<title>A Woman Like You</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/6155.html</link>
<description>Just a little country song!



A Woman Like You

A woman like you makes it hard for a man like me
I try my best but it’s not like it used to be
Both of us knew at the start
One of us would end up with a broken heart
A woman like you makes it hard for a man like me

Time brings changes won’t do you no good to fight
Works out the same anyhow, try as you might
When I made you cry
I just wanted to lie down and die
A woman like you makes it hard for a man like me</description>

<title>Devil Moon  - Live</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/6084.html</link>
<description>This was recorded live in a local bar. I am joined by my good friend Satch Wright on electric lead and bass. I apologise for the slight glitch about 00.15, I not sure whether we messed up or if it is in the recording. 
This is about as different as you can get from my previous upload &quot;Shame&quot; which developed in the studio and evolved into the final version.
I await your comments with interest. . . . . . . . .

Devil Moon

The moon was bright - almost full
Strong enough - you could feel the pull
Of the old madness of the Devil Moon

I was there and I felt it
God knows I couldn't help it
The old madness of the Devil Moon

And I know I didn't mention
That my ultimate intention
Was not what you'd call honourable
In the strictest sense......
But I really didn't care
There was magic in the air
And I knew that I had to
Take the chance

We made love - it was good
But both of us - understood
It was that old madness of the Devil Moon

No regrets - no shame
If you want somewhere to lay the blame
It was the old madness of the Devil Moon</description>

<title>I Call it RockinRoll</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/6217.html</link>
<description>A live take - my brother Phil on keys. I was showing this new(at the time) song to Phil and someone had the good sense to kick her into record! This was the result. What it lacks in production values is more than compensates for in feel. . . .  .comments welcome..........


I get up for work each day
Do my time, collect my pay
It's the price you pay

I come home late
Tiptoe in
I get the rounds of where you been
I take my medicine

Deep down I got something
Deep down in my very soul
I call it rockin roll

In my heart
Where you should be
All I got is this melody
Drivin' me

I am out
In some old bar
Singin' songs and playin' guitar

Deep down I got this feeling
Deep down in my very soul
I call it rockin roll</description>

<title>Is This What Love is?</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/6105.html</link>
<description>This one is different again and the first of a couple of country songs.
I was asked to change the lyric during recording and I did and have regretted it ever since.
Here is the original.......

I'm so restless
Like a junkie
Like I'm strung out
Dying to score
You're so regal
Like a princess
Like a goddess
Like a whore

chorus
Is this what love is?
Some kind of crazy game
Foolish pride is only satisfied
By your lover's pain

I got passion
So much passion
Molten lava
In my inner core
You've got beauty
But it's the cold kind
Like the ice flows
on the artic shore

chorus
Is this what love is?
Some kind of crazy game
Foolish pride is only satisfied
By your lover's pain

I'm so restless
I'm so jumpy
I never felt
Like this before
Your excitement
Has no conviction
It always leaves me
Wanting more

Is this what love is?
Some kind of crazy game
Foolish pride is only satisfied
By your lover's pain
By the pain
By the pain</description>

<title>Shame</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/6063.html</link>
<description>My first upload to AMP - I thought I would start with an introduction to my melancholic world!
This is probably the most non-representative song I have so where better to start.</description>

<title>Shame Guitarmix</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/6135.html</link>
<description>This is another mix/version of the first song I put up here on Bandamp.
It predates the previous version in that there is no drum track and no studio trickery other than multitracking.
I am playing all instruments other than Lead guitar which is superbly played by my friend Eamon Troy.
It also contains a whole extra verse which , I feel, resolves the song lyrically. It may not be as &quot;finished &quot; a version as the previous but it has a certain &quot;je ne sais quoi&quot; and I almost prefer it!
Comments welcome.

SHAME

This is not the movies,baby
I’m not the hero,
No happy endings here
No smiling Bob DeNiro
The cavalry will never come
Riding o’er the hill,
Captain Kirk wont beam you up
When it comes to time to pay the bill.
Shame!

We waste our energy
On the absurd pretence
That everything will be okay
If we just feign indifference;
And here it is reality-
It’s cold and empty as it gets,
How we maintain this glib veneer
Is the measure of our happiness.
Shame!

Welcome to the twilight zone                          
The kingdom of the mobile phone                 
where every dog has got it’s bone                    
And every kid is home alone                           
And every sordid tragedy
Is on the box for all to see
The greed, the wealth, the poverty
Crawling out of your T.V.
Shame!

I don’t want to be the one
Who has to burst your bubble,
After you have worked so hard
To isolate yourself from trouble;
Here is the reality-
As cold and empty as it gets,
The only thing that changes here
Is the price of beer and cigarettes.
Shame!</description>

<title>Walking the Streets</title>
<link>http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/6177.html</link>
<description>My most recent effort and my last upload for the foreseeable.

                                   Walking the Streets

It was midnight
Somebody’s dog was howlin’
At the full moon
Over the stadium
In the moonlight
Only cops and cabs were prowlin’
The empty streets
I was walkin’ home

   Crazy thoughts were runnin’ round my head
   Life and Love and where to go from here
   In my minds-eye – you lyin’ on the bed
   I’m out here walkin’, out here walkin’
   Out walkin’ the streets

In the daylight
The streets they are a sea of faces
All the people rushin’ round
In the moonlight
Even familiar places
Turn into a wonderland

   And the crazy thoughts keep runnin’ round my head
   Love and Lust and where we go from here
   In my minds-eye you still lyin’ on the bed
   And I’m out here walkin’ – still out walkin’
I’m walkin’ the streets

In the short term
There is no easy answer
That’s the price you have to pay
In the long run
It sneaks up like a cancer
Then it slowly wastes away</description>
