I am a man that cheats the seasons I hate the cold because I'm getting old Don't wanna sit around just sneezing I do love to cheat the seasons I want the sun i want to have some fun I don't need my buts a-freezing I hate the cold winter and i hate the rain I Don't wanna see another cold season again, I'm gone The cold grey skies are all the same I'm gonna fly off in an aeroplane, I'm gone You poor folks can keep the cold Where i come from you just don't be told Get away from ice and rain Fly out on an aeroplane Don't leave it late no, just don't hesitate Have yourself a lot of fun I hate the cold winter and i hate the rain I Don't wanna see another cold season again, I'm gone The cold grey skies are all the same I'm gonna fly off in an aeroplane, I'm gone You know that it ain’t a treason To find a vacation to try to squeeze in Try European, Korean, Aegean Now you could go to the Caribbean You'll love that rich gastronomy Your spend is good for their economy Helping people to get by I hate the cold winter and i hate the rain I Don't wanna see another cold season again, I'm gone The cold grey skies are all the same I'm gonna fly off in an aeroplane, I'm gone Where theres a lot more daylight hours And your garden there is simply full of flowers You're gonna be a long time in your grave I hate the cold winter and i hate the rain I Don't wanna see another cold season again, I'm gone I hate the cold winter and i hate the rain I Don't wanna see another cold season again, I'm gone

Laying in the Texas sun, cool beer, having fun I wanna be the one to spend my day Lazin’ and a-fishin’ in the Colorado River All the way to Matagorda Bay. You can keep your Mississippi you Yampa River Hippy Missouri don’t do nothin’ for me Estoy no contento in the river Sacramento There ain’t nothin’ to see Ohio is for losers, Tennessee for boozers Shenandoah runs way too slow Apalachicola, a place I never told ya Is nowhere I ever wanna go Laying in the Texas sun, cool beer, having fun I wanna be the one to spend my day Lazin’ & a Fishin’ in the Colorado River All the way to Matagorda Bay.

The Good Times Were to Come 05:02
lyrics
buy track
When they first met, on that dark and fateful night, She had the feeling, something just wasn't right, But It's hard to know the score with no writing on the wall, All that he knew, was that the good times were to come. Anticipation can be the highest high of all, The anticipation of elation, was the high that made the call, He didn't know the score as he broke into her door, All he knew, was that good times were to come. She hears the noises in the night Laying still too scared to switch the light, She couldn't know she'd been randomly picked for his games, He couldn't know about the knife that she hid by her bed. The room went silent as reached down to the knife, She knew she'd have to act now or regret it all her life, But it's hard to know what's right, when everything's so wrong, All she knew, was that the good times were all done So much planning so much time, knowing soon that he would cross the line. Fantasising, living through and dreaming of this night but then planning is the key to the art of escape and staying free the final chapter of a long and terrible beautiful fantasy She lay there silent and still in the night time Crying, wondering what the hell did i do Why the hell did he choose me I don't get it I don't see Every thing has changed this night for me When they first met, on that dark and fateful night, She had the feeling, something just wasn't right, But It's hard to know the score with no writing on the wall, All that he knew, was that the good times were to come. All that he knew, was that the good times were to come.

I Hate my Neighbour 03:44
lyrics

My next door neighbour’s been to places, I’ve never been His wife has one of the ugliest faces, I’ve ever seen They got a smarmy son & daughter And a dog I’d like to slaughter And on the wall there is a picture of the Queen Well here’s the story the bloke’s a tory He’s got a double barrelled name and a medal for some glory And every morning He shouts a warning ‘OY Keep away from my house and car or you will be sorry There’s a scruffy so in so in the house next door… He makes me sick With the grottiest rabble of dirty friends you could ever pick His girlfriend’s bosom flopping Tattoos & laddered stockings And a voice just like EastEnders in the nick I hate my neighbour, He voted labour I wish he’d move away from here do us all a favour And in the evening They’re always screaming Keep me wide awake at night when I should be dreaming I don't understand how people like that can afford to live around here, I mean look at them, they're all scruffy, uncouth, not one good egg in the box. If I had my way, they'd be sent to the council houses on the other side of town! Tosser, ingrate, Tosser, ingrate, Tosser, ingrate He’s got a sports car I don’t know what for Except to clean it on the weekend and drive it to the local Golf Course He works in banking, Yeah he’s a banker In my opinion the profession of total wankers. What, how dare you, do you know, I belong to the local PTA. I'm a very important man in this area, educated at Eton and look at me now for heavens sake living next door to this total waster. I've worked hard all of my life, those people next door living off the state. I don't know what this world is coming too I really don't.

