All my recordings are as a full band - but the band is just me. My split personalities and alter-egos have been making music together since we were 10 years old, previously gigging regularly in Nottingham with two bands until moving to the South West of England in 2003.

Story behind the song
I know how lucky I am!
Lyrics
Sometimes, everything is upside down, everything’s the wrong way round, inside out. Sometimes, everything is cold and grey, all the colour washed away, fading out. Then you take me to a brighter place, from inner into outer space and I don’t want to come down. I find I’m in a lighter place, high up in Heaven space and I don’t want to come down. Uptime, when everybody’s bright and gay, every day’s a holiday, everything is ok. Downtime, when everybody hits the ground, everybody’s coming round and it’s a crazy quilt bouquet. You find an even higher plane, I’m floating in it once again, sky flying around. And I can’t think of where I’d rather be, who I’d rather have with me, I’m never coming down. I don’t need drugs and vices, I don’t need life’s advisors to know how lucky I am. I don’t need guides and meditations, twisted mystic explanations, I know how lucky I am. I don’t need women and fast cars, loads of money and big scars, to show how lucky I am. I don’t need a big house with a swimming pool, I don’t need to own things to make people drool, I don’t need to pretend I play by different rules, I don’t need to be kind by being cruel, I don’t need a big tool, I’ve got the crown jewels, I’m no fool, I know how lucky I am. I’ve got you and I’m living in a nicer place, I’m looking at a nicer face when I turn round and look at myself. I’ve got no more time to waste, I’m no longer on the chase, you’re here and I’m found. I’m happier than I’ve ever been, all we have is now and it’s a dream and when I wake up I’m still smiling. I can’t stop smiling. Sometimes I don’t know which notes to play, I can’t find the words to say how lucky I am.
