Scorched Earth I know how to blacken out the sun I can make the air weigh heavy My heartbeat smashes like a drum You’ve had to learn to be ready I’m forever not one to die wondering Gonna let you know when I see you bad Cause my spirit does shudder and drain away Just you having fun can make me crack I nail you to a cross on fire Blame you but it’s me who’s the liar How long ‘til I put this scorch...

ABOUT YOU BIG BIRD There’s a smoky trail across the sky Behind you big bird as you fly I’m running waving both hands free But my mommas come to capture me My mom she’s got this thing you see About you bird we don’t agree She don’t like your fiery tail She’s gonna capture me and hide away Big bird flying across the sky I don’t know you or your reasons why Big bird do you come to play Mommas got bad...

Loose Togetherness It don’t matter even if we fight Roll away and kick Talking ‘bout a split Tuggin’ at the duvet through the night Leave you in the cold Call you Mrs Troll Nothin’ like that can make a dent In this faithful heart Never not once been wavering I’m so much in love You can spend the night away and I’ll not fall apart Our loose togetherness is what we want And I can take a chill pill n...

Think about me differently Yeah I know I been a hurricane Tearing at your fabric – you had to hold on tight But now there’s better weather Gonna make my momma proud And God knows that I love you Gonna anchor me to the ground Yeah think about me differently Wellin’ up in generosity Mmmm mm think about me differently Cause I love you girl and I love my family Wanna work with my job so hard Build us...

Arms Wrapped Around Often it’s so lonely – even in a pair When darkness strikes and streets are full of fear It’s as though love’s gone to ground And we steel ourselves again To faces set like masks in silent stare But even though I’m hollow You’ll warm me up inside With your arms wrapped around, With your arms wrapped around And even though you’re empty I’ll lift you up tonight With my arms wrapp...

Heart In The Room Across the room oblivious You dance like when you kiss In that moment impetuous Freeform and meaningless You are in outer space - juiced by rocket fuel An actress on a stage - just for the thrill And here I am silently craving Behind my eyes I’m going crazy Cause I’m connecting With a runaway downhill train Who don’t know what she does I’m tied to the tracks - depending on you To...

Only You (Can make up my world) I got high ideals to follow Have to change the world I pick at bones of society And ring those sacred bells And you who I met in a twist of fate Are from the other tribe But trying to do right and look the other way It’s like an elbow in the side Yeah I can’t seem to be Mr anarchy Cause of you mesmerising girl I’m a slap to the great ideology ‘Cause only you make up...

Personal Stuff You’re a way out there - And I love you as you are You got my attention - You grab at my heart There’s no doubt - the thoughts you have - will come out You’re a book - laid wide open - to read aloud Love your personal stuff Let it all out Let me get inside your mind I’m crazy ‘bout what I might find This guy’s madly in love Don’t hide your personal stuff no no It’s complicated - The...

The photo is Marc performing in a house concert at our place in 2005. Water On Stone has always been a real favorite of Marc's songs and we set about recording it about 10 years ago. Marc being a perfectionist - it look ages just to record his guitar and vocal and I added the 2nd guitar and vocal later. This is much like how we performed it as a duo. What a force was Marc - such a huge personality...

Catch Up Lady My catchup lady she’s so good to me She was born to please Like a summer squeeze My catchup lady she just calls it fun She’s a real temptation There’s no obligation She’s happy in herself she don’t hunt me on her phone I just let her know and she opens up her home It’s fresh mint mmmm and coffee in the pot She’s a black skirt lady cool and boiling hot Yeah she gives little bit of her...

I’ll Want You Later Seeing change in purple fields Like a snaking new-born creek And all the guys play bubble gum In three four time it’s such a stunt But I’ll want you later (I’ll want you, I’ll want you) Yes I’ll want you later (I’ll want you, I’ll want you) And as we lurch from slope to flat I know you’re more than just a bag Right now it’s just conceptualize But wait until you see my eyes Caus...

Get What You Wish For I sense from you Just what I been wanting Yeah I been ill from all of my needing Car exhaust and your perfume Spikes this fever itch of anticipation Cause there’s flame in your softest eyes I think we’re gonna drink from us this time And I’m here willing and crawling ‘cross the floor I’m grabbing at your shoe cause I’m making sure that you Get what you wish for You get what y...

