This time paying homage to grandpa. Did I miss any dead folks out this album?
I often stop and think of William
Up on Skinners Ridge
He passed me on his way back down
As I passed from being a kid
A shame you’d say
But aint that the way
Things…
A dramatisation of events from school.. hope 'Shaun' never hears this, and if he does, that he likes it in someway, and that things turned out alright in the end..
It was always rainin.
It filled him up
It summed it up
So perfectly
How nothing…

Jekyll and Hyde
are both well and alive
and they're living inside of home
Jekyll is kind to me
Smiles all the time to me
Hyde is a wild arrow from a bow
As much as Jekyll makes you smile
If she drinks herself some wine
You'll be the one that…

This song is sort of about making a clean break, killing off the lead character in your story and burying him along with all his sins before the inevitable happens, and the bad guy gets his. Initially came from a jam with my mate Ben Price who…

You do have a lot of ideas with Mr soul, bring him with you in June, there is plenty of room in the cellar............ like the marriage between the guitars on the solo and the tinkle on the keys....yes....yes indeed

One of two pretty little interludes for the album, both of which are based around a guitar part Gary did for me. I've put different synth chords behind each of them to cover the two sides of the lady that inspired the full song, Jekyll & Hyde…
This is about my Nan who in some ways was more like a second mum...
You wont be gone when you leave me,
You wont be gone x 2
Cos while I'm alive til the day I die
You'll linger on when you leave me
You'll linger on
I remember how your…
Such a pretty song Alex. Good vocal too. I could say something in answer to your comment to me the other day but I will ignore that and just say great stuff by Gary.

Thank you for being you
No one else would do
Thank you for being you
You're all I ask for
Too many nights alone
tonight I'm coming home
open up the wine cos I'm
gonna be with the one who's shown
Me the ways of old
Women into wives…

Lyric -
So Jennifer sits…
En Francais.
English lyric:
I don't know why there is not another girl for me here
Or near here,
But over there are plenty of girls for him
What a shame - what a shame
Every day I watch the men and boys with girls on the beach…
A song for/about Charles Manson.
If you think you've found an answer
Inside a 45
You need another needle and indeed you needed Beatles to realise
Speaking on the record
Backwards just to you
First the curses then perverted verses…
A song about the five stages of grieving, as devised by the (late) Elizabeth Kubler-Ross. Unfortunately knowing these stages does not help you get over them.
You've been managing expectations
Consultations end in tears
Even if you're optimistic…
My opus. By far the longest song I've ever recorded. I tried to make it shorter, but it just didn't work. Sorry. :)
"The Water-Carver" uses a sample from Stereolab's "Changer." (Gane/Sadier)
I guess I knew this would happen. Talk about creating one's own reality Sheeeeesh. End of the month and my pen has been re-fueled and I added some vox to this one, plus some lead guitar, and a bit of synth strings. I also took a shot at some…
