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
Unfortunately the nightmare future George Orwell envisaged is becoming more of a reality every day. He may have been wrong about the date but he clearly foresaw the way things are going. I recorded this in San Francisco in 1984 in someone's apartment - I forget who but he played the terrific funky keyboard. I remember my friend Declan was there with me. This was when I was performing in a show called Rockalypse with the Hit and Run Theatre from Mendocino
Lyrics
I love Big Brother The new happy life I love Big Brother Peace through strife Newspeak is Truespeak Slaves are free I love Big Brother Big Brother loves me Who runs this country? Why should you care? Multinational corporations Have nothing to fear Just keep your eyes closed And shut your mouth tight Big Brother's in charge And he's always right He tells me what to think He tells me who to hate I always leave the TV on To keep me up to date Whatever happened yesterday I might as well forget Why worry about history Big Brother might object I love Big Brother The new happy life I love Big Brother Peace through strife Newspeak is Truespeak Slaves are free I love Big Brother Big Brother loves me
