I've been wondering round WIth my map upside down Around these monuments to greed Cold eyed vultures feed All the inanimate objects Are sleeping in the office Who's that in the darkness? Asleep beneath the arches Oh my God, I lost my heart In the age of modernity Psychogeography In winter rain, I felt the shame On an urban topography Psychogeography alright! All of the men sat down At their machines in Flint, Michigan It was heard for miles around They're changing up the system Oh my God, I lost my heart In the age of modernity Psychogeography In winter rain, I felt the shame On an urban topography Psychogeography alright! Oh my God, I lost my heart Way out in modernity Psychogeography In winter rain, I hear the pain Of an urban demography Psychogeography alright!

Someone please help me I know that I've done wrong But I know all their dirty little secrets I know they like to believe its all my fault When my mind turns to cruel thoughts When I start to feel the bloodshot in my eyes I fall asleep where everyone can see When I feel myself sinking down I remember that I'm alive just like them If you've got something that I might need Time or money I'm down on my knees I'm not a problem I'm just a man Are you my foe or are you my friend? The wicked are strong when they hide their faces I sink and I leave no traces Late at night I start to believe This is what God wanted for me I don't know where you're all going to I don't know much about this world But I know I can't tie my own fingers down When I need to When I see people who love their God I wonder why If you've got something that I might need Time or money I'm down on my knees I'm not a problem I'm just a man Are you my foe or are you my friend? The wicked are strong when they hide their faces I sink and I leave no traces Late at night I start to believe This is what God wanted for me

Neighbour, please help me with these boxes I've got a lot of them Sometimes I paint little pictures Please don't look at them I saw you looking At the top of the stairs I see mother's face She don't look too pleased She worries she won't have the space For all of my things I can't hide I'm her only child I asked him please sir don't take my home Where am I gonna go? It's winter time and I like to keep warm I rarely go outdoors I never go out Thank you stranger for lending me your time I can't do much alone I've stayed inside since I lost my mind A very long time ago I can't hide I'm a lonely child I never worked a single day in my whole damn life 'Cause I always found People everywhere I tried Always kicked me down They don't stop kicking I'm so sorry if I'm impolite For wearing a frown I'd love to reach out and touch your hand I just don't know how I can't hide From your wide open eyes anyway

You better keep your hat on We may end up miles from here And I feel the wind blow so strong Careful you don't disappear Oh I would be delighted To play another game Even though I'm feeling tired And I know you feel the same Make you move The sun is coming up soon There's a cat sat out on the roof Soaking in the rain He doesn't need to pay no mind to The quiet thoughts that cross his brain Make your move The sun is coming up soon I have spent a long time laughing And a long time feeling numb But when I listen to the silence I can hear all kingdom come! Make your move The sun is coming up soon

about

I recorded some solo acoustic versions of songs I have written and decided to release them online in an attempt to raise some money for the Brixton Soup Kitchen. They are a grassroots organisation run completely by volunteers doing fantastic work helping people that need it most in my local community. www.brixtonsoupkitchen.com. Please give what you can, hope you enjoy!