Chaos 03:16
lyrics

I’ve made hard decisions, all based on little fact, I’ve seen new divisions all based on lack of tact, I’ve been playing hardball when the ball is out of play, I can tell you as a fact, that night is day, It’s time to get these things right when wrong is all I see, I see chaos all around me Chaos, Chaos, Chaos, Chaos, Chaos, Chaos, Chaos, Chaos, We’ve seen politicians lie and cheat and win, While people using food banks, suffer for their sins, We get fooled by corporations that advertise cheap food, While fat malnourished children, suffer life at school, It’s hard to get these things right when everything so wrong, We see chaos all around us. Chaos, Chaos, Chaos, Chaos, Chaos, Chaos, Chaos, Chaos, A message from Boris You’ve heard the spin from Cum man, all twisting up the facts, You’ve heard the hate from Blowjob, concerning skin that’s black, You’ve seen your country descend from great respect to joke, So drink you little alcohol and sniff your line of coke, It’s hard to get yourself out of bed when everything’s so wrong, You see chaos all around you. Chaos, Chaos, Chaos, Chaos, Chaos, Chaos, Chaos, Chaos,

Disposable Celebrity 05:57

It’s all about the singer not about the song But it doesn’t really matter cos they won’t be round for long Making music to create an atmosphere Pre-Programmed sample loops made by clever engineers It's all about the image not the tune, You get to wear designer clothes and lounge about, all afternoon While the cameras capture all of your delights, And blemishes are photoshopped to make you look just right Forgotten by tomorrow, so enjoy your month of fame, Disposable celebrity, society takes the blame, They love you and adore you, you're this seasons greatest draw Downloaded and revered online, then discarded as you fall Play me a melody, oh play a good song Where the words are the remedy and the chords move my soul It's all about the singer not the song, A taste of good life, thats when it all goes wrong While the next celebrity is being made, The last trend is discarded and celebrity will fade Forgotten by tomorrow, so enjoy your month of fame, Disposable celebrity, society takes the blame, They love you and adore you, you're this seasons greatest draw Downloaded and revered online, then discarded as you fall They can make you sound great, with awesome pitch control But your lyrics, suck my friend coz they got no fuckin' soul So dance around you moron, and pretend it's rock 'n' roll But it ain't So share it with your family and your friends, how you became a star and how the story ends You thought you had the whole world at your feet, but no-one recognises you as you walk along the street, Forgotten by tomorrow, so enjoy your month of fame, Disposable celebrity, society takes the blame, They love you and adore you, you're this seasons greatest draw Downloaded and revered online, then discarded as you fall Play me a melody, oh play a good song Where the words are the remedy and the chords move my soul Reprise Play me a melody, oh play a good song Where the words are the remedy and the chords move my soul

Just wanna have a good time, like anyone else I coasted through school never acting the fool I treated my parents like nobody's fool Then I thought I'd escaped, I'd be out with new mates You must be joking right? Just wanna have a good time, like anyone else? Going to Uni's supposed to be cool Girls in my room and the bar and the pool Now I know how fate can be so cruel Because of lockdown, right? Just wanna have a good time, like anyone else? I've been waiting all of my life for this moment, to come Now I sit here locked in my room, I've been done! Just wanna have a good time, like anyone else? You want me to stay outa sight, dinner for one on a Saturday night No one here for me to invite, you must be joking Right? Just wanna have a good time, like anyone else? You want me to stay outa sight, dinner for one on a Saturday night No one here for me to invite, you must be joking Right?

