Never aware of our needs,
Time flows on and on.

Got to get going!
Only ninety days remain
To pen forty more.

Believe in something,
But not what they dream about;
Their dreams are evil.

Maybe it's intuition
But some things you just don't question
Like in your eyes
I see my future in an instant
And there it goes
I think I've found my best friend
I know that it might sound more than a little crazy
But I believe
I knew I loved…

This one has a pretty silly lyric - it's about making up a place called “Wendouree Lane”, then later meeting someone who actually lives on Wendouree Lane and discovering that it actually does exist.

A last minute inclusion to my RPM 2012 album, after deciding to ditch a song and replace it with a better one. It was written in a hurry.

Big cheesy pop song. Simple lyric, simple tune.

The tune is recycled from a song I wrote in the early 90s. All new lyrics.

I wrote this about a very-now-ex-girlfriend somewhere back in the '90s. People seem to like it (actually, there's been a comparison to Duncan Sheik made several times by several people - I'll take it!) Essentially me being pissy :)

I was sorta trying to write a Mclusky song here - I wasn't exactly successful, but it was fun to try. All of the lyrics are sentences from the 37th page of different books I had lying around: See if you recognize anything from your favorite novel…

While adding effects to a song, I accidentally put distortion on a leftover silent recording. I kind of liked the hum that resulted and made the rhythm track out of that.

I came up with "Robot Pizza Militia" because I just wanted a title with the initials RPM, but oddly it did end up fitting the song.

The is a song a wrote a long time ago, circa 1993, before I know how to write songs. Recorded 1999.

A pop song about on-lane dating. Inspired by a friend, not auto-biographical. Not one of my best.

Another really old song from the early 90s. My lyrics were very obtuse back then (or just plain nonsensical).

This one's about friend who was a heroin addict - and a camping trip. That's my memory of it. Written in 1999.

Step away step away
Don't you dare

You sent me straight to the top without caring

Walking through the fields

Sometimes, it's hard
To make things clear

So open your eyes

From a phone booth in Vegas
Jessie calls at five a.m.

You are far
When I could have been your star

Who scared you to death

Strange that you were strong enough

The approach to the moon.
This one was going to have lyrics around the second melody piece, but nothing fitted and I decided it was more appropriate to just have it as an instrumental.

Each moon landing could only spend a short time on the surface before it was time to leave.
Buzz Aldrin's words on the moon struck me as very descriptive so they became the title. To be fair, I let Neil Armstrong do much of the vocals on this…
