Hi folks. I have added a lot of videos recently. Please take a look!
Hi folks, This site acts as a personal archive of my work. So you'll find my best recordings here as well as some pretty crappy ones. The earliest recordings here were made on simple cassette decks, others were made on mobile phones, some are live recordings made at various gigs over the years, a handful were made in small recording studios, but most of the more recent ones were made at home on a Zoom portable studio, which itself is now rather ancient! If you like a song and want to download it, click on 'Full song info' for that song and you will see the download link. You can also read the lyrics and any background information on the songs that I may have added. All my music is available for free - enjoy :) cheers, Charles

Story behind the song
Pure fiction of course. A one night stand? Me? Never! I play the guitar and sing. Kim Sajn does the rest...
Lyrics
It was a day like any other day It wasn't too cold but the city sky was low and grey And didn't I need a friend I was at a loose end - then you came in And that's the saddest thing We met on the street - you asked me for the time We started to talk and you thought that you knew a friend of mine And didn't I need a friend I was at a loose end - then you came in And that's the saddest thing Just down the road we found a place to eat The tables were rough - well the wine was too But the food was cheap And didn't I need a friend... That night was alright - but you know I was really canned And next day when we woke - well I knew it was only a one night stand And didn't I need a friend I was at a loose end... "I'll see you sometime" I said - and a week went by And then last night you called to say "Why don't you give it just one more try? And don't you need a friend?" Well I let you down and now you're gonna cry There's nothing to say - well if you got hurt baby - so did I And didn't I need a friend I was at a loose end - then you came in And that's the saddest thing Didn't I need a friend I was at a loose end - then you came in And that's the saddest thing