It might be late but I feel fine Got my life ahead Hangin’ with a friend of mine Really good in bed. Studying for my degree, When I feel inclined Enjoy my life incredibly, See what I can find Girls come from everywhere, Party till Dawn I don’t mind if I'm up all night I'll be sleepin’ on the lawn Drive my Mercedes Benz, To the liquor store Get my friends along tonight they’ll be knockin’ at my door My old man he’s C E O, And he’s stinkin’ rich He screws with his secretary, She’s a dirty bitch Mum don’t know and I don’t care, Do you think I’m hard Spend his money all day long, pays my credit card Girls come from everywhere, Party till Dawn I don’t mind if I'm up all night I'll be sleepin’ on the lawn Drive my Mercedes Benz, To the liquor store Get my friends along tonight they’ll be knockin’ at my door My life's great, I'm untouchable, my old mans money makes me cool. I know that, you can't relate, but I'll never be you, you poor fool. Saw Pa this morning, For a coffee & chat This bad behaviour, Had enough of that Dad you’re dead right, I really do agree So please tell mum, You’ll get a new secretary Daddy’s back in Bangalore, Another business trip Sleeping with that dirty whore, No need to bite my lip Mum has taken to the gym, I whispered in her ear A fitness trainer called Big Jim, Now she gets her share Girls come from everywhere, Party till Dawn I don’t get my rest by night so I’m sleepin’ on the lawn Drive my Mercedes Benz, To the liquor store Get my friends along tonight they’ll be knockin’ at my door My life's great, I'm untouchable, my old mans money makes me cool. I know that, you can't relate, I'll never be you, you poor fool Girls come from everywhere, Party till Dawn I don’t mind if I'm up all night I'll be sleepin’ on the lawn Drive my Mercedes Benz, To the liquor store Get my friends along tonight they’ll be knockin’ at my door My life's great, I'm untouchable, my old mans money makes me cool.

Just a Shadow Away 03:58

I get the feeling I know you, that you’re an open book, Although we’ve never met, I see your face everywhere I look, Although you don’t see me, I’m just a shadow away, I know your friends and your neighbours and who you’re gonna speak to today, I’ve seen better times, you should know, But this could be the start of our show. I love the dress that you’re wearing, I’d love to smell your hair, The way you smile at me even though, you don’t know Im there. When I sit in your garden, to keep you safe through the night, I know you’re true to me because you’re never out of my sight. I’ve seen better times, you should know, But this could be the start of our show. Leave me alone, you don’t want me near you? I’m changing my phone, You really don’t need to, I’m moving away, To find a new life, With friends that you care for, I hope that they’re there for…you I got to talk with your postman, he is a buddy of mine, He told me you’d moved away, away across the town, So now I’m here at the station, I’m gonna take me a ride, And if I like your new address maybe I’ll see you inside? I’ve seen better times, you should know, But this could be the start of our show.

Would you Like it Hot? 04:10

It's time to leave this town, it's getting me down I think about it everyday But when I get right down to it, It's harder to do than to say. I've got so many reasons to leave this place, I've got a job that I hate that hardly pays, I've got a stinky flat that smells of cat, I've got a Fiat van that's not all that, It really doesn't matter what I haven't got When I see my unrequited love in the coffee shop It makes it all worthwhile to stick around, Just to hear the sound of her voice Pasties, pies, soup with noodles Followed by some apple strudel Would you like it hot (phwar) I'll see what I've got Each day, I see the rain, feel the pain Darkness creeping in my soul And the bills keep piling up Credit cards are paid with loans I've got so many reasons to leave this place, My state of mind is a bloody disgrace, I sit around moping every day I can't even be bothered to get out my own way So when I feel bad, and I'm feeling down I get on a bus and go into town Order a coffee and a piece of cake then I hear the sound of her voice.... Pasties, pies, soup with noodles Followed by some apple strudel Would you like it hot (phwar) I'll see what I've got Pasties, pies, soup with noodles Followed by some apple strudel Would you like it hot (phwar) I'll see what I've got It's time to leave this town, it's getting me down I think about it everyday But when I get right down to it, It's harder to do than to say. I've made my decision, I'm gonna stay, Tell her all about the feelings that I've had to date She may not be ready for this urgent imposition but I'm feeling good coz I made this bold decision When she says yes, and I hope she will, We'll live in a house at the top of a hill She'll make pastries and play with our babies And then I'll get my fill of... Pasties, pies, soup with noodles Followed by some apple strudel Would you like it hot (phwar) I'll see what I've got But when, I get into town, I let myself down I can't say a single word. I guess I'll just to carry on In my own ridiculous world.

