When You Least Expect It
And you're out to dry
And its all too hectic
Thats when it comes x 2
And it feels electric
And you feel alive
Cos when you least expect…
Thanks for the encouraging words, Alex! There are plenty of options out there for making 8-bit sound; the one I used is a free application called FamiTracker, from famitracker.shoodot.net. More popular is the cartridge LSDJ for the original Gameboy, but that costs money and I love my freeware! Excepting the one copy of Fell Plot I sent to RPM, I don't have any of my music in print so I can't really make any trades, but I'll stick around and listen to some of your songs. :)
Let me introduce to you
Every woman child and man
The place I did my growing up
Raised by grandma's hand
I think you'll find
That folks are kind
They're sure to ask you in
Enter the warmth
Close the door
And my story will begin…
Well I been playing the blues for so long
Kinda feel like playing jazz x 2
I dig the random instrumentation.
Play this in eight over three and a half
I been playing the blues for so long, make me feel like tryna rap x 2
I think I'll call…

I heard a story about you
I didnt want it to be true
But it felt like it might
You, well it was all about you
and how the things that you do
Seem strangely undone
And life doesnt help out the weak
A lifetime tends to bring you some…

It aint like no ones done this before
But how can you tire of beautiful chords
In the fifties
In Tenessee
Where my love
was born
Two young men upped and
crossed the yard
both cold cos it was rainin hard.
One of them turned said…

Features Gary Essex on slide guitar and is but an instrumental of the full song that is Blues Blues - please check it out and love it as though it were your own...
Please note that this particular version is dedicated to the wonderfully talented…

done back in april and originally intended to become a jemima's kite song but we got sidetracked so for now it stays a solo venture. my inner puppy needs to let it be aired.
Take my hand
And count to ten
And count to ten
Then let go…
i'd love to do stuff like this. feel like its a tad beyond me. But may give it a go in due course soon anyway. to hell with it! Very pretty. and captures a sort of clumsy/foolhardiness n all.
Reg was out tonight on the dance floor doing his thing and saw this beautiful women doing her thing......well if that doesn't make a song what does?
YOU GOT SOMETHING I NEED (Lyrics)
Baby you got something about you
You got something special…
no guilt clean slate no guilt
clean slate no guilt clean slate
raw deal dealt by me today
goin to church it will be okay
say a prayer in a quiet voice
drink some coffee and rejoice clean slate
no guilt clean slate no guilt
clean slate…
this is my absolute favourite song at the moment. commercialy released or otherwise. Currently following the wife round the house singing it at her. She likes it too. But would rather choose when she does and doesn't hear it. Tough I say.. I need to practice as I want to do it some kind of justice when I get round to covering it.:) She says its got an American Records era Johnny Cashness to it. I tend to agree. Just plain shit-hot (british for outstanding)

A righteous slab of blues, if ever I heard one! 8-D
Excellent!!
I think this is my fave from your album. But then I'm a sucker for a good blues tune.
Stunning! The time of song I would been happy if it carried on for 10 minutes or so.
Hey well done on completing the rpm challenge! Love the sound of this, fantastic track.
