about

Written after a series of knock backs and no through roads
Writing and performing this brought positivity!
Part of the next album 2024

lyrics

Hate to be the bearer of bad news
Your resume was barely viewed
Your album got no views
And bad reviews
Fair dos
melodic airs were misconstrued
Jeered and booed
Critics severely rude
Clearly crude
Teary eyed and bruised
Sinking ship cruised
The path you choose
Is fraught with shattered blues
Scattered clues
Of a battered muse
Old worn out shoes
No light blown out fuse
Guess I get what’s due
Don’t wake slept on through
Don’t wait must be true
Must be me, can’t be you
Trust in fate just make do
Frail ends meet in two
Heart bleating rams and ewes
Beating tam tams in zoos
Hypnotised méduse
Do more faire plus
Chipped electronic puce
Guns down make a truce
No lies tell the truth
Crooked smile crooked tooth
Getting used to the youth
So uncouth they need proof

No voodoo withdrew booze
Leave you in the pooh poohs
Stopped by said coucou
They don’t like me beaucoup
Flying like a soucoupe
Looking for a new group
Playing out my blue roots
Baby got some new boots
Sure fire my soul shoots
The doldrums the dole troops
The ashtray the old doubts
The swag and the gold loot
A bag of black coal soot
Delivered to my car boot
Military war coup
Seem like I deja vu
Living life is ardu
Dodging bullets harpoons
Comical like cartoons
Broke I don’t have la thune
But I do have lacunes
Two black eyes racoons
High tides on black moons
High fives in back rooms
Capsized the platoon
Catatonic die soon
Die hard go ba-boom
All letters spell doom
The broum broum the zoom the zoom
Fly like a witches broom
Take my pen to my tomb
Over dark skies loom
