My old mac  dieth a death so here's a bit of a kitchen table bash around .   My fingers are not what they were so i play what i can find.  someday I'll probably wind up bashing out a beat with my head on the refrigerator and singing along. I hope you are all well. If you're dead you'll obviously know it's nothing to worry about...                                I woke up this morning or at least I think that I did...I found my medication and I wrestled with the lid....my bathroom mirror is telling me that I'm not half the man I used to be.....

. I've got a hole in my gut I'm really feeling my age, I'm paying the price for my wicked little ways, I was out last night with a woman from the moon, she says that better days are coming and they're coming soon but I ain't half the man I used to be.

Half the Man. ( Stevek )

Rummaging through the archives, looking for a specific track - couldn't find it yet - I know I have it. But I came across this ditty and decided to do some mixing work on it.

It's from 1997 I think, original 4 track recording, I was having a blast playing the slide guitar and just felt this vibe coming, decided to record it.

I do not regret it for one bit :)

This is the story of an elderly gentleman who succumbed to the charms of a beautiful young woman and was only used by her for her own ends.

S U G A R   D A D D Y

Such a big disappointment
I feel like I´m being used
as I´m sitting here in silence
just hurt and so confused

I wasn´t     much more than     your stepping stone
a stupid     sugar daddy     who paid it all alone

you made me     think we were     more than just friends
you took all     that I had     every song, every cent

INTRO

Such a great enchantment
your voice can make tough men cry
once you get the attention
your beauty blinds the guys

BRIDGE    ohohoho

CHORUS

INTRO

Such a huge illusion
all the promises you broke
among all guys you´ve been foolin'
I was just another bloke

BRIDGE   ohoho

Everything Must Go

Sugar Daddy  (Bye-Bye Paris Girl)

A song for all us creative people and yes you know who you are. 
For all those times when you gave your everything and it nearly happened but not quite. It doesn’t stop you wanting to carry on with your thoughts and ideas to expand your mind. 
Your none creative friends barely ask how your creative interests are blossoming and they are oblivious to the only thing that keeps you motivated.
You have to listen in full detail about there average lives and how wonderful it is. Really!
You listen and interact and find your mind drifting to things like what shall I have for my tea later! or thinking…….put a sock in it . 
It’s makes you feel you are on another planet so just head off to the Star Wars Bar to feel normal! and interact with the rest of us freaks. 


V1
Always the bridesmaid never the bride 
That’s how it makes you feel wether your a girl or a guy
Striving to leave a bigger than average mark 
Doing something big that sets you apart 
Ive dreamed of being able to fly 
Leaving the Settee and heading for the sky 
Only the creative and ambitious understand 
This isn’t something that is totally unplanned 

Chorus 
Nearly anit quite good enough 
And almost is never there 
So if your feeling a little different 
Please pull up a chair 
Don’t be alarmed and don’t you be scarred 
Leave your baggage at the door there is nothing to declare
Welcome x4
To the Star Wars bar
Welcome x4 
Have you traveled far 




V2
A striving for perfection that will never ever come
Our maybe some kind of gratitude
That’s why we  beat the drum 
You we’re different from the run of the mill 
So let’s leave Hawkins and keep
running up that hill 

M/8
What’s the definition of creativity
To generate and recognise possibilities
Solving problems and communicating 
Entertaining ourselves and others 
Come on sisters 
Come on brothers

Star Wars Bar  -  Conscience of Kings  -  radio edit

After a trip through the Mediterranean with the paramour of my life years ago... these lyrics emerged as an expression of gratitude and love. Yesterday those lyrics found home in this new original composition.

Forever thinking about you and the family we've made baby.

Thinkin' About You [Instrumental]

Is This Who I Think It Is 

Another tumble ‘cross the dance floor
A tender hold onto someone I call my own 
A look into her eyes that lingers
Another drink that goes from loving hand to hand

Is this who I think it is
A touch and a blown kiss
I look at her
I look at him
Is this who I think it is

A frozen minute in a lifetime
I lurch and stumble to the dancers of the night 
As I push myself between them 
My life with her is playing out in black and white

I wonder at the blind man
Who was missing all the clues
Once a happy go lucky guy
Now with leaden shoes

I am dancing in a wasteland
She is speaking but I cannot hear a sound
Her face resigned to do to her duty
I can see him and his eyes are shifting round

