We all got them, some just can’t be seen……………cheers for having a listen


A constant reminder
A memory from afar
Now etched in time
My permanent scars

There’s another side to me
That you don’t really know
But if you look real hard
There’s a story to be told

And if it’s not what you wanna see
You can look away
They’re always gonna be there
My scars are here to stay

They been years in the making
Star of their own show
I can’t ask them to leave
Like me they got nowhere to go

A constant reminder
A memory from afar
Now etched in time
My permanent scars

Blue September

There are many versions and different traditions of the story of the Magi and about their journey. And about their origin. Pictured on the cover is a drawing found in the 'Catalan Atlas,' a map of the world dated to the late 14th century. Pictured here are the three kings. The caption reads: “This province is called Tarshish, from which came the Three Wise Kings, and they came to Bethlehem in Judaea with their gifts and worshipped Jesus Christ, and they are entombed in the city of Cologne two days journey from Bruges.”
But where was the city (or the country) called Tarshish (Tarsis, Tharsis), whose king was already mentioned in Psalm 72?
No one, exactly, knows.

I recorded the guitar part in 2018, when bought a Guild (my Washburn had become mute ...), so the track has a lot of noise and imperfections. Then there were several attempts to organize the piece and arrange it. This could be the last one. It came rather long and slow. But long and slow was also that improbable (and hardly true) journey - perhaps one could imagine it by closing the eyes and listening to the music.

Classic rock track with hooks galore.  Handclaps, cheesy keys, singalong choruses!  What's not to like?  Inspired by one of my favourite Australian bands 'You Am I' touring now performing Hi Fi Way and Hourly Daily back to back!!

Off the cuff
Life’s was so tough
Everyone told me I would never amount to nothing

All this time
My biggest crime
Was never noticing the look in your eyes

Indiscreet
But I was feeling obsolete
Acted like a fool coz I never saw a chance

A grown up child
Damn hog-wild
Throwing every caution to the wind

Always neck deep
The darkest of the sheep
I’m the guy whose Comfortable sitting in the cheap seats

All this time
Never heard the bells chime
Over all the noise coming from my mouth

Quick to tell a joke
Every word a masterstroke
Flashy cars and tabs at bars  but I was flat ass broke

Wasting life
On the edge of a knifep
You took my breath away when you said

I came so close
Almost pipped at the post
I’d still be here drinking with dust in my pockets

All this time 
No reason or rhyme
I couldn’t see what was right in front of me

Now I’m looking back
I was such a sad sack
How did you ever manage to see through it all

To you I owe
The whole damn show
Coz you had the heart to speak the truth

Be Strong

Violence Is Violence

lyrics:
Acid vision
Missing notion
Hellish motivation
Blood boils from passion
Shattered from my action
Lysergic flesh as contemplation
We should torment our nation
Blades raining over the brain
Covering the globe my blood stain
Damaged attitude, we inflict pain
We smash it harder on disdain
'Cus hell's closer than heaven
Distorting realities, I'm insane
Havoc never ceases, this is my thing

Lyrics:
Steady your hand, hold it out in front of you
Palm down, open wide, keep it still
Steady, steady like a rock

Fill the lungs, hold it in, don’t let it out
Oxygen is life, oxygen is life
Without it slip away

Steady like a rock, no such thing as trying
Set in my way, set in stone
Let me know if you see me waiver
Know when I hit the floor

Steady like a rock, no such thing as trying
Set in my way, set in stone
Let me know if you see me waiver
Know when I hit the floor

Getting reps in, keep a mental count, the turns
Generally speaking, random mark
Pump it out, turning over rocks

Over under, beat the odds on favorite
Carrying the bag, subjective satisfaction
I feel satisfied

In the presence of certain company
Discretion opposite honesty
Find the right moment and then lay it out
Save the hurtfulness for next time

In the presence of certain company
Save the hurtfulness for next time

Discretion Opposite Honesty
