Hopefully intelligent, upbeat, pop rock - plus multiple other genres and rabbit holes I enter
The band is ME - plus any collaborators I can convince to come along for the ride. I love the process of song writing and production - I hope some others get some enjoyments - or chuckles out of these tunes.

Lyrics
When We’re Gone CHORUS: When we’re gone, gone, gone, gone Let's worry when we’re gone Never too late for worry to wait Worry when we’re gone Everyone says it all passes by The beat of a drum - blink of an eye Everyone knows we’re destined to die Making the long journey home Too many people count off the years Suited - booted – living in fear Sipping on wine or a couple of beers…. Hopelessly alone (But) Booze starts to flow - sap starts to rise Driven along by a primitive drive Death leads to sex and sex leads to life Life goes on when we’re gone Men lose their heads and girls start to smile Cocks rule the roost and cats tread the tiles Call in the clowns to escape for a while The circus moves on … CHORUS Shut up and kiss me and take me to town Somewhere lively with people around Celebrate life in colour and sound Don’t wait ‘til we’re gone We’ll drink and laugh – dance and flirt Heading for home you can hike up your skirt Howl at the moon, make love in the dirt Ooh-la-la CHORUS INSTRUMENTAL/SCAT BREAK CHORUS X 2 We’ll worry when we’re gone
