Lyrics

Savanah Mae
12 /10/2020 
1st Verse:
Oh the wondrous gift of motherhood begins the day you give birth....
But when you become a grandmother it's your proudest day on earth.
So when you were born so beautiful it was truly a gift to the world....
And the full extent will be evident by the time that you’ve unfurled. 
2nd Verse:
You couldn't have come at a better time; it's now that I need you most....
And for the time that I have left with you I will always keep you close.
Meme wants you to know her love for you knows no bounds....
So no matter whether you're near or far her love can always be found.
​Chorus:
Savannah Mae, Savannah Mae, I always knew we would meet....
Savannah Mae, Savannah Mae, I feel my life is now complete.
I'll always be there to guide you, but won't get in your way....
I’m your own guardian angel; I'm your Meme Savannah Mae.
3rd Verse:
As your name suggests the world for you is like a pearl on an open plain....
And this wonderful vision I have of you now forever will remain.
Live life to the full whilst taking everything in your stride....
Retain your pride and integrity and let your conscience be your guide.
4th Verse:
Always be proud of your heritage as I'm very proud of mine....
There’s nothing that you can't achieve so never just toe the line.
As you find your way in love and life through its hectic fits and starts....
I hope you can find a space for my love in a corner of your heart.
Chorus:
Savannah Mae, Savannah Mae, I always knew we would meet....
Savannah Mae, Savannah Mae, I feel my life is now complete.
I'll always be there to guide you, but won't get in your way....
I’m your own guardian angel; I'm your Meme Savannah Mae.
5th Verse:
I won't be here in the physical state forever that we know....
But my love for you throughout your life will forever grow and grow.
One day when you have grandchildren this will all become so clear....
And maybe you'll tell them of your meme whilst shedding a happy tear.
​Chorus:
Savannah Mae, Savannah Mae, I always knew we would meet....
Savannah Mae, Savannah Mae, I feel my life is now complete.
I'll always be there to guide you, but won't get in your way....
I’m your own guardian angel; I'm your Meme Savannah Mae.

​​I Popped into town and parked in my normal car park.
There was a guy sat by the ticket machine.
If he's still there when I come back I will give him a couple
of quid or if I pass a greggs a couple of sausage rolls.
It's what I do. It was a really cold day so
on this occasion it was both.
 Whilst driving home "Another Day in Paradise" by
Phil Collins came on the radio.
I wrote this as soon as I got home.

City Nomads
23/02/2020​

Intro:
They wake up and look to the sky, some days they are happy and feel they could fly.... 
There are days that they wonder why, these days seem so long they can almost cry. 
But mostly they just get by, making sure that they keep their cardboard dry....
City nomads why oh why, when the nights draw in they could actually die. 
Chorus: 
This is not "Another day in paradise" that Phil Collins made surreal....
I'm not gonna do a Bob Dylan, and ask you "How does it feel".
It isn't helping anyone feeling guilt or casting blame.... 
Just knowing city nomads exist is to me a crying shame.
1st Verse:
They sleep by shop doors or stairs, good spots they're more than happy to share....
Soon they are feeling despair, when thugs come to spit and pull on there hair.
Some will desperately beg in the day, they can be quite vocal or just sit and sway....  
The big issue can earn them some pay, but most of them most nights have nowhere to stay. 
2nd Verse: 
We're not being asked to take to the fields and hunt them down a rabbit....
Yet people say they won't give cash, in fear of feeding a bad habit.
As a passer by of a homeless guy, you know you don't have the solution.... 
But these queens subjects are just ignored, and rank below pollution. 
Chorus: 
This is not "Another day in paradise" that Phil Collins made surreal....
I'm not gonna do a Bob Dylan, and ask you "How does it feel". 
It isn't helping anyone feeling guilt or casting blame.... 
Just knowing city nomads exist is to me a crying shame.
3rd Verse:
WE know the soup kitchens and shelters are being run by volunteers....
And if you ask the government to get involved, it just keeps falling on deaf ears.
We need to force the powers that be, to make city nomads obsolete.... 
No one in this country should be living on the street.
Chorus: 
This is not "Another day in paradise" that Phil Collins made surreal....
I'm not gonna do a Bob Dylan, and ask you "How does it feel". 
It isn't helping anyone feeling guilt or casting blame.... 
Just knowing city nomads exist is to me a crying shame.
Repeat Intro:
They wake up and look to the sky, some days they are happy and feel they could fly.... 
There are days that they wonder why, these days seem so long they can almost cry. 
But mostly they just get by, making sure that they keep their cardboard dry....
City nomads why oh why, when the nights draw in they could actually die.

