That'll be my take on everything I've heard and all that's gone before...t'ain't reinventing the round thang.

Perhaps this song is encouragement to all the folk who feel dispirited by those who listen,then dismiss it as 'heard it all before'. Well,at least they 'listened!

Play what's inya folks,it's all good and no one does music like you do,so be the best YOU there is and for those expecting you to be what you are not,just tell them.. I'm not the man/woman for you. :)

I'm not the man for you
I like the old,tried ,tested and true

I'm not out to bring anything new
I play just what I feel
What I've heard is what I do
I won't reinvent the wheel

I'm not the man for you
I like the old,tried ,tested and true

I'll never be mister innovation
You won't be amazed at my skill
I'm not into social agitation
Three chords are my biggest thrill

I'm not the man for you
I like the old,tried ,tested and true

I don't feel the need to push the limits
I couldn't,if I tried
I don't write songs to please the critics
I don't need to be ratified

One ring to rule them all,precious....

Nobody knows the way home
Nobody knows the way to go home
Everyone lives on their phone
But everyone still feels alone

Everybody's lost,nobody's found
We all end up in the ground
Gotta find some way to vent my rage

Who are you calling
Is there anyone there
Or is it all in your head

Driven by relentless vision
Fuelled by spade and knife
Beating down man's old enemy
Creating new life

I shook off the trailing weeds of my horror
Realisation dawned
I looked,in fear for my own sanity
At what I had spawned

No matter what we think we know
There are places we shouldn't go
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing
And we reap what we sow

When lightening struck and the creature lived
I imagined I had won
But only just a short time later
All had come undone

Covered by Davy Vance,just because it's a fine song.

She came out of the mist and the snow was falling down
Walking 'long the rails on the west side of town
A scarf around her shoulders and ice upon her shawl
It was ten degrees colder than I ever could recall

She came into the tavern and shook the snow from her shoes
Stood by the fire and asked if we had heard the news
There were soldiers from afar marching forth to war
It was ten degrees colder than I ever could recall

I rushed into the street but the sound of marching men
And the blizzard and the ice drove me back inside again
Old Joe behind the bar was loading his cap and ball
It was ten degrees colder than I ever could recall

Billy had a shotgun, Little Jimmy had a knife
The girl from the west had been somebody's wife
We were widows and orphans and old men one and all
It was ten degrees colder than I ever could recall

They didn't speak our language they used lead and fire instead
When the tavern was ablaze into the winter we fled
I helped those I could but I saw some good men fall
It was ten degrees colder than I ever could recall

We came out of the mist and the snow was falling down
Walking 'long the rails on the west side of town
Me and a girl with ice upon her shawl

Both my sister Yvonne and myself have carried the hurt and seeming injustice of a mother's absence at all times,but especially the usual key family moments in life,she'd have been an epic grandmother and I may have been a better person.

The 1960s were a great time for music,with some enduring classics from 1967 in particular. It was an exciting and new era. I have attempted to infuse a little of the sound of the 60s,with the use of a 12 string electric (The Byrds) to finally give vent to the feelings of a 12 year old boy,mixed with the 62 year old,as I am now.

Lyrically,it was hard going and I don't mind admitting the vocals took more than one attempt due to losing sight of the page! I'm glad I did it and I'm glad it's done.

For Yvonne and myself and for those robbed of ever knowing a special lady.

I always thought they'd fix you
Smart people find a cure
I knew you would never leave
I was completely sure

Bad things don't happen children
Folk reap what they sow
Welcome to the real world
So little did I know

I miss your laugh and presence
The calming of my fears
I've missed you every single day
Of the last fifty years

The fairytale ended
Dreams,they turned to dust
I closed down my affections
The betrayal took my trust

I miss your laugh and presence
The calming of my fears
I've missed you every single day
Of the last fifty years

I placed my faith in anger
Placed my back against the wall
I built sure,strong defences
I built them wide and tall

I always think,if I get close
To anyone at all
They'll be taken from me
Best not to get involved

I miss your laugh and presence
The calming of my fears
I've missed you every single day
Of the last fifty years

I miss your laugh and presence
The calming of my fears
I've missed you every single day
Of the last fifty years

Special big thanks to Paul Boyd for the final mastering.]]>

I have attempted to infuse a little of the sound of the 60s,with the use of a 12 string electric (The Byrds) to finally give vent to the feelings of a 12 year old boy,mixed with the 62 year old,as I am now.

Lyrically,it was hard going and I don't mind admitting the vocals took more than one attempt due to losing sight of the page! I'm glad I did it and I'm glad it's done.

For Yvonne and myself and for those robbed of ever knowing a special lady.

I always thought they'd fix you
Smart people find a cure
I knew you would never leave
I was completely sure

Bad things don't happen children
Folk reap what they sow
Welcome to the real world
So little did I know

I miss your laugh and presence
The calming of my fears
I've missed you every single day
Of the last fifty years

The fairytale ended
Dreams,they turned to dust
I closed down my affections
The betrayal took my trust

I miss your laugh and presence
The calming of my fears
I've missed you every single day
Of the last fifty years

I placed my faith in anger
Placed my back against the wall
I built sure,strong defences
I built them wide and tall

I always think,if I get close
To anyone at all
They'll be taken from me
Best not to get involved

I miss your laugh and presence
The calming of my fears
I've missed you every single day
Of the last fifty years

I miss your laugh and presence
The calming of my fears
I've missed you every single day
Of the last fifty years

Through the spiderweb of wrinkles
To the wispy white hair
My watering eye
Sees the man you once were

Haunted by ghosts
Of a future yet to come
You saw it in the shadow
Of things they've done

You mourn for the children
That you never knew
Time rang out the changes
Took them away from you

When it all was over
Those days left behind
An eye for an eye
Left everyone blind

What are you gonna learn now for tomorrow]]>

Expecting sunshine is a reach
just wear your coat and hat

Oh,oh,here comes summer
Sunshine again?
Oh,oh,there goes summer
Three months of rain

Feel that air of desperation
It's a sunny day
White skins are burning red
On a summer holiday


Oh,oh,here comes summer
Sunshine again?
Oh,oh,there goes summer
Three months of rain

July and August,they made me shiver
Like May and June
Summer often fails to deliver
Winter's coming soon

Losing life a little at a time
Disappearing piece by piece
Vibrant colours fade to grey
A restless mind that gives no peace

Memories are all we have
Defining just what we are
The pain of not quite remembering
Out of grasp,near yet far

The eyes that once shone with life
Gaze with confusion and hurt
People talk in riddles the mind cannot grasp
Always on the outside of the curve

Not in on the joke,but laugh along
It's the one thing you still can do
It's the colour of life,the need to belong
Something to carry you through

Memories are all we have
Defining just what we are
The pain of not quite remembering
Out of grasp,near yet far

The wind blows,the doors close
Barred from the life within
Exclusion bites hard as the cold
Poor choice and no voice
The pills dull the hopelessness
Yet I know I'm losing my hold

Honours and flowers
Soft toys and tributes
You love me more now
Now that I'm gone
A shrine to the fallen
A moment of sadness
Before the world moves along

Shivering,invisible
A shadow in the dark
Only seen when I'm in the way
Think of me when passing by
Love the unlovable
Society's wounded and strays

Honours and flowers
Soft toys and tributes
You love me more now
Now that I'm gone
A shrine to the fallen
A moment of sadness
