Get a life 04:35
Walking round alone upon my moon From your star you hope to see me soon Would I fire with my nimrod gun Flashing flames make my life much more fun Papers riddled with the same old face Make believe they are the human race Pranking pranks who really gives a dam I’ll just twat the cosy cowell clan Theres no point in all conforming We won’t last another day Everybody can be boring!! Take my spade and play on saturns sun Nasty fumes intoxicate my lungs Kick a ball around the milky way Looking round I know I’ll have my day Cracking fireworks October night Thoughts of many occupy my mind Can the heart accept another blow If its no well then I’ll have to go We can carry on ignoring Fire you passion with my game Run the light this is your calling……… GET A LIFE!!!!!!

you gotta give me something to get me outta strife I look upon your world but you put in the knife All the canals that move of twisted DNA must go and straighten out to clear all the haze How far to stretch the feeling, the writings on the wall Just feel the inner you and answer all that call And when the blackness comes you know its all a fake Just follow hallworth’s path and get them all to take…. Your strong you are the one, now your strong so be the one come on You’ve got to beat this one, baby can't we beat this one alone You’ve been the other one, now your not some other one You dance you feel the heat, but everyones not out to beat You to a lesser one, be yourself and you will come along Shall I take you away There seems so much here for you to take Won’t you take me away There’s too much here, but not enough here You’ve been the other one, now your not some other one You dance you feel the heat, but everyones not out to beat You to a lesser one, be yourself and you will come along The brightness/The blackness

Follow lights from the shore Twisting with our feelings Lost, if we never feel alive Take a chance and realise Hidden words describe watching worlds collide. Take fate to Sennen beach Hoping minds repeat Stand up for ourselves others step in our way today... always people we want to disguise They’ll try stop us, if only they realise, We want to feel alive In Skewjack paradise.... Woven.....chemistry, chemistry Comes along, fuels identities today Fantasies Skewjack paradise Urban eyes, fade away yes, they make the most of this and every day Find your way Destinations....go out of control Never left on our own We stood on fine lines You’re got to find us with you and me We’re stopping time, stopping time Combining signs Yeh, Immortalise Our Skewjack paradise Intensified.....our destiny inside

Pauline 03:01
Always embellish you Wasn’t the one to choose, bring you along It’s come and gone If it’s not me it’s you’ll It’s you’ll who come and choose I’ll bring you along Sing my song You were there making my life Striving me to get it right missed the in between You’ve always been t here for me Pauline If it was going wrong You’d hold my hand make me feel strong Comfort me, I felt free You always watched what I did Closed your eyes when I hid, promise not to kid Sing my song You made me what I can be Everybody stole when you could see You promised what you believed We all belong You made me strong Sing my song You made me strong

Singing down an old spray can In your dressing gown You were made to be a star Throw the cat out of the bag Burst forth there's life now to be had Shed that greyscale copy chorus (Pretend) reality its not so good Live out another verse of sorts You hum I'll play out all my thoughts Record and pause create a demo I've got a little humour and style In time it's what you need that gets you by ( But something’s going to change me Chorus Autopilot on Type, copy, paste delete it's gone File it under "stop I'm done" Colour me in There's more to life In time it's what you need that gets you by chorus

Lift up you guns and get out Livin all these crimes don’t make me bad Look at my ma see her shine She’ll have you round for tea and pour the best wine Could I have been you instead Waking with boredom in my head Not able to cop of with any whore The closest is your spag bol once more Leave that gun and take the cannaloni now “Sleep with the fishes” is not a water rhyme Desperation is like stealing from the Mafia Its all in the script but can all go wrong Take that gun and leave the cannaloni now Give me pin stripes and put my trilbee on Satisfaction is stealing with the mafia Its not in the script but we all are strong If you’re a gangster who’s out on a date Try not to get shot before after 8 A friend of mine’s a friend of yours But who’s that friend of his behind closed doors Say hello to my little friend When I thought I was out they pulled me back in Sammy bull and tommy machine gun Can it all be real or is it fun Leave that gun and take the cannaloni now “Sleep with the fishes” is not a water rhyme Desperation is like stealing from the Mafia Its all in the script but can all go wrong Take that gun and leave the cannaloni now Give me pin stripes and put my trilbee on Satisfaction is stealing with the mafia Its not in the script but we all are strong

