Faded To Nothing

 Gone are the years when I used to trust

Gone are the tears between the both of us

The distant memory of you and I

Has faded to nothing not even a sigh

No one ever told me that it would end

No one ever showed me that rules cant bend

We were never meant to be together

I should have known we wouldn't last forever

All good things come to an end

My enemies were once good friends

They decided when to cut and run

Just before the bullets and the smoking gun

Why ask friends there honest thoughts?

Why take sides, in a divorce court

Nothing in life can ever be that wrong

Karma will get you, whether weak or strong

Its easy for others to have there say

To turn a cheek and look the other way

Forever the cowards that always said

Let by gone's be by gone's put it to bed

So now it seems they sing a different song

Didn't take much no it didn't take long

If I knew then what I know now

I would have left the stage without taking a vow

All good things come to an end

My enemies were once good friends

They decided when to cut and run

Just before the bullets and the smoking gun

Gone are the years when I used to trust

Gone are the tears between the both of us

The distant memory of you and I

Has faded to nothing not even a sigh

So don't cry don't cry as the years roll by

Its faded to nothing as the years fly by

Yeah Faded to nothing as the years roll by

Faded to nothing but lets not cry

Yeah Faded to nothing as the years roll by

Roll By roll by la la la  Roll by roll by la la la

My one true regret (Nana Rose & Tom)

 My Grandad Tom was a giant among men

I could tell you his story again and again

He supported his wife and close family

From near the Blue Anchor in Bermondsey

He worked for Joe Sainsbury for many a year

Until a stroke and Parkinson's  cost him dear

After months in hospitals he died in pain

I was never able to visit again

He drove a yellow Cortina Ford Mark 1

Every Sunday he polished it till gleaming in the sun

They buried him in South London a paupers grave

I never knew that fact until today

The years have passed and time has flown by

But time cant erase the tears that I cry

My one true regret is allowing that time

To simply pass by it seems such a crime

My Nan died in 2 thousand and nine

She led me to believe his grave was just fine

I thought he was buried in West Norwood 

Never to find him which wasn't good

Circumstance has led me to where he lay

Now with my Nan but alone till this day

He had asked to see me as a last request

I was in care so not allowed I guess

The years have passed and time has flown by

But time cant erase the tears that I cry

My one true regret is allowing that time

To simply pass by it seems such a crime

Its been an age since nineteen seventy

He was 57 now younger than me

Tom was my grandad " My one true friend

He and I were close till a very sad end

My Nan and I fell out before she died

98 years old and still I cried

It was something trivial with bad words said

I said my piece so had made my bed

The years have passed and time has flown by

But time cant erase the tears that I cry

My one true regret is allowing that time

To simply pass by it seems such a crime

I stood by the Grave feeling so sad

I remember them both and the good times we had

We watched the sports and took a holiday

To little Spain down Selsey way

I cannot believe that it took so long

I really didn't imagine them in a sad song 

Tom was so strong, courageous and kind

Nana rose was tiny but mighty in mind

The years have passed and time has flown by

But time cant erase the tears that I cry

My one true regret is allowing that time

To simply pass by it seems such a crime

Rest in peace I love you so

Go hand in hand wherever you go

A love so pure will always be

Let it be let it be let it be let it be

Those special thoughts that set us free

A love so deep to you from me.

Future Man

 Orbiting in space on a mission to ride

Staring through portholes on the darker side

Exploring space heading for the Moon

But looking forward to getting home soon



All I seem to do is picture your smile

Its helping me go that extra mile

I collect data for the Master plan

A special instruction for the future man


Traveling through space and nowhere to hide

Staring at the stars on my starboard side

My latest Mission heading for the Moon

But looking forward to returning soon



From this orbit I see the Earth so blue

I just wanna get back to being with You

It may seem cool to be on this Vessel

But take it from me its nothing special



It seems all I do is picture your smile

Its helping me go that extra mile

I collect data for the Master plan

A special instruction for the future man



I'm working hard within this shell

But missing earth " I guess You can tell"

All this free falling and floating around

No Gravity here but still feelin down



Not sure how long "waiting for a sign"

Want to hear your voice "Cant get online"

I will try and call my loved ones later

If I can connect my Internets data



All I can do is picture your smile

Its helping me go that extra mile

Cosmic rock and outer space dust

A special mission succeed or bust


Isn't it funny when were together

We talk about nothing but the planets weather

When up here I never find the time

To speak about anything so sublime



I collect data for the Master plan

A special instruction for the future man

I work hard within this shell

Still missing earth " I guess You can tell"



So many times I lose all connection
Against the glass I see your reflection

Like a Mirror your face seems close to mine

The stars and your eyes continue to shine



Explorer control sends a last request

Head for Home "We are truly blessed"

Our Mission is done, only one thing to do

Collect your thoughts and gather the crew



Blast off for home and settle in

For one last night aboard this Tin

We may land in a stormy Sea

Just relax and put your mind at ease



All I can do is picture your smile

Getting back to earth "Its been a while"

Counting down from ten to 3 2 1 prepare for home

Our Missions Done

Record Shop Bop

 My favorite store, Called the Sound Machine

Listening to records, spinning like a dream

Memories were made with bitter sweet ideals

My love is like the music, let me tell ya how that feels

The girl of my dreams had walked in through the door

I could not take my eyes off her, never felt that way before

My first thought was to ask her out, but the words won’t come out

Struck speechless in the moment, What was that all about?

My senses were heightened, what spell did she cast

Her eyes were so clear, shining just like glass

The sound of her laughter sent me weak at the knees

Behind her lip glossed smile , was she tricking me?

My favorite store, Called the Sound Machine

Listening to records, spinning like a dream

Memories were made with bitter sweet ideals

My love is like the music, let me tell ya how that feels

Our fingers brushed against an album sleeve,

A movie-star moment I could hardly believe,

Our eyes met while selecting a song we adored

Holding hands while dancing on the record shop floor

She played records with rock, rhythm, and blues

I was tapping my fingers, she was tapping her shoes

Leaving the store with her records in hand

She left and walked away ! It was not what I planned

My favorite store, Called the Sound Machine

Listening to records, spinning like a dream

Memories were made with bitter sweet ideals

My love is like the music, let me tell ya how that feels

Our fingers had brushed against that record sleeve,

A movie-star moment I could not believe,

When our eyes met selecting singers we adore,

We fell over laughing on the record shop floor

So here’s to the memories where time stood still,

In that record shop moment oh what a thrill,

Every future record that I spin, I’ll forever wait for that beat to begin

Here’s to that memory where time stood still

Where she captured my heart, oh yeah what a thrill

I’m hoping that someday we’ll meet up and say

Lets enjoy the music and play to Buddy Holly's not fade away.

I'm gonna tell you "How its gonna be"

"Your gonna give your love to me"

Yeah your gonna give your love to me

Yeah your gonna give your love to me

Yeah your gonna give your love to me
