Sharing an unshakable appreciation of rock music plus total respect for each others abilities sees Gary and myself as kindred spirits, brothers and really dig writing together (albeit via underwater submarine fibre optic cables...lol)

some people get by with a little understanding, some people get by with a whole lot more..
think back to when Gary Numan wrote and recorded 'Cars' in 1979 and if we don't think we've lost something we're crazy...but if we think it's coming back anytime soon then we are complete fools... can you still recall in the juke box hall when the music played and the world spun round to a brand new sound in those far off days.. in their blue suede shoes they would scream and shout as they sang the blues, let it all hang out.. rock and roll..

Story behind the song
have written many songs with Gary and this is one of those nostalgic type sad-songs...this new mix I've gone for the 'Marc Bolan meets Vince Gill' glam-country/rock vibe thing lol... sliding doors can open and shut and options to stay or go can present every now and then, but when it's all said and done time eats 'em all up like some ravenous, incorrigible, loveable pooch in front of it's food bowl...
Lyrics
I carry your scars upon me like tattoos on a leper Reminds us both from where we once came I bear no grudge for all these scores un-settled Just hope you're feeling the same (Hope you feel the same) I caught a glimpse of the sun As it tore a hole in your sky And I watched you walk away Into someone else's life And if that dark patch on your side Gives you cause to think of me Then wish upon a star And set yourself, set yourself free I trip and fall on the ball and chain you gave me Reminds me still of what once had been I get now there was no chance of a guarantee No ones ever as they seem (no-ones ever as they seem) And I caught a glimpse of the sun As it tore a hole in your sky And I watched you walk away Into someone else's life And if that dark patch on your side Gives you cause to think of me Then wish upon a star And set yourself, set yourself free We stumble with a hope of hiding all our doubts Reminds me of the fight neither of us won I understood that there was only one way out This race is well and truly run Yeah, this race is run and done And I caught a glimpse of the sun As it tore a hole in your sky And I watched you walk away Into someone else's life And if that dark patch on your side Gives you cause to think of me Then wish upon a star And set yourself, set yourself free...
