Picturesque 04:30
lyrics

Well you put your bins out on the lawn Like so many times before The weather is about to fall It's a rainy day deep inside I'm on way, across the rainbow sky The challenges I meet today might never cross my mind Faces that are in the clouds, are judging me today They dissolve into picturesque notes that my fingers play The sky reflected in my eyes The pigs on the wing, learn to sing Just as well as the other ones

Odyssey 04:09
lyrics
buy track
I feel certain that the world is on its knees Absorbed in its climate change The final curtain is the politicians blames and all their sycophants In the end we will all be classed as one We pretend to exist in different lanes Some of us are more equal than the rest We will sing we will play until the end of the day Lights go out, fumbling in the dark, reach for the sound of my beating heart Odyssey to avoid the human kind Odyssey to achieve some peace of mind

Tall Poppies 03:47
lyrics
buy track
Everyday the television news invades my dinner time Filled to the brim with opposing views And the the weather turns on a dime In the South of the USA theres a hurricane And you never thought you'd see the day that ABBA reunite again! Let's let the wind carry us away, and then back again Could there be any other way, we learn our lessons from I'm just a cog in the wheel today, nothing big and nothing small Lets let the tide carry us away onto a different shore Everyday the people form their queues, to spend their money time Chinese whispers circulates the news, at who might be next in line In a villa in the south of France, they click their tongues at us But in an un-Australian way, we let our mates down Oh I can see them cut tall poppies again (repeat)

Marble Impressions 03:51
lyrics
buy track
The curtain falls and the stage is now an empty dream Nocturnal shadows fall - create a memory screen The seats are still warm Where spectators of the show did reside The performance has echoed into digital memory Summer rain is falling falling on the soft skin Ghost performers, take their measure Summer rain is falling Falling over, sense of danger White lines against a black stage Mysterious ways to belong to the night With denisons of the dark now an audience to the secret reveal The sound of rain falling My senses decay slowly turning inside, once again to search for remnants and relics, swirling out of reach Further than my hands can reach Chasing tiny faint rainbows The experience ebbs away Leaving me with marble impressions of the day

Driftwood 04:14
lyrics
buy track
A hole in the side of the dawn, keeps me from falling to sleep The rain has now soaked through the lawn The cats eyes have started to peep out from their homes The dolls eyes have started to weep out of their holes A siren strikes out through the night Somebody's troubles arise The tress have been blown down the street Extreme weather to analyse Tempest, why wont you blow some sense back into All of the people who refuse to change their hearts and minds Sometimes I feel quite frightened Sometimes I feel quite alone When I try to make something special, most of the people ask why If I try to make someone happy, all that I do is make them cry I'm on the sea, wonderful driftwood pulled by the weight of invisible hands Monies a rort, a lucrative franchise keeping us blind like mice on the stage Driftwood is free like starlight and sunshine S long as it always goes with the flow I make a song to cause a reaction but all that I get is a blank ticket stair

Pastorale (free) 05:26
lyrics

Look around at the paddocks look around at the village green Look around at the woodlands and see Take a chance on a wind sheer take a chance on a copper coin Take a chance on a love tear and shine Take your time in the shower Take your time in the living room Take the time to smell the flowers and perfume Find a place to be quiet Find a place to be contemplative Find a place far away from all the noise Look around at the gardens look around at the nature reserves look around at the sanctuary's and birds Cast your eye through the window Cast your eye over the troubadour Cast your eye over documents on the floor take a chance on the whimsical take a chance on the changing wind pastorale through my window

Behaviours of Concern (free) 03:42
lyrics

The sun was shining bright, the park was full of life and birthday parties Grass electrified, crew cut loud noise It must be said a poor choice of destination Procrastination would have been a better outcome That's not the way to make an income Sam is drawn toward the smell of sausages all cooking well Peroxide blond a head of hair Entangled in autistic hands Agonising painful sight tears know our sorrows plight training carves an evil steed Not what we know until we bleed And I should say I will will not forget the painful price Everybody else is an expert with advice Upon the learning curve you take a tumble with the dice

Break in The Clouds 03:33
lyrics
buy track
The layers I obtain have accumulated The hours that remain are reticulated Not trouble or for gain am I inoculated The favours that I share are not reciprocated Every other night I see you In a dream I must surrender to Like a crescendo of innuendo Make embargo on the pino For my libido take a placebo Change the tempo to address the situation, cease the temptation Thoughts an inferno, grandioso, desperado, incognito super hero This scenario, pseudo ego, komakino, chiaroscuro on the walls The beauteous gift of the soul Courageous light, beautiful sight both strange and familiar If you follow the opulent heard Surrounded by frost the terrible cost, feeling absurd And when we sleep and dream, immersed in fight or flight adventures The world might exist through a screen Portraying all our deepest fearsOn a pillow manifesto this fiasco unfolds - like a dreaming rain My bravado counts for zero, pianissimo in the ghetto of my soul I've been waiting for a break in the clouds

