WITH LOVE
In the Student Union at Liverpool Uni in the early 80s, there was a room called The McAusland Lounge, which had a grand piano in it. It was in this room that I mis-spent a great deal of my degree education, learning how to play it and making up songs on it. With Love is one of those songs. I…

Holy War
When I look back on what I did I sold my soul for the highest bid I gave my heart to a higher law I played my part in a Holy War Once a child looked through these eyes And saw the world in all of its beauty What kind of man controls these hands What kind of god What kind of destiny I took my…

Christmas Love
Christmas pop song with a whistleable tune. This time of year nobody likes to be alone You spend your time trying to find someone To take the edge off all the loneliness and hurt To find some happiness to share So if you'd catch me I'll be falling with the snow If your heart starts to melt We…

A traditional Christmas Carol in a classical style.

It Won't Be Christmas (Until You Come Home to Me)
A Christmas song very much in the style of The Jim Reeves Christmas Album. They're hanging up their stockings by the fireplace Santa's hitching Rudolph to his sleigh But it's a lonely cold and dark Frosty winter in my heart Since the moment that you took your love away Red stockings may be…
more -
Unaware
A song set in New York in early December 1980. Butterfly wings beat out the rhythm of your heart Tsunami waves swell and the hurricane winds start A stranger steps into the light You sign your name you say goodnight The Hudson wind begins to bite You head on inside A red sky dawn lights up the…

Acoustic version of the epic stadium ballad. Out on all platforms 14/11/2025 When I'm tied to the mast And the ship's sinking fast At the height of the storm Bring the calm Be my shelter My dementor-gripped soul Spirals out of control Lift me up Make me whole Be my shelter Maybe I can find a new...

Catch the Wind (mistral mix)
My love is strong As the ground we stand upon May last as long As the moon, the stars and sun But if you have to be away from me It doesn't m mean a thing I have no hold, I'll let you go I cannot catch the wind How I run Chasing after all your love when it's done And what I give is not enough…

Worlds Apart
She sits alone staring at the ceiling Wondering what went wrong Devoid of all feeling Takes a moment to think He's only a phonically away She stands on the brink But knows in her heart they're worlds apart He takes cold showers And tries hard not to notice time go by But the hours take their time...
-
Feed On Me
Stadium rock sized ballad, written and recorded inn 2025, digitally released 17.10.2025. When your head is in the clouds Your feet on shifting sands Your long cherished dreams Lie in pieces in your hands And you can't find the flow To where you want to be I want you to know That you can feed on…

Barefoot in the Woods
Quirky little orchestral piece.

Hymn to the Universe
Folky, acoustic guitar driven metaphysical piece. Open up your eyes and see Your first sight of the dawn You're alive and you've survived The pain and strain of being born Welcome to this brave new world For better or for worse Weak or strong, this life's a song We sing out to the universe What...
-
Brand New Song
Recently played by the legendary Tom Robinson on his Amazing Radio USA show. Sick of the sound of Three Lions, I wrote and recorded this jolly anthemic tune over a couple of days, then forgot about it. UNTIL NOW! I like catchy tunes, its original file name was Oi Cheeky! and I think it's bit of...
-
Gently Does It
September and the rain Softly falling again Relieve the heat and dust Of that dry August And when it all gets too much We'll sit back and watch trees Bend into the breeze The bough will never break Oh please for a life of ease I want to be with you Every step that you take My homecoming queen Of...
-
Crazy Mixed Up Kid
A song that I began to write whilst still at school, that feeling of the world closing in on you, closing down your dreams, time to 'get real'. I recorded it much later in the 2010s. Just another crazy mixed up kid That's how they explained away everything he did He's living for his own self…

I'm Not Dreaming Anymore
A song about disillusionment in the face of all the current unpleasantness. Once I though that hate could be erased The world transformed into a better place Free from scheming Free from keeping score But I'm not dreaming anymore Once I thought I could let freedom ring Truth and justice over...
-
On the Rise
There's a new day coming Get your flags unfurled Say good bye to these four walls Say hello to the world We can go where we want to go Be whoever we want to be For the first time in forever We can taste how it feels to be free Try to hold it together Keep your eyes on the prize There's a new day...

The Rest of My Life
I want to walk along a beach With no-one there Don't want to talk I wanna breathe pure clean air Give me a day I can remember Nothing to do Nowhere that I have to be An uncaged bird learning to fly High and free And I will be for the rest of my life After the sound and the fury There's a raging...

THE COLOUR OF LOVE
Blue is the night when you walk from my door Golden the dawn you come back for more Vermillion sunsets cerulean days Indigo girls cut right through the haze Of a thousand shades Show me the colour of love's blinding light Turning each skyscape into a starry night Tone down the heartache And build...

Beneath the Beat
Written mostly in the very early 80s, with a middle 8 recently thrown in, this song is very obviously influenced by the Two Tone label artists who broke through at that time. I heard you talking on the radio Beneath the beat The words you said went out the window But the music brought me to my…
more -
There's Gonna Be a Sometime
One of my 1970s songs with echoes of Laurel Canyon. The production and arrangement is my take on the sound of Jimmy Webb writing for Glen Campbell, David Gates or Bacharach and David covered by The Carpenters, that sweeping American orchestral sound, with the big vibe Gretsch. Most of it was...

Rydal
Relaxing classical vibe. Lake District inspired. Out on most of the usual digital platforms on 23/03/2025.

Hey DJ!
In these hard times that we're going through Tell me what it is that you're gonna do Give in yourself to the shame and sorrow Or party on like there's no tomorrow I know this place we can stay all night The music's good and the atmosphere's alright I know this guy who's out of his mind He can…

IF ONLY
Written in 1984, with Paul Young in mind as a performer, this has always been a favourite of mine, but a tough one to record a good version of. This is about the best (so far). It doesn't have to be this way That's what makes it so much worse I've said all I have to say There's nothing to reverse...

Winterlude
Winter flavoured classical piece.

Working Overtime (Edit)
Homage to Heatwave in general and Rod Temperton in particular. Girl what you do to me, I can't begin to say But I need more than twenty-four hours in any one day Understand I'm only one man And you got me working overtime Doing all I can Girl the way your treating me got no long term benefits I...

All I Want For Christmas Is an Irish Passport
All I want for Christmas is an Irish passport Six of eight great-grandparents were born on Irish soil They left to find a better life in Greenbank ghetto's backstreets In dark satanic factories they gave their sweat and toil I don't wanna wind up in a provincial backwater Cut off from the culture...

One Cold Night
One cold night there came an angel Seek he said and you shall find For this night is born a saviour To you and all mankind See that star of heaven's glory Let it guide you through the night Till you find a newborn baby The purest source of light Gloria in excelsis Deo Peace on Earth, goodwill to...

Radio Free America
Here comes the 21st Century I hope it does for you all that it did for me It put a beggar out on every street And a Corvette in my drive I kinda feel like a movie star Cruising down Sunset in that car Though it's a boulevard of broken hearts I feel like I've arrived Radio Free America Sending out…

You Make Me Feel Alright
Written at the end of a 3 week stay in hospital in 1984, this is a song about nurses in general. Any time there's a vacuum in my heart An emptiness that I can't fill And I can't stop myself falling apart I know you will I can't wait until You push away the night You make the day so bright You…

Grasmere
Busy and chilled classical piece.
