And so it begins, this game of life, this game of chance.
Self-Composed songs written and recorded at home. A variety of styles.
My pal, Paul Valentine writes the lyrics and I write the music.
The first recording of a new idea.
There is no bass on most tracks. These are rough first-take demos.

Lyrics
And so it begins
This game of life, this game of chance
Opportunity knocks
Will you answer the call, will you get up to dance.
With the eyes of the world upon you,
Show them what you can do, Go on, Show them what you can do
One for the money, two for the show
Get yourself ready, ‘cause you never know
If the time is right, it’s your turn tonight.
And now you’re here
Not where you want to be, out in the cold
So blame yourself
For mistakes you’ve made, ‘cause you were told.
With the eyes of the world upon you,
Show them what you can do, Go on, Show them what you can do
One for the money, two for the show
Get yourself ready, ‘cause you never know
If the time is right, it’s your turn tonight.
When all’s said and done
The final curtain, comes to close
You can’t look back
The reward comes, from the life you chose.
With the eyes of the world upon you,
Show them what you can do, Go on, Show them what you can do
One for the money, two for the show
Get yourself ready, ‘cause you never know
If the time is right, it’s your turn tonight.
Paul Valentine 4.1.06
