Ha, that's funny Bethan - I just finished reading "Down and out in Paris and London" and thought "Instead of meeting up with an old friend, how about an old flame?"
Lyrics I have so far:
Been traveling my crooked way
My feelings like
An unleashed dog on the run
I've roamed a mile in those shoes
I'm really glad
Those sidewalkin' days are done
When I look at you
The peace flag flies
And I want to call you the one
But those eyes are devious, girl
You remember when
We had our days in the sun

You look out the window and the creek is swelling. Slowly crossing the lawn and heading up the driveway.... Time to get the lawnmower to higher ground.

Wrote all the lyrics and most of the melody for this song in one sitting during a particularly busy period in my life.
Just an indulgent little jazz tune poking fun at myself... those who know me well will instantly recognise the lyrics as…
Found this track from 1998 - I'm on a Time kick I guess...
Time waits for no one
We are all adrift
Finding ourselves in space
All Lost
Where is my Home?
Where is my Home?
Where is my Home?
Where is my Home?
Time waits for no…

Such good fun I do it all the time.
Single Gon Bops conga track miced for heavy bass. And 2 tracks of cow bell, of course.
4/4 200bpm
I’ll make my exit on the wind
Nevermore to pretend
That I’m fine
Yeah, I’m good, so good
At doin’ everything I should
To convince you
That I’m okay for today
An’ I won’t crawl out of my skin
I’ll just pretend
Some days…
Had these backing tracks laying around on my drive for a while and didn't know what to do with them, so grabbed my Ebow and a fretless electric that I built for myself a couple years ago and had a go. My fretless playing is really in its infancy…
So Jim of "Movement to Contact" asked me a couple of weeks ago to send him something...
I had no idea how ridiculously good the final result would come out.

Experimenting with the bass sound in this track is what made bass the focus of my RPM album, where previously I hadn't given much thought to bass tone.
Track #2 of the "Someone Else's Hell" album.
Lyrics:
somebody else's hell shines through
dishonesty will break us all
how long can the walls last
the unclean masses wonder
i'm standing here with them
how long until...
//someone else's hell…
his song is just an experiment or at least started that way. Based on an "Ultrabeat" groove ( the only loops ) I added parts and sang an "Off the cuff" vocal and mixed and tweaked. Mostly Midi parts played through my cheesy Midi controller but…
