When Oil Was King

There was a time when things weren’t the same as today
We led a shrink-wrapped life, had a piper to pay
Full Gas, full DERV
The race was on
First come, first served
Till it was gone
There was a time we could fly across the ocean
Drive to where we wanted to be
We lit the flame then we just left it burning
All the time
Everything
When oil was King
When the tanks had run dry and the heating turned cold
Before it cost us the Earth, we took heed what we’re told
Rain falls, trees grow
And rivers run
Sun shines, winds blow
And we go on.
There was a time we could fly across the ocean
Drive to where we wanted to be
We lit the flame then we just left it burning
All the time
Everything
When oil was King
Instrumental Bridge
There was a time we could fly across the ocean
Drive to where we wanted to be
We lit the flame then we just left it burning
All the time
Everything
When oil was King
When oil was King
When oil was King
When oil was King

Howling At The Moon

This summer night is filled with stars
Lovers’ beacons fill the skies
I watch them as they pass me by
You can see it in their eyes
I know the words to their song
But I cannot sing the tune
Till someday I find me someone to love
I’ll be howling at the moon
We would watch the sky together
A shooting star for you and me
I did not see on that horizon
That our fates were not to be
I know time will be the healer
But I need to feel it soon
Till someday find me someone to love
I’ll be howling at the moon
I need to be stronger
I know it can’t be the same
But you can’t change tomorrow
If you don’t play the game
This summer night is filled with stars
Love’s beacons fill the sky
They can’t take away the heartbreak
But I know I need to try
I’ll be looking for that someone
Who’ll remind me of love’s tune
Till someday I find me someone to love
I’ll be howling at the moon
I’ll be howling at the moon.

The water is fine
And you’ve plenty of time
To sit on the dock and to take in the heavenly view
We all know we are blessed
Here as nature’s guest
To be sewn in the tapestry
And to be feeling brand new
Moon shines her light
A loon call splits through the night
Stars streak the sky for the wishes we make
Constellations look down
As the night wears her gown
We are worlds away from it all at Logan Lake
Eagles they fly
As you sip your ice-cold wine
And the hummingbird put on a show for those who can see
You can fish if you like
Hope the bass they will bite
Or float on the water and dream
Moon shines her light
A loon call splits through the night
Stars streak the sky for the wishes we make
Constellations look down
As the night wears her gown
We are worlds away from it all at Logan Lake

The ‘Island … Statues’ brought you here
From England’s roar to Celtic cheer
Like an Irish lullaby
You sang our songs and caught my eye
Should I command the heavens now
They would bring you here somehow
I’d place my dreams beneath your feet
Walk gently on my dreams
You filled my soul, my love, my art
A secret rose growing in my heart
You are my one love, will always be
This isle divided you and me
Should I command the heavens now
They would bring you here somehow
I’d place my dreams beneath your feet
Walk gently on my dreams
I wore a coat of Irish history
You wore a future you meant to see
And though our passions tore us apart
You’re here in verse and in my heart
Should I command the heavens now
They would bring you here somehow
I’d place my dreams beneath your feet
Walk gently on my dreams

You’re never too old to learn
It’s never too late to try
Always be ready to fight the fight
And let sleeping dogs lie
Don’t dwell in the past
Or let your bridges all burn
It’s never too late to take advice
You’re never too old to learn
Prepare to listen, it’s a fool who waits to speak
Demand to be heard, give the Earth to the meek
Patience is a virtue but don’t drag your feet
Get out of the kitchen if you can’t stand the heat
Always stay grounded and reach for the sky
There’s no ‘I’ in team but there is in meat pie
I’m older, should be wiser, I won’t tell you twice
Take heed what I say, don’t take my advice
Turn the other cheek
A tooth for a tooth
That is what the Good Book says
So it must be the truth

Clearing out a box of memories
What to keep and what must go
Found an envelope unopened
Labelled in a hand I know
I see her face and I remember
All the love that I could need
Though the ink is old and faded
I hear her voice and start to read
This is a letter from the heart
So we may never be apart
I just wanted you to see
What you’ll always be to me - RSVP
Unopened heart and unread feelings
So many years at such a cost
My foolish heart is left believing
Best to have loved and to have lost
This is a letter from the heart
So we may never be apart
I just wanted you to see
What you’ll always be to me
They say time it is the healer
I’m not sure it works that way
You can hide the scars of heartache
Regret will always stay
So I sit here in the sunset
Not knowing what the fates allow
I don’t know if I can save me
But I’m writing to you now
This is a letter from the heart
So we don’t have to be apart
I just hope that you can see
What you’ve always been to me - RSVP

These days can leave you feeling alone
And you feel you’re singing all on our own
You have some things that you want to say
You need some help to get on your way
And Oh when we are singing
I know my friends are here
From the North East down to the South Lands
We will sing our own refrain
We owe it to Stu and the Tuesday night crew
When we sing our songs again
Playing, banjo, ukulele, guitar
We’ve helped each other through every bar
To get the song we want it to be
Our online music family
And Oh when we are singing
I know my friends are here
From the North East down to the South Lands
We will sing our own refrain
We owe it to Stu and the Tuesday night crew
When we sing our songs again
When I play these songs I’ll always see
Those online faces smiling back at me
And this singer wants to say ‘Thank You’
To the Tuesday night crowd and Stu
And Oh when we are singing
I know my friends are here
From the North East down to the South Lands
We will sing our own refrain
We owe it to Stu and the Tuesday night crew
When we sing our songs again
We owe it to Stu and the Tuesday night crew
When we sing our songs again

Send Peace

A rain of bullets fills the air
And falls until there’s no one there
Aid it comes to help us make a noble stand
There’s too much blood across this battered land
Send peace, send light
And end this endless fight
Send us angels from above
Send hope, that’s clear
That everyone can hear
Send peace, send hope, send love.
Seems an age since this began
Some they stayed and some they ran
Forty million reasons why we must stand tall
And hope the world is praying for us all
Send peace, send light
To end this endless fight
Send us angels from above
Send hope, that’s clear
That all of us can hear
Send peace, send hope
This help from every nation
The fuel for escalation that it sends
The war machine keeps growing
With no one really knowing how it ends
For my family now I pray
That there is another way
If my own arms can’t hold them
The arms of war must do
And keep us safe in yellow and blue
Send peace, send light
To end this endless fight
Send us angels from above
Send hope, that’s clear
That all of us can hear
Send peace, send hope, send love.
Send peace, send hope, send love
