Beautifully Wilson-esq and very fitting. A Wonderful song for a Wonderfully Colourful Man.

Thank you everyone for your kind comments :)

I wish I were a cat on a farm
Coz then I would have lots of things to pounce on
I wish I were a cat on a farm
Coz then I could sleep in the straw

I dream of being a cat on a farm

I’d start a family
Why not?
I’d start the family I haven’t got

I’d teach young junior how to run and how to jump and how to catch a bird
I’d teach him how to understand those silly humans with their silly words

We’d be a family
A loving family
A happy family
A perfect family

I wish I were a cat on a farm so then I could prowl around the ditches
I wish I were a cat on a farm pretending I’m a tiger in the wild 
I dream of being a cat on a farm

I’d take my family out for lunch
We’d hear that little bluebird carcass crunch

I’d teach young junior how to steal and how to eat and how to snoop around
I’d teach him how sneak inside the pantry door without making a sound

We’d be a family of cats living on a farm
Living like the monarchy inside our palace barn
We’d take a holiday in the forest by the hill
Where there’s lots of things to chase and lots of things to kill
And then we’d pack up and say enough’s enough

Come on let’s go home 
Come on let’s go home 
Come on let’s go home

Windows & Doors - You Have Got A Gun Feat. Justin K. Bailey

Hi, John here,

I lost my good friend and collaborator on Windows & Doors this week, Wim Oudijk. I wrote and recorded this song as a way to say goodbye...   







I look out at the sky
From my bedroom window
I am here most of my life
But still it feels so unfamiliar
Coz all that I can see
Are endless possibilities
Goodbye Wim, and thank you for everything

I look out at the sky
From my bedroom window
The wind and the sunlight
Make my forehead tingle
I know I’ll never know 
But it sounds to me like an oboe
Goodbye Wim, and thank you for everything