 I have to confess I am an avid watcher of the X factor
as is my daughter. Every week we will text or
phone each other while it's on. But X Factor the band, YUK.
We did not like it. When one girl came on all coy claiming
she was shy then sang a song that she had written
herself in front of 2,500 people we were vext.
I told my daughter I could write a verse like that
in the time it takes me to make a cup of tea.
So I did and this is the result.

So this is a true story. It happened in 1992.
All three of us we're divorced or going through a divorce.
I was just being me at the time. 
After i'd written three songs in quick succession 
my friend Mike said "you don't need to look for inspiration,
look at all the stories you've got". 
So I did and this is one of them.

Tarzanogram
​07/11/2019
​
So there's me and my two cousins we're all married by 18....
15 years have passed now not a partner to be seen.
To console each other on sunday nights we meet up at the Oak....
We don't go there to wollow so we always have a joke.
The landlord Martins took to us cause we're bringing people in....
And pretty soon we're on the list to stay for the lock in.

One night a bunch of girls came in, you could tell it was a hen....
I sidled up to the one at the bar and said "which one is it then".
"if you must know it's the one in blue but what's it to do with you".... 
I said, "i'm the strippers agent and the guy tonight is new".
"Oh I am sorry I said, I  thought you'd made the call".... 
Still let's not go and spoil it now and ruin it for them all.

My cousin will do anything for the right amount of beer.... 
So I gave him the landlord's leopard skins and whispered in his ear. 
In the freezing men's toilets he's waiting in the wings....
So I give the guys a thumbs up for him to come and do his thing.
He came skidding round the corner with his roaring Tarzan chants....
His tackle accidently slipping out of Martins pants.

The best way to describe this guy, well he really is a minger....
And to see him in those leopard skins would put you off your dinner.
He went steaming towards there table as the girls eyes opened wide....
He completely lost his footing and began to slip and slide. 
He crashed so hard into their crowd not a single drink survived....
From the position he ended up in he was lucky to be alive. 
​
If that's not enough the bride to be gave him a good old thump.... 
But even worse she then stood up to reveal an 8 month bump. 
At this point I decided I should remove myself from site.... 
While Martin gave them all free drinks to make the best of a bad night. 
Eventually I apologised and the bride said its alright.... 
But my dirty minging cousin stayed in those leapard skins all night.

