Change

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

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

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.

Mind Song Monologue
05:17
|

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

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

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...

Two People In A Room

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...

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.
