when, all that matters is you and everyone
















I stood on the precipice when I was young
as a thousand years passed in front of my eyes

thrown down mountains and upturned oceans
suffocated my cries

but you'll never make me lose my love
this world still conjures a dream

I can see clearly now from my iron lung
when, all that matters is you and everyone

and if you tied me to the stake
there's no time for excuses
with the devil on the rack
Titanic sinks the ground he takes
will forever be lost to the skies
 
and if the fruits of our labours
turn out to be only hallucinations
you know we're in God's pocket
a misspent youth
living like a rocket
on a world coming down

tears from the sun
light up our constellations
with only a tightrope
to walk between the mapping of our lives
open up the doors 
give us another chance
cos who's there to trust
if our hands are only full of dust

pray they'll be no reaper man today

The last day(s) of summer


                           while we dance with the devil hold on don't say a word hold on
                           we see a storm closing in...

Cities of Gods

I took a drive to the City of Gods
Where an angel took me by the hand
Told me not to bury this life in the sand
So I set sail to the Isle of Dogs...

The doors were locked the windows closed
Who said the way to kiss was on the nose ?
I met a lonely girl standing there
Holding up the Bridge of Sighs
No-one heard her cries
A man kicked me back with a pack of lies 

Train tracks led me nowhere safe
Cities of Gods stopped and stared  
As the world led a paper chase 
 
This is a strange day..tails you fall
Everyone wags their finger forever more

In this morning down on love
Who will come and save the children ?
Woe betide the lollipop man
And the dinner ladies dressed up for the town
This is not the time to lose our crown

Live and let live my Mother said
My Grandfather said it's good to be free
Now I'm in my Father's shoes

How else can I sing the blues ?

I cycled on to Somers town
Forgot to take the message down
The one they hung on poor Charlie Brown

He lives in a caravan on Cinder road
Full to the brim with fools gold
He told me tales of old 
Ones only the world could sow

And I see everyone's plight
Both day and night

And I never ask, I never play
I never hurt anyone...yesterday

The Big Draw : Walking into memory


The title Walking into Memory evokes wider connections involving memory such as trace, vestige, remains, remnant, relic, evocation, recollection, remembrance, home and belonging.
Walking into Memory takes place prior to the house undergoing a substantial architectural renovation and therefore the artistic interventions and interpretations are destined to be absorbed into the memories and history of the house.
The house will become an exhibition space open to the public on 19th and 20th September 2015