My baby called she's got a new vocation, She said it'e great it's gonna help the nation, She's a gonna make investigation I wanna know what she meant by that She was my girl, I knew I'd protect her, Treat her good and always respect her, Till she said she was a tax inspector, Man you gotta be shitting me. My Girlfriends a tax inspector, Yippee eye eye eye I hope I've done nothing to vex her, Coz it's coming round to tax bill time. She's writing me a letter says a team is gonna call For all my dodgy dealing and wheeling and thats not all I gotta get me outa this mess, then I'm gonna get her outa that dress Before the taxman comes and takes my balls away I got this business and I'm a director Makes loads of money whatever the weather But you could knock me over with a feather, Aw shit happens mate My new accountant says that he’s gonna fix it I'm not so sure that I'm willing to risk it. Coz she's seen where I dip my biscuit Man that's bad news My Girlfriend’s tax Inspector Yippy eye eye eye I hope Ive done nothing to vex her Coz it's coming round to tax bill time. And when all of this is done Im gonna get in my car and run coz I tell you that life ain't no fun When your baby's on the other side My Girlfriend’s tax Inspector Yippy eye eye eye I hope Ive done nothing to vex her Coz it's coming round to tax bill time. My Girlfriend’s tax Inspector Yippy eye eye eye I hope Ive done nothing to vex her Coz its way past tax bill time.

Sunrise on Europa 06:49

When I'm feeling so high, I got a place in the sky I'm looking down on a world that's cold as hell And when I'm down I look up, but I don't see no hope Will we ever make it back from here, it's hard to tell Rivers of methane, Snowflakes of sulphur The sounds that I hear from this other world, it makes me scared Head out from IO, all the way to Callisto Over and over again, I wonder why I dared I see a spec of light, and I think of home But still I have to face, another sunrise on Europa There are troubles of magnitude The orbit is becoming skewed Now I’m losing altitude We're going Down Going Down Lay in the sun for hours and hours Feel the warmth and scent of the flowers Songbirds will call in valleys and meadows Laugh in the valley and listen for echoes Then I look down and see the destruction The forests are burned the rivers are dry The plague that came caused the corruption Then we condemned the world to die I can't see, what will be our destiny, as we leave As the fleet ascends, with no planned journey end And we grieve Now we leave this cold Earth, we didn't value its worth Looking for a place to live that may not exist To history I say, you should have seen this day You've sentenced us to a hell in life support

It’s getting late, When ya gonna take me to bed? The thing I hate, Is when you take my sister instead You know it really doesn’t matter, matter at all If you sleep with my siblings, one & all But take me along, cos I just like the view Don’t you leave me all alone as I need to be there I’ll be quiet as a mouse and I’ll will not stare Just pretend, it’s her and me and you. Do anything at all as I have no shame Your father got involved and I share the blame He may be gone but the spirit lingers on. He led us all astray so many times But now he's had to pay for his heinous crimes He can rot in hell for ever and a day It’s getting’ late

about

An Album for a Worthy Cause.

John & Kevin have been friends for over 30 years having played together in a number of bands and projects. Both have written songs but never together until now.

They decided to write an album to express their widely varied taste in music and also to observe and comment on aspects of daily life even exploring dark subjects and narratives not common in songs.

So, the “soppy love song” or the “throw away lyrics” are nowhere in this collection. Nor is the unimaginative fade out, all songs have an ending.

All music and vocals are from John & Kevin with some additional drum programming from their good friend Darren Green. Also, Jan & Petra their long suffering partners must be recognised for their vocals on GOOD TIME and WOULD YOU LIKE IT HOT respectively.

They haven’t written this to get rich or famous (although that would be an added bonus) but because it gave them pleasure and they wanted to use it to raise money for good causes. So, all of you who are listening to this collection of songs have helped to make the world a better place.

Thank you.
