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



Enjoy!

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)



Enjoy!

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



Enjoy!

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



Enjoy!

Words | New Song



Words

When your thoughts get twisted and your head feels numb
And you can’t see beyond the damage you’ve done
When you’re slipping away and tryin’ to hold on
But you can’t find your grip ‘cus you know that your wrong
When it troubles you nightly when trying to sleep
With the weight of it all and you underneath

You need words, but words can only be said
And most often words miss the nails head

When your sparkle is lost and your magic’s expired
When you’re running on empty with four flat tyres
When your making and breaking of lovers and friends
Has cast your heart and blinded your brain
When your days go by fast and the minutes pass slow
And your dead in the water with no where to go

You want words, but words can hardly express
And most often words miss the nails head

When your collar is up to the wind at your neck
And you’re crippled inside with buckling legs
You need bag of good fortune not silver or gold
And the willing to try to break out of you mould
You need words, but words can only be said
And most often words miss the nails head

You need words, but words can hardly express
And most often words miss the nails head



Enjoy!