Forget The Sun 03:33
lyrics
buy track
When the night spectres run and the leaves like sleeves for black dagger forget the sun The transformation has begun Put your gun to your shoulder Stride out into the colourless affair With your dilly bag and your moonlight shining eyes you are sure, to take the prey by surprise Now your tucker bag is full and your prophecies bear no tears despite your fears Your noble shoulders take the weight and your appetite will never abait Step into these shoes, step into these slipper moon shoes With your shadow behind and your feelings unheard With inertia rising slowly, run your fingers through the dirt

Fantasy Impromptu 04:12
lyrics
buy track
Life is a storm, life is a storey book to be read and be written on the back of an envelop I try to make hay when the sun is shining and the days hold endless potential - vista insight I remember a yellow canvas on the easel Placed there to begin The smell of turpentine, pervades my mind The smell of chemicals saturate my soul Pathways to the places that we cherish and find comfort I've lost track of goals I'm setting one by one their marching - one two victory Yellow lines against yellow planes

Ayre For an Idle Thought 02:55
lyrics
buy track
Picking through the charcoal in my mind To find small nuggets unharmed Pale as the moonlight shines On the raging torrent ground Picking over anecdotes Picking over wild oats As the sky greyness lowers melding with sea the road Everybody's looking for a place to rest Everybody's looking for a place to stop and recharge Everybody wants to find a cosy nest Everybody needs a place to call their own sifting through the memories we hide In the helter skelter dream the truth confides Everybody needs a helping hand Everybody wants to get to the front of the queue Everybody deserves a second chance Everybody yearns for the moment of fame

Motet For a Moment 02:30
lyrics
buy track
Who could it be? Who could it be? Knocking at the door Who could it be? Who could it be? texting on my phone? I thought I was alone Silicon voices trying to intrude the gentle interlude maybe I owe some money, maybe it's just a scam It's a positive time of the day The rain clouds are staying away I've a stride in my step to the shops And the rose coloured glasses are fine and dandy today It's a positive time of the day The rain clouds are staying away I've a stride in my step to the shops And his rose coloured glasses haven't lost their spots!

Barcarolle 04:41
lyrics
buy track
Cold speaks the night to the opulent ways of your mind Rough dogs will fight like a chemical imbalance in your brain All the same, as if the darkness knows no end Takes the joy, between my hands and turns it in to a disgrace this human face This sanctuary sleepness, my prevailing weakness This creeping disease infecting my inspiration Sets me apart growing my isolation The search for a joy trapped in intoxication Bright speaks the light And casts a shadow on the ground Fight and or flight twisted up in a knot inside your mind Some secret knowledge crawls across the floor seeps into the valley's and ravines Dark sleep knowledge sweeps across the floor The opulent sign A fragment of mind Passing in cloud Voices in shroud raining like tears Painting a cloud Emptiness bed Sanctuary shed

Figure of Fun 04:20
lyrics
buy track
Caught as if in motion of speeding car Senseless devotion to the man who pays my wage Stop all your thinking about who you are Wearing emotion like a man behind a mask trapped in the notion that conventions will always last If anyone can prosper in this town not built to last They must not be so fragile, ineffectual or made of glass Lips in motion whisper gently The truth I'm fighting, build in redundancy If not price tagged, what is value What is currency but leaves on a tree

Silver Ocean Breeze 03:45
lyrics
buy track
And now this song might take me away Sailing on the seas, across the silver ocean breeze Sailing on the breeze Sail above the trees Flying through the rain, the letter box will explain I thought I might write a letter To put in words all my feelings and fears Our hearts not in this city, every time I try to stay I can't connect My eyes are full of pity, for all of the people who can't reflect There's a place, we can grow our dreams There's a place, we can grow our greens

Turn My Back 11:32
lyrics
buy track
In the middle of the night, when you head is full to overflowing Pen and paper by your side Your phone is ready for recharging moments are impassioned and your feelings are ablaze Time is moving slowly and your memories are a cage Here I go again... I tried so hard to ignite my pride Should I turn my back on the voice inside? In the summer time, here it goes again Should I turn my back on the voice inside? Turn my back to a world that's full of problems Turn my back on the people I've supported Turn my back on to the gardens and the driveways Turn my back on to the places we've called home Turn my back on the rivers and the byways This town has not always been kind and gentle It has not embarrassed my name Yet it's driving me insane paying my wage to the landlord Walkaway from the bullies and bottle shops I will disappear like garbage in the neighbours trailer I will slip away and close all these dead ends

Ending formal lessons on violin, I began writing songs in 1992, graduating to a four-track cassette recorder shortly after, and the addictive journey of composing then recording was entrenched. I continue, assimilating influences and forging my own way. I shy away from performing, I write, record then move on. I would love others to listen and enjoy, and hold out hope that I May find an audience. ... more
