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

Lyrics
CH 10 Clay horse Am CG Em Am G Am G Am G F D I'm gonna take my clay horse to the river and place it neath a tree Gonna make my wish that you'll deliver and give yourself to me Gonna tie some cloth around a banyan and decorate a bough Take that thought you've failed to sanction and turn it to a vow Em D Em D Em D C Dm G I'll try anything to make you want me Any potion, philtre, prayer or magic spell I'll try anything to make you want me I'll get my heaven here on earth if it sends my soul to hell Gonna find an shaman skilled who can turn your head for me If my wishes are fulfilled then you'll get the best from me If it takes a necromancer then his service I'll enlist You know that I'm a chancer and I'm set on getting kissed Gonna take a hair from your head and burn it on a pyre Gonna write the words that you have said and add them to the fire So you see how I'm determined and there's nothing you can do So why not just confirm it and say you want me too We could just stop this battle and cut right to the chase We don't need the hassle there's no need for saving face. I'll chant your name a thousand times in the darkness of a cave I'll labour on a thousand rhymes to make you misbehave
