Songs, songs, songs

No more foreplay, here are the bulk of my demos from a few years back.

Creative Commons Licence applies. Simply put - copy them freely, distribute them freely, use them freely, if you can be arsed, and discard them freely. If money or commerce comes into it, you need to get in touch with me. (Some chance! But hey, you never know, an enlightened A&R might see the potential in a couple of the more commercial tracks - err actually, there are only a couple of commercial tracks) and sign the Suspect Paki up. That would solve a lot of problems!

Please do me a favour and let everyone who you think might be vaguely interested to come get my songs. They don’t have to like them, but if they listen, I’m happy.

  1. The Sound of Your Name - the really commercial one.
  2. When The Chips Are Down - the possibly commercial one with bite. A chorus that I’d love to hear white people sing - and indeed, know of a couple who have.
  3. As I Stood There - probably my most evocative chorus lyrics, I have the video for this worked out
  4. You’re Never There - The other really commercial one. A ballad.
  5. One Hour More - Some tough lyrics about loss, but probably my best lyrics. The only song on which I play sax. Does anyone want to buy a Yamaha YTS25 Tenor Sax? Virtually unplayed and in mint nick?
  6. Every Conversation’s War - written while my dad was dying and I was working 24/7. A happy song about a normal man turned sociopath by the demands on his time from all corners
  7. Ride Away - about a certain friend - with unfinished chorus vocals, needs some backing.
  8. Our Little Secret - if you’re sensitive, don’t listen - these are the hardest hitting lyrics you will hear today. Unless you are into Marylin Manson or some such stuff

if anyone posts a comment to this message anonymously, requesting lyrics, I’ll be happy to post them. Please leave feedback and please give people the link to this site.
