A Kiwi keyboardist/songwriter/producer teams up with several musician/songwriter/co-writers from around the world...and they never meet! They all send their tracks from their home countries via email. The result is an exciting, varied set of easy listening, contemporary, melodic pop rock, with and obvious international flavour. Ian Rushton is New Zealand's answer to Richard Clayderman - a UK-born, self-taught pianist and guitarist.

Lyrics
Something's Got A Hold Of You © 2006 Nick Crosby Every lie Every broken promise Every subtle deceit Every alibi And all the false evidence To convince you of Every selfish conceit Every trusted spy Who feigns a lament While forging a favour due With tribute secretly spent Every barbed remark Cloaked in a witty vignette Every irony concealed in Bitter sweet silhouette All falling down like Dark philosopher's reign The edge of a knife Glittering in a storm drain Something's got a hold of you The dirty streets of this town Take all the best you do And pay you with a broken crown Something's got a hold of you Like a back alley surprise Wheels spinning in your mind Decoding all the lies You don't have to carry The weight of the past You don't have to drink from That poisoned glass Or throw all of your books into the river Denying every truth Trying to pursue your abandoned plan Something more Than the dirt beneath you Stuck in the treads On the sole of your shoe Everyone's horizon is As high as they look around You'll find it in the gutter If you're only looking down Something's got a hold of you Like a back alley surprise Wheels spinning in your mind Decoding all the lies Something's got a hold of you The dirty streets of this town Take all the best you do And pay you, pay you with a broken crown There's more to see Than the dirt beneath you Stuck in the treads On the sole of your shoe There's more to living Than the dirt beneath your shoes.
