Folky instrumental for RPM :)

Instrumental intro to 2010's RPM offering..

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…

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…

Based around a fragment I came up with around 10 years ago in University believe it or not, while I was learning to play guitar. As you can see, I was homesick. :) Thanks so much to Gary for adding a bit of spice with the bass, lead guitar and…

STILL can't work out how I could have developed this. Really struggled with it, so it shall remain a fragment.. In a dark secluded room That's where I hide my thoughts of you And underneath some old gardening shears I hide my tears in a…

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.

Another instrumental intended for Bethan..

Funny little instrumental thing inspired in part at least by accidental meat on meat. :)

Little instrumental bluesy number at request of Tess and Bethan... later the backdrop to comedy/blushes

I found this while doing some clearing out. Its the only demo me and a friend Ben Price recorded when we were briefly looking to form a band in about 2005/2006. Listening back to it, strained vocals aside I kinda liked it so thought I should give…

[Thanks to Helen and Colin for coming to my aid with the warblings! :) ] 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…

You never let me smile You never let me out of sight You never let me live You never learned you had to give I'm taking it away x 2

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…

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…

Can i get a little whisky in this water said John The day the world stopped being fair I didnt know what to say so I said yeah. I poured a double whisky and I placed it in his hand And said friend, only true friends understand He said friend…

I was a babe You was a man and i was a child. Oh and the pain You was a man and I was a child. You shifted the blame Onto the child I never forgave And if you were here you'd see a man gone wild. Through the eyes of a child. x3…

Tell me can you teach me bout your finely written poetry Dont care about the content I just want to make em notice me Such a fine hand they'd say wooo, study it closely Been practicing all day I think I'm ready least I aughta be. Caligraphy…
