- about
- I record at home with a laptop, digital 8-track, an acoustic guitar, an electric guitar, a bass and a couple of shaky, percussion-ey things. This Demo is an album in progress. So, hopefully, songs will keep appearing as and when they're finished.
hope you like. - credits

- Track Name: Since you been Blonde
-
Cherry Dee you’re a leader
All the girls want to be ya
You’re ‘00’ and make no bones about it
Back in the day you were smarter
Until you discovered Prada
You were confused by the shoes
But you don’t want to talk about it
Allow me to shout about it..
Oh, since you been blonde
I’ve been trying to figure out why you were dark for so long
Make it up and fake like you need to belong
Don’t you know who you really are?
So watch your heels on the dance floor
Who are you wearing that dress for?
You know those vertical stripes don’t do you justice
All your friends say “isn’t she lovely….
…an angel sent from above me”
Got daddy’s card working hard to keep you covered in lace
But the lines on your face, they really show your age
Oh, since you been blonde
I’ve been trying to figure out why you were dark for so long
Make it up and fake like you need to belong
Don’t you know who you really are?
Oh, I can’t conceive
Just like everybody else you cut yourself and you bleed
Curling your extensions cuz you need to believe
That you know who you really are
You were my senorita
You lived on my Avenida
But you were born with a mirror right behind your back
So you could see your ass a little bit clearer - Track Name: Pop Idle

You’ve got to help me out cuz I don’t understand
How every woman wants to get with a man who is just like you
And you can’t just leave them alone
Get your guitar out and throw it away
You need to walk before you run anyway you’re a big man now
It’s time to stop touching yourself
You were alone before
Now everybody's knocking outside your door
Don't tell me you got it bad
It's hard to be alone with yourself
And you put your private life on the shelf
You been told more than you already know and still you're Pop Idle
There's a million other fish in the sea
But not enough to satisfy me
I been told more than I already know and still I'm Pop Idle
We are Pop Idle
Everybody's singing La La La...
You got your money back so go baby go
You got your pride so don't show up for the show
You're a big man now
It's time to start respecting yourself
You've got to swim back to shore
Even though you've set sale
From the tip of your highlights to your pinkie nails
You're believing that it's kosher the money that you're making
I believe it's about as kosher as smoky bacon
You've been alone before
Everybody's knocking outside your door
Don't tell me you got you got it bad
Apologise for all of your sins
A thousand times and over again
You have grown more than you already know and still you're Pop Idle
There's a million other fish in the sea
But not enough to satisfy me
I been told more than I already know and still I'm Pop Idle
We are Pop Idle
Everybody's singing La La La...
I'm a race car driver
A gossip insider
I am an ice skater
A Guitar player
I am suicidal
A real Pop Idle
I am rehabilitated
Notoriously hated - Track Name: Candy Candy

Candy, Candy
Got me down on one knee
Don’t make me plead
She meant nothing to me
She’s just a friend
I swear I’ll never go there again
Candy, Candy
We need to work this thing out
I’ll make a vow to you and you to me
Things will get better starting now
Naïve, naïve
Wish I wasn’t so hard to please
Candy, Candy
Turn the light off, turn me on with your charms
I’ll make the bed and you’ll lie here in my arms
Candy don’t cry
I’ll walk away if you say that’s what you need
Candy, Candy don’t you ever stop loving me
Candy don’t cry - Track Name: Avocado Girl

I'm just wanting to get your attention
just wanting to know if you were free on Friday night
I'll make you aware of my intentions
If it's alright, baby we can do this till it's light
Just thinkin' I might inform you
That you been running circles through my mind
I can't help but adore you
I don't know you baby but you make me wanna fly
Don't you wanna talk about it?...
I'm kinda like a man who holds his own
yeah, baby when I'm lonely it's all I know
I can leave that behind and let it go
been workin on some cheesy hopeless lines
I can work out your second name and guess your sign
Tell me how did you get to look so fine?...
Avocado Girl
You look like real fun......
What's up baby? don't you like what I got on
I never knew that you would bring me to this kinda bar
Yeah there's conga shakin' people makin' love in the other room
Any other day, I'd go crazy. Except I'm here with you...
I'm just a man who wants to learn
I wanna light the fire up and let it burn
Been a long time baby, It's my turn
You like it when the DJ plays your song
You love it when the day just seems to long
Looks like the weatherman got it wrong again
Avocado, avocado baby, avocado girl,
You're looking like real fun... - Track Name: Church on the hill

Church on the hill, I’m feeling like I have never seen you before
As years go by, I don’t recognise you
Big sea of souls drifting away never to be seen again
Set my people free and I’ll be bound to you my dear, forever.
I came to the north so that I could look down on you
You can take the boy from the pool but he won’t learn
I’ve asked so much of you
You broke your promises and I broke the rules
Let go of my heart and I’ll be bound to you my dear
Forever won’t be long enough for me to heal
You’re on your own now
Though my presence is not there with you I know you’ll be all right
Because I love you - Track Name: Playing the Field (Acoustic)
-
One hundred million years ago
When I was mine and you were yours
We could have started our own revolution
You know I can’t recall one fight or even that we ever cried
Then in the middle of our plans, you upped and let go of my hand
And I was forced to embrace your confusion
I didn’t ask any questions why
I told myself ‘just let her fly’, so you flew away
And when I look into her eyes, there will be no surprises
She’ll love me like she did before
It turns out that she had a plan and that there was no other man
She was testing the water, she was playing the field
And now we carry on with life
Got me a job and a sexy wife
But she don’t understand me like you used to
Somebody get me out of here, because I’m living out my greatest fear
That I ain’t got you near
And when I hold onto her hand, there will be understanding
She’ll need me like she did before
It turns out that she had a plan and that there was no other man
She was testing the water, she was playing the field
I stopped reading your star sign a long time ago
So just tell me to leave and I’ll go
But I just came to tell you I love you no more
So get out of my mind - Track Name: Playing the Field (Full Version)
