  • Before I sleep © 2021
    I leave the bathroom, close the door
    walk slowly down the creaking hall
    the silence breaks amid the chimes
    these are the loneliest times
    The broken shutter needs repair
    just seems no point cos you’re not there
    I might get round to it one day
    its just too soon to say
    before I sleep, I call your name
    I just need something.. to feel the same
    The nights are long and longer still
    sometimes I barely have the will
    to face another day like this
    oh how I miss your kiss
    before I sleep I think of you
    and all the things we used to do
    before I sleep, I call your name
    I just need something.. to feel the same

  • Hollywood scene © 2021
    This Town’s abandoned and neglected
    cola cans glisten on the streets
    a deserted taxi station in the rain
    has missin’ doors and broken window panes
    lonely howlin’ dogs of the alleys
    plastic food bags empty from their search
    swingin’ shop signs play like violins
    to an audience of plastic mannequins
    Out of date hollywood scene
    Is that how your life has been?
    Is that how your life has been?
    As neon lights flicker through the haze
    cardboard boxes travel with the wind
    Shadows make you feel you’re not alone
    a phone booth waves with a hangin’ phone
    Out of date hollywood scene
    Is that how your life has been?
    Is that how your life has been?
    Your clothes weigh heavy soaked with rain
    and lengths of gutter swing on just a nail
    A traffic light changes red to green
    but there’s no traffic... to be seen
    Out of date hollywood scene
    Is that how your life has been?
    Is that how your life has been?

  • Believe me (2021 version) © 2017
    What do you do in those dark places
    that you roam... when you leave yourself
    Do you still stumble when you look in the mirror
    to find that its somebody else
    and when I lift your head up and see the tears that fall, I'll say...
    Believe me, nothin' stays the same there's always
    somethin' else...somethin' else beyond the pain
    believe me, when your soul is on the floor you'll find
    a way... but maybe not today
    How do you live when the blackest shadow
    casts fear..... across your face
    and how do I give when my tender moments
    don't find a warm embrace
    and when I lift your head up and see the tears that fall, I'll say...
    Believe me, nothin' stays the same there's always
    somethin' else...somethin' else beyond the pain
    believe me, when your soul is on the floor you'll find
    a way... just maybe not today

  • Different © 2021
    You were so different
    to everybody else
    they never got you
    they never got you
    They didn’t laugh
    never got your jokes
    they talked about you
    but never to you
    Maybe someday
    when love is stronger
    there’ll be enough to go around
    no one will be in the lost and found
    Maybe somehow
    no one will feel lonely
    they’ll be included with the crowd
    yes included, not put down
    You left a letter
    with desperate words
    now they can see you
    now they can feel you
    Maybe someday
    when love is stronger
    there’ll be enough to go around
    no one will be in the lost and found
    Maybe somehow
    no one will feel lonely
    they’ll be included with the crowd
    yes included, not put down

  • Gutter child © 2021
    Gutter child you’ll be alone tonight
    Gutter child you’ll be alone tonight
    your daddy's out drinkin’
    your momma's close to breakin’ down
    Kickin’ stones across the street
    with your dirty clothes and your dirty feet
    Pram wheels and rusty nails
    go carts with imagined vapour trails
    cold soup on a rainy day
    gutter child will always find a way
    Gutter child you’ll be alone tonight
    Gutter child you’ll be alone tonight
    gladiator with a trash can lid
    lemonade for your red hot face to swig
    Chief pow wow what’s his name
    play pretend to stop you goin’ insane
    Pram wheels and rusty nails
    go carts with imagined vapour trails
    cold soup on a rainy day
    gutter child will always find a way
    Gutter child you’ll be alone tonight
    Gutter child you’ll be alone tonight
    your playground is the dirt
    and it helps to cover all the hurt
    On an old torn feather bed
    sleep and dream of better times ahead
    Pram wheels and rusty nails
    go carts with imagined vapour trails
    cold soup on a rainy day
    gutter child will always find a way
    oh yes he will
    always find a way

  • There's a room in my house © 2021
    A song to describe in part CPTSD. (Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)
    There’s a room in my house
    but I don’t have a key
    supposed to contain a part of me
    How can I be
    what I'm supposed to be
    when there’s a room in my house
    but I don't have a key
    there’s a sign on the door
    as I hold back the tears
    It simply reads
    my formative years
    My foundation, beginning
    my basis for trust
    my reason for living
    Is now full of dust
    Must be mold on the walls
    and the curtains be torn
    a time of neglect
    at the time I was born
    yes its strange that this room
    means so much to me
    can I understand ?
    if I don’t have a key
    who would have thought
    now the boy is a man
    that those formative years
    were a part of the plan
    I spend my life searching
    and hoping to see
    what it is that is missing
    inside of me
    There’s a room in my house
    but I don’t have a key
    supposed to contain a part of me

  • My Mirror © 2021
    This old mirror gets me down
    whenever our faces meet
    I see a clown
    and this old mirror cannot speak
    but when people think I’m strong
    It shows I’m weak,
    reflections of my youth simply fade away
    as my mirror tells the truth every day
    This old mirror’ it defines
    with age comes character
    which means more lines
    and this old mirror doesn’t hide
    those little laughter lines
    or the tears I’ve cried
    reflections of my youth simply fade away
    as my mirror tells the truth every day
    reflections of my youth when I had style
    please forgive me if I don’t visit you for a while

  • Ain't perfect © 2021
    There’s just one thing that I ask of you
    please don’t judge everything I say and do
    you don’t know, what I’ve been through
    I ain’t perfect, but neither are you
    There are parts of me snatched away with time
    and there’s an emptiness that it leaves behind
    No you don’t know what I’ve been through
    I ain’t perfect but neither are you
    If I ain’t right now what you want me to be
    I just need a little time to rediscover me
    but I love you I do
    I love you yes I do
    but I ain’t perfect, and neither are you
    I ain’t perfect, and neither are you

  • On Days like these © 2021
    My dads old truck now there's a thing
    he used to start it with a piece of string
    on days like these
    Skippin' on the concrete slabs
    tryin' hard to miss the cracks
    on days like these
    On days like these
    Sunny days like these
    for a while I lift the lid
    and I am just a kid
    on days like these
    Tadpoles in a water jar
    wait all day to see a car
    on days like these
    scrumpin' apples from the trees
    comin' home with dirty knees
    on days like these
    On days like these
    Sunny days like these
    for a while I lift the lid
    and I am just a kid
    on days like these
    Where did the time go?
    I just don't know
    Boillin' kettles on the gas
    fillin' up the old tin bath
    on days like these
    lyin' on the hot tin roof
    of that old Bedford in my youth
    on days like these
    On days like these
    Sunny days like these
    for a while I lift the lid
    and I am just a kid
    on days like these
    for a while I lift the lid
    and I am just a kid
    on days like these
