When you pull at that thread
And watch the world unfurl
Around you
Please don’t pick at that scab
Leave it well alone
Or it will never mend…
My dad, Jimmy Higgins (17.08.1937 - 05.10.1977) would have been 80 years old today, sadly he passed away at the age of 41. He was quite a guy and fitted more into his short life than i could probably fit in if i live to be 200 years old.

And those yet still to come
It fills me with a sense of wonder
To watch the rising sun

a wee short one
A long time has passed since we last met
I hope that life’s been treating you well
And what are you up to these days
Are you with somebody else
And do you see any of the old crowd
I wonder where they all are now
The years…

Ken from over on the Cool lab sent me over the music with a backing vocal Bright Green Eyes to have a crack at .......well here it is....Thanks Ken
Bright Green Eyes (Lyrics)
She was six feet one and beautiful with her Jimmy Choo heels

Just me and my acoustic.
I've just learned how to record both at the same time.
I didn't know this song the day before this recording.
It was done in one take, with dodgy guitar playing, wrong lyrics and sore throat :)
My recent fascination / obsession with the Devoto-era Buzzcocks is over. Here's an early Magazine song.
Was going to be done unplugged style - the guitar parts were originally guide parts to be replaced with acoustic parts. I got to like them…

Great song. A lovely sound to it all...

Very nice! Sounds like U2 circa Pop/Zooropa (a bit), for lack of a better comparison.
like it :-)
nice, love the base
Atmospheric and effective. Like the way it develops
This is great. Rhythmic and clever lyrics too!
Excellent vocal and guitar sound. Really good.
A wonderful song with great ambience and vocals, very much enjoyed.
Tasty track. Like it.
You got my feet tapping with this one! Great Mix.
Rocks. Cool mix.
Excellent ........
What a beauty.......
cool bass line and a totally danceable groove. Great mix man! this is quite awesome.
this has taken on a greater meaning with the news about scottish author iain banks. my thoughts are with him and his family.
Braw, great tune!
Wonderful track, ORH, it's simple and doesn't try to be more or less than it is. Hits the nail on the head, so to speak.
Oh man ....nice song. Seen it up the other day and did not gvet a chance to listen.
Had trouble getting this to play earlier - real glad I gave it another go. Wonderful.
