So you stopped coming round
Your heart buried in the ground
It's a shock, it's a scene
You never say what you mean
Emotional landmines
You can see the stop signs
But you're not slowing down
One foot on the trip line
And the words fly…
How you gonna sleep when you're never sound?
How you gonna keep you fever down?
Your an eyeful
How you gonna walk when you never run?
Chip off the block your father's son
You're an eye sore
And I wonder if I'll bend under
The weight of…
How you gonna sleep when you're never sound?
How you gonna keep you fever down?
Your an eyeful
How you gonna walk when you never run?
Chip off the block your father's son
You're an eye sore

Last night I dreamed I was a dancer
In an old off Broadway show
And I danced with the girls in balcony
And I sang to the mezzanine row
It was Tin Pan Alley and Salvador Dali
At the curtain the crowd leapt to their feet
And I bowed and I…

From the first second of this song I was digging it. I love the instrumentation, the arrangement, the style -- very tasteful indeed! Great job -- Rock on!

i heard this before when you posted it on FB, but it's amazing how much i love your music for a style that is not one i would ever listen to. when you're rocking it's rocking and when you shift gears like this one, it's haunting and true. keep on making music like this man, if were up to me, you'd be a rockstar on a million dollar deal playing this for the whole world to hear.

Oh my sky
What has come between you and I?
One million tons
Of chloroflourocarbons
Saw it in a movie
Watched it with the subtitles on
But my heart has overdrawn
Can I owe you some?
Oh My Sky
We’ve forgotten how to fly
What have we done…
How you gonna sleep when you're never sound?
How you gonna keep you fever down?
Your an eyeful
How you gonna walk when you never run?

I miss the smell of your hands
Your breath
The feel of your skin
We didn’t have to talk
Just understood
What the other was
We are of the same
But we knew
The end would come
Time is no friend
We are not healed
The pain is old
But feels new…
one of those 'it was written even before i started' songs that just rolls out like magic
i tried to keep it simple so as not to destroy the vibe
first finished (if unmixed) track for RPM 2010
this is one i have to stop tweaking - six versions and i still don't get what i hear in my head
would love some crit for this one as it's doing my head in
thanks
An older song that was originally inspired by Prefab Sprout's "Goodbye Lucille #1 (aka 'Johnny Johnny')" but has morphed into it's current state that's more influenced by Suicide and House of Love.
this was my last rpm song...i had a little mandolin riff and threw on the kazoo (which broke in the last verse), and it reminded me a happy bee buzzing around...and there you have it!
It enters us
Without us knowing
Not welcome
Uninvited
Go away
Leave me alone
Give me peace
Let me rest
Eat us from the inside
Bit by bit
Cell by cell
Multiplying
Taking over
Invaded
Go away
Leave me alone
Give me peace
Let…
In the moment
So alive
Taunting death
Every color sings
Every smell
Breathe deep
Open wide
All is new
Sounds inspire
Electric space
Shed the skin
Of the old
All is new
All is new
Take my hand
Run so fast
We’re alive
Taunting death
great guitar work..reminds me of Lindsay Buckingham meets John Martyn meets Nick Drake...also very smooth vocals...also like how the song morphs into something totally different as it progresses...
A song I've had stored in my head for quite awhile, though never committed to tape (erm... binary code) - probably because I thought it was a bit simple and even trite. Having to come up with an album's worth of material in a month cured me of…
Never, never again. How many times have we all uttered that statement the "morning after?" This song explores the regrets from the night before and blames it all on "devil drink cider called Johnny Jump Up".
Contrary to public opinion, the term "The Holy Ground" doesn't refer to the Emerald Isle. Nope. It's the name of a whore house that Irish sailors would visit. The Irish have quite a sense of humor...!
Straight ahead stone city electric blues for an old friend who used to spend hours spinning BB King and Mike Bloomfield records for me. Recorded back sometime at the end of 2006 on old analog equipment
