Pour Marjo. A piece I did for a friend back in 2021.

Well it's last call at The Starlite Lounge And she's up on stage and she won't get down And the wallflowers order up one more round She want's to stay up and play And from their brows the sweat does pour Well the temperature must be 34…

Franky's boat is too small for the by's You could maybe hold a lobster pot Or a seal for flipper pie We need to bring in more than this and I'm not gonna lie Franky's boat is too small for the by's I'm headed to St. John's To the teller…

We set out from the harbour Rigging's made of twine Seagulls laughing overhead While the wind was of two minds Would it blow us on to glory Or drown us in the tide Take us along for the ride Would it take us along for the ride Don't…

Well we calls him Uncle Joe and he lives 60 miles away Walking in to town to work, the ice fills in the bay Well I likes to get me drop of stuff, no money I got to pay But I got this earthen jug and it won't go astray A quart of water in…

There's a stretch of shore that the old men know Where the waves they rumble and long swells roll Flakes stand tall and the cod lay white Dried by the sun and the ocean's sweet bite They call it a room not for walls nor doors A fisherman…

I'm not a pirate I'm a privateer I'm not a pirate I'm a privateer And you should probably stay away from here for now Cause all I'm trying to do is blend in with the crowd At first I did it to protect the fleet I'd bomb, I'd pillage, I…

Well one fine morning I went out To the docks to get a feed There was Skipper Thomas Payne With a bucket of fish from the sea So I emptied out me wallet "Sir will this cover your fee"? He said "No my'son it won't buy the lot, Not even by…

Some go North, some go East Go by boat, go by feet I'm a handler Mend your nets, give relief Fix your house, pull your teeth I'm spread pretty thin Here we go boys, through the overflow boys Just with the clothes on our back I said…

I am the missing link Between the green and pink Oh the whites of their eyes, wide with surprise Well what must people think When they see me on the floor Running around the store Well I'spose that fashion's never been this fast before…

All the by's down by the cove Where the fish is dried and the boats are tied They fights about where the lights should go All the by's down by the cove Well we had a fire back in '92 And the slums survived and the shops all died And the…

I'm a boy from down the Valley I'm Codroy to the bone I makes a livin' drivin' rigs and now I got me own I calls her "The First Lady", a beauty to behold We'll load her up and haul her out from every stage and store The Starlite in me rearview…

I went down To the dividing wall And reached out to my brothers and my sisters in war For far out across the land Too many felled by violent hands I shed my skin 'Cause I smelled death Clawing on the wind Couldn't catch my breath…

A re-recording of the very first song I wrote for the RPM Challenge in 2008. Doesn't really sound any better to be honest just different.

String laid in the bedpost, Tug on it with a smile, String out to the hallway, Past the evil feline. To the living room, That string would wind, Tied to your ankle, Answer eveytime. Rush to my bedside, See everything was fine. I…

Come out! Tonight! Forget the reasons to say “Might!” Stay out, Til’ Midnight! Don’t leave me waiting in moonlight! I never thought, that it would end like this. Caught in a dream, if I am than I love sleep! Where would we go, if it…

Where do they go? A true friend for the end? Call! Wish they could let me know, They’re coming back for the end. Call! High time to, Come back on through, Call! Call! Ain’t no point to show it, Give up the pretend, Call! Caught…

Can we have a little conversation? I saw you across the room, Take you for a ride, On the Supercycle soon, Got a holder for your coke, Got an ace in the spokes, Yeah, this baby’s full suspension, And when we ride the tires smoke! Yeah…

I know when you stayed up I know you made me quit it I know that something’s wrong It’s not a winning ticket Ever I hear this song It’s not what I would pick but Don’t take this mic Don’t hate tonight Give it a million years Another…

I don't know what I'm doing

I’m a space man Scrunching up my face, man Natural high A disgrace man Something on my face man Catch it tonight Everywhere i’m going everybody seems to want me to know Everywhere i’m going everybody seems to want me to know It’s…
