
Blissful  Christmas  
Like the Films & the ads 
I just wanna 
Blissful Christmas 
That doesn’t drive  me mad 
I just wanna Blissful Christmas 
When the dog don’t piss up the tree
I just wanna a blissful Christmas 
When it all anit about me 
Blissful Christmas 
I just wanna blissful Christmas

Blissful Christmas ~ Conscience Of Kings

A song chosen from our latest batch of 5 we have finished this month. A very productive session creating 5 descent songs plus our Christmas track.
A song about being out having a great time then as always it turns sour. The drink kicks in and things get lairy and loud. Here we go again let’s talk about this in the morning when the regret hangs heavy just like the head.

 
Conscience Of Kings gives you ….

Wait Til The Morning 

V1
Take a hot air balloon to your Castles in the clouds 
Pretend the sermon is renewing all your religious vows 
Then in the mean time ring me out like a seaside tea towel 
Shouting your very own sacred obscene naughty naughty vowels 

Chorus 

Wait till the morning
When we wake 
Wait til the morning 
Trust it won’t be to late
Think with a clear head 
Think about what you  said 
The coffee is better than the champagne 
So we can go over it again 
Wait till the morning x4

V2  
When your on the bubbles it follows with spontaneous trouble 
can’t you be a happy drunk instead of playing cruel  kerpluck 
Its like Hugging a cactus my god  I’ve had enough practice 
The birds won’t sing to early your making to much noise honey

Wait til the morning x3
Why can’t you just  wait til morning 
Yeah 

Chorus 

Wait till the morning
When we wake 
Wait til the morning 
Trust it won’t be to late
Think with a clear head 
Think about what you  said 
The coffee is better than the champagne 
So we can go over it again 
Wait till the morning x2

Lead break 

Outro 
Wait til the morning x4
………Wait til we the morning

Wait til the Morning - Conscience Of Kings

I’m dedicating this track to my mate and guitarist of this band Lee Hughes who is currently in hospital waiting on a bypass. So best wishes to a great guitarist & bloke please make a speedy recovery. 
We wrote this song back in 1998 after I was reading an article about Richard Branson’s new record label V2.
The article referred to the fact that V2 had signed 60 bands to the new label. Stereophonics was one of those bands and I have no idea who the other 59 were.
It also referred to the fact it was like catching 60 flies in a jar and seeing which one escaped to make the big time.
Obviously Stereophonics was the fly who escaped. 
It all seemed farcical and ridiculous to me that all them bands signed their lives away only to be dropped so quickly.
This Elegant Chaos was on a small independent label selling 500 albums a month unknown to us. 
The label took the money and we only found out 20 years later how much the label made. We never seen a penny.
I was sent an audit form of sales because the label wanted to use some tracks of their best selling artists for a compilation album to celebrate 30 years. 
To say I was shocked was an understatement! 
This industry is shark infested waters that you rarely miss getting bitten. 
The middle eight refers to this after reading another article by Ian Brown talking about the music industry & the split from The Stone Roses and how we are lambs to the slaughter. 
We used a sample on the track from Bros’s When Will I Be Famous and reversed it right at the beginning & again later un reversed. 
If my memory serves me well we only ever played this live once in Bradford at a gig for a music magazine. I totally lost my way and ending up rolling around on stage to deflect from my vocal performance lol. I’m sure the band & audience thought I had lost the plot and I probably did but Happy days ! 
This Elegant Chaos gives you 

60 Flyzzzzz 

V1
60 Flyzzzzz buzzing in a jar
Can one escape to become a star 
60 Flyzzzzz
Can we make a living for A&R

Bridge 
This is farcical its ridiculous 
That someone like me could be so  fickle less  

Chorus 

Would you sign your life away 
Would you sign on the dotted line today
Would you sign your life away 
For the filthiest richest business On this planet x2

V2
60 Flyzzzzz buzzing in a jar 
One is for chop 
60 Flyzzzzz buzzing in a jar 
The other 58 as flopped 

Bridge 
This is farcical its ridiculous 
That someone like me could be so  fickle less 

Chorus 

Would you sign your life away 
Would you sign on the dotted line today
Would you sign your life away 
For the filthiest richest business On this planet x2


Middle 8 

Mr Brown you were right 
These are shark infested waters 
Mr Brown you were right 
We lambs to the slaughter 
Mr Brown why was it so 
A thorn between your roses 
Mr Brown why was it so 
They can’t see further than their noses than their noses their noses 

Chorus to finish

60 FLYZZZZZ- This Elegant Chaos


This is a song for the dishevelled 
Lovers who are looking for time & space together away from the pressures of life. 
One of my favourite songs from 2025 that I feel went under the radar. 
Mike Fox who wrote the acoustic guitar melody which I thought was beautiful when I heard it has released the full blown version on his soundcloud site.
I asked him to strip it right back unplugged for me to release again in another format.
This song was released a couple of months ago on my site in its full on version. I hope you give it another spin in this style.

Are We Nearly There
By This Sound Society 
(Fox & Brownie )

V1
Tomorrow’s problem I’m drinking today 
I know you get me in every way 
The mood is lifted the clouds have shifted 
And just for today let it be gifted 
Perfection would be great 
I will settle for fantastic 
They can keep Carriages horses king’s 
And all of those castles 
And yesterday can keep all of our troubles &. hassles 


Chorus 
Are we nearly there yet
Cause this journey far to long 
Are we nearly there yet 
Cause I need somewhere to belong 
Somewhere where I feel strong 
Somewhere where the light shines 
Somewhere where you are mine 
Just Somewhere lost in time 

V2 
A rendezvous with destiny
So why doesn’t it feel so heavenly 
Are we running away 
Our running towards something else today 
Can you feel the shift baby
Cause it’s taking a grip 
You don’t need your eyes 
To see the chemistry 
Someone for someone else 
Someone else for somebody 

Chorus to finish…..,
