from your perch upon the moral high ground you can surely see much clearer, than ever I can, sitting way down here hey there you go again, my avenging angel; there you go again, my nemesis when i think of you, the moral vulture, waiting for me to die one man's sport is another's poison; neither knows the other's reason why hey there you go again my avenging angel; there you go again my nemesis

Chemical change Breaks me down Can’t rearrange Can’t fall down On borrowed time Nothing to say Skinny and weird Me, today Chemical change Make my day Radical strange Far away Not up to speed Gone for the day All I need Drifts away Chemical change Down on me Boredom, rage Misery Lash out in style Set it all free Stay for a while Down on me Chemical change Breaks me down Can’t rearrange Can’t fall down On borrowed time Nothing to say Skinny and weird Me, today Skinny and weird Me, today Skinny and weird...

The wheel's gonna spin When you least expect it to, it turns again When coincidences start to reel in And we understand the position that we're in I know I'm gonna fly When the wind comes up behind me, takes me high And there's little time to hang my head and cry Turn around or hesitate or wonder why - oh I passed by all the signs before Couldn't tell a brick wall From an open door But one sweet day, I'm gonna shine Pick up my pieces, gonna Take what's mine We're gonna be there When this magic carpet ride has reached its peak When the words we have, we do not need to speak 'Cause the beauty all around us is complete Birds gonna fly All around us through a diamond-studded sky With feathers made of gold, don't ask me why From mountaintops down to the shining sea People gonna say That they knew we were immortal anyway That one day we'd get up and fly away And live for ever more so far away We're gonna be fine Where the water's pure And the air's like sweet red wine In a distant land I know I saw the sign No accident, just purely by design I know I'm gonna fly When the wind comes up behind me, takes me high And there's little time to hang my head and cry Turn around or hesitate or wonder why - oh I passed by all the signs before Couldn't tell a brick wall From an open door But one sweet day, I'm gonna shine Pick up my pieces, gonna Take what's mine

about

Making predictions is almost always a bad idea. As a result, I've been rather airily saying "Yeah, I'm working on some new recordings" for about 17 years now. And here they are; only a little delayed.

The tunes on The Wind Horse were from quite a discrete phase of my life, written over 4 - 5 years and recorded over a (for me) short period of nine months. These tracks, by contrast, cover almost 17 years; some were recorded by Mark Atkins in 1995/6 during the same sessions as The Wind Horse, others I have done myself in the intervening years. Those were years that saw a lot of major realignments, the loss of both parents, changes of jobs, a lot of travelling, and 5 or 6 years when I scarcely played the guitar at all, followed by the realisation that it's one of the most important things in my life, and I can't not play it.

It's inevitable, therefore, that the tracks are rather more disparate. Some are rather raggedly-recorded, too. But proud I am of all of them, in one way or another, representing as they do an historical record of ideas and events.