Master Key 04:51
Clocks tick around reminding me Life is passing by too randomly Breeze bricks on the outside, searching for the sun Now begin Footprints in the snow, pretend it wasn’t you I’ll come on over so much I wanna do Call it out So much I wanna do Call it out Belive in what you’ve been to me Would I know, the things I know Without you Its true This is now calling out spinning out Running out of time Rolling out calling out spinning into rhyme Rolling out calling out life of living free Master key This is now calling out spinning out running out of time This is how rolling out falling out spinning into rhyme Were calling out Sanctuary Master key Now lets make this a fixture more than boy meets a girl You complete my picture and paint a better world Knowing We will coalesce Hoping Now lets make this a fixture more than boy meets a girl You complete my picture and paint a better world Knowing We will Acquiesce hoping Don’t look backwards looking forwards There’s only you and me Lookin forwards now its here Don’t look back running forwards Love might just appear Believe in. hoping This is now calling out spinning out Running out of time This is how rolling out calling out spinning into rhyte We are now Rolling out calling out life of licing free Master key This is now calling out spinning out running out of time rolling out falling out spinning into rhyme Were calling out Sanctuary Master key We’re calling out Sanctuary Master key

You had a taste of what i wanted throw some up the fence to me You got the place and you had it coming everything inside you screams Let go, fighting with the devil or rocking out a rhythm with me So get it on, strip yourself naked and light the red torch for me Chorus You sold me a life of pure fantasy Devil's armour bleeds pierced with love in me You told me, nothing as clear as a stain glass window but you know me A fight on either shoulder baby A fight within me You took the pain out on the outsiders I don't know what that's doing to me A battle fought, Good verses Evil is their ever any winner to see? Its on the back road, back road baby to chase it is a futile cause i'll take you on, see you on the outside until you ravage me to the bone then you will be alone Chorus BUILD Bring it on bring it on baby X3 Bring it on bring it on for me now Bring it on yeah

Everything 05:26
Is it rain or pitter patter of your footsteps again? IN May, its still the winter months, how insane! Delight, Inane Whats the same? My thoughts are turning as we see, everything what force determines how we see everything hold nights alone and will i see, everything inspire and trust shall let it be, everything Is it sun, or the blasting of an oven, reset? Step away, information bui;lding brick by brick, don't replay My thoughts are turning as we see, everything what force determines how we see everything hold nights alone and will i see, everything inspire and trust shall let it be, everything Times can change, That's your pain my thoughts are turning as we see, everything the force determines how we see, everything hold nights alone and you will see, everything inspire and trust then let it be,everthing

Movin on 02:50
Said something into his head, he didn't know what's right All the lies come naturally, he said "you were wrong" Everytime he bought a gift, he expected a room a light I just sit inside my bed, Was i right? A speaking man with all the chance to say "I need something" Threw it away with a saying that i can't write. See my talking outright I'll be there tonight See me on the side Well i'll be there tonight You don't have any other way to keep things under wraps it was all in his head so he said, Good night Looking out one summers morn with a cricket bat in his hand Botham, lamb and all the rest I had might Then he came out to the boy he said "you havent got your whites" Well done Dad it will now be called another day to fight Here's a man with a chance to say it didn't matter Go on son have the game of your life See my talking outright I'll be there tonight See me on the side Well i'll be there tonight You don't have any other way to keep me under wraps it was all in his head so he said, Good night Then later on i let my feelings out This thing has gone on far too long From someone else's eyes i said You now have no rights See my talking outright I'll be there tonight See me on the side Well i'll be there tonight You don't have any other way to keep me under wraps it was all in your head so I said, Goodbye

Wake up gene don’t you cry you got a carbon bullet in your eye Ice cubes never melt As we justify our wealth The crusty winners grab the soul within us as we slob onto something else Electric pylon sun Diminished summer fun The rain ain’t stopping the rain ain’t stopping Don’t you wish that you were your Mum Wake up world don’t you cry You got a carbon bullet in your eye Stunted growth that never helps When you reach for the whisky shelf But there’s no worries we still got honeys who can peer above my belt What on earth’s gone wrong When a squirrel sings this song Houses sinking and badgers singing We’ll be robots before long chorus

