Old Romantic

You might think you know me

That I’m as predictable as one could be

But I’m chasing something I’ve seen

And it just might save me from what I’ve been

‘Cus I’m an old romantic at heart

All I ever wanted was not to be apart

All I ever wanted was a chance for us to start

But fuses are short and you’re on your guard

You might think me callous and cold

But I feel I’m softening as I get old

I’m just an old romantic at heart

All I ever wanted was not to be apart

All I ever wanted was a chance for us to start

All I ever wanted was not to be apart

But fuses are short and you’re on your guard

And I’m not that smart

All I ever wanted was not to be apart

All I ever wanted was a chance for us to start

All I ever wanted was not to be apart

But fuses are short and you’re on your guard

And I'm not that smart

Sea Shantys

---

A few sea shantys - a collaboration with salty old dogs Nick Allwright and Chris Hall, June 2011.

Shanty 1

Sinking down, into the depths of despair

Weighed down by the anchor, going nowhere

Oh how I missed you – the girl with red hair

Shanty 2

Steely grey my expression wore

Rolling seas the winds they tore

Through the waves and to your core

Into the surf and to the storm

The Right One | New Song

The Right One

There are just and then there’s unfair now

I wouldn’t want you to think I’ve had more than my share

But I’ve lived a life, I’ve seen a few

Things to know that, the right one is you

The right one is you

Television rots my brain and you’re the one who keeps me sane so

Give me your troubles I’ll take my share ‘cus

I wouldn’t want you to think, that I don’t care

Misunderstandings missed paths and crossed lines

Etched in time our hearts are entwined so

Gimme all that you can spare

I wouldn’t want you to think that nobody’s there

So if you’re thinking sometimes could this be it?

Or you’re close to, just losing your grip

I’ll give you all my love and more to spare

‘Cus I wouldn’t want you to think, that I’m not there

That I’m not there

There are just and then there’s unfair now

I wouldn’t want you to think I’ve had more than my share

But I’ve lived a life, I’ve seen enough to know that

The right one is you

I’ve seen enough to know that, (the right one is you)

I’ve seen enough to know that, (the right one is you)

Nothing is as Simple | New Song

---

Nothing is as Simple

The way the earth moves around the sun

The way the sun goes down on everyone

And in the end well did you make a sound?

When your day is done, whos gonna be around?

I hate to see you down on your luck

Don’t you believe that everything’s fucked ‘cus

Nothing is as simple or as hard as it seems

Nothing is as simple or as hard as it seems

Nothing is as simple or as hard as it seems

I like the sun shining on my back

I love to see you when you don’t hold back

The way the wind blows through the trees

The way that I know you were made for me

And nothing could ever break us or tear at our seams

When your day is done, I’m gonna be around

When your day is done, I’m gonna be around

When your day is done, I’m gonna be around

When your day is done, I’m gonna be around

When your day is done, I’m gonna be around

No & Maybe | New Song

---

No & Maybe

Though the footsteps are broken

Don’t pretend that nothings in time

Though your heart may get broken

The way I see it things always come right

But she was a classic case of how no and maybe

Could mean the very same thing at the very same time

And does it seem strange to you to think that one day

All of your troubles will be left behind

And though the tears may have fallen

I’ll brush my hand cross your cheek till it’s dry

And though your feelings are frozen

The way I see it things always come right

But she was a classic case of how no and maybe

Could mean the very same thing at the very same time

And does it seem strange to you to think that one day

You might find some peace of mind

While the heavens may have opened

Please don’t be bitter and don’t feel down

When one door closes another opens

The way I see it things always come round

I don’t want your pity and I don’t want your lies

I need your hesitation or to hear your alibis

She was a classic case of how no and maybe

Could mean the very same thing at the very same time

Does it seem strange to you to think that one day

You might find some peace of mind

Yeah she was a classic case of how no and maybe

Could mean the very same thing at the very same time

Does it seem strange to you to think that one day

All of your troubles will be left behind
