here you will find lyrics of various songs I've written, and some poetry.

This must be love

Met you in the “Crown” in town on my night out  you looked like Just another stupid brute

Andy went on about this club I’d had enough of beer and pub so we all drove down to Bristol in his car

 The sound was great, the people too, we danced and popped a pill or two,

we messed around and I thought you were really cute

Your sweaty face so close to me, your eyes that shone in ecstasy,

morning couldn’t find us ‘cause we were gone too far

But now I’ve sobered up This feeling just won’t stop

 I think this must be love.

 We walked back home for fifteen miles  we talked and found we had a lot in common

 I’d planned to stay alone a while you tossed that idea with your smile for good

And now you got me in your grip, when you hold me by my hips

you know I want you

You make me swing, you make me sing  you’re the sweetest guy I’ve ever seen I love you

This bubble just won’t pop This feeling just won’t stop

 I think this must be love

 Thought Process

 How come some people plan light-years ahead

Whereas I have got only fluff in my head

 If I look to the future my mind goes all blank

And I realize I’m a total plank

If I think of something it usually appears

In a whirly pattern between my eyes and my ears

 I then happily close my eyes and jump

From island to island that turns up in the swamp

 This thing they call thinking has got me all sinking

The one thing I know is I’m a plank

If you ask me “what did he say to you”

I’m afraid I have to answer, “I wish I knew”

I would certainly know if he was happy or not

But the actual words I most certainly forgot

 I never know or care happens the next day

 Cause I’m too absentminded and carried away

 I wouldn’t even know why they try and leave the globe

I wonder if it helped if I stopped smoking dope

 This thing they call thinking has got me all sinking

The one thing I know is I’m a plank

I got a lovely picture drawn by a friend

 With me at the beginning and my goal at the end

There are 58 swirls with different choices in-between

 Now I know why I’m not so keen

But somehow I manage to pull it all off

 This is pure trust in God or some other moth

 I fly through space with my head up my behind

While something keeps on pushing, friendly and kind

This thing they call thinking has got me all sinking

The one thing I know is I’m a plank

 Jasmine 

(you can listen to this song here)

Like Jasmine in winter

You rebel against the cold

 Like a crystal keeps his sparkle

You’ll be never getting old

There’s a fire burning inside you

And no one can put it out

It’s the power of a woman that will

Break glass when she shouts

So you go on and you stand up

And you never cease to fight

Yes you’re fragile and you’re tender

But you made it through the night

No one can take it away

It’s all within you

No one can lead you astray

And it’s all out there for you

There’s a nagging sense of madness

 As you stumble through the storm

Have I not been here before

 You’re murmuring forlorn

But you have seen the sunlight

It is etched inside your mind

 You’ve seen it once been part of it

You’re one of its kind

 Have you been blessed unknowingly

 Or have you just failed to fall

Or have you ceased to take your part

In the torrents of His call

 No one can take it away

 It’s all within you

No one can lead you astray

And it’s all out there for you

 Like a phoenix from the ashes

 Have you risen once again

With no one to turn to

Have you spiralled up again

There’s a fire burning inside you

And no one can put it out

It’s the power of a woman that will

Break glass when she shouts

Yet it comes from deep within you

It its deeper than the sea

 And you don’t even know where

The sources are to be

 No one can take it away

It’s all within you

 No one can lead you astray

And it’s all out there for you.

My  Dream

Here is my dream: that once I will

Discover quiet land.

 That I shall go and be in peace

My life at my command

 That I not rule, nor serve

And get what I deserve

 That I not rule, nor serve

And get what I deserve

That I can do what I like doing

That I can woo whom I like wooing

That those who like me do so for

What they found behind my door

My mind, my dreams, my deeds

My heart, my life, my needs

My mind, my dreams, my deeds

 My heart, my life, my needs

Here’s my wish: that I Once go

and reach the sky

Forget what’s on my mind

And leave it all behind

Forget what’s on my mind 

And leave it all behind

 Eagle in the Snow

(you can listen to this song here)

Would the earth stand still

 Would there be thunderclouds upon the hills

You’d be the island in a storm, forever there, forever strong

If the mountains walked

 And if the sun would rise far in the north

You’d be my compass through the night a shining star my last delight

Oh how can I say that I love you today even more than I loved you last night

I never thought it could be so good I never thought I’d rise

 I used to think that love never ever hits twice

 I’m breaking free from my confusion now I found it’s true

I’m breaking free from the illusion that I don’t belong to you

I’ll be always there I hope I’ll prove to you how much I care

 I’ll be your comfort in the dark I’ll warm your heart yeah I’ll be there

 If you head hung low I’d paint a flying eagle in the snow

I’d pull a face and run away we’d have a race I’d be too slow

Oh how can I say that I love you today even more than I loved you last night

Faster Jet

Could there be anyone more different to me

And yet there’s so much that we share you and me

What attracts me to you is what I can’t be

Although some things about you I can’t stand you see

You’re fire I’m water you’re black and I’m white

And I dare say you’re peaceful but I like to fight

It’s a steamy combination but you were quite right

When you said we’d be flying tonight (we’d be flying tonight)

