This is a song about losing someone very close to you having learnt they only has a finite time left and you help and support them on their journey to the end. A true story.

Snowgoose [EP Single]

Snowgoose

Snowgoose (feat. Gary & Kira Contant) [Piano Version]

A song about how the life of normal people can be turned upside down by certain events leaving them to slip between the cracks of society and into another world of alcohol and drug dependency of other acts to help support themselves.  An acoustic guitar based folk song with additional strings and slide guitar and a tinkling of a few cymbals to add to the mix. Title track from the new album of the same name.

Slipping Between The Cracks LYRICS
Gasoline Alley, dressed in petrol blue
Skipsy's head-butting pavements, he's got nothing else to do
The Jacks got a tattoo of a burning Joan of Arc
A nightingale is crying in the dark
The busker's called a concert singing soft and slow
The breathing's hanging heavy in Halfway to Nowhere Road

The wizened hand of the gypsy queen is thumbing through a magazine
Depicting 30's bathing belles whilst fashioning a doll with broken shells
And somewhere is a hanging smell of having nowhere else to go
Than the same familiar dust-bowl tracks 
As they slip between the cracks

Johnnie Jackdaw's in the penny arcade chewing on a piece of fat
He's got black cat bones and a feather in the ribbon of his trilby hat
Between being out in front and hiding in the back he hears another soul
Slipping between the cracks

There's a lie that's curling from a junkies busted lip
And Anorexic Annie's held together with paper-clips
The givers selling promises but he'll just give you the slip
And Freddie Fingers is formulating another stinking business trip
A sweet-smelling destination is all that Freddie lacks
They hold each other's hands as they're slipping between the cracks
