Home Up Lifeboat Band Kiss the Blarney Rest of the Music Boats

 

Up

This page has a few tracks off the CDs, Good Intentions and 27 Roads.  There are a couple of others, Ass, which is full of humourous and self deprecating little numbers I have penned over the years, including the classic number Trousers are cheap, whihc contains mroe truth than almost any other song ever written, and The Hills of Cheshire, which is the latest. Neither has made it onto here yet. Sorry. I need more webspace.

The first is the opening track, The Fences, and then there’s an odd little song called Miss Jones, and why not, indeed?

The tracklisting of the CDs is as follows:

Good Intentions

If It Wasn’t For the Fences / Glad rags / Miss Jones / Carrickfergus/Hewlett’s / The Dance Floor / She Taught Me How to Polka / Inconsequential Blues / Planxty Irwin / Love In Any Language / Gros Erreur / Four Black Horses

27 Roads

Bluebirds / How To Make a Band / Refugees / Keep Your Eyes On the Road / God's Song / The Man Who Played Piano / Easy Targets / Troy / Quorn / Debris / Everybody Goes Home

And if you want to hear any more of them, you can send me ten quid, inclusive of post and packing, and you can have one all for yourself. Without crackles and pops, too. Good eh?

I can hear you reaching for your wallet right now... okay, mail me first, and I'll tell you where I live.

 

 

I was thinking

About how I would hold you till the morning came

With the light breaking

 

But then I thought that this was a mystery

And the dream was better

And then I thought that any dream was better

Light was not meant to break.

 

I have never been to Barcelona.

But I have learnt one lesson from the blood.

And I have never climbed a mountain in Peru

But then I have never needed to.