Art These Days I see her close and she does rhyme With everything I have in mind Glory is her curves and lines Euphoric volume drawing sighs I’m the painter brushes clean Relive her movements when I please When she returns I live the dream That’s art these days That’s art these days (oooooh) That’s art these days That’s art these days (oooooh) And of course there’s time travel Conjuring up her you...

Night Table Pull the summer from the night Let the window float about Light the lamp but not too bright Slip in here without a sound Love me like a zephyr loves the trees Rustle softly in between the sheets Lay for me your linen cloth Smooth it out upon the night table Pour for us the sweetest wine Lie yourself on top if you’re able Wanna take exotic you Taste your oregano and basil Gonna find you...

Kids on Bikes Hey you don’t live you agonise Sifting the flour looking for lies I know in the high jump I’ll hit the bar Trying too hard not to do you harm (do you harm) You don’t love you analyse I wanna see trust in your eyes Look out the window and see the fun in the park The twisting and turning of kids flying past Let go the blame in the stories you write Let’s love with the freedom of kids o...

Change For Hey I’m sent so tumbling just the sight of you And underground we’ve only got a time or two I’m watching what you do The windows start to move Change for another line Change for electric nights Change for start-up hearts Change for floaty love This rocking carriage‘s sparking on the line And you aware of nothing but your life You’re bag you’re grabbing tight Hiding you inside Change for...

Play it Live We’re too long practicing phrasing F#m7 Abm7 Dbm7 Wondering whether we’ll be tight F#m7 Ab7+5 Dbm7 We don’t know if we’ll find a rhythm To get it grooving and make us rhyme So let’s just do it E Let’s make music A Put it out there E And play tonight A Sing those high notes Ama7 Ab7+5 Up to heaven Dbm7 Gb6 Let’s put it out there F#m7 Play it live – play it live Abm7 Let’s put it out th...

Swollen Lip No doubts in mind - you the one for me It’s carved in hot - it’s a raw belief I don’t have to think – it’s autopilot me And you come willin’- for ecstacy You layin’ on top - you crushing me I gotta be the boss - but you’re controlling me I - gotta be breathing you Squeeze me black and blue I - want your endless kiss - wanna swollen lip You wrap me in thighs – you gym junkie I drown in...

Tattoo Tribute Been a long time since you put that mark on your skin A black n ink gesture faded and oh so thin When you did that thing – my heart was pounding my chest I felt we were forever – I was drunk on a love obsessed Yes it’s been a long time now and our bond is torn tissue Yes it’s been a long time now Since you showed your tattoo tribute Since you showed your tattoo tribute Why’d you do...

Steamy In this car in the dark anonymous We like to think we are It’s all talk and philosophies Or is it about beating hearts? It’s a black and white movie Facing each other across the seat divide In a moment coming up - we could make the move When the signs align And darling don’t drop the windows will you no Let it get steamy – let it get steamy Don’t drop the windows will you no Let it get stea...

Sacred Fire Girl you are a coiled spring and I trigger you easily Cause I’m forever such a roadie And it makes you have doubt in me But what’s an angry flame - don’t it mean that feeling’s on a hi You turn me round Your passion down the phone - stops me in my tracks I’m on a U turn - cause I never can stay away From your heat - scorching me tonight I’m driving down the road to you - into the flame...

A Woman Loved Fire all your border guards Open up the windows A warm wind is flowing in A butterfly roams You work so hard to hide your soul Chalking up some victories Seems it’s all a smokescreen though Clouding loving dreams You don’t need your old black dress The power isn’t needed You don’t have to wade right in You can leave them bleeding Cause you can live a life free and random As I come to...

Bet you wonder how i knew

Watered Down This time apart I notice your messaging Only seems to be you answering back Nothing from you with spice Everything nice nice nice When I need you to scream Yeah don’t come back watered down I want the force of you to pin me down I want all of your potency Cause a watered down you I cannot believe Been diving so deep into the ocean That sticky salt spray burning our eyes Been licking t...
