  • Lost in the Music
    Music & lyric by Ian Jeffrey King.
    [VERSE 1]
    You've laid down the law, now you’re lost in the music
    The river's run dry, so you hide away
    Time to build your wall
    Time to miss the call again
    [VERSE 2]
    You tell me we're done, then you’re lost in a movie
    You're back in the sand, just buried away
    Time to dig the hole
    Time to play the roll again
    [CHORUS]
    You don't trust that I will follow
    You still think that I'll leave
    Can't you see that I will be here
    Can't you see?
    [VERSE 3]
    Your secrets are safe when you're lost on your island
    You're light years away but still in the room
    Time to build your wall
    So you're standing tall again
    [REPEAT CHORUS]

  • Back From Avalon (Radio Edit)
    Music & lyric by Ian Jeffrey King.
    [VERSE 1]
    You know that love can kill you faster than a gun
    You won't feel the pain or see the bullet come
    I have felt the wounds and all they can become
    It’s a point of high emotion, swimming back from Avalon
    [VERSE 2]
    You’re deaf and blinded when you’re going through the phase
    No-one can help you when you will not act your age
    Too much love can kick you right between the eyes
    It's not soft or subtle, it will be a big surprise
    [CHORUS]
    Even good ones start to crawl
    When they're backed against a wall
    When love’s slipping through their hands
    They will make a final stand
    [VERSE 3]
    You should listen when friends patiently conveyed
    That not everyone should always be obeyed.
    Are you clinging on for something to believe
    Is it fact or supposition, or could you be being played
    [INSTRUMENTAL BREAK]
    [REPEAT CHORUS]

  • I Don't Care
    Music & lyric by Ian Jeffrey King.
    [VERSE 1]
    I don't care about money, I've got all that I need
    I'm no social climber fixated on greed.
    Some crave evolution, I just don't feel the same
    I'd rather be here with no skin in the game.
    [CHORUS]
    Why cross the border, there's no-one to run to
    I just want you near me, I just dig your bones.
    My hopes and my dreams are all standing beside me
    You're all that I want and you're more than I need.
    [VERSE 2]
    I don't want to be there, I won't like the view
    Who wants the in-crowd, my in-crowd is you.
    Why carve a new road, if your road is here
    No money is worth that, it's my only fear.
    [REPEAT CHORUS]
    [INSTRUMENTAL]
    [VERSE 3]
    So I guess I'll be staying right here with you
    You see the world sideways, the same way I do.
    Let's settle for mainstream and follow the flow
    Let's kick off our shoes with our ducks in a row.

  • Hung Up On Me
    Music & lyric by Ian Jeffrey King.
    [VERSE 1]
    People talk about me, they know I know
    And they talk about which way I go
    They're fixated on my hair and clothes
    Why? God only knows.
    They must be shallow if they're hung up on me
    I'm captivating in their misery
    I must have something that they want to see
    Must be cool being me.
    [CHORUS]
    You can walk, you can talk
    But you need to focus on you, yeah
    Focus on you, yeah
    You can itch, you can bitch
    You'd better build some muscle on you, yeah
    Muscle on you, yeah
    Sit and steam, sit and dream
    Maybe one day you'll be me, yeah
    You'd kill to be me, yeah
    You can try, you can lie
    But you're bewitched by me, yeah
    Hung up on me, yeah
    [INSTRUMENTAL]
    [VERSE 2]
    I can take it and do you know why?
    You make me cooler, I don't have to try
    Why you settle for just being you
    I'm pretty cool
    I do my thing and you're straining to see
    The adulation that you throw on me
    You get your kicks and in a while
    I make you smile.
    [REPEAT CHORUS]

