I have been writing songs for nearly 40 years ranging from love songs to political parodies and in recent years my attention has turned to spiritual songs particularly based on New Testament Texts

Lyrics
The King is Dead – Long Live the King Hey won’t you listen to my story About a boy from Memphis Tennessee When he sang, he touched our lives And he brought such joy to you and me Then one day he departed To answer a call from on high He left us broken hearted Cause we never got a chance to say goodbye Now I remember Heartbreak Hotel I remember Blue Suede Shoes I remember Return to Sender And the way that he sang those GI Blues I remember It’s Now or Never And Are you Lonesome Tonight Now he’s gone forever But they still sing his songs every night The King is dead, long live the King His music goes on and on And it’s such a shame he’s no longer around To sing those Elvis Presley songs And so the boy from Memphis Tennessee Became the King of Rock and Roll When he sang he touched our lives But the man had a troubled soul With so much adulation He struggled with reality He couldn’t share in all the joy he’d bring He couldn’t be like you and me The King is dead, long live the King His music goes on and on And it’s such a shame he’s no longer around To sing those Elvis Presley songs And sometimes his spirit gets restless Cause their singing his songs every night Some people say they’ve seen him And I think they may be right And on so many radio stations They still play his songs every day The King lives on forever Though the man has past away The King is dead, long live the King His music goes on and on And it’s such a shame he’s no longer around To sing those Elvis Presley songs
