SAMBA SAMBA SAMBA

SAMBA SAMBA SAMBA

A quick song I wrote for lily's 13th birthday .
Senorita Liliana, they say
you were born in Nirvana
with a spirit and karma
as cool as the dalai Lama .
But I think your soul was made somewhere in Havana
ready for dancing away the nights on the copacabana.

COLETTE

COLETTE

This is a short song I wrote for Colette's birthday she's an angel faced florist who works out of a norman church on a country estate, surrounded by angelic statues all halos and wings adding to this heavenly scene is her being bathed and baptized in the divine light from the stain glassed windows along with the scent from the flowers you think you've arrived at the garden of Eden, but then again when she puts on her leather and lace and hits the town well that's a different story , A Saturday night sinner and a Sunday morning Saint.

A song i wrote on the 5.05 train Leeds to London by the time ya get there you felt like you've been in a shipwreck rocking and rolling with so many people crushed into a small space I was gonna shout man alive!! when they opened the doors.

CORDELIA

Shakespeare was a genius at portraying the macaveillion side of the human race. The poet Shelley said that king Leah was the most perfect specimen of art existing in the world.

COVID 19

COVID 19



Our fixation with fear is definitely here. We're living like mendicant monks. Our decadent café latte lifestyles are all defunct. This virus hangs about us like the prophecy of Macbeth, a new strain of the Black Death. This damnable COVID-19 has killed what was once a hedonistic dream. 'Project fear' is all we hear, bombarded constantly into our ears. We've become farmed fish, the human hen, all crushed together into a purgatory pen, pellet-fed by Auntie Bettie and Uncle Ben.

NIRVANA

A little song about setting off on a world tour in the late seventies, it was nothing like today there were no mobile phones or multimedia just the odd phone box for calls . Your thumb and forefinger were used for hitchhiking thousands of miles around the globe taking years and years almost a decade to the point where many of us became wonderless but we did become quite skilled in the art of conversation due to spending so much time spieling with strangers , way back when you had the safety of being completely cut off where now the new wage travellers are so guarded due to the sapiens surveillance of God Google and the silicone starzi Siri .
Mar 05, 202402:29

RESURRECTION

A song about the new up and coming phones powered by A I with an electronically powered larynx that can speak back to you using a dead persons. Voice and a 3d image of a relative it's definitely like having a ghost in the machine (spooky). how long will it be before you get a replica robot of your dead relatives or friends we'll be able to have reunions or resurrection parties all the dead will literally climb out of their graves maybe we should call it the Lazarus longevity.

SEX APPEAL

SEX APPEAL



A little tune I wrote for my father over the Christmas period. He still listens to all the old crooners like Frank Sinatra, Matt Monro, and Bing Crosby. They all seem to have that lazy lullaby lilt famous in the fifties before rock and roll knocked them out of the park. I suppose that when I'm at ninety-five years of age, I will probably still be singing to Motown.
Feb 24, 202403:49
LOONEY TOON

THE BOOZE CRUISE

THE BOOZE CRUISE



Sometimes, a high-functioning alcoholic can hide their addiction for years in their workplace. They appear very professional, often in charge, but after many decades, that old and filthy liquid narcotic will take its toll. Eventually, it demands its payment in full, and their once fantastic flying machines crash and burn in a spectacular blaze, much like the Hindenburg disaster. They had been sailing majestically in a clear blue sky, but then there's a helium hiccup when one day, they light up a cigarette after filling up with ethanol, and suddenly, there's a terrible explosion.
Feb 19, 202403:03
AULD LANG SYNE

AULD LANG SYNE

A song I wrote today after seeing an old Keltic companion I haven't seen for a decade a true blue eyed raven headed Bretagne .
The Romans drove them to the furthest reaches of the kingdom so did Edward long shanks hammer of the scots who also stole their ancient kings destiny stone and put it under his own throne
Then By the act of supremacy Henry VIII made himself a god figure to rule over all kingdoms , and so you can understand by what they did why the Keltic people feel quite a mistrust towards Westminster and why they would like devolution.

SATAN'S CURSE

SATAN'S CURSE

A preacher man told me that all of us come prepackaged with the seven shades of sin which are basically our primitive seven instincts of survival the only problem is that putting modern mechanisation into the hands of we the new chimpanzee is that we've managed with our Machiavellian mischief to destroy the garden of Eden that we live in the one thing old preachers seem to have in common like the grim reaper they dress in black like a raven and seem to relish in quoting the end of times .
