Change 06:08
Take me out tonight Because I won't meet anyone And anyone won't meet me And if the world fell apart It wouldn't make a change to me I couldn't see in front of me, So hold my hand and take me out Cause I can't do this alone I need a push, I need an assist I need a kick up the arse I got tunnel vision I got blinked eyes I can't make a decision So don't even try. It's you and me against the world It's you and me against all odds Don't let the bastards get you down Don't let them grind away We're gonna keep our heads up high Just hold my hand and make me smile And stop the pain.

Rooibos 06:30
There's no reason for this purpose And I don't like Tony Curtis I was into Roger Moore If you had to persuade me. There's no reason to get annoyed Just keep away from Clement Freud He's a man with no morals He's a man that lies beneath the soil. Random words that you're hearing That have no relevant bearing Random thoughts in my head You can ignore what I've said Rooibos has no meaning Redbush tea no Darjeeling It is something that I take To help my self healing.

Tindersticks 03:28
Tindersticks evolved around the world, around the world And revolved around you and me. I'm no expert, just a guy Just a guy with a voice Just a man with a point With a point of view. Tindersticks evolved around the world, around the world And revolved around you and me I'm no expert just a guy Just a guy with a voice Just a guy, just a man With a point of view, point of view. You might like them and you may not But there's something, there for you For you and me.

I know you've heard it a thousand time before But I don't want to be here anymore I open doors but they close on me I open my mind and I close my eyes. I walk alone when I'm in a crowd And I walk alone in my mind I stand in the corner and look at the ground I stand in the corner and don't make a sound. I open my mind and close my eyes And I walk alone in a crowd I open my mind and close my eyes And I walk alone in a crowd. I live in a world of love and hate And I live in a place where I can't create I'm banging my head against the wall And I'm singing this song cause I'm a free for all. I think too much and I don't say a word It's you and me and the rest of the world I keep it to myself which gives me pain I keep it to myself I'm going insane. I open my mind and close my eyes...

Can you hear me lord crying from my pillow Can you hear me lord from another world Cry from a pillow Can you hear me lord from a none believer Crying from a pillow Can you hear me lord From a none believer, none believer Can you hear me lord crying from a pillow Can you hear me lord.

Me And Sid 05:19
There's a cat on a dustbin lid There's a cat I call him Sid He looks at me with his one good eye Turns around with a great big sigh Thats my cat I call him Sid Thats my cat on a dustbin lid. We lay back and watch the world go by We lay back and give the world a sigh Me and Sid we don't give a damn Me and Sid on a dustbin lid. We will ignore you Shut the door before you Not even acknowledge you, at all. There's a man all alone instead There's a man sitting on a dustbin lid And I look at Sid with his one good eye And he turns around and we both take a deep sigh And me and Sid we don't give a damn And me and Sid we're just sitting on this dustbin lid And it's me and Sid sitting on a dustbin lid...

Lament 05:08
She can't hear anymore She can't see very far She won't listen to what you say She ignores your point of view And she forgets what she's just said So she ask's me once again Which makes me upset Which makes me very upset. But I laugh and make a joke And we laugh at the joke, maybe. I retreat to my place With thoughts running through my head And I sit there and think Of what the future lies ahead but I laugh and make a joke And we laugh at the joke, maybe. And I see this lost little sole Sitting in her own little world And I see this lovely lady Drift away from our world. She can't hear anymore...

Terry's all gold in Neil's yard These are clues for you to choose Cream guitar and a plastic horn There's another clue for you terry's in a suit And Neil wears a shirt Sleeves rolled up, which he prefers They play good tunes Around the towns With anecdotes in between the sounds Two people in a room They make a noise, for me and you Two people in a room They make a noise, for me and you. Two nice guys for you to look just sit back cause you'll get hooked They're out there But no one knows Click and share, for all to see Two people in a room They make a noise, for me and you...

about

Ian A Fraser Nottingham, UK

I have been doing this for a few years now and had a big influence and help from my brother Neil who is in the band Tindersticks, but I make my own sound and hope its different ?!
I play various guitars and keyboard plus a few loops thrown in here and there.
There's a varied selection of genre and influences from Tindersticks, Leonard Cohen, Nick Cave and many more...
Hope you like!
Ian A.
