I ain't got enough but there's plenty in store.
A real opportunity just waiting around the corner.
Clutching at straws is a gamblers life.
It all remains on the balls if luck is on your side.

The feeling is a buzz
A tingle in your gut
Everything slows down to a heartbeat
I only need 6 matching numbers on the lottery.
1st place, 2nd place it don't bother me.
Scratch cards, sweepstakes and lucky draws
Queuing for that destiny, still believe in yours?

It's time to pull your finger out and get real.
A desperate handshake to seal the deal?
Don't live your life spinning the wheel!
When there's a 100 to 1 odds
I can't see the appeal.

You ain't gonna get anywhere
If you're sitting around.
It makes no difference,  the percentage is down.
What will happen if you get that winning strike?
Well tap me once, tap me twice
I'm dreaming of a reality that's hard to find.

It's time to pull your finger out and get real.
A desperate handshake to seal the deal?
Don't live your life spinning the wheel!

Up until now we've hardly spoke.
Except when you we're with your friends
And a little drink for a bit of Dutch courage.
And hopefully someday
our words will flourish.

It's okay,
it's nice that you're taking you're time
It just means that
it'll take a little longer....
but that's fine and that's perfectly all right.

I would wait an eternity for you if I had to.
You seem genuine enough....
and there's something quite special about you,
I just can't place it... right now.

It's been 6 months since
we first met
We were going to remain friends
but then It got all
emotional and I said
we'd have to hook up sometime.
I'll text you at the weekend.

We could go for a bite....
There's a nice little place
At the Riverside....
Does tapas and free shots until 9

It would be interesting to see how tonight goes
It's good that things are looking up instead of down.
and now its actually happening, It's quite exciting.
I guess you could say we're an item now.

Say I'll pick you up around 6
We could do the promenade
And bum around for a bit.
We don't have to eat too early.
I'm glad I caught up with you finally,
It's been a long time coming.
And by the way,
you do look stunning!

"Hi its me, is everything okay?
I've tried  to call you many times
and If you're there, please pick up
I'm here and I'll be sticking around for a while
If you change your mind
And if I don't see you, then maybe Some other time. Bye!"

I think they're all the same man.
Taken down and singled out,
Is this the way to reign down.

Create some sxxx
And make it stick
Dont people just make you sick!
Is this jealousy or make belief
Hearsay and heresy.

Stick a sticker on me-e-e
Stick a sticker on my identity.
Stick a sticker,
Stick a sticker!

Whether it's a minor dispute
Vendetta or to ridicule
When that sxxx hits it sticks.
Stripping away and leaves you vulnerable
People can be so damn cruel!

Stick a sticker on me-e-e
Stick a sticker on my identity.
Stick a sticker,
Stick a sticker!

Label me, label you
Whatever turns you on.
Look at me then look at you
In the mirror If you choose.
Hope someday you can be forgiven.
All things considered!

Whole world's beginning to spiral down
It's supposed to go up,
Its gone viral now.
It's time to step off the pedestal
before I become a vegetable.
A man with a plan is a focused man who stands in a line on rich man's land.
His small dreams held
by another's hand
that shows no sympathy.
Is my dream my dream....
Is it fake or is it real?
I think it's about time
I stepped off the pedestal!
I stepped off the pedestal wheel.
Dreams being crushed
show a lack of empathy.
Is my dream my dream
or someone else's from behind a screen?
Is the system a fake
Simply fabricated and manmade?
Is my dream my dream....
Is it fake or is it real?
I think it's about time
I stepped off the pedestal!
I stepped off the pedestal wheel.
My destiny is my destiny right
Surely I own the rights
to my fight.
Which way and where it leads should be in a straight line,
so who's destiny yours
or is it mine?
I'll know when I get there cos
the mind's more vacant,
and my body a little limp, spirits are broken think think just give me a hint!
Remind me of a life
I once knew,
I'm back on the pedestal,
so what's new?
Is my dream my dream....
Is it fake or is it real?
I think it's about time
I stepped off the pedestal!
I stepped off the pedestal wheel.
Work work and no play
But I own a home,
and my family have grown
and moved away.
I've outlived many pets
And paid off however many vets.
My retirement plan
is in someone else's hands, with tax on tax
will I ever get my cash back?
Is my dream my dream....
Is it fake or is it real?
I think it's about time
I stepped off the pedestal!
I stepped off the pedestal wheel.
Turning Turning
Forever yearning.
Wait, can you smell my shoes, they're burning!
Fire fire I am the pyre.
Someone put me out,
Please I'll retire.
We're born, we grow
We live our best life.
We lose loved ones
and become bitter.
With resentment, grow old
and become less Resilient or so I'm told.
We get ill and we become sick.
Our health declines sometimes really quick.
We plan and organise,
We have to say goodbye
and sadly we die.
Our lives remembered
And our fondest memories
are treasured.
Our lives all but measured
up to a life we once survived.
And thereafter till new hope does arrive.
Is my dream my dream....
Is it fake or is it real?
I think it's about time
I stepped off the pedestal!
I stepped off the pedestal wheel.
So with all our love for to take
on your next journey I must say
Each time I close my eyes
My thoughts are with you
and you there right by my side.
Cos our adventures are together we must decide.
Just please stick around enough to keep in touch
It's simply being polite
and not asking too much.
So see you real soon,
I'll send my love.
kiss.