The Dark Side" 
27/10/2019

The dark side took him young, and now it just won't let him go....
We say we want him back, but did we ever have him I don't know.
He asks his mum "can I come home", cause he knows she won't say no....
But it won't be very long before, the strain begins to show.
Chorus:
And now he's....
Hiding in the long grass, only dealers dare to grow....
We try to talk him out, but he just doesn't want to know.
from eating junk food in
his bedroom, you'll find him standing on a bridge....
And more than once he's made the call to say, help me.
Or I might just end all this.
2nd Verse:
He says he's getting better,
but then he just won't take his meds....
He'll put his thoughts down in a letter, then he'll cry all night in bed.
There's help for him out there, but he'll just push right passed instead....
Yet he'll openly admit, he can't control what's in his head.
Chorus:
And now he's....
Hiding in the long grass only dealers dare to grow....
We try to talk him out but he just doesn't want to know.
from eating junk food in
his bedroom, you'll find him standing on a bridge....
And more than once he's made the call to say, help me.
Or I might just end all this....
I might just end all this.
Aaaaaaaahhhh....
Aaaaaaaahhhh....
Aaaaaaaahhhh....
(Bridge)
Chorus:
And now he's....
Hiding in the long grass only dealers dare to grow....
We try to talk him out but he just doesn't want to know.
from eating junk food in
his bedroom, you'll find him standing on a bridge....
And more than once he's made the call to say, help me.
Or I might just end all this....
I might just end all this.
3rd Verse:
I thought i'd found a way to him through the music we both share....
I was optimistic to believe, I could  prove how much I care.
At just 18 we can't stand by while the dark side lays him bare....
So we've got to pull together now, and make the world aware.
Chorus:
And now he's....
Hiding in the long grass only dealers dare to grow....
We try to talk him out but he just doesn't want to know.
from eating junk food in
his bedroom, you'll find him standing on a bridge....
And more than once he's made the call to say, help me.
Or I might just end all this....
I might just end all this....
I might just end all this.
Oh no.... Oh no.... Oh no

"Marry Me"
09/10/2019
​
I will carve you love spoons while you take a milky bath.... 
I'll perform la serenata while you hope the rain will last. 
We can have a good old zaffe while your henna mehndi's done.... 
I'll keep shooting you with arrows while your crying for a month.
I will pay the ransom for you then you'll have your kitchen tea.... 
And that's before you marry me. 

You can wear a tsunokakushi while I swap my clothes with you.... 
We can make it lucky Wednesday gold and silver in your shoes. 
We'll have flatbread on our shoulders and stefanas on our heads.... 
I will take a falaka beating then i'll stand you on my left.
You'll have sugar cubes in your glove as they bind our hands with love.... 
              And that's while you marry me.                 

We'll sweep the broken porcelain with one foot on the ground....
They can cut the tie and garter up while we pour the coloured sands.
We can give out jordan almonds while they watch the camel dance.... 
Then we'll saw a log together before the bottom pinching stance. 
        We can plant a pine tree while they shower us with peas.... 
That's once you've married me. 

Do you know what....
We could just sneak out of the room and go jump the broom.
Will you please just marry me.

​I was driving out of Glastonbury on my way home.
I came to a hill and suddenly found myself behind a lorry.
It was really struggling.
It was so slow it felt like it was coming back towards me.
The name on the back of the lorry was Reaper.
I thought "Grim Reaper more like it".
I eventually reached the motorway services.
By this time i'd written the chorus in my head.
I wrote the rest over a coffee.​
​
​The Reaper
22/01/2020

​Who.... Who....Who.... 
Who makes snap decisions without a second thought.... 
Who continues lying when they know that they've been caught. 
Who thinks they're the special one when they're just an average Joe.... 
And who clings on to a lover when they really should let them go. 
2nd Verse:
Who's always in a hurry when they've got no place to be.... 
Who walks into a coffee shop and orders them a tea. 
Who's still wearing big buckle belts and winkle picker shoes.... 
And who thinks they've reached the point where there's nothing left to lose. 
Chorus: 
Who did what to the reaper to make him feel so grim.... 
Who plays devils advocate without being forced by him. 
I'll ask you once then i'll ask you twice then i'll ask you once again.... 
Who did what to the reaper to make him feel so grim.
3rd Verse:
Who's crying over spilt milk when there really not to blame.... 
Who drives down the motorway using just the middle lane. 
Who still thinks the worlds flat when it's clear that it's a sphere.... 
And who fronts up to danger then says let's get out of here.
4th Verse:
Who thinks they should be sat down when they're standing on a train.... 
Who's just left a restaurant and said I won't go there again. 
Who's always saying sorry when it's never them at fault.... 
And who's been running for a bus wishing they were Usain Bolt. 
Chorus: 
Who did what to the reaper to make him feel so grim.... 
Who plays devils advocate without being forced by him. 
I'll ask you once then i'll ask you twice then i'll ask you once again.... 
Who did what to the reaper to make him feel so grim. 
5th Verse:
Who's never heard of Howlin' Wolf but claims to love the blues.... 
Who reads all the gossip then starts living off fake news. 
Who puts on a brave face when they really are in pain.... 
And who was Carly thinking of when she wrote "you're so vain". 
6 Verse:
Who wears dainty sandals knowing they've got size 12 feet....
Who claims to be a veggie then secretly eats meat.
Who writes silly love songs; sir Paul has wrote the most....
And who in their right mind is putting margarine on toast. 
Now that's criminal.... Come on.... 
Chorus 
Who did what to the reaper to make him feel so grim.... 
Who plays devils advocate without being forced by him. 
Well i'll ask you once then i'll ask you twice then i'll ask you once again.... 
Who did what to the reaper to make him feel so grim. 
I said who did what to the reaper... 
To make him feel so grim.

