Looking Glass

 Like a Ship that sails through the looking glass

Or Books that open into the past

We wander through from life to death

We spend the money till nothing left


Children running through the wild

Doors are bolted while windows barred

Freedom arrives but at a price

Have you enough? "then throw the dice"


Like it or not those days are gone

So buckle up and soldier on

Believe in Alice and the looking glass

For all weird things will come to pass


Choose every day which path to take

The hungry heart or the perfect steak

Getting old while you stay young

Seems your path has only just begun


Bite your lip or swallow the truth

Do it now while in your youth

For you will find its too late one day

and all your offspring will have a say


Like it or not those days are gone

So buckle up and soldier on

Believe in Alice and the looking glass

For all weird things will come to pass


Young or old, rich or poor

Fight the fight again once more

Be the one who steers the boat

The captain of courage who keeps it afloat


Were heading upwards toward the Sun

Its time to join in the pilgrims fun

You know you have been there before

But this time your rowing away from the shore


Like it or not those days are gone

So buckle up and soldier on

Believe in Alice and the looking glass

For all weird things will come to pass


Your government may plan and scheme

They are out to ruin all your dreams

Are you scared? and do you not care

Then bide your time at life's fun fair


Laugh out loud and have that fun

In a world where its banned for everyone

Yeah laugh out loud and have your fun

This party for us has just begun


Like it or not those days are gone

So buckle up and soldier on

Believe in Alice and the looking glass

For all weird things will come to pass


Life is for living and dying at best

The generation game no less

I really wish we could keep score

On all the evil at my door


This song is meant to make you think

This song will make you turn to drink

Another round barman the regulars shout

Before the lefties turn us out


Like it or not those days are gone

So buckle up and soldier on

Believe in Alice and the looking glass

For all weird things will come to pass


Believe in Alice and the looking glass

For all weird things will come to pass




Doo wop love

 Doo wop a diddy diddy do wop a doo 

Doo wop a diddy diddy do wop a doo

Oh Nicki Your Love came at a time

Just as my song had started to rhyme

every time I have a thought of you

I sing Doo wop a diddy diddy do wop a doo


Wo oh wo oh Your my hero

Your love hit me like cupids arrow

You made an old heartache drift away

So now I Doo wop a diddy diddy every day


You took my life and turned it around

Turning my frown upside down

Now I have an extra wide smile

Singing Doo wop a diddy diddy every mile


This love we share is ours to keep

So glad we took this lovers leap

Nicki my heart will always be yours

Doo wop a diddy diddy always on tours


Forget the past and the blues 

While captured by our lovers rules

Doo wop a diddy diddy always yours


Out in the country, drivin the car

staying local or travelling far

We sing our songs while going real fast

Then slow down so the best songs last


We go Doo wop a diddy diddy doo wop a doo

Just us together yeah just Me and You

We Sing Do wop a diddy diddy Doo wop a doo

Along with the Magpies we salute to


We will continue to ride our gravy train

And Doo wop a diddy diddy over again

We will stay together until the end of time

Doo wop a diddy diddy one more time


Doo wop a diddy diddy do wop a doo 

Doo wop a diddy diddy do wop a doo

Oh Nicki Your Love came at a time

Just as my song had started to rhyme


Doo wop a diddy diddy do wop a doo

Doo wop a diddy diddy just us two

Just us two together yeah just us two

Just us two together yeah just us two

Just us two together yeah just us two

Reflections

 My soul suddenly turned inside out

When I recognized You "There was no doubt"

My life flashed before my eyes

As I remembered You and our last goodbye


Your Face and smile familiar to me

Your hair now silver " Beautiful to Me"

Feelings have mellowed over the years

I react with a smile and then with a tear


You have nothing to gain after so much time

Our lives have been lived " You were out of my mind"

Now standing on the beach where we once stood

Not wishing or hoping as its not good


I knew I loved you way back then

We were young and innocent school day friends

Keeping us secret You arranged blind dates

I told my mother we were just mates


I could only arrange a meet from distance

You became a purpose of my existence


I recalled our meetings at the park

Where cupids arrow would hit its mark

The tip was sharp and missed you completely

Instead it rebounded and surely hit me


You have nothing to gain after so much time

Our lives have been lived " You were out of my mind"

Now standing on the beach where we once stood

Not wishing or hoping as its not good


My passion for you grew so much stronger

And over long months i would wonder

If you would think of me as so much more

Not just the neighbor living next door


Remembering those long summer days

The afternoon glow and evening haze

Surfing the waves at Miami beach

You riding that board in sizzling heat


When fun in the sun came to an end

I waved you goodbye and so long friend

Realizing our hearts were not as one

The time of our lives surely are done


Too much water under the bridge

Too much of a breeze over the ridge

We are so much older now

No turning of tide or time somehow


So asking if this was surely a sign

I would have to say No it seems such a crime

Trying to catch up or taking steps back

Is not for me and going off track


You have nothing to gain after so much time

Our lives have been lived " You were out of my mind"

Now standing on the beach where we once stood

Not wishing or hoping as its not good


The moment that you noticed Me

Your face and smile set my heart free

We are so much older now

Can not engage no way anyhow


Wishing and hoping to re-ignite

Its too late now to lighten my life

We could  arrange a meet from distance

To become a purpose of our existence


See You later if you stick around

Its nice to see you back in this town






Guess again

 Asking Me why I'm calling you out

The reason  and what its all about

Well Mister You can do no wrong

Seems obvious so I wrote a song


Can You cast your mind back Jack?