Is This Who I Think It Is

Hey, glad you dropped by. The New Year is upon us. I wish you a happy year ahead. Yet wishes are as fickle as hopes and dreams, which often conjure up nothing more than a brief feel good moment. I hear people nearby celebrating, as if nothing is wrong in their world, while others are fighting for their very lives, at war, or surviving as best they can in extreme and difficult situations. Those disparities has always haunted me… All I need to do is reflect back to see my own trajectory, much like a shooting star burning through the night sky. So what will the new year bring? This will be my 67th new year, so as you might have guessed, I am somewhat jaded when it comes to the anticipation of living in a better world. What I do have is this simple notion that all of us are moving through time together. In a very real sense, we are time travelers. And yet as time leaps forward, say in a hundred years from now, nearly everyone alive in this moment will have ended their journey, save for a few centenarians. Those tough souls will linger on. Don’t get me wrong, I love my life for what it is, but also realize the its fragility. Maybe these maudlin thoughts have influenced this first song of the new year, maybe not. This song is a loosely woven lyrical tapestry of traveling, living in the moment, having a home, lost love, and stargazing. These days, I am not much of a traveler, as far as geography goes. I haven’t been out of the county here for quite some time. Some find that shocking. Others find it sad. I find it to be wonderfully grounding. There are places I’d like to go, but I find I can be wowed by the world right here in the now. In a sense, my daydreams of traveling contain a timeless place. Yet, places do change over time. I did not grow up in this place, and have struggled to make it my home. When I do venture out, I often find the last leg of the journey back home to be the most difficult. It is as if the journey to one place ends, and another journey back begins, even though in essence, it is the same journey. And no matter where I go, I always look up at the stars. They remind me of the places I have been, and the people I have known. Some have left an indelible mark on me. I sometimes want to travel back to see them, but then realize the improbabilities of doing so. Like places, those circumstances have changed. It is then, I take a deep breath, or sometimes sigh, and head back inside my home. Mark

To My Children

Travel the world

I have to raise my head 
to meet your gaze
to tell you how much i'm proud
my child, my hope 

Seeing you is a feast
That s worth all the billions
the treasures of the earth
so, stay with me tonight 

I will tell you 
some fables and tales 
the most beautiful stories
at thousand miles around 

and i'll take you 
to travel the world 
without even moving 
just in few seconds 
if you stay with me tonight 

Time has betrayed me 
i measure how much i'm late
have i been a good father ? 
Well it's never too late 

doubts and regrets 
i have my cupboards full 
but you know how much i love you 
so, stay with me tonight 

And i will find 
your eraser and pencils 
at the bottom of a drawer 
your airplane models 

and i will take out 
 your songs notebooks 
your violin and my guitar 
and we'll sing them along
if you stay with me tonight 

and i'll take you 
to travel the world 
without even moving 
just in few seconds 
if you stay with me tonight

Le Tour Du Monde (translated lyrics)

The ancient metropolis of Istanbul probably derives its name from the Greek 'Stin Polis' ('in the city')(according to Sean Lusk's excellent book 'The Second Sight of Zachary Cloudesly)having previously been Constantinople the capital of the Byzantine Empire.
This incredible city spans the continents of Europe and Asia and reflects aspects of both in its culture and people. 
(Photo taken from a trip on The Bosphorus...the waterway dividing the city's continents.)

Istanbul

After 10 songs of jazzy singer songwriter it's time for a change. But not much! As science based as we are there's still that feeling of karma or whatever. So - better do some good!

Better do some Good.      

Hey I don’t mind complicity in drinking all that wine
It’s good to get the wheels up, but just from time to time
But dwelling on this comfort food is brewing up a blood red sky 
You lapsing into navel gaze is goading kharma’s battle cry 

Better do some good oh darlin’ 
Make a start tonight
You never know who’s out there watching
Know your wrong from right
Do  do do do do do do do

It’s no good you walking round as tho it’s you who’s missing out
With lips so taught and victim eyes 
You’re looking like a sour kraut
You’re always going to lose the war living in this ugly mess 
If Gods don’t see u clean the floor 
The frontline beckons to the West

It’s a round and a round you’re swirling down
Consumed and jealous
You’re wanting needing ‘n nursing greed
In a sump of trench warfare
Aaah ooooh 
Nothing but the best 
Everyone at your behest 
Better do some good tonight 
Better do some good tonight

BETTER DO SOME GOOD
