Two chords, a simple arrangement and a question: are you happy?

Happy?

A cover of my favourite Psychedelic Furs song.

Alice's House (Psychedelic Furs cover)

Attacks on sovereign nations
Politicians talk about escalation
Platitudes aren’t what I want to hear
Bombs flying, babies dying
On the television spokespeople lying
Dictators spread death, hate and fear

Chorus:
World leaders not leading, 
Innocents lay dying and bleeding
Fools in power, weak at the knees
Sleepwalking into World War Three

Food and oil prices rising
Tell me, are the sanctions biting?
Knock-on effects for you and me
Genocides and countless war crimes
Are we entering the end of times?
But you’re watching reality TV

Chorus

You sit there, eating popcorn
While around you, the world burns
None so blind as those who will not see
Ukraine suffering the Russian beast
Netanyahu’s war in the Middle East
Will we see the end of these atrocities?

World leaders are not leading 
I While innocents still lay dying and bleeding 
Fools in power, weak at the knees
Sleepwalking into World War Three

Eating Popcorn (While the World Burns)

a song for that special someone. We've all met one or two...

Merry Christmas, Jesus loves You.

Beatles-inspired chord sequence and vocal harmonies in a song trashing someone I know very well, back when they weren't as whole a person as they now are. 
All lyrics are written from first-hand experience. The person this is about is now completely clean living and a far better specimen of humanity than he was when this song was originally written, sometime around 1990.

Residual Bullshit

Ever woken up after a night out with gaping holes in your memory? This one's for you.
Heavily influenced by The Clash, Ruts, and Stiff Little Fingers, this is my take on early 1980s-style punk-reggae.

What The Hell Did I Do Last Night?

A thrashy song about hectic sex. Includes the word "throbbing". You have been warned.

Marathon Man

Feel The Fear

Home recorded ditties. Gotta love technology!