The Zodiac 04:41
If you’re dancing on a loose one Then get out and get a good one Can I leave it on the pavement Don’t you do me any favoursI No one ever mess with me , no one ever mess with me Meet me here me friend If you feel your gonna break up In the morning when you wake up And you feeling like a drive by but the street is full of their spies and your ready now to freak out but look inside and you will see some life you let it go somehow let it go somehow get in there right now you know you’ve got it and you need it dance away the webs ands you will feel it rockin to the steps of jackos beat it get yourself a gin as you will need it dance yourself away just as you see fit lady on your arm you ask is she fit get it on you know we need a remix this is all we need we got it all!!!!! Now you leave and head for downtown And your chino jeans are dirt brown But you stand amongst the prestine Is she really just a dance queen Len Goodman bruno T its not The scene is set for all you need right now Where is she my friend, is she known as Ben Take me to the end CHORUS

more & more Lost without them some now, believe in us so show what you’ll do..... and where we’re going to... Meant what they’re saying, Regret how it’s playing out, more & more, edge hear, you call. Succumb, we evolve from halves, now deal wholes. Pretty people always heard, Listen to other words. hands on hearts sets, us apart.... Kick up a storm more & more Green gills intimate drawn faces contemplate, dictate what was seen, through it all. Succumb, we evolve from halves, now deal wholes. Pretty people always heard, Listen to other words. hands on hearts sets, us apart.... Away from the norm, sniff fools gold standing tall we'll Kick up a storm more & more Bring you along, bring it on Feel bonds, more & more No alibis, just stretch my mind, hypnotise more and more Succumb, we evolve from halves, now deal wholes. Pretty people always heard, Listen to other words. Away from the norm sniff fools gold standing tall more & more. Bring us along, bring it on feel bonds, standing tall, Only ones alive borrowing time make it ours once more Bring us along, bring it on Feel bonds standing tall only ones alive, borrowing time make it ours you’re making it mine more & more

Turn off nothing to see You got nothing to see take each stepping stone I'm not blind can't you see I said cry fools, broken home but no rules when its your own Pressure cooked exterior, Is this death by media?? Please look, give in to see crash and burn to please take your dissonant tone the same cliched moan Why you, why you dance and hide from true romance you got a Pressure cooked exterior, Is this death by media?? Then i read what you're said to be a fiery burning train to calamity but they all ignore the gentle touching soul no one to tell you how to deal with your truth You meant something to me You meant something to me You meant something to me You'd have it solved this time You'd have it solved here in this time or is it in my mind a broken smile still shines the light You'd have it solved this time You'd have it solved here in this time or is it in my mind a broken smile still shines the light

Three little bears shouting over me Why are you looking up a zeppelin tree Anyway that you love your bear Will surely drop a zuber if bodo seld cared Three little bears playing with a cow You get a over zealous feeling now Hybrid walls? What is all this shite Its Charlie at the windscreen Charlie at the windscreen Charlie went to see what’s wrong with you then Charlie went to sleep in front of you Charlie lost his face while helping bears today With their Botanic display!!!! Three blind mice running into walls Humpty dumpty is shattering walls Jack and jill doing naughty things To make it thru a school day till the bell rings Jackass john shmoozes every lass With a metal cane stuck up his ass Wonders why he trips up and says Its jonny on the big screen jonny on the big screen Jonny tells the world how great he is While standing in his own unrivalled piss Jonny tells the class “yes I am great” While everyone around him full of hate Charlie went to see what’s wrong with you then Charlie went to sleep in front of you Charlie lost his face while helping bears today With their Botanic display!!!!

about

This album is part 1 of a double album. This part is purposefully full of up beat rock songs. I realised i had never released a genre specific album and that is because i hate pigeon holing any type of music.
However, I wanted the art of living to be a release encompassing both rock and melodic songs. When i realised i have so many songs i want to get out there the project turned into a double album.
The art of living is something we all need to learn everyday, which is enjoying and rejoicing in the present moment and this relates to how music makes you feel and why every single person has music in their life. I love rock, pop, dance, melodic, classical, harmonies and so much more but i can't explain why i love it. It all comes from within

I also have 7 written collaborations on this album with some amazing artists as a few collaborations with other musicians playing on my songs. So turn it up loud and enjoy some outright variety rock!!

The themes range from songs about the art of living in the modern world through songs about the mafia, cornish surf getaways , The Zodiac club and even my Mum.

So I want to thank everybody who has supported me in this and continues to show an interest and give encouragement to myself and other musicians who struggle on a budget of Zero to make and produce meaningful music.
