Artist picture
Singer-songwriter, arranger and producer: acoustic contemporary folk but ranging into rock/blues/country/jazz/humour...all very eclectic, I'm afraid!

Lyrics
AFS 12 Greener CF CEm AmD G C E7Am FDG G7 G13 The grass is always greener on the other side It's an optical trick that you can't override It's all to do with the angle you're viewing Not sure if that helps when emotions are stewing You think that your life should be better than as it is You should know that such comparisons are hazardous That's what you get from the media you're viewing Surely no help when emotions are stewing FCBb FG G7 G7 A loss of perspective from spiraling in A vision selected by copious gin Material possessions and the way that you think of these Perhaps you should question your current priotities Poor advice your thoughts have been skewing Are surely no help when emotions are stewing Your suffering from a dysphoric dementia Brought on by excessive impedimentia Perhaps past decisions you're ruing surely no help when emotions are stewing
