Four electric guitars, two lead breaks, six-part harmony vox, what more can I say? One of my personal favourites, but maybe the lyric shouldn't be quite so bitter. But it's done now and I've lost the session recording, thanks to somebody nameless.

Hi, I've been writing songs since I was twelve years old, and recording them since 1985. Roger Cook (of the Cook-Greenaway-Cook songwriting partnership and Blue Mink, etc) once wrote that I have the ability to write a hit single and that he was waiting for one from me. He also said I need to 'lighten up a bit', unquote. F*ck that!

Story behind the song
Every relationship I've ever had I've been dumped, usually after she's f*cked somebody else. (A legacy from my paedophile father, no doubt.) So I wrote a song about being in a fictional relationship I want to end, but I'm staying with her through thick and thin until she's ready to end it.
Lyrics
I can’t see the way ahead But I follow it in boots of lead I see with dread it’s gonna be a long day I can’t see the light inside But I still seem to be the guide There’s more to this than I could possibly say But I’ll sing and I’ll play Just to soothe your cares away Yes I feel and I pray That you will have your day So I’ll stay by your side And I will always provide Till you decide to go away I’ll do anything for anyone Just waiting for the starting gun Please show me a place where I can run to get away I’m the rock that’s always there I always have the time to spare Oh Lord please show me somewhere I can stay Where I’ll sing and I’ll play Just to soothe your cares away Yes I feel and I pray That you will have your day So I’ll stay by your side And I will always provide Till you decide to away Hush now baby don’t you cry I can kiss those tears goodbye I could never tell a lie Listen to my lullaby You don’t know the harm you cause You should get all the applause The moment you get out the claws The only point of view is yours Hush now baby don’t you cry I can kiss those tears goodbye I could never tell a lie Listen to my lullaby So I’ll stay by your side And I’ll always provide Till you decide to go away