to just last week when you were in your shack

Give it a shot try the answer I seek

Not long ago "Its only been a week"


Can you remember the day or even the time

"It wont cost you " Just give me a sign


Its something physical that's causing pain

Guess if you want then guess again

I could give you a clue if your struggling

Alarm bells by now may be ringing


On my way home from work I spotted your car

Outside the local Buffalo Bar

I pulled over and thought I just might

Invite myself in for a coke or sprite


I parked up the car and lo and behold

What did I witness about to unfold

It was something physical that caused me pain

"Guess if you want" then guess again


Can You cast your mind back a little Jack?

to just last week when you were in the sack

Give it a shot try the answer I seek

Not long ago "Its only been a week"


You came out of the bar and I ducked down

You were with my Gal like she were new in town

Let me remind you of how it looked

When you stepped outside onto the sidewalk


I sat still and could not believe

You would steal my girl "You small town thief!

Are you getting the picture now urgh Jack?

Is your memory jogged? Are you getting it back?


Its something physical that's causing pain

Guess if you want then guess again

I could give you a clue if your struggling

Alarm bells by now may be ringing


I followed your Car until you came to a stop

To your holiday home "A Beauty Spot"

It didn't take long for you take her inside

Did she love the sex"? Did you enjoy the ride?


I will let you in to a little secret

My honey cried and will always regret

When I asked her where she had been that day

She could not lie and told me anyway


So I'm gonna ask you one last time

You can come clean and I'll forget it this time

But if you choose not to guess again

I'm calling you out as you aint my friend


We can go outside and settle this

A handshake promise or My Fist

I don't really care how this predicament goes

You can buy me a drink or some heavy blows


So I'm gonna ask you one last time

You can come clean and I'll forget it this time

But if you choose not to guess it again

I'm calling you out as you aint my friend


Yeah calling you out so Guess again

Calling You out so guess again 

calling you out so guess again

Tides of Thunder & Lightning

 Deep blue thunder, bright white lightning,

Sisters by my side, always uniting.


On the edge of chaos, where the storms collide,
We danced through the dark, never had to hide.
Sisters bond is stronger than a brothers call to arms,
Fussing and fighting just showed our charms.
But underneath the heartache, love ran deep,
In the silence of nights, secrets we’d keep.


Oh, deep blue thunder, call to my soul,
Bright white lightning, you made me whole.
We were warriors in the night, no need for a fight,
Sisters, our bond is the beacon of light.


She was my rock, my fortress, my guide,
In a world so loud, she was my quiet side.
Held my hand through the storms, never let me break,
In life's raging ocean, it was love we’d make.
From whispers to laughter, we shared every sigh,
With her by my side, we could always fly high.


Oh, deep blue thunder, call to my soul,
Bright white lightning, you made me whole.
We were warriors in the night, no need for a fight,
Sisters, our bond is the beacon of light.


Now she’s the tide that swims to the shore,
The sun that shines through my window door.
The wind that brushes past with memories near,
I miss her now, she’s not here anymore.
She was the echo of laughter in my heart's embrace,
A rhythm that dances in every empty space.


We were lost in the moments, time slipping away,
Every glance, every smile, just brightened our day.
Together we conquered, with dreams so bold,
In the tales of our youth, like stories told.
Through deep blue thunder, with bright white light,
We soared on the wings of each magical night.


Oh, deep blue thunder, call to my soul,
Bright white lightning, you made me whole.
We were warriors in the night, no need for a fight,
Sisters, our bond is the beacon of light.


So when I feel lonely, I’ll look to the sky,
For deep blue thunder, the bright white high.
She lives in my heart, where love never fades,
In the dance of the tides, our bond serenades.
With every wave crashing, every tide that pulls,
I’ll cherish her spirit, forever it rules.

Rock n Roll Code

 Little pink houses for you and me. 

Johnny Cougar land of the free.

Squeeze up The Junction and Thunder road

Try and decipher my rock n Roll code

45's that make me still feel young
Ever since the 50s when Rock begun
55 was magic and special for Me
As I was born before a Juke Box jury

Push your coin into the slot
What shall we play "Their seems a lot"
So which number shall I choose
Maybe Ray singing born to lose

Little pink houses for you and me. 

Johnny Cougar land of the free.

Squeeze up The Junction and Thunder road

Try and decipher my rock n Roll code

The Everly's Great Harmonies
Little Richard with Tutti Frutti
In 55 so many greats
pledging my love to Johnny Ace

Johnny be good I here you say
Maybelline maybe going your way
Take a look to see what's under the Hood
Chuck is playing Johnny B. Good

Little pink houses for you and me. 

Johnny Cougar land of the free.

Squeeze up The Junction and Thunder road

Try and decipher my rock n Roll code

Elvis sang that's alright
A big hunk of love and just one night
Bill Hailey rocked us around the clock
Connie Francis the queen of the frock

Some may ask "How the hell?
I remember the tunes and words so well
I have just one thing to say
The radio was on every single day

Little pink houses for you and me. 

Johnny Cougar land of the free.

Squeeze up The Junction and Thunder road

Try and decipher my rock n Roll code

I could go on and on and on
Take request for all your songs
I could recite every single line
Of every song of all time

Little pink houses for you and me. 

Johnny Cougar land of the free.

Squeeze up The Junction and Thunder road

Try and decipher my rock n Roll code
