I’M NOT PLAYING TODAY I’m not playing today Not that I can be bothered anyway I’m the one forgotten And it tastes like rotten apples Smells like rotten eggs I’m not playing today My strings are rusty anyway I’m the diminished seventh Waiting for the eleventh minute Of the eleventh hour My existence is uncertain My rhythm is unsure My love in life’s becoming more obscure I’m not playing today I’m done with shouting anyway When no one is listening And it tastes like rotten lettuce With a slap in the face My existence is uncertain My rhythm is unsure My love in life’s becoming more obscure I’m not playing today I’m not playing today The rules are broken anyway I’m not playing today

Immune 04:23
IMMUNE Light the world with consumerism kings Shining from your view screen Fill your life with cheap, trend expiring things Use them once Replace them Before the trees have gone What can we do? What do you say? Chorus: I don’t need anything I want it Can’t be sold anything Believe it I don’t crave anything I call the tune You can’t get to me I am immune Keep your distance Contagion on the breeze penetrating sunscreens Experience the chill The feeling of unease When some have double standards All our trust has gone What can we do? What do you say? Repeat Chorus This is now the world we are living in Less a fact or fiction? Some are blind yet still drive 500 miles When most of us are locked in What agenda looms What can we do? What do you say? Don’t care anymore Just live for the day Repeat Chorus

1980s LOVE SONG Here I am putting pen to a page ‘cause I’m missing you so badly The words that I write are much harder to say Now I know that you don’t care for me that way Black Ink dries so much faster than eyes When your passion can’t be given You filled up my world But the air’s leaking through The hole that’s unrequited love for you If you don’t reply to me I’ll always be wondering what you do If we can’t be in love then in my song I’ll always send my love to you This is a love song for you This is a Love song This is a love song for you Now it’s getting late and I’m signing off As I walk away so sadly I’ve reached out to you But a fresh day is dawning A stronger life more positive and new. If you don’t reply to me I’ll always be wondering what you do If we can’t be in love then in my song I’ll always send my love to you If you don’t reply to me I’ll always be wondering what you do If we can’t be in love then in my song I’ll always send my love to you

HOLDING YOU AGAIN Worlds that fall apart Come together when new fires start You had been so good for me That I was taken by love But when things go wrong You feel that special warmth inside has gone Photographs that I once took Will come to life It’s possible When in my mind … I’m back, holding you again It feels so good How can I complain I’m back, holding you again And I can’t forget the burning of the deepest flame Teardrops disappear Crying in the rain so no one hears Glazed the sight of midnight bars Where I’ll go searching for love And when she adores the way I touch her All my life restores Anonymous within the dark So dance the hours It’s physical, but in my mind I’m back, holding you again It feels so good How can I complain I’m back, holding you again And I can’t forget the burning of the deepest flame I try to reconstruct the scene Pacing out the steps on solid ground All is but a jaded dream Which aims to seek a love that can’t be found. I’m back, holding you again

Insurance 03:40
INSURANCE I bought insurance Insurance for what? I purchased insurance And it cost such a lot But I’ve got you and you’ve got me What a wonderful world it would be Without fear of something going wrong Unexpected storm damage A hole in my roof By rain driven hurricanes Demanding the proof Claimed there was no storm that day So point blank refused to pay Disbelief that something went wrong I learned politeness I’ve learned to say please And thank you for listening But it’s not such a breeze For I get mad and lose my cool When I have to deal with fools And the fear of something going wrong Opera singers, Men in hats, ‘He men’ selling loads of ‘TAT’ For the fear of something going wrong

I DON’T WRITE LOVE SONGS ANYMORE You may have heard me singing love songs Most I never thought were good Many built around the same old words And dreary tunes I always wanted something different With lyrics never sung before But it seemed that every verse Had been accounted for, So I Scribe for the common good Still so misunderstood Treading water miles off shore I don’t write love songs Stare past your photograph The one that made me laugh Now I have closed that door I don’t write love songs anymore You may have heard me singing blues songs But I never felt the pain Many built around a woman Who had caused the rain I always wanted something different Fresh and unpredictable But generic repetition Made me cynical Scribe for the common good Still so misunderstood Treading water miles off shore I don’t write love songs Stare past your photograph The one that made me laugh Now I have closed that door I don’t write love songs anymore I couldn’t manage jazz Too many notes whereas A simple pop song only had four chords A sucker for a tune When you walked in the room I only wanted to sing, But I scribe for the common good etc.

Vaccine 04:23
VACCINE Stick me in your arm Sniff me up your nose Anywhere you like That’s how the porridge flows A biological preparation To aid immunisation Disinfect your bloodstream With Hydroxychloroquine I’m your vaccine Not a smokescreen I cure everything I’m electric gasoline Just a little prick An identity card Big brother’s watching Creeping up in your back yard An antigen in manufacture Within cells of foreign nature Y shaped proteins in your bloodstream For my scheme My whipping cream I’m your vaccine Not a smokescreen I cure everything I’m electric gasoline

Mask 03:30
MASK How can you sing when you’re wearing a mask How can you fly without wings There’s a new sense of normal So I have to ask you these things How can you live without going to work Without doing the things that you love As if toxic, not viable Can’t be touched without wearing a glove Some will deny Some will walk by An attack on their rights But who knows of something that bites Through a mask How can you love when you sit home alone Protecting the others elsewhere Think you’re going crazy Just desperate for someone who cares How can so many, discarded, forgotten Not be granted their value or worth Those who give joy And a backdrop to life on this earth Some will deny Some will walk by An attack on their rights But who knows of something that bites Through a mask

Isolation 04:02
ISOLATION Can’t go out Staying in is an impossible task Can’t sleep Can’t breathe though non removable masks Spitfire Lining up the sights for attack Airborne Hovering above Cardiac Isolation Isolation Isolation Isolation Stupidity, selfishness Defiance and greed On patrol, washing hands No one feeds Isolation Isolation Media Programming your every thought Down a drain Business and economy lost Isolation Isolation Isolation Isolation Isolation Isolation

MAGIC BUS OF LIFE If you want to hang around Listening to the talk That’s up to you If you want to play all day Never find your way That’s up to you Such a big world out there for to find You have to move or you’ll get left behind Jump aboard the magic bus of life You are welcome ! If you crave to overhear Damming hate and lies That’s up to you Great minds talk about ideas If gossip is your prize That’s up to you The science and the past, some will deny Short sighted, stupid, can be rectified Jump aboard the magic bus of life You are welcome ! If you desire to isolate Turn into a recluse That’s up to you Be your life forever dry Never taste the juice That’s up to you So step outside, breathe the air The cosmic wind blows wildly in your hair Jump aboard the magic bus of life You are welcome !