Yeah it feels so good

To be close to you

Heaven knows it’s true

I can’t let go of you

 Don’t know if something like this lasts forever

 I know we’re not supposed to be together

Your chick and my bloke they don’t know it yet

But we’ve got ourselves on a faster jet faster jet faster jet

Yeah it feels so good

 To be close to you

Heaven knows it’s true

I won’t let go of you

You’re a sweet demon honey

and I’ve got to admit

 That I love the weirdness and the danger in it

And maybe someday we can work it out

yeah maybe someday we can work it out work it out work it out…

Perfect Peace

 I haven’t found my perfect peace

 Been looking for it  North, West and East.

Way down south my heart lies buried

I have a hunch that  I might have hurried

For once you found your perfect love

 Hold onto it cause It might not last

 Don’t try and fight when times are hard

Believe in each other

This is an art.

Magic

They say

It’s better to have loved and lost

Than not To have loved at all

Well now That I’ve gone through with it

I can’t agree with that at all

I never knew when I said yes

That I was gonna stay behind

To pursue my lonely quest

You’re always on my mind

You’re always on my mind

They say That two Halves make a Whole

 Well we Were whole to begin with

 What does that make us?

I don’t know

But somehow it was magic

And then you left 

And my whole heart exploded

 Been picking up pieces

Ever since

 Will there be ever

Another being

Who could love me

Like you loved me

They say 

The candle that burns twice as bright

Burns twice as fast as well

I’d say you die you go to heaven

But if you live you go to hell

 I had this dream

That I was flying

I feel so light I breathe in I lift off And I’m floating high

And in this dream

 The sun is shining

There's a light that’s so bright and so warm that it burns the sky

You or Me

And I thought that I could handle it but I can't handle it no more

You better get yourself and your money

And you walk right out that door

I believed in what I did but I don't believe no more

My psyche's in a mess

And my brain's getting sore

Now its got to be you or me for my sanity

 Now it's got to be be you or me for the sake of me

And if it's got to be you or me 

I'll quite happily choose me

How can stupid cows like me

Think What a guy Just because he talks a lot

 And his testosterone levels are high

Christ I want a new man

A skint man a fly

As long as he is gentle

And he doesn't make me cry

I want a man that's warm and tender

Who has everything you've not

Patience and commitment and who

Doesn't care a lot

About the size of his penis

Or cheap chicks out on the street

I want a man with bright spirit

Not a lying cheat 

Now it's got to be you or me for my sanity

 Now it's got to be you or me

For the sake of me

And if it's got to be you or me

I'll quite happily choose me

 In the Fields

 Sunshine The other morning

Sunshine The wind is blowing in the fields

 I can see

Blue Skies softly brightening

 Morning clouds trying to hide the rain...

Soon there'll be rain

Wish I was standing near you

Wish I had not to fear you

In the fields

We used to play

Hide ourselves in the meadows

With the Gods surrounding our love

Soon there'll be pain

So full of love

Full of hatred

 Here I am standing alone

In the fields

 it's raining drops of blood and

I can't find my coat to shield me from the rain

 From the rain

The Holy Grail

 Outside it's dark but inside is fire

Let me fulfill your sweetest desire

Take from my hands

The holy Grail

We belong to an ancient people

You are a knight of fire and light

I am your lady of the lilies

Flowers of time grow from my heart

Inside of something

That keeps us alive

Twilight surrounds the island of silence

Strong is our love

And deep as the Sea

We've come to look at a world of violence

There ain't much we aren't going through

But I feel the peace of the Holy Grail

For I know that I love you and

For I know That you love me

Travelling Ghost

 Your definition of freedom

Is do as you please

Your definition of justice

 Puts your mind at ease

Your definition of duty

is catching dust on the shelf

Don't you want to sit back

And think about yourself

You talk about anarchy and how it sets you free

But it ripped the chord between you and me

I'm doing life sentence cause I got caught

And you're on the run

Cause you're a fraud

You're losing your children to those you hate the most

Those who feed them

While you're a travelling ghost

You watched your dad do what your grandad did before

Don't you see that history is knocking on your door

I'm working day and night to make ends meet

I try to stand my children on their feet

they need a mother but they need a father too

If you don't want to be there another man will do

 Over You

 Took me three years to realize you're not here anymore

 Night after night I imagined I heard your key in the door

 Every day I'd run to the phone cause I hoped it was you

I read between the lines of your messages when they came through

You always seemed to write I still love you

I know I should have faced the situation

I know it would have cured my infatuation

But I guess I had been dealing with quite enough at the time

 How yould you be so gentle with her heart

when you were so hurtful with mine

 I don't think I ever understood you

 I dont think I ever understood

 I forgot you're the realist and I'm the hopeless dreamer

But I woke up one day and I felt so much cleaner

I suppose I must have forgiven you in my sleep

 I suppose staying honest is the only promise you can keep

I have done alright I carry on I live my life without you

 And now I feel so happy I feel so happy where I used to be so blue

Well babe I'm over you

 Well now I'm just glad you found someone who suits you

I think there's no blame for her, just you and me

I've made up my mind cause I used to be kind and thats what I wanna be

I know it took quite long but my love was so strong that I didn't wanna let you be

