What do you do when your friends gone mad
And it’s the best time they’ve ever had
She said she only dreamed she’d been awake
Had to get up before it got too late
So she kept on running and kept on running
She rolled me over like a 2 week millionaire
What do you do when the world’s gone mad
And it’s the best time you’ve ever had
saw myself walk out the door
I kept on running and I kept on running
Hey hey hey hey
New arrivals
Hey hey hey hey
to survival
hey hey hey hey
my my my
she rolled me over like a 2 week millionaire
Pass me a bottle
I’ll leave you the key
You can tell them where I’ll be
Somewhere in that high country
Where the lovin’s easy
and the living free
Hey hey hey hey
New horizons
Hey hey hey hey
Older wiser
Hey hey hey hey
My my my
Hey Hey hey hey
She rolled me over like a 2 week millionaire

For Al.

The Duke

Hear the footsteps in the servants quarters,

preparation for the coming of the Duke.

Quick to notice,

that his iron grip has faltered,

tell him anything

as long as it's the truth.

His teachings now

are locked within his silence,

to disregard every opinion

of the world,

who search forever

for the sources of his laughter,

yet to hear the sound

and never find the cause.

Behold the walls and ruins of his castle,

Gold and silver now more common than the flesh.

One last cry, a final gasp in anger

break the Spears

and lay him to his rest.

Gentle soul won’t you fill his mouth with holy water

One last drink

To forever quench his thirst

His sceptered hand

His burning heart

Have made a pyre of himself

And shadows dance

Where once the fire burned

Ok folks. Not everything's gonna make it unless I go bonkers, and even then the permutations are endless. Come to that in a minute.

Meanwhile let's look at where the individual songs are at.

·         Morning flame

·         Crossfire

·         Liquidator

·         2-week millionaire

·         Psychedelic surfer

·         My myself without you

·         The fix is in

·         The king is back.

·         Message from bob

·         Zeppelin sunrise (LOL unless it gets renamed)

Good to go. Some last fettling for mastering purposes and we’re away.

In Production

The Robin Trower thing isn't gonna make it cos Paul S would be the best choice for guitar and he's still out.

 'Where am I' might work as an instrumental but I dunno if that's the vibe for Juggernaut, unless we opt for a 2-album deal. ‘Where am I' and 'don't lie to me' have been languishing between albums for two cycles now. Bah Humbug.

Solace, however, has burst out of the greenhouse and is charging off down the street eating people. Ah it's always touching to see a Triffid leave the nest.

There's no pressure one way or t'other, except for the need I have to clear the decks.

I am awaiting:

Solo for Heavens on My Shoulder (subbed out to Robin in Sweden cos I am short on lead players)

Backing Vox for The Duke (may or may not work, taking a punt)

Maybe b-vox for the yearning ok yeah I think so. Ok just reached out.

Additional percussion for The Duke.

If we get these together it’ll be 13 tracks, everything else gets moved to the next release.

Non-Musical Work:

Credits – almost finished.

Layout and album art – digital release stuff sorted, physical album stuff nope but we don’t strictly ‘need’ to press cd’s but I guess a short run makes sense.

Video’s – done a few, will do a few more if/when. There’s a lotta hate for Robot generated stuff but I kind of feel like it’s just another tool.
Promo – LOL. Yeah. About that.

Anyway I got mixing to finish, more updates as I go.

Solace lyrics

VERSE 1
Leave the car with the engine running

You know I like to make a clean getaway

I got your ticket

come if you’re coming

you don’t need another reason to escape.

A good decision made at the right time’s

Like knowing when you drop your guard.

VERSE 2

We’ll hit the ground with all feet running

Until we get to where the accents change.

Cool your jets, rest your heels my little friend

We’ve only got the here and now

who knows when we’ll be this way again

I can’t believe you got inside
you let you in

did I decide?

Or were you here when I arrived?

BRIDGE

You bypass all my defenses

Maybe I don’t know what sense is

All I know is you give me what I need

CHORUS

You bring

Solace


(RAP SECTION)

When you wake up in the morning

And you hear the coffee pouring

And you dream someone is snoring

And you finally realise it’s me

And your cupboards are all opened

And your secret’s safely spoken

And the heart you thought was broken

Is now sitting on the mantelpiece

And the sunlight comes in streaming

And your coffee still is steaming

And the warmth that you are feeling

Is the energy of you and me

With your hand upon my shoulder

As you turn around to hold me

And remember what you told me:

BRIDGE:

We don’t have to wait forever

Make this great escape together

I could be the answer that you seek

CHORUS

You bring

Solace
