TICK TOCK ROCK

An introduction to my redhead music collection.

This is a song I wrote about the men in black those dreaded debt collectors. They arrive like dark shadows of doom looking very similar to funeral directors who carry away a corpse ;These guys also cart away a lost life.  I've experienced both , neither was a pleasant experience, You're left with a big empty space where once life used to thrive.

HEAVEN SENT This is a song I wrote after seeing an old friend that I've known for ever and "never" the reason I say that is due to us becoming now almost strangers after living in each others pockets for a life time, as they say familiarity breeds contempt as I get older I do begin to observe this in older companions. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVdBq6wMdF6uQZBZ9Tudc6-cWqqmP2Gk2tled

This is a song I wrote about the short but violent life of the gangster, racketeer and business man called "big Al Capone" who ruled the American Prohibition era boot-legging booze , brothel's and bars. He came out of the notorious Five Points slum district described as the "Hell’s Kitchen" of New York; the last bastion of Beelzebub.  He basically murdered his way to the top , A six feet piece of...

This is a ditty I wrote about the boy from Brixton "Bowie". The chameleon of creativity, the style Tycoon who pushed convention over a cliff ;My mother and father hated him and used to call him a looney toon with a head full of cartoons hence the chorus. But his iconic innovation shaped the world of pop, and that’s why I loved him then and now , even when interviewed you can see he was enjoying hi...

This is a song I wrote after reading about the ravens in the Tower of London.  Long ago, they were the city’s street cleaning squad as they are now. The Tower’s executions were, to them, a rare treat of meat. Now they're a tourist greet, their bellies packed with blood biscuits rabbit. Pampered, praised, and plump, they are awarded military rank and are subject to the same strict code as soldiers,...

The firebrand once Babtised me in an ice cold glacial river in the high Alpine maritime of France , stating "I'll wash the Fxxxxxx sin from your wort...

Known for her rebellious lifestyle, she lived with Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones at the height of their fame. Her story is one of a dramatic fall from a celestial ceiling into decades of addiction and life on the str...

In the USA, by the age of eighteen, children have seen some ten thousand murders and two hundred thousand acts of gratuitous violence to the point where fact and fiction become one in a crani...

This is a song I wrote about Madonna who has been entertaining us for fifty years non stop reinventing herself over and over she was the jump board for lady Gaga Milly Cyrus and all modern day rock chicks bravissimo girl !!.

This is a song I wrote about watching and listening to the multimedia T V and radio news , its doomsday message will make you blow a fuse or turn you to the booze, for New Year it's something I'm gonna have to loose in order to combat the blues.

FEMME FATALE A song I wrote for an ex girlfriend first in acapella then with instrumental accompaniment, it's about the sirens swan song that you hear just before your love boat runs aground and you scent the sulphur this being the final pheromone you smell as you slowly begin to drowned

A song I wrote about friends of mine who tried a little too many thrills pills and spills; they now have rather a dislocated dendritic projector playing in their brain which keeps having flash backs giving them a dislocated dialogue that's on repeat or replay .I always try in my life and work to keep a little rhythm rhyme and reason after being sideways from sobriety for so many years; still it's...

This is a song I wrote about a crazy preacher man I lived with for ten years , he's a fire and brimstone man of god from Glasgow who studied at Scots college Rome , The Vatican. The firebrand once Babtised me in an ice cold glacial river in the high Alpine maritime of France , stating "I'll wash the Fxxxxxx sin from your worthless soul; looking back from the deep water at his husky dog blue eyes a...

This is a song I wrote for a hard drinking Marlborough man called Simon, who got pretty busted up when he fell in love with a girl back in the seventies. I know how he feels! Back then Pride didn’t exist, but she was called Gaydar , a very unusual name so I suppose he should have seen the red/pride flags, but then so should I. He still misses her, and those wild days driving across Africa, living...

THE JAZZ MAN  This is a little jazz piece I wrote inspired by a friend of mine whose sir name is "Wright" hence why i based the lyrics around that rhyming similie , come pun . I had the privilege of studying Jazz under the guiding tutelage of a brilliant Jazz-man maestro named Mr Bentley who had a music room with the model D black Steinway turned to perfection which I can only be held responsible...

This is a song I wrote for a friend of mine who's just got married I do wish him all the best and hope that it's forever and ever Amen as with the title of the song. 

This is a song I wrote for the only woman I do desperately wanted to marry, but then you know what desperate men get , that's right they get crushed and damned ; we destroyed each other through drink jealousy and mutual madness, I never recovered and neither did she , love so dangerous in foolish young hands. 

Coco Chanel came from scratch poor humble origins. Abandoned as an orphan to the sacred heart of the Catholic church, from there she became a rag to riches success story changing fashion forever and in her words freeing women from the enslavement of corseted clothing which she regarded as similar to upholstering a piece of furniture rather than feminine fashion. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?li...

This is a song I wrote after reading about how much sovereign debt countries around the world are carrying. In Britain, we have three trillion pounds £45,000 on every person’s head. In America, it’s $110,000 per person. A hundred trillion is owed to the world’s monetary institutions, which in turn are financed by the world’s richest megalomaniacs i.e., the Rothschilds and Rockefeller foundations w...

Disney have cancelled it due not really getting the Doctors ability to change colour and sex which was quite an original concept ; well all I can say is they better...

He has a five million dollar bounty on his head from the FBI and many other secret service organizations. But he has brains, brawn, and beauty. He changes his coat of many colours, camouflaging himself like a chameleon to evade capture. ht...
