Turn off The Phone

 I don't need WIFI to talk to you

You live in my heart stuck forever like glue

The internet wont tell me what I need to say

No need to follow as with you today

Grinder date sites don't do it for us

Meet for a drink and not make a fuss

If the magic happens surely that is the key

Connecting with your personality

Lets down tools and turn off the phones

See what its like, just us all alone

Saying the things only we need to hear

A whisper a kiss keeping it sincere

Give me the latter days any old time

Lets make hay while the warm sun shines

Taking my girl out, enjoying a meal

Protecting her shoulders from the evening chill

Speed dating is dated and out of the question

Sending  occasions in the wrong direction

Strangers cant get to know you that quick

Unless they have magic and a special trick

Lets down tools and turn off the phones

Explore new places, just us all alone

Saying the things only we need to hear

A whisper a kiss keeping it sincere

We would go out to a pub or bar

Take a taxi home and ditch the car

People would meet and dance all night

And if you were lucky avoided a fight

So much more special than pressing your thumb

On an I pad or phone It seems so dumb

The atmosphere of a special place

Looking after my girl, stroke her hair and face

Lets down tools and turn off the phones

See what its like, just us all alone

Saying the things only we need to hear

A whisper a kiss keeping it sincere

Yeah honey so lets down tools

Just us two hearts keeping it cool

Enjoy a Hug yeah a squeeze and kiss

Just turn off that phone " It wont be missed"

Turn off the phone yeah turn it off

Your kisses are sweet your skin so soft

La la la la la la la la just you and I yeah all alone

La la la la la la la la  In a loving embrace yeah all alone

In a loving embrace yeah all alone

Humm babababababa hummmm babababababa hmmmmm yeah yeah yeah...

Sin & Zero

Always Sin forever zero

Never sweet not my hero

A darkness covers your fading light

The bleakest shadow in a deep dark night

Yeah you used to shine like a precious stone

But now just chill me to the bone

Always Sin forever zero

Never sweet not my hero

Once a pearl a florescent shell

Now a rusting hinge on the gates of hell

I could patiently wait for you to change

But your signal seems so out of range

Always Sin forever zero

Never sweet not my hero

A darkness covers your fading light

The bleakest shadow in a deep dark night

Your looking so grey "A frown so sad"

Once good loving has now turned bad

Sweet now sour, that luster now matt

That Persian Rug now threadbare and black

Once upon a time "You were my sun and moon"

But now you sing to a different tune

Always sin forever zero

Once so sweet and once my hero

Once a pearl a florescent shell

Now a rusting hinge on the gates of hell

I could patiently wait for you to change

But your signal seems so out of range

Yeah you used to shine like a precious stone

But now just chill me to the bone

Always Sin forever zero

Never sweet not my hero

Always Sin forever zero

Never sweet not my hero

Yeah never sweet no more my hero

Once so sweet now sin and zero

Sin and zero hmmmm hmmmm hmmmm

Once so sweet hmmmm hmmm hmmmm hmm 

Motel Note

 Where did you go ,? where are you bound?

You left me so silently never made a sound

I don’t know where you came from , I didn’t ask your name

Both strangers in town but both felt the same

I don’t know why I ordered that first drink

It didn't make me even or make me think

I only wanted to get someone off my mind

The girl I loved turned out the cheating kind

Then from across the bar you caught my eye

You sipped your drink and time slipped by

We sat chatting swopping sad stories

Hoping that the drink would erase past glories

We headed for the road to end our woes

Never thinking about future tomorrows

Our JD glided down so smoothly, The sweet taste took the bitter away

But our hearts were beating in rhythm and in that moment went astray

The sun is now creeping through the motel room

"Not sure what to think" Should be leaving soon 

I wish I knew where you came from but didn't even ask your name

We were two strangers meeting by chance, I wonder if you felt the same

I found the note on the pillow you left for me

Reading your words as you left early

I feel so guilty but totally free

“One day maybe if we ever meet up again"

We'll be more than drinking buddies and benefit friends “

I don’t know why I ordered that first drink

It didn't make me even or make me think

Where did you go ,? where are you bound?

You left me so silently never made a sound

Ba boom babababa baba bound

Boom bababababa boom ba bound you left me sleeping never made a sound

Bowl of Cherries

 Well, I believed you when you told me you loved me

Thought I had found a light inside to set me free

How could I be so naïve and be so believing?

You hid the truth from my open heart that you were stealing

The depths of darkness that you were concealing

Made yourself look completely alluring, "that’s the feeling"

You were attentive, attractive, and so considerate

As if I had been lifted straight from Satan's gate

How wrong I was before this moment today

When the love I thought was real has just been thrown away

You didn’t hurt me with a strike of your hands

The truth from your tongue on my ears did land

They said for years when I was young

One day truths would come from the slip of the tongue

But I didn’t think for just one second, oh no

That you’d be the one to break our bond, to let it go

At first, life was a bowl of cherries, sweet and bright

But now it feels like shadows creeping into the light

How wrong I was before this moment today

When the love I thought was real has just been thrown away

You didn’t hurt me with a strike of your hands

The truth from your tongue on my ears did land

At first, life was a bowl of cherries, sweet and ripe

But now it feels like shadows creeping into the night

I guess I’ll learn to heal, step into my own

Finding strength within the echoes of the love you’ve disowned

Life’s a lesson learned, even in the pain

From bowls of Sweet cherries, I’ll rise again

How wrong I was before this moment today

When the love I thought was real has just been thrown away

You didn’t hurt me with a strike of your hands

The truth from your tongue on my ears did land

Life’s a lesson learned, even in the pain

From bowls of Sweet cherries, I’ll rise again

Hmmmm  Hmmmmm I will rise again

Hmmmm  Hmmmmm yeah I will rise again

Favorite Song

 The radio was playing our favorite song,

You know that one that had us dancing along.
The sound was so sweet, it made my heart melt,
And I remember you telling me how you felt.


