Pour me
Another drink
Pour me
Some more tears
Pour me
Some more words

Empty glass eyes plasticise

Tonight I spoke to an old friend who was part of the collective I used to be in and she sadly said she didn't have any of the recordings she did when she used to write and perform. I was sure I had some of those recordings she spoke about and was pleased when I found them.

Putting them together makes an amazing album that was never made, here it is:




And as long as we're on this journey here is the playlist from my own label Quest Cassettes that I put together a few years ago, I'm so proud and appreciative of knowing these great artists

Wrote this song a couple of years ago but only just re-recorded it, a silly little song that makes me smile, always fun to do these types of songs



Can’t you see me baby
You got me going crazy
Won’t you see me lady
My mind is heybe
Can’t you see me?
I’m wearing my brand new sweater
Walkin’ down the avenue
Ohhh I’m alone but I see
You walking down
Walking down by me
Birds on your shoulders
I cry I cry I cry
Till my shore has run dry
No I don’t wanna go
Yeah yeah where you’re from
No I don’t wanna go back
I don’t wanna go back
I don’t wanna go back
I don't wanna go back
I don't wanna go back to prom
I want to go back to town
Back to the underground
Back now you wanna go baby
By now you wanna go home

The swords of rivets on concrete
Fighting each other
Sausage rolls at lunchtime from the bakery
Woolworths and WH Smith

The scraping soap
Orange and grainy
Answering the phone:
‘Roger Wiggins Motor Repairs’

The strange old toilets
With a single chain
And China basin

The smell of the garage
The oil and petrol
Car grease
The noise of the car lift

The roundness of the ball bearings
Rolling them into the grating and getting lost
The way the tin doors closed, and got locked

The empty building next door with records below
The bars you could see between
In the alleyway
In summertime
All the buildings went long ago, but I still them all empty

Brewery lane, Sevenoaks

Totally out of sink
Unwashed

The left behind bowl
Growing mould
