TICK TOCK ROCK

HEAVEN SENT

This is a song I wrote after seeing an old friend that I've known for ever and "never" the reason I say that is due to us becoming now almost strangers after living in each others pockets for a life time, as they say familiarity breeds contempt as I get older I do begin to observe this in older companions.

This is a song I wrote about the short but violent life of the gangster, racketeer and business man called "big Al Capone" who ruled the American Prohibition era boot-legging booze , brothel's and bars.

He came out of the notorious Five Points slum district described as the "Hell’s Kitchen" of New York; the last bastion of Beelzebub.

 He basically murdered his way to the top , A six feet piece of terror and testosterone.

who ended dying of neurosyphilis with mental age of twelve ; he spent all his time writing songs in Alcatraz with a quintet called the "Rock Islanders" a banjo jazz band who played for the jail birds on Sundays.

This is a ditty I wrote about the boy from Brixton "Bowie". The chameleon of creativity, the style Tycoon who pushed convention over a cliff ;My mother and father hated him and used to call him a looney toon with a head full of cartoons hence the chorus. But his iconic innovation shaped the world of pop, and that’s why I loved him then and now , even when interviewed you can see he was enjoying himself, he loved to lampoon, he once admitted that lying was a hobby a self mythicalisation to fool the press he was a genius

This is a song I wrote after reading about the ravens in the Tower of London. 

Long ago, they were the city’s street cleaning squad as they are now. The Tower’s executions were, to them, a rare treat of meat.

Now they're a tourist greet, their bellies packed with blood biscuits rabbit. Pampered, praised, and plump, they are awarded military rank and are subject to the same strict code as soldiers, with some court martialed and dishonourably discharged for bad behaviour.

This is a song I wrote about a crazy preacher man I lived with for ten years , he's a fire and brimstone man of god from Glasgow who studied at Scots college Rome , The Vatican. The firebrand once Babtised me in an ice cold glacial river in the high Alpine maritime of France , stating "I'll wash the Fxxxxxx sin from your worthless soul; looking back from the deep water at his husky dog blue eyes and the clear blue sky I thought I was going to die !!.

After he'd given me his devine water boarding in the freezing fjord I certainly felt cleansed of conscience and less conceited.

Marianne Faithfull was the glam goddess who rose to fame in the sixties as a singing sexual superstar. Known for her rebellious lifestyle, she lived with Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones at the height of their fame.

Her story is one of a dramatic fall from a celestial ceiling into decades of addiction and life on the streets. After years in the drug dungeon of hell, she eventually quit heroin and made a remarkable comeback.

Not bad for a Catholic girl educated by nuns, born to an aristocratic mother and a strict, disciplinarian father a major. I've called her the fallen angel because she was so angelic shaped by devout Catholic schooling, only then to descend into a dark satanic street life before resurrecting from the dead like a Lady of Lazarus.

This is a song I wrote after seeing my fourteen year old goddaughter watching The Walking Dead, totally immune to the violent killings.

In the USA, by the age of eighteen, children have seen some ten thousand murders and two hundred thousand acts of gratuitous violence to the point where fact and fiction become one in a cranium crossover; Now the world is now looking into the links between violence on TV and columbine copy kat killers come death worshipping kids who seem brainwashed by blood lust.

This is a song I wrote about Madonna who has been entertaining us for fifty years non stop reinventing herself over and over she was the jump board for lady Gaga Milly Cyrus and all modern day rock chicks bravissimo girl !!.

This is a song I wrote about watching and listening to the multimedia T V and radio news , its doomsday message will make you blow a fuse or turn you to the booze, for New Year it's something I'm gonna have to loose in order to combat the blues.

FEMME FATALE

A song I wrote for an ex girlfriend first in acapella then with instrumental accompaniment, it's about the sirens swan song that you hear just before your love boat runs aground and you scent the sulphur this being the final pheromone you smell as you slowly begin to drowned
