uk songwriting results
apparently being a semi finalist in uk songwriting competition means the songs were in top 20%…so should be reasonably happy with result against tough opposition…so…onwards and upwards…ps…if the content on this site exites you immeasurably…please put name on mailing list to be alerted of new stuff as soon as its done..cheers smudge

loved to death
first draft…strange that i should be working on this song when news of andrew and joan downes taking their lives at dignitas comes through..happy little number..but the thought that you could love someone so much that you could take their life…well, could you? may change a few bits around but have a listen…
lyrics to pay as you go
now posted on lyrics page strangely enough
i was there when you hit the wall
i heard you call
but i know my limitations
i was there time and time again
its still the same
its the cruelest situation
you pay as you go
yes you do
well i couldnt be
what you want me to be
you think what you want
what you want
well i couldnt do
what you want me to do
you pay as you go
you think what you want
youre heading on a downward path
it would drive me mad
to see you
going down
going down
it could only end this way
you didnt have to say
to tell me
you were gone
you were gone
rpt..chorus
pay as you go and deception
due to lack of free time here are two live songs to listen to..so a little less production than usual..but thats kinda how i like it..keep popping in..more soon
