Lyric writing, making music and the creative process
The sand is golden and crisp
Seats along the white wall
We don’t understand love
We don’t understand how the mind works
We don’t understand the soul
We don’t care enough for each other`
Well never mind
Across the world
You can’t say that
Or let it kick in
It’s just not a good thing
Love is all
Love is everywhere and nowhere at the same time
We have heaven on earth
Lets get it back
Before it’s too late

Your playing games again
Acting like you’re my friend
Your hiding behind your hands
Afraid to look at me
Now what is wrong
Without you for far too long
So why won’t you let me help you
It’s my turn to be strong
History is in the past
Why not make this moment last
Meet me at a quarter past
The future is moving fast
It’s all in my mind
How we were and what we did
I’ll bring you back down to earth
In a blink of an eye lid
Don’t you look at me
You might not like what you see
It’s my turn
To be strong
Without you
For far too long
Won’t you let me help you
It’s my turn to be strong

I’m lost in Paris
But it’s by design
I had to lose myself
Nowhere better to unwind
You were giving me a hard time
Saying I wasn’t good enough
Telling all our friends
Yeah you know he’s acting up
So I just took a train
Early in the morning
Released me from your refrain
Left you there without warning
All the papers on my back
Felt like I just can’t relax
In Paris you know I can hide
I’m just another simple guy
So I’m lost in Paris
It’s by design
I’m lost in Paris
Feels just fine
I’m lost in Paris

I’m banking on you
You’re there for me
I’m thankful that’s true
You’ve set my heart free
It’s a rollercoaster
It’s a merry go round
You listened when I told ya
I’m up and I’m down
Can’t get my feet on solid ground
Show me something
Set me free
A new intervention
An angel so heavenly
Hey there honey
How are you so gone
Our love is ever changing
Each time we’re turned on
Hey did I mention
I think you’re for real
I’m not stuck at the station
Eating ice cream
It’s a sad situation
The small things we miss
When we’re saying goodbye
The parting the kiss

The drugs do work
They work so well
They’ve given me time
Escape a living hell
Before I was lost
With them I am found
Now I’m not chained
Shadowed by the darkest sound
It took me six weeks
Thirty three years
Now I belong
Feel I belong here
The drugs work work too well
I need you more than I do them
They’re my crutch my chemical nurse
Am I really living she’s a blessing and a curse
So talk to me help me see
If I’m free I can feel
Emotional rescue
Emotional rescue
Disconnected thoughts infected
The brotherhood brings you home
Love rejected heart dissected
Train tracks you’re alone

I just need a line
To get me started
Say something sweet
I’m feeling down market
There are days like this
Where I’m a lost soul
I need some sort of bliss
Someone to hold
You could be the one
To put the shine in my sun
Be the spark to make my motor run
The bullets for my gun
Yes you could be the one
London town in December
Is dull and dark and cold as ice
I’ve been down since September
When you left not once but twice
I thought you’d come back to try again
You only wanted your record deck
You said we would always remain friends
Now this is where our friendship ends
And I’m sitting here
In our favourite chair
All I can remember
Is you used to sing a little prayer to me

He’s voracious
Like the vulture
Pulling on the carcass
Slapping women’s arses
Got all the answers
For the pole dancers
It’s handed on a plate
Don’t make him wait
He’s the king of his own state
Every woman can be replaced
Miss Og Ony
So blind
He can’t see
He can lust
Can’t touch
Miss Og Ony

You left too soon
Just as we were learning all about you
You were so cool
You stopped in time to let your heart renew
You were a character
Who ruled your world
With an open mind
And a lip that curled
Smashed it up
With respect and peace
You’d dissappear and lose yourself
Down by the Seine on lonely street
We need a King
Like never before
Need a ring a ding ting
To settle the score
Wherever you are
Stay free and stay safe
Take a good direction
Stay in the race

Meets friends on Mondays
The middle of each month
Talk about what’s happening
Have a liquid lunch
Who is seeing who
Where it all went wrong
Why is life so difficult
It’s like the saddest song
The winter skies
Could make you cry
The summer sun is warm
She could fall in deep again
Let her heart be torn
The waiter makes her laugh
A joke about his friend
A glass a dash of red to taste
This day might not end
Wake up in another haze
Not knowing what to do
Leave a note beside the bed
See you in a month or two

Take the heat
From the day
Underneath
Plane trees in the shade
You are what you eat
They say
Drinking wine
Friendships made
French girls know
How to Oh La La
Make you forget
Who you are
The way she holds
A cigarette
Would cause the gods
To get upset
In azure sea
On golden sand
St. Raphael Sur Mer
She might hold your hand
On the merry go round
Playing roulette
One things for sure
You can’t forget
Ice cream crepes
Cool and hot
You think you have her
Until you’ve not
Black and white movie
Down at Cannes
The red carpet dress
I was her man