 I don't think you ever understood me

 I don't think you ever understood

I forgot you're the realist and I'm the hopeless dreamer

 But I woke up one day and I felt so much cleaner

I suppose I must have forgiven you in my sleep

I suppose staying honest is the only promise you can keep

I have done allright I carry on I live my life without you

 And now I feel so happy I feel so happy where I used to be so blue

Well babe I'm over you

I'm over you

You don't make me feel like you used to do

All these nights when I lay awake and

I found no sleep

And I cried because of you

Well babe I'm over you

I'm over you

 you don't make me feel like you used to do

 All these nights when I dreamed about you

and I fought about you

 and I hurt because of you

Well now I'm over you

A Lot of Living

Just a little friendly advice for you along the way

I know you're feeling glum and this is what I've got to say

Hope you understand that I'm not trying to belittle your feelings

But people are getting hurt everyday

It's part of the parcel you load up when you're born

And everyone will sometimes feel disappointed and torn

But time's moving on

Next morning there'll be another dawn

One Two Three turn the seventh key when she knocks on your door

Four Five Six don't fall for tricks don't let her fool you anymore

Ooh baby there's a lot of living to be done

You can't just sit there wilting like a salad in the sun

 I have seen you walking around

with your eyes on the ground

baby don't feel blue

There's always someone new

Don't just stick your head in the sand

There's always little old me

I'm still your friend let me lend you a hand

One Two Three turn the seventh key when she knocks on your door

 Four Five Six don't fall for tricks don't let her fool you anymore

 Ooh baby there's a lot of living to be done

You can't just sit there wilting like a salad in the sun

Hole in the Sky

 Mummy why is there  a hole in the sky

Honey I can't tell you I don't know why

Mummy why is there  a hole in the sky

Honey I can't tell you I don't know why there's a hole in the sky

 I just know it didn'T use to be there

When I was a kid nobody cared or knew about these things

Well be as it may, the Sky has ever since then worn away

Mummy why is there  a hole in the sky

Honey I can't tell you I don't know why

Mummy why is there  a hole in the sky

Honey I can't tell you I don't know why there's a hole in the sky

Maybe there ain't enough souls to fill the sky 

 Mummy why is there  a hole in the sky

Honey I can't tell you I don't know why

Mummy can you imagine why

Maybe there ain't enough souls to fill the sky

 When I was a young one we played in the sun

 We were always outside and we had lots of fun

The sun didn't fry holes in your skin

If anything it tickled yur chin

Mummy why is there  a hole a hole in the sky

 When I was a young one we played in the sun

We were always outside and we had lots of fun

 The sun didn't fry holes in your skin

If anything it tickled yur chin

 Mummy why is there  a hole in the sky

Honey I can't tell you I don't know why

Mummy can you imagine why

Maybe there ain't enough souls to fill the sky

Dark

 I want you by my side

Here where I can't see

 I want to breathe you in

And feel this sweet sensation

Fall into your eyes

And don't wake up again

Come join me in my bubble

It's warm in here and I don't wanna know...

I can see you in the Dark...

Feed me with your smile

 I will not let you down

In the Dark I shine

And here I will not stumble

Reach out with your hands

Until you find me

Come join me in my bubble

 It's cold out there and I don't wanna be out there at all...

I can see you in the Dark...

Coming Home

Well I got stranded on this island

 Million miles away from home

 I got washed up on these shores

and tried to call this place my home

And I've tried so hard to love you

And to see where you're coming from

But I might aswell have kissed a wall of stone

Finally I've packed my bags I'm going home

 Finally I'm coming round, I'm going home

Finally I know this nightmare's far and gone

I'll be Coming Home

 All the greed and the swearing and the bitching about your mates

I used to be a peaceful hippie but from you I learned to hate

All the arrogance and violence All that talking down your nose

 All that what you say was german i've experienced with my host

 And I tried so hard to love you and to see where you're coming from

but I might aswell have never come along

 Finally I've packed my bags I'm going home

Finally I'm coming round, I'm going home

 Finally I know this nightmare's far and gone

I'll be Coming Home

 Worlds Apart

 Haven't seen you round

 I wonder what you're up to as I'm walking down the street

 Have you spent a thought

On the mess you left me in

 Can't find no sleep

Well you can go - party -

stuff your head right up with bullshit

have your cake and eat it

But you will never dance with me again

 It's gonna crack me up

I'm trying to take it easy

 I should have never gone this far

I should have seen you for what you are

 So hard

We're worlds apart