​Santa's Still Coming
13/12/2019

​1st Verse: 
Santa's sleigh is loaded and it's all ready to go.... 
They're bringing round the reindeer leaving hoof prints in the snow.
With a ho ho ho and a wave goodbye he's set to hit the sky....
But his mobile rings so he answers it, it's the city council guy.
I'm glad I caught you Santa before you set out on your way....
Because a council meetings just voted to keep you out today.
The methane from the reindeer affects the ozone layer....
So a no-fly zone's been established to keep them out of here.
Chorus :
"Gather all yee children" the town cryer he duth yell....
He calls out 2 or 3 times as he's ringing out his bell. 
A croud of children gather close, to be sure to hear him right....
Santa won't be coming... tonight. 
2nd Verse:
"But what about the children and all their toys and gifts" ....
There's no way I can let them down just because of this.
I'll get a train, i'll get a bus or i'll hire me a van....
Hold on there mr Santa Claus, no one's said you can.
This city is a protected zone with only low emissions....
And for you to drive a van round here you'll need  council permission.
I beg of you mr councillor can the meeting re-convene....
I'll get a lift in an electric car to keep my passage clean. 
Chorus :
"Gather all yee children" the town cryer he duth yell....
He calls out 2 or 3 times as he's ringing out his bell. 
A croud of children gather close, to be sure to hear him right....
Santa won't be coming... tonight.
3rd Verse:
My thanks to all you councillors for hearing my appeal....
I'll put this in prospective and try to keep it real.
The city's eco policy is wonderful i'm sure....
But I am Santa Claus and need to come but once a year. 
If I were a child in this city today i'd be broken hearted.... 
To think that Santa won't be back just because a reindeer farted. 
The meeting ends and the chairman states, it's down to me to say....  
Santa we're so sorry, go on get back in your sleigh. 
Chorus :
"Gather all yee children" the town cryer he duth yell....
He calls out 2 or 3 times as he's ringing out his bell. 
A croud of children gather close, to be sure to hear him right....
Good news children, Santa Will be coming... 
Tonight.

Written after attending a funeral of someone who had
been robbed of their last few years by

It's Still Me
12/12/2019
​
As we all know dementia is a terrifying word....
A word that every one of us wish we'd never heard. 
Once it's introduced itself it will never leave your side.... 
But it will go on to rob you of your dignity and pride. 
You'll start to feel a burden on the ones you hold so dear.... 
Then time will take its toll on them, the affects are very clear. 
It doesn't have a preference to whom or where or when....
So anyone that's near to you could become the next victim. 
Musical interlude:
I'm your father your mother your sister your brother.... 
Your daughter your son, yes the chosen one.
I'm your husband your wife your partner for life.... 
Your own special lover or significant other. 
I'm your uncle your aunt or you could be mine.... 
Or maybe I'm the cousin that kept you in line. 
I'm your grandad your nan or very best friend.... 
But what's special to me is you're here at the end. 

