Track 1 of the EP 'Quaint Love'.

Lyrics:

Are you looking for something new?
An escape from reality
Well look no further than here
Your journey’s end; there’s no more fear

You say there’s nothing left to live for where you are

And we welcome everyone, with open arms
So join us now, bring your broken hearts
We welcome everyone with open arms
So join us now, with your broken hearts

Our quaint love for you
It masks the dying truth
Stare towards our screen
Evergreen
“Here, nothing’s quite what it seems”
Take a stroll down to the running stream
See the spinning water gleam
Years gone by, that gleam remained unseen
I hadn’t realised how empty I’d become

You say there’s nothing left to live for where you are

And we welcome everyone, with open arms
So join us now, bring your broken hearts
We welcome everyone with open arms
So join us now, with your broken hearts

And I love you

Track 2 of the EP 'Quaint Love'.

Lyrics:

Golden spilling through my window
The hot rays of the sun
The rich, roast taste
Of black coffee on my tongue
This is what we live for, and this is what we’ve lost

Go out, talk to the new people
Live outside of your dream
You’ll start to look at life
In a way you haven’t seen
This is what we live for, and this is what we’ve lost

Take your trusty afternoon walk
Blow those thick cobwebs away
Make your way beneath the silent trees
Make your jolly way towards the sea
This is what we live for, and this is what we’ve lost

I love you, you love me, we love each other
Love is all around
From cute little villages
To the heart of London Town 
This is what we live for, and this is what we’ve lost

Modern Life

Track 3 of the EP 'Quaint Love'.

Lyrics:

Just place a roof above me, start the rain
Before it’s all gone, before its all gone
Just place a roof above me, start the rain
Before it’s all gone, before its all gone

To think I would kneel down at your feet
Before it’s all gone, before its all gone
I ask myself why I kneel down at your feet
Before it’s all gone, before its all gone

All Gone

Track 4 of the EP 'Quaint Love".

Lyrics:

She feels so lost, she wanders round
Her glowing mind; a burning sign
Abusive man, Her sleeves pulled down
She’s acting fine; passing time

She used to walk through golden sand
Out went the tide, she was alive
She had no idea the world would turn
On its side; she stayed inside

When I feel like I’m in the shade
The break of a wave
I just think of her pain
I just think of her pain

As the grains dissolve she wonders why
She’s out of time, she’ll draw the line
Enjoying life will always be
At the expense of everyone else

She feels she needs something more
Something new, she’ll go to you
She knows all stories have their end
The sea won’t do; some day we’ll lose that view

I saw her make her way
Down that country lane
Up the hill
And out of the shade
And the tide came in
The final display
Then they swept her up
And the sunlight frayed

Grains of Sand

Track 5 of the EP 'Quaint Love'.

Lyrics:

“Ah well, that’s life” you say
Won’t see another day
And as the birds fly away
Across the sea, across the sea
Oh, I wonder what you will be

Looking back at the shaking ground
People jump at the slightest sound
We all live like the rain falls down
Endlessly, Endlessly
Oh I wonder, will we see that world again?

We get so lost, we get so very lost
We are so lost, we are so very lost

2815 AD
Didn’t quite resonate with me
Exhausted trees and the empty wind
Disposably, trapped within
Oh, I wonder where we will be

We get so lost, we get so very lost
We are so lost, we are so very lost

While you all climb your ladders up to heaven
I’ll stay down here and enjoy the view

We Get So Lost

Visiting

A festive Christmas song, written on Christmas Eve and the early hours of Christmas Day 2022.
Lyrics:
Santa can’t get out for Christmas
Shielding is his game
For hes a citizen over seventy
Presents will have to wait
Cause Rudolph, he got tested
And positive was the score
Well you just had to see that red nose
To know he could not have been more infected

He’s infected
No presents this time, no crackers, no wine
This Christmas

Two years on and Rudolph’s back to minus
So the team hit the chimneys
But a “cough, cough!” In the distance
Came from little Sammy D
But Santa still counts as vulnerable
To take the risk would be naive 
And while outside snow fell from the sky,
Sam’s health dropped more like needles from the tree

So he tested
And as it turned out, he was infected
No penny to find, no cards, no mince pies this Christmas 
For Sammy D, and his extended family
This Christmas
He looked so green, the neighbours thought he’d eaten the Christmas tree
But that couldn’t be,
In fact a pine is packed with vitamin C

The Cold Truth

Track 02 of the EP 'The Current Day'.

Lyrics:

I have got everything 
But its not enough  
Lasting fulfilment 
The answers obvious

You're setting the town alight
The children stay up all night
It's proven that you're the man
The future is in your hands
Your setting the town on fire
The tulips stay up all night
I'm thinking that you're the man
The future, its in our hands

I'm blessed with privilege 
But can I keep the faith?
The world is spinning
I can't keep up the pace

You're setting the town alight
The children stay up all night
It's proven that you're the man
The future is in your hands
Your setting the town on fire
The tulips stay up all night
I'm thinking that you're the man
The future, its in our hands

The Blessed Sun

Track 03 of the EP 'The Current Day'

Lyrics:

Wind me up and let me go
Just guide us into the wind and the snow
You can take what you think is yours
Don't leave us stranded in the cold

You're a wave, could you carry me home?
It's pretty bleak when you live on your own
Greater effort leads to greater reward
On my mind since I left the shore

Dread to think what the future holds
The numbers dancing in tartan clothes
Once you're up you can't get down
That feeling; peering at the ground

You're a wave, could you carry me home?
It's pretty bleak when you live on your own
Greater effort leads to greater reward
On my mind since I left the shore

Keep me out of time with people

Four Funerals and a Wedding

Track 04 of the EP 'The Current Day'

Lyrics:

The light arrives
The birds sing as they take to the sky
It's a new day
And I feel like I'm falling behind

The engines flair
Smoke rises through the air
You think to yourself
When no one else is there

I'm still sitting in yesterday

I think of you
The things I had to put you through
The pale blue light
The numbers twitching in your eyes

The peace is with me
The life is with you now
The waves have died down
The fire has left the town

I'm still sitting in yesterday
