If at a want for lyrics, why not start reading the labels of the objects around you... Thanks to Mike Brown for providing the slide parts.
Meet my old time friend
He is the seventh branded man
Jack x2
And back in Tennessee
He was the…
Second of two songs on the album about trying to be a better person. The first was about people not trying, this is about struggling (and kinda failing) to be a better person than you have been. Slide parts courtesy of Gary...
Don't think for…
This one is about how falling in love kind of involves giving up any say in whether or not your heart gets trampled. It's about that fear. Gary doing a sterling job as usual on lead guitar..
She's amazing
Beauty holds no bounds
and her voice…
Have no idea where this one came from. I was strumming away and the words just came out. Seems to be about some kind of wrongdoing in the past. May have been possessed. Thanks again to Gary for helping out on lead..
In sleepy towns through…
A folksy number inspired by the stories my nan told me many moons ago about her uncle Herbie..
Herein lies the story, of a man named Herbie Jones.
Not a million miles away from a man you might have known.
A miner in the twenties, blue scars…

Thanks to Mike Brown for lending a hand with the lead parts.. despite trying his damnedest not to! Also thanks for MMI for the advice which in part at least, I took!
I'm gonna call you dirty from now on in x2
I'm gonna call you dirty from…
Just a fragment.. but thought it was worth including..
If I were to lose you now
I don't know that I could cope
Please don't leave me now, don't go
You're my only hope.
Hey I like your album cover. The sticker design on the bottom right has a nice edgy design feel to it. It just pops. Nice work on the artwork and the music, well the music of course!
This provides a theory which ties together two of my key traits a) always tired b) terminally disappointed by peoples lack of courtesy - there's a link people!
Did you ever feel so down
That you didnt know up
Didnt recognise highs
And smiles…

When I sent this song off to Jim, he sent back tracks for a second rhythm guitar, lead guitar, and drums. Bass soon followed, and Kavin's slide dropped in nicely. Just thought I'd let y'all have a listen to what came back to me…
More bad news on the TV delivered by the beautiful news reader to soften the blow.......its all too much....a double dip recession ......a government filled with corruption a sunday paper filled with the Rich.............
Recession
Blank mind…
Jip and JB in the Jipster studio, sitting down with guitars and a few beers, and many laughs. It was almost abandoned at one point, but we pressed on. Here's the result. I don't think the mouse has a name.
What if Sleeping Beauty was visited by a couple of fortune hunters? And what if those fortune hunters got into an argument? Colin Garvey did a super job with this song, and I raise a glass to him. Many thanks to you, my friend.

Reach Out
Try and touch the things that fear you most
See how they can disappear as ghosts
Watch them fade away as you draw near,
Its coming clear
The pain behind the fear – is gone
Its time for you to start now feeling right
To feel you body…
thanks for taking the time to go through the tracks by the way.. is really appreciated. I love this one, and will be returning to your RPM album et al soon!

I think this was the first Blues I wrote, about 5 years ago.Changed the tempo & got my mate Dave to play harmonica on it. Thanks Dave.Listening to the old version, couldn't remember what I played so had to revamp it, old age!!! DOH !!!!!

K.G. made gold with this one. words are oh so good. J.H. broke away from his bass and added a very nice banjo part. i did a little clapton bending . i think this is a magical moment for our band. we all came together at the end and did it! i hope…
A song to get up and dance to, much like you get and dance when someone whose loudly voiced opinions you don't share is sent packing. Narcissism and hero worship have no place in a civilized world. ;)
