Cats Grow Names 02:34
lyrics

Let me tell you about my cats Clanger the mother Clanger Longtail She went missing never to be seen again Just after weaning her kittens One of whom was Zebedee Born in this room Who lived till 2 weeks past his 17th birthday A fantastic cat Known locally as The General Also known by me as Little Mate Then came along brother and sister kittens Leeloo and Gizmo The name Leeloo didn't last long And she soon became The Meepster Or just Meeps after the cute little noise she makes She is a sassy cat Takes zero nonsense from anyone No rise or jump from her Please She likes to go and hang out at the vets down the road Where she is known as Lady Lionhead She is a tiny thing under all that fluff Gizmo was her brother who was only 7 when he died A nicer cat you could not meet So nice he grew into Gizmo Timothy But he was a demon with his paws Really dextrous and loved juggling a pen Or foil balls So became Gizmo Timothy Beckham And when dear old Zeb The General passed He became Sergeant Gizmo Timothy Beckham He was so patient with next door's cat Lucky who moved in He was always Ninja here The neighbours moved away but Ninja stayed You can't tell cats A small white triangle bib is all you might glimpse Of a coiled pounce from the shadows He has grown the title Lord now But don't be fooled His full name is Lord Ninja Ninja Nobody Likes You (Except For Chioma) But I suppose I do really Anyway cats grow names. What names has your cat grown recently?

Stalking Sleep 03:01
lyrics

I'm gonna creep up nice and slow behind you Cos you're a cunning rascal don't I know No matter where you try to hide I'll find you There'll be nowhere for slumber left to go I'm stalking sleep through mental alleyways And lurking in the shadows of my soul I lie there watching nights turn into days On land of nod perimeter patrol I'm making such an effort to relax I am breathing deep And I'm counting sheep I'm stalking sleep Things aren't what they seem I'm on the edge of a dream Drifting off downstream So run you rabbit run you rabbit run Like Elmer Fudd I'm gonna hunt you down And in the end when all is said and done I'll doze beneath the cosy eiderdown I'm making such an effort to relax I am breathing deep And I'm counting sheep I'm stalking sleep Elusive sleep I'm coming for the kill Soak up your essence till I've had my fill

Suspended In The Fearful Dark 03:44

Suspended in the fearful dark Human beings float In filthy glass tanks torsos bloat Shine white through murky fluid Cccc Clammy slimy glistening Waxen bleached pale skin Hhhhhhhh Haunting underwater cries In half dead sleep Empty eyes Invisibly weep Hideous Sss ac ccc Shrill crackle and click and clack Gigantic Geiger insects attack Cccc Claw fang Pincers grip Grinding mucous mandibles drip Toxic hiss Oozing sticky acidic kiss The victims fight kick flail Fail Ac ac ac ac Acrid yellow liquid venom Paralysis injects Sucking proboscis ingests And to the infested nest Maggoty mass a crawling mess Of lardy larvae bugs And the monsters feed hungry bulging grubs

Red Carpet 03:31
lyrics
buy track
In my dream last night I was mingling with the stars of the British music scene Past and present Dead and alive In a red carpet after show party I could read their minds Ian Dury was chatting with Ray Davies Convinced that Ray didn't like him But Ray was more concerned with Lilly Allen in the corner Who was giving him funny looks He presumes because of the vol-au-vent debacle Really she is thinking "He's laughing at my fringe" Toyah brushes past me concerned she will not make it to the loo in time There's Damon Albarn and that bloke who was in Eastenders Park life! They are caught up in a spiral of out-cockneying each other Until they dissolve in a heap of Cor blimey how's yer father lady Godiva I should coco "I don't even know what I'm saying anymore" thinks Damon "Nor me" thinks the bloke who was in Eastenders "Hold up" said Billy Bragg "I just saw david bowie over there! How did he get here too?" I said "That was Ziggy Stardust This is Aladdin Sane You can do that here" And Billy shuddered inwardly While laughing a hearty laugh And shouting "Neat!" "Oh hi Billy" said David Just knowing billy doesn't like that hi-hat sound in space oddity "See you around, David" said Paul Weller Glad of an excuse to get away Thinking "He just wants to steal my winkle pickers" Don't look now but here's Robbie Williams! He's upset that Suggs just ignored him But playing it cool Maybe if he could see that Suggs was only upset himself He was sure that Paul Mc @*!? Cartney Had spat in his beer Robbie made a beeline for Freddie Mercury Well he would wouldn't he? "Hey Robbie I like your style" said Freddie Robbie's heart fluttered Even though he was positive Freddie could see he was a fake Elton John, Phil Collins and Ed Sheeran tried to get a conga going Thinking "We'll show them" While Sting and Kate Bush looked on Cringing inside But laughing and applauding them Eyeing each other as if to say "Aren't we good sports" And the convivial words and the contrary thoughts Reverberate around the room A soup of paranoia and insecurity "Excuse me" came a voice behind me It was Syd Barratt "Couldn't help reading your mind You see them too don't you?"