  • Bills To Pay (2026 Arrangement)
    Music & lyric by Ian Jeffrey King.
    [VERSE 1]
    I've just had it with your attitude
    You're walking 'round in this unholy mood.
    I've got plans to make and bills to pay
    And I just wish that you would fade away. (way, way, way...).
    [VERSE 2]
    There's no love here like there used to be
    There's no face there smiling back at me
    I'm so tired of all I do for you
    And you confuse me like you oughtn't to. (to, to, to...).
    [CHORUS]
    Sometimes I lie there in the afterglow
    Just planning how and when and where to go
    It's getting hazy, going crazy in the middle of the street.
    I'm not the fool I think I used to be
    Is this all life has got lined up for me
    And staring back ain't helping anyone, time to cut and run.
    [VERSE 2]
    I fear the passion in the core of me
    Is fading fast and will be lost at sea
    I've got to find a place to free the foe
    I should get out now and just end this show. (oh, oh, oh...).
    Cant save the best till last, what's gone has passed
    Time to let it go.
    [SYNTH SOLO]
    [REPEAT CHORUS]
    [VERSE 3]
    And so this chapter of my life is done
    No point clinging on to anyone.
    Now all that's left is the profanity
    Let's end it while we have our sanity. (’ty, ’ty, ’ty...).
    [SYNTH SOLO TO FADE]

  • Reach Into My Life (2026 Arrangement)
    Music & lyric by Ian Jeffrey King.
    [Verse 1]
    I have stood alone for so much time
    I feel it safer just to stay
    But I really want so much to hold you
    That it's pulling me away
    All I need is you
    You can pull me through
    Reach into my life tonight
    [Chorus]
    Let me bathe in your light
    Let me be on your side
    Let me live in your world
    Let me sleep in your nights.
    [Verse 2]
    I am just a girl who spends her time
    By throwing pennies down a well
    Feeling like some silly little schoolgirl
    just waiting for the bell.
    You could be the light
    You could put me right
    Reach into my life tonight
    [Repeat Chorus]
    [ACOUSTIC GUITAR SOLO]
    You could be the light
    You could put me right
    Reach into my life tonight
    [Repeat Chorus]

  • For He Alone (2026 Arrangement)
    Music & lyric by Ian Jeffrey King.
    [Verse 1]
    People think I'm crazy
    But it's nothing they can prove
    I'm just a back seat driver
    Who's impossible to move
    I'm a born outsider
    It'll say so on my grave
    A one-time fallen angel
    Just out to misbehave
    [Chorus]
    For he alone can see
    The innocence in me
    That's all I really need to know
    For he alone can find
    The virtue in my mind
    That's all I really need to know
    [Verse 2]
    I'm not a good companion
    I'm more a part-time friend
    Who'll be fighting for survival
    Until the bitter end
    Your plans to watch me crumble
    Are fading by the hour
    I hide my imperfections
    Deep inside my tower
    [Repeat Chorus]
    [Bridge]
    I don't care what you say
    I'll just walk away
    I'll just walk back home to him
    [Repeat Chorus]

  • I Don't Need Saving (2026 Arrangement)
    Music & lyric by Ian Jeffrey King.
    [VERSE 1]
    Here I am, a hero in the pipeline
    Living out my dreams,
    Laying out my schemes.
    Out of luck, living on intentions.
    Your used-to-be best friend
    Is getting near the end.
    [CHORUS]
    Just leave me here
    'Cause I don't need saving,
    I can find my way ashore.
    Don't use that line, 'cause I'm feeling fine.
    I've been out this far before
    [VERSE 2]
    Anyone want to hear a pipe dream,
    Everyone's so sure,
    They've heard them all before.
    All hands are full, keeping worlds a-turning.
    Time they paid their dues,
    What have they to lose?
    [REPEAT CHORUS]
    [VERSE 3]
    Hey you there, living in the real world
    What's so great out there
    What you got to share?
    Things are cool in my echo chamber
    Nothing here to feel
    When nothing here is real
    [REPEAT CHORUS]

  • Someone Like You (Pop Version) (2026 Arrangement)
    A pop arrangement of my song, "Someone Like You"
    Music & lyric by Ian Jeffrey King.
    [VERSE 1]
    How could I fall for someone like you.
    I don’t have the willpower to see it through.
    I need to take the time to feel the pain.
    Stay here in my shelter, or be lost again.
    [CHORUS]
    You’re out there living on the edge,
    But soon the tide is gonna spin.
    It’s second nature to you now,
    Like breathing out and breathing in.
    It’s bound to catch you in the end,
    When you’re addicted to the damned
    To many trips will grind you down
    You can’t outrun a fated hand.
    [VERSE 2]
    It’s out of my hands now, the side that’s wild
    You’re crashing to earth now, no more a child.
    So help yourself this time and stop the pain.
    It's time to surrender and live again.
    [REPEAT CHORUS]
    [OUTRO]
    How could I fall for someone like you.
