Sometimes you’ve got to stop, look and listen
Before you cross the road 
If you don’t listen
You could be stiff and cold
It takes some grace, love and laughter
Before you cross the road
We’re behind you as you take your place

You need a monkey, a badger, a squirrel 
Before you cross the road
If you don’t bring them
Remember the toad!
It takes some whisky, some vodka and brandy 
Before you cross the road.
And ask your buddies if you’re scared and cold

Stop, Look and Listen!

Dog Like Sparky

A setting of lines from Psalm 42. 

As the deer longs for streams of water
So my soul longs for you
My soul thirsts for you, the living God
When can I meet with You?

My tears are food day and night
While people say ‘where is your God?’
Memories as I pour out my soul
Among the festive throng

Why are you downcast oh my soul?
So disturbed within me.
Put your Hope in God for I will praise him
My saviour and my God

I will remember you
From Jordan to Mount Mizar
Deep calls to deep roaring waterfalls
Waves sweep over me 

Put your Hope in God, put your hope in God
For I will praise 
My saviour and my God

As The Deer...

Across the sulphur light

Swirling the silence amplified
Falling so crystalline
Whirring a distant hum that slides
Seizing unyielding time

Swathes of yellow fading
Fleeting moments swaying
Fragments breaking through
Moments we once knew

Veils of drab hollow magnified
Falling so crystalline
Whirring of dances reeling by
seizing unyielding time

Stasis of Reeling Dances

A song I wrote for my daughter Clara, when she was a baby.


All the thru the night
She calls out to me
Don’t be scared of the night
When you’re struggling to sleep
My child

When life gets too tough and you’ve had enough
And worries blind your way
Just remember this trick, it’ll come to you quick
Night dims before day

All thru the day
She calls out to me
Cherish each day
That’s what she says to me
My child

When the dark clouds draw in and your hope appears thin
And your heart crashes down
Remember my love that lightness above
The sun blazes forth again

Bad Hair Life

Mrs Mounter

This song is supposed to reflect the tube station through the following:
1. This station is near the River Lea. The lyrics at the beginning are folk-ditty like; something a boater in years gone by might sing.
2. I used to get off here to get the train home after work. Often, particularly if I had a few drinks, I would visit the fast food eateries in the vicinity and regret it afterwards...

Lyrics:

Down by the lock-side,
Silent as a dove.
Down by the lock-side,
There I found my love.

Stumbling up the stairs looking for somethings to eat,
A drunken whirl... can't find my feet.
Relieved to miss the train to Ponders End,
Kebab, fried chicken - Godsend.

(They always give me an extra wing at KCF because i'm polite. I guess that's unusual this time of night.)

Where to go, 
Take things too far.
Can't say no,
'No wonder you're the size you are'

'What drink d'you want to have that with boss?'
Pepsi Max 'cause I like the taste 'cause.
Hide 'round the corner and stuff my face -
Gotta protect the shame-face.

(Everyday's like new years day around here... but unfortunately, by the evening I seem to forget everything.)

Where to go, 
Take things too far.
Can't say no
'No wonder you're the size you are'

'Step closer, step closer - £3.95'
Everybody knows you're throwing your life away.
'Hey stupid, hey stupid - £3.95'
Everybody knows, you're making the same mistake twice.

I am a solo artist who likes writing melodic and unusual songs. I am currently in the middle of recording my second album.
Victoria, my first album is my musical love letter to London. It is an album based on the London Underground - each song being inspired by each station on the Victoria Line.