Lumière 01:40

Saggy suited men in hats Judder jerky on the screen Solemn faces Speedy paces Jitter comically about With a slightly doubtful eye New invention Apprehension Dust and scratches flicker past Caught in this moment Colourless mothers Lift the baby Mouthing coo coo In a silent world

Call It Another Day 01:47
lyrics

Shall we just call it a day today? It is 3 am It's not quite time for anything Is it last night or tomorrow morning? We're in limbo Everyone's asleep Like operating in stolen time Birds are singing in the day Sunlight creeping up on the horizon Can't switch off Mind rats gnawing and even just nibbling delicately around the edges Silly mind rats Shall we just put the kettle on call it another day? What do you think? Put the kettle on? Call it another day? Call it another day

Slave To My Amygdala, Mary 02:04
lyrics

Ooh, Mary It's not my hip that's giving me jip Oh no! It's me amygdala, Mary! Right playing me up it is... It is...They are.. Whichever way you look at it For two little almonds in each side of yer brain They don't half cause a lot of trouble Only the size of marbles Oi cheeky never mind my marbles I'm a slave to my amygdala, Mary You know that Too right, Mary! I know! Then the hippocampus and hypothalamus have to get involved All that fight or flight-- oh yeah or freeze All that adrenaline rushing All that cortisol gushing It's scary, Mary! I'm a slave to my amygdala, Mary You know that Too right, Mary! I know! Once you get all that firing off down your vagus nerve you're done for Sends all my organs haywire And what does my limbic system think of that? I hate that cortisol - it's so stressy I like a bit of dopamine me Nice hit of serotonin I'm a slave to my amygdala, Mary You know that Too right, Mary! I know! Never been one for endorphins though Too much pain involved Wise words, Mary Couldn't have said it better myself You're a right good dosing of oxytocin, Mary Well yes I will say that Well it's true

Hardcore Parkour 00:56

Hardcore parkour I want to just do it But I lack ability agility Strength and stability Oh the cool street nobility Of such smooth and sleek mobility Scaling walls like spiderman Leaping urban chasms With an immunity to gravity Hop skip and jump you concrete athlete So neat so sweet so quick on ya feet It will always be one of my failings A disappointment I don't slide down railings Hardcore parkour

Daffodils 01:05
lyrics
buy track
As crocuses prick the lawns with coloured darts The emergence of the daffodils starts Their finger tips pushing through the earth Reaching for the new season's birth Days becoming brighter Evenings getting lighter Dense clusters of fresh green New untouched and clean They lift their heads, still tightly wrapped at first Waiting for the perfect time to burst And unfurl their flags of gold And raise their trumpets high and bold With a flourish they shout Winter is out out out March on march oh yellow parade Pulling sunshine into the shade With a fanfare they sing Bring in bring in bring in the spring

From Haringey in North London. I take part in online song writing challenges fawm.org and fiftyninety.fawmers.org where most of my songs are written.
Most of my songs have at least a gentle humour, and those that don't I hope are just as warm. ... more
