1. Freight Train of Sorrow

You never forget the first time your heart was broken. Unrequited love is a dark and lonely journey from which any means of escape is a blessing ... jumping a freight train in the middle of a cold winters night for a destination unknown, can make sense.

2. Mountain Called Love

A more gentle and philosophical interpretation of the previous theme.

3. Careful She Might Hear You

When you're young and you get your heart broken it's not something you can always share with others, sometimes we take solace from our pets who love us unconditionally (when they're hungry). In late 2022 one of our two beautiful pussy cats died  too young from cancer and it was very a difficult time – we miss you Puddin.

4. She's My Baby

A simple song inspired by and dedicated to my beautiful wife Megan who really did put all my ducks in place. Thanks darl!

5. Blind Enough to See the Light

From a younger time when love didn't quite happen. Successfully misinterpreting friendship into something that was never there takes considerable concentration and effort and is not recommended.

6. Fallen Angel

This is the fictional heroic journey of a young lady making her way back into life after almost dying from heroin addiction. You can google Amber Hoffman for a picture of the sort of story I am talking about.

7. All in the Groove

Zero respect for those who want to tear civilisation to pieces in order to support their particular world view. It's happening more and more these days and with certain groups the mass media  has been overly forgiving. I am not of this way of thinking. I am not in the groove man. Destruction is wrong and should be punished no matter who does it and whatever the cause is.

8. Lambs to the Slaughter

Following on from the previous theme, the consequence of appeasing bullies and the tolerating of destructive forces can ferment a hostile, nationalistic culture. In this song it is Nazis Germany and the inevitable outcome of Hitler's perverted bid to conquer the world. The overreach is the Russian front and the consequence is the frozen killing fields of Stalingrad where hundreds of thousands of young German men died for no real purpose.

9. No-one Else

A tribute to my life mentor Ethel who was and still is always there for me. A person who helped me to believe in myself and the universe.

10. Troubled Man

A little country ditty where the hero ends up working out that the life he had wasn't that bad really – certainly much better than wondering alone on an empty beach in the middle of nowhere.

11. My Life Again

This one is from an earlier time and I guess it's part of the journey to look back on your life and think you wouldn't change a thing ... when with hindsight and given the chance I would change lots of stuff.

12. When the Night is Young

This is my own Take it to the Limit type song. We've all had times when we find ourselves totally alone. and 'everything we've done seems wasted'.
