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
I was feeling a bit melancholy and low - as we all do sometimes - and wrote this in an hour. I recorded it the next day on a CASSETTE portastudio (remember the days of cassette tapes?) and invited cousin Hil to play the flute break. I've always been rather fond of this song.
Lyrics
Only the free Know how to be Don't follow me The blind can't see the way Listen to what they say In your hands you already hold the key Hold the key Only the sad Mourn what they've had Maybe I'm mad Help me by saying you'll stay Help yourself by going away In your heart of hearts you know you will be glad Only the pure Can find the cure If you're unsure Follow your second sight You'll find that it's alright And be surprised by what you can endure You endure You endure You endure...
