  • Someone Like You (Folk Version) (2026 Arrangement)
    A folk 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.

  • Lament (2026 Arrangement)
    Music & Lyric by Ian Jeffrey King.
    I can feel the sun
    There where shadows run
    I can hear all the life below me
    I can touch all the clouds above.
    I will soon be home
    Where my soul can roam
    I'll be there watching from the hillside
    Looking down on the misty glens.
    CHORUS
    Take me to my homeland
    Where my heart still remains
    Rest me in my homeland.
    Hold me there. Hold me there.
    GUITAR SOLO I
    I can see my friends
    Now the mournful ends
    I can sense all the past around me
    I can touch all the eagles wings.
    REPEAT CHORUS
    GUITAR SOLO II
    I can feel the sun
    There where shadows run
    I can hear all the life below me
    I can touch all the clouds above.

  • Fast Waters (2026 Arrangement)
    Music & lyric by IanJeffrey King.
    [Verse 1]
    A boy I loved was strong and true
    He asked me to marry, to marry him
    Our two hearts, they beat as one
    So that June, I married, I married him
    [Verse 2]
    We would go walking down by the stream
    Talking about all of our plans
    We were so happy, loving so true
    Nothing could keep me away from him
    [Verse 3]
    He said he'd give his life for me
    He said he'd give his life for me
    Our two hearts, they were entwined
    We lived a year as married, as married
    [Verse 4]
    We went out walking after the rain
    The water, it swept me away
    It held me under, then I felt his hand
    Fast waters did take him away from me
    [Verse 5]
    A child we made is strong and true
    He is soon to marry, to marry
    He didn't ever touch his hand
    Five months alone, I carried, I carried him
    [Verse 6]
    Stories are spoken and brave words are told
    Of love that was swept far away
    A young boy who kissed me still clings to my heart
    Fast waters can't take him away from me

  • Some Days (2026 Arrangement)
    Music & lyric by Ian Jeffrey King.
    I still laugh, but my lungs aren’t burning
    I still dance, but my heels aren’t turning
    It’s just not the same, something good has gone
    I just miss the silver lining of your song
    You don’t cast a shadow now
    It's just I miss you some days.
    If truth be told, I still miss your laughter
    It echoes here in the ever after.
    I still have my friends and they still have me
    But there are times I feel I'm drowning in the sea
    I’m still glad I walked away
    It's just I miss you some days.
    CHORUS
    Will I get over you, or am I here for ever
    With this old candle in my hand.
    Will it get thrown away and I'll move somewhere better.
    Or will I wish a few more days away.
    Best I left, before an indiscretion
    Part as friends before the first confession
    We had what we had, and we had it all
    But there are times you should anticipate the fall
    Time to kiss and walk away
    And just remember some days.
    GUITAR SOLO
    You don’t cast a shadow now
    It's just I miss you some days.
    REPEAT CHORUS
    REPEAT VERSE 1

  • Half Way Up (2026 Arrangement)
    Music & lyric by Ian Jeffrey King.
    I'm up here climbing, but I can't get more than half way up
    I'm really trying but they're lying that I'm in the club.
    I'm told I'm wanted by the faces up there
    But I don't see a guarantee
    They talk the talk but they can't walk the walk like me.
    I see the dealing through the ceiling and it makes them mad
    I'm either falling for their stalling or I'm being had.
    They watch me trying but they know it's hopeless
    Should I believe in what they say
    I don't think I can even get a grip today.
    CHORUS
    When I get to the top I am gonna be dancing
    When I'm up on the tiles, I'll be out on the floor
    When I kick off my heels I can watch the reaction
    When I reach the apogee, then I'll be me.
    I'm not complaining, but I'm straining for another go
    One day I'll get there and I'll sit there and just watch them blow.
    I'm not invited to their garden parties
    I'm not a member of the crew
    I'm not like them, but I still have ambition too.
    REPEAT CHORUS

  • Always Say Grace (2026 Arrangement)
    Music & lyric by Ian Jeffrey King.
    I once lost it all
    I faced the void, my back against the wall
    I threw it away
    I was so sure I'd get it back one day.
    Would you stand there in the shoes
    Of one with nothing left to lose?
    Now I always say grace, Now I always say grace
    It reminds me of a better time
    When a friend was there who stood the line
    Life’s not a race, steady the pace and always say grace.
    They gave me the cure
    It took a friend to look into the core
    It turned me around
    They made me see a world that could be found.
    There's no future there to heal
    If you lashed against the wheel.
    Now I always say grace, Now I always say grace
    Now I’m thankful for the little things
    Now I'm grateful for the good life brings
    Life’s not a race, steady the pace and always say grace.

  • Plans For The Future (2026 Arrangement)
    Music & Lyric by Ian Jeffrey King.
    [Verse 1]
    Peter's a boss in the making, he'll be there, running the show,
    For now he's biding his time towing the line,
    Fighting the urge to say no.
    Mornings are spent at the car wash, polishing up on his dream,
    He sees all the guys living their lives
    To Peter they're not what they seem.
    [Chorus 1]
    Peter's got plans for the future he just isn't sure what they are,
    All he knows is someday he's gonna be a star.
    [Bridge]
    He knows he wasn't born to fail, he was born for a better life than this,
    Just give the guy a shot and he can't miss.
    [Verse 2]
    At three he starts at the Carnival
    Handing out coloured balloons,
    From four 'till five he has to drive the Space Ride to the Moon.
    Peter's whole life is before him, nothing can stand in his way,
    So when Peter's about, you'd better watch out,
    Cause you know that he's not gonna stay.
    [Repeat Chorus 1]
    [Guitar Solo]
    [Verse 3]
    The evening sees Pete as a stagehand
    He works in a show by the pier,
    The money's okay and the boss says he may make him a stand-in next year.
    He works all the hours God sends him
    Our Peter is one of a kind,
    So next time you think, you're nearing the brink,
    Just you bear Peter in mind.
    [Chorus 2]
    He works certain nights as a cleaner. sweeping the factory floor,
    To pay the bills that keep the debt collector from his door.
    [Bridge]
    But he knows there will come a day
    When he can't keep the sharks at bay
    And then they'll tow his dreams away
    [Guitar Solo]
