A song I knocked up years and years ago using Dance Ejay.

Space Surfers -vs- The Androids

Space Surfers -vs- the Androids

This is a song I wrote in the 90s that Boydie kindly offered to record for me. CaliaMoko and jacksimmons also kindly offered to lend their voices to the project and here it is!

Looking For Love

My entry for the www.songwriterforum.co.uk "Wanna Write the Bond Theme?" challenge where we all wrote a theme for the upcoming Bond movie, No Time To Die (challenge started before the actual song came out).

Thanks to Pauly, PaulAds and pompeyjazz for turning my vision into reality, and to Boydie for mixing it. Vocals are my own (eek!).

LYRICS:

Winter rages
Her frozen kisses poison on your lips
The choice you make is
To wage the war or close your eyes, give in
Your destination
The end of everything you’ve ever known
In contemplation:

You make your move and hold your breath
Prepare to dive into the depths

It’s hard to break this vicious circle
You have been here so many times
They try to take you, try to hurt you
But still you stand and face the tide
And this is no time to die

In the shadows
Their eyes see everything you try to hide
Stare at the gallows
A fate that you have dodged time after time
I tried to warn you
You bleed like any other mortal man
And will they mourn you

When everything comes crashing down
And you’re alone on hallowed ground?

It’s hard to break this vicious circle
You have been here so many times
They try to take you, try to hurt you
But still you stand and face the tide
And this is no time to die

When the illusion
Is finally revealed
When all the dust has settled
Whose fate will have been sealed?

You have to play the hand they’ve dealt you
So place your bet and take your aim
It’s all you know, and you were meant to
Defeat the house at its own game

It’s time to break the vicious circle
You have been here too many times
They try to take you, try to hurt you
But still you stand and face the tide

You play for pride!
And this is no time to die
There’s nowhere to hide
So stand and fight!

Cos in the end you know inside
It’s just no time to die

Lots of Time to Die

No Time To Die

Another challenge at the songwriterforum.co.uk forum - this time an instrumental by binladeda which several of us created our own take on it. Thanks to Cowparsleyman for the added guitars and touching my vocals up.


LYRICS:

On the wrong end of tomorrow
I was trapped in yesterday
Couldn't see what was to follow
I was blinded by blind faith

It's not easy to forgive
Even harder to forget
When you try so hard to live
You're just not prepared for it to end

Always looking for the moon to shine
She was blocking out the stars
I was overwhelmed and closed my eyes
Setting pride up for a fall

I walked in on agony
And my world came crashing down
That's the last time my heart ever beat
There's no future for it now

On the wrong end of tomorrow
Where there's nothing left to dream
Something blue was something borrowed
But something new was something bleeds

It's not easy to go on
Fighting for your every breath
When your right has turned to "what went wrong?"
Existence is only a pretence

Always looking for the moon to shine
She was blocking out the stars
I was overwhelmed and closed my eyes
Setting pride up for a fall

I walked in on agony
And my world came crashing down
That's the last time my heart ever beat
There's no future for it now

On the wrong end of tomorrow
Couldn't see what was to follow

I was waiting for the stars to fall
But it's me who fell instead
There is nothing certain after all
And that's too easy to forget

Tomorrow...
…is this goodbye?