We danced like that night was the last time we’d meet,
You held me real close, made me feel so complete.
Both hoping that our song would never stop playing,
Endless lovers together, love always remaining.

So here’s to the nights that we held close and tight,
While our favorite song plays through the soft light

Wishing and hoping while we sing along

While Illusions of us still dance to our song

We were young and our hearts held no visible bounds,
We knew how we felt, hurtful words held no sound.
Friends and relations said that we wouldn’t last,
Words that now echo in shadows long past.


With our hearts boundless love, we rose from the depths,
Of all the rough seas that the world had to send.
We walked on the paths where bright lights ascend,
Mending the bridges where the darkness descends

So here’s to the nights that we held close and tight,
While our favorite song plays through the soft light

Wishing and hoping while we sing along

While Illusions of us still dance to our song

Now my heart aches as I’m listening alone,
Sending shivers throughout every bone.
I’m lost in the memory of our last day together,
I can’t be with you now, but it won’t be forever.


Just wait patiently for me to join you again,
When we’ll dance together as only we can.
Bound together again, never more to part,
When Heaven’s gate opens, our new life will start.


So here’s to the nights that we held close and tight,
When our favorite song played through the soft light.
No matter the distance, no matter the time,
Our hearts will find a way; our love is sublime.

So here’s to the nights that we held close and tight,
While our favorite song plays through the soft light

Wishing and hoping while we sing along

While Illusions of us still dance to our song

Old Time sake

 Going back over so many old songs

Putting things right that always seemed to go wrong

Being there instead of running away

Turning rain into a sunnier day

Going back over hard old times

Fixing broken hearts while solving real crimes

Standing here and staying where I'm put

Not shooting myself in the left or right foot

I should give up instead of arguing

Cave in to buying that engagement ring

Gracefully saying sorry to you

Fixing feelings with emotional glue

These are the actions of a well worn man

So listen up and here me while you can

I'm not into surrendering

just play for me and let me here you sing

One more time for old times sake

Play something easy "what would it take?

To sing for me with meaningful words

Something new that I've never heard

Take me back over to those old times

Filling in the cracks with emotional rhymes

Putting things right that no longer seem wrong

Pick up that guitar and let me here those songs

These are the actions of a well worn man

So listen up and here me while you can

I'm not into surrendering

So play for me and let me here you sing

Going back over hard old times

Fixing broken hearts while solving real crimes

Standing here and staying where I'm put

Not shooting myself in the left or right foot

One more time for old times sake

Play something easy "what would it take?

To sing for me with meaningful words

Something new that I've never heard

Do you remember that really cool song

The one you wrote that didn't take long

It came to you on the late night bus

When we were together "Just the two of us"

Yeah yeah yeah yeah on the late night bus

Oh yeah oh yeah just the two of us

Hmmmmm Hmmmmm Hmmmmm

Oh yeah oh yeah on the late night bus

You and me just the two of us

Punting

 Punting down the river yeah down the river Thames

I aint got no boat though as have different aims

Aiming to find me some cockney jellied eels

Catching em with the Ealing Club, I'll tell you how that feels

Westminster Pier with me uncle Chad

He aint no fisherman but he is quite the lad

He punches people up the throat while popping lots of pills

And he likes to play some bridge while eating jellied eels

I say I say I say what's that in your sky rocket

Oh that's just me Rod "I keep it in my pocket"

Gosh it looks enormous " Must be a bloomin pain"

It can be handy though when Eeling in the rain 

Pie n mash pie n mash earn and spend a little cash

Buy some rizla roll your own

One handed trick while on the phone

Punting down the River Trent

North of Watford far from Kent

We poach some Salmon and local trout

While having a beer and Rolling snout

I say I say I say what's that in your sky rocket

Oh that's just me Rod "I keep it in my pocket"

Gosh it looks enormous " Must be a blooming pain"

It can be handy though when Eeling in the rain 

I say I say I say what's your bleeding game?

What's that hanging from your belt? Is it what's his name?

Its just me rod " I tend to wear it all the time"

I use it while I'm Punting Along the Ealing Line

Punting down the river yeah down the river Thames

I aint got no boat though as have different aims

Aiming to find me some cockney jellied eels

Catching em with the Ealing Club, I'll tell you how that feels

So what ya doing later? Are you out with Maive

Down at the coach and horses or staying in your cave

We aint decided yet as depends on how we feel

After a day out punting and catching Jellied Eels