It's My Destiny!

Piano hands play me a tune,
Just a gentle note to caress a favorite part of you.
Your  body's aching you go into a deep sleep
I keep on stroking her until her body becomes weak.

Oh baby what makes you so special,
it's quite irrational
Is a feeling I get when you break out with sweat
You fall to your knees and cry out for my baby.

And i know this feeling where  passion grows,
It expands and flows
(Like the sea).
And I know this feeling where passion grows
It expands and flows
(Like the sea)...your erogenous zone.

Oh baby what makes you so special, it's quite irrational
Is a feeling I get when I break out with sweat
you fall to your knees and taking with ease
and cry out, cry out
and cry out for my baby.

That part of your body can be so heavily guarded.
Trust me baby it won't be misguided
Yet when the sensation hits there's
no narrow margins.
When erotic pleasure suddly take grip
...And all it takes is one slip.....

Your  body becomes weak
You fall to your knees
And taking with ease
And cry out  for  your baby!

And i know this feeling where  passion grows,
It expands and flows
(Like the sea).
And I know this feeling where passion grows
It expands and flows
(Like the sea)...your erogenous zone.

It's dark outside by quarter to 5
And my working day is over
It's time to put my feet up high.

I'm not the only one, my wife is there too
Shes so busy channel hopping
it's what she was born to do.

It's cheaper to subscribe than a night out on the tiles.
I says honey are you bored she says man are you wild
Ive got you at my side, watch what we like
I could stay all awhile I am simply syked.

Mind has gone absent
It's time to switch off/on
Flicking through the channels
Expecting to find something great to watch.

God damn I've been looking forward to this
There's a series on Netflict that I don't wanna miss!
it's the same every night I can't stop now
I'm hooked I'm strapped in and fully addicted.

It's cheaper to subscribe than a night out on the tiles.
I says honey are you bored she says man are you wild
Ive got you at my side, watch what we like

Pour myself a glass o' bubbly drink
I drink the first one fast
And chill for evening.

Slam that door,
Jangle those keys
Inside once more.
Fall to your knees.

Repeat offenders..
Watch out for the benders,
Those Pill head poppers,
And bent screw coppers.

Keep your nose clean
But that's hard to do
Can't stay immune
Those creature of habits will consume you.

It's survival of the toughest in there
It's a stiff climb to the top
but only if you're feeling  proud
It's just as easy to fall off that ledge
And come crashing to the ground.

The mobs are out on the wing,
Seethers on the block
Looking for some fresh meat
I swear down I'm not as soft as I look.

Keep your nose clean
But that's hard to do
Can't stay immune
Those creature of habits will consume you.

Slam that door,
Jangle those keys
Inside once more.
Fall to your knees.

Prison Cell

Evil lurks and evil looms
In the shadows, casting its doom.
It's good verses evil,
The ying or the yang
The darkness over light
Is where evil will stand.

Oh witch of white,  so mystical
but gentle and slight.
What of your knowledges and prowess
What powers do you possess?

"Rise above it oh creatures of mercy.
Evoke healing, offer wisdom and bright magic.
Send back these victors of hades,
From the far reaches of the lost lands and pelagics
Unify become one strength and stand
Reunite witches of white, reunite!
Reign down on them troubled souls and restore
peace, (peace), (peace)...................Once more"

Oh witch of white,  so mystical
but gentle and slight.
What of your knowledges and prowess
What powers do you possess?

Let the battle commence.....

Now fight,
Raise your hands,pick up your wands,
take your staffs and reign up on.
Make a stand, and fight for truth 
your destiny is at hand
But you must never lose.

Oh witch of white,  so mystical
but gentle and slight.
What of your knowledges and prowess
What powers do you possess?

Bio

When I was 20 I and a group of friends formed a band called FUSION, nothing too serious. We played locally for
only a short while before settling down to work and family life. We played mainly cover songs with an occasional written song. I'm much older now and it's simpler for me to continue with my writing.

CV/History

I've been writing since 1994, when I was 16. I first listened to old skool rave and then vinyl records belonging to my Mother, her range was progressive and psychedelic rock mainly like Zeppelin, Floyd, Whitesnake to name a few. I got into the Grunge rock and metal scene that year. All my writings came from these. I have a varied writing ability, writing all types of genres where my skills have improved with age. Writing is a good way to get your problems answered like speaking out and is a way of release, which has helped over the years. My lyrics are very personal to me and shape who we are. I have been using AI tools to
bring my lyrics to life, this has been a huge help In delivering a voice and sound to my work instead of it being hidden away in a book for however long. It has grown my confidence and encouraged and inspired me to write more. Hope you like what you hear. I would also be happy to write personal pieces for events, especially theatrical scenes which seems to be a path I'm heading. Thanks for showing an interest.
