Introducing the greatest talent ever to emerge from the orange bedroom at my parents house. I play guitar like.... well, like a guy playing guitar. I tickle ivories. I twiddle on the computer. I sometimes enjoy beans on toast for breakfast. And in the cracks between the eating, sleeping, laughing, crying, working, breathing experience that is my life there sometimes slips out songs like these.

Story behind the song
A reflection on all the ways people seek to find satisfaction. Jesus said "I came to bring you life in all it's abundance." (John 10:10.) A lot of folk have yet to appreciate the love He truly can bring to a their life. Of course, being a preacher, I would say that! Stylistically reminiscent of some of the work of late great Jesus Rock pioneer Larry Norman. (who was quite an influence on me in my late teens.)
Lyrics
Buy your own Concorde (and paint it bright blue) Adrian J. Pratt 1974 Well you can speak about your revolution Write a best selling book on evolution Compose a thesis on phsycopathic powers You can have a plastic hip or be a total bionic Wear platignum sunglasses and look real cosmic You can buy a yacht and holiday in San Tropez But you'll never find satisfaction without Jesus You'll never find satisfaction without Jesus You'll never find satisfaction without Jesus You could own a mansion in Beverly Hills Go and blow your mind out on little purple pills Wear a black tuxedo and look reeally classy You could rule Russia and the U.S.A Make love to a different person every day Bathe in champagne and drink yourself stupid with brandy But you'll never find satisfaction without Jesus You'll never find satisfaction without Jesus You'll never find satisfaction without Jesus Tell me, why is the world so greedy? When a third of it's people are so needy? And what's all this about loving money? And why is everybody in such a hurry? Now, wait a minute, just slow down People move faster than the world goes around Even with Heinekin you get no satisfaction What? You can't even keep up with the latest fashion? (1,2,3, kick) You can buy your own Concorde and paint it bright blue You can spend your life writing songs, commercial tuines You can own 132 Rolls Royce's You can have the most money, the biggest and the best You can gain the whole world, tattoo 'I am Ace!' across your chest You could be the greatest person in the world. But you'll never find satisfaction without Jesus You'll never find satisfaction without Jesus You'll never find satisfaction without Jesus You'll never get satisfaction without Jesus