We've shared many memories so precious it's true.... 
Here's hoping those memories are as precious to you.

When you look in my eyes and believe they are vacant.... 
Please, look again with a little more patience.

Now close your eyes and imagine you hear.... 
Me gently whispering in your ear....
It's Still Me. 
Musical interlude:
It's Still Me.... The father of the bride.
It's Still Me... The mother who gave you life. 
It's Still Me.... The sister you adored.
It's Still Me.... The brother you applaud.
It's Still Me.... Your daughter or your son, either or I still believe I was the chosen one.
It's Still Me.... Your husband or your wife, who vowed we'd stay together till the last day of our lives.
It's Still Me.... Your special lover, or as some like to say your significant other.
It's Still Me.... Your uncle or your aunt, or am I the cousin that was your best man. 
It's Still Me.... Your grandad or your nan, remembering my love for you as long as I still can.
It's Still Me....  Your very best friend, how this is for you I just cannot comprehend.
But it's Still Me....
Musical interlude: 
Don't let your lasting memory be of me like this....
Remember when I was REALLY ME, not in this Abyss.

​
As soon as I walked in the bar I saw her standing there.... 
Shoe horned boots and shoe horned jeans and flowing flame red hair.
I new that she was watching me so I tried to play it cool....
But she just came right up to me and said "hey let's shoot some pool" .

She was pretty good i'd have to say but i'm not too bad myself....
But it soon became quite obvious our thoughts were somewhere else.
She said "you gonna walk me home" as she whispered in my ear....
I said "yeah let's get out of here" as I finished up my beer.

It was looking great as we reached her gate till the key went in the door....
Then suddenly it was shush and hush as we crept to the first floor.
Confused I asked "is this alright is everything OK" ....
She said "yeah it's just him downstairs we had a row the other day" .

So we're getting down to business and soon we're both laid bare....
Then suddenly a noise erupts at the bottom of the stair. 
The guy is going crazy as he thunders towards her room....
I thought you better act now my son cos troubles coming soon. 

With jewels in hand and just in time I rolled off of the bed....
But nothing could prepare me for the size of this guy's head.
He'd dived across the bed and landed just above my face....
He said "10 seconds is what you've got sunshine to disappear without a trace".
​
I didn't need 10 seconds I was gone in 3 or 4....
So butt naked with clothes in hand i'm stood outside her front door.
Now thinking back I must admit I got off pretty light....
And the people in the takeaway, well it must of made their night.

​ "Sensing Love"  
8/10/2019 

When I really want to see you I just close my eyes....
I smell your hair in the morning then I feel my spirits rise.
I hear your laughter in the distance and it's like music to my ears....
Then suddenly I find myself tasting my own tears.
And the slightest touch can mean so very much....
Just the slightest touch can mean so very much.

Yeah, Sensing love is easy or so they say....
And my sixth sense is saying your loves hear to stay.

When you sit and watch a sunset I share in your delight....
When I smell your favourite perfume a spark in me ignites.
When you hear a certain rhythm you become my dancing queen....
And your culinary genius creates tastes of fine cuisine.
And the slightest touch can mean so very much....
Just the slightest touch can mean so very much.
Chorus....
Sensing Love is easy it comes so naturally....
And my sixth sense is saying your love's right for me.
Yeah, Sensing love is easy or so they say....

I watch you lay down on my pillow asleep you quickly fall....
While the smell of scented candles still lingers in the hall.
Then your whisper breaks the silence as you live part of your dream....
Then I get to taste you with a kiss I gently glean.
And the slightest touch can mean so very much....
Just the slightest touch can mean so very much.
Chorus....
Sensing Love is easy it comes so naturally....
And my sixth sense is saying your love's right for me.
Yeah, Sensing love is easy or so they say....
And my sixth sense is saying your loves hear to stay.
