Music is what our emotions sound like.
I'm actually a songwriter rather than a performer. My songs are recorded at home as demo's for the purpose of pitching to publishers, labels and artists and as such are not full production masters. If any artists or publishers are interested in any of the material here I'd be happy to hear from you. Have fun.....I hope you enjoy what you're hearing!!

Lyrics
THE BOYS OF BALHAM by Martin Crombie Copyright 2013 Martin Crombie Up on Tooting Common playing on the swings Running round the sandpit doing nasty things Rocking the Banana Boat then the Witches Hat 'Til somebody tells you "You shouldn't be doing that" Going to the Lido so we can play the fool Doing lots of dive bombs and thinking it was cool Back home through the market for "Rock N Chips" or pie November it's the station and "Penny for the Guy" CHORUS When we were the boys, when we were the boys When we were the boys of Balham We had nothing at all, but we were having a ball When we were the boys of Balham Mayfair or Granada for our movie fix Odeon or Fleapit for Saturday morning pix Front row when you're with your mates, back row with a gal See how far she'd let you go so you could kiss and tell Party Sevens and Pomagne, who's parents are away? Ben Sherman and the smell of Brut, some 45's to play Walking home down Bedford Hill see the ladies of the night Legs up to their armpits a teenage boys delight CHORUS repeat BRIDGE Every road and every corner has it's own memory South West twelve is still a part of me CHORUS repeat SPOKEN "Ere Mum, I'm gonna take that Provident cheque I got for me birthday,go down to Ernie Noads in the market, get a pair of them platform Godfathers! Then I might take a walk down the High Street to Watermans, get a pair of Channel Seams!" CHORUS repeat
