An awesome mix of cracking rock songs and deeply sensitive ballads tinged with a touch of new wave country. Imagine Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Leonard Cohen and Nick Cave getting together to write an album or two and youâd pretty much come up with âBound For Blueâ and âLive With Your Fearâ. Always lyrical, sensitive, sad, moody and then, suddenly uplifting, this is songwriting at its very, very best.

SAVED BY ROCK AND ROLL

And so you closed the door
And took off your pretty dress
Everything was crashing round
Inside my head

The morning came
And still I could not make it clear
That I could stay inside of you
For a billion years

Cause when you touched me
Oh, baby
The devil took me from below

And you saved me
You saved my goddamn soul
You saved me
Saved me with rock and roll

The stars were breaking out
Upon the wounded sky
To the dancing of the universe
I closed my eyes

The screams of love
Could still be heard upon your bed
Every single move we made
Every word we said

And then you touched me
Oh, baby
The devil took me from below

And you saved me
You saved my goddamn soul
You saved me
Saved me with rock and roll

I could see the beams of light
Upon your sleepy hair
I could see the end of time
And you and I were there

You saved me
You saved my goddamn soul
You saved me
Saved me with rock and roll

IS IT YOU?

I heard that you wanted me
I heard that you cared
And all that you had you would share

Your Hollywood shirts
Your best and your worst
The secrets you never declare

But all I ever wanted
Was a lover strong and true
Somebody that would take away these blues
So tell baby, tell me
Is it you?

If I gave you my heart
On a long silver thread
Would you drag me around in your bed?

And if my world falls apart
Will you make it all new?
Will you do what a lover should do?

Oh tell baby, tell me
Tell baby, tell me
Is it you?

Cause all I ever wanted
Was a lover strong and true
Somebody that would take away these blues
So tell baby, tell me
Oh tell baby, tell me
Is it you?

WASTE OF TIME

You come knocking on my door girl
Like you ainât ever been gone
And suddenly you want me
And your love is strong

Well I might be dumb
But honey Iâm not blind
Cause loving you baby
Was just a waste of time

You sold me down the river
For another manâs love
But for a woman like you
That ainât ever gonna be enough

And now you come crawling
Saying youâre still mine
But loving you baby
Was just a waste of time

Oh, this song donât mean nothing
No nothing at all
Except the higher you climb
The further you fall

And nothing here changes
Youâre still on my mind
But pretty baby
Youâre just a waste of time

IN MY ARMS AGAIN

If I were a hero
Handsome and brave
And fearless in battle
Ten thousand had saved

Then Iâd run away
And Iâd suffer the shame
If I could hold you
In my arms again

And if I wasnât guilty
Had not done the deed
And the judge he said
Just how do you plead?

Then I would confess
And Iâd take all of the blame
If I could hold you
In my arms again

And if the sky should open
And Jesus came down
And he said youâve been good son
Itâs for heaven your bound

Then Iâd go to hell
And Iâd burn in the flames
If I could hold you
In my arms again

Yes Iâd go to hell
And Iâd burn in the flames
If I could hold you
In my arms again

DARK AND LONELY CHILD

My daddy was a working man
He was caught in a life he didnât understand
He lived up on the high rise states
When he saw the light it was just too late

My mamma was a mixed up girl
And she lived her life in a mixed up world
We left her standing by the gates
How come we love the things that we love to hate

Well you can go crazy
Just staying alive
You do what you have to
When youâre a dark and lonely child

Your heart can grow a brand new skin
You can twist the knife but you wonât get in
The stars above will fade and die
Before you know all the reasons why

The thunder and lightning
The wind blowing wild
The moon and the shadows
And a dark and lonely child

Well you can go crazy
Just staying alive
You do what you have to
When youâre a dark and lonely child

Donât go you can just say no
You can be who you want to be

BOUND FOR BLUE

I see you standing by the window
Pretty ribbon in your hair
I see you laughing by the water
I close my eyes and youâre still there

The beauty of the roses
The beauty of your smile
The poetry of longing
The dark and hopeless wounded sky

I was born to love you
Nothing I could do
Never to recover
And bound for blue

Tomorrow Iâll be leaving
Iâm going far away
I wonder if youâll follow
I wonder if youâll stay

I was born to love you
Nothing I could do
Never to recover
And bound for blue

DON'T CRY

I know youâve lived a lonely life
I know your days go by
You watch the fading of the light
The dreams inside you die

Donât cry
Donât cry

Your broken heart wonât let you go
Thereâs nowhere you can hide
How you were wounded I donât know
But I will dry your eyes

Donât cry
Donât cry
Donât cry

HOME TO STAY?

She calls to say sheâs coming back
But please donât ask her for the facts
Pretty soon
I see her standing in the pouring rain

She looks so lonely and confused
But all I say is âHow are you?â
She takes my hand
And I feel a little stab of pain

I donât know
What made her want to run away
I donât know the reasons
Iâm just glad sheâs home to stay?

Was I drinking, was I bad?
Could I not see she was sad?
Was my love
Like the loving that it used to be?

As the years went passing by
Did she still look me in the eye?
Was her mind?
On another who was not like me?

I donât know
What made her want to run away
I donât know the reasons
Iâm just glad sheâs home to stay?

I donât know
What made her want to run away
I donât know the reasons
Iâm just glad sheâs home to stay?

THE TALL SHIPS

I can see the tall ships coming
Across the open sea
No more will I go sailing
No more will I be free

For they put me in this prison
For revenging my own wife
For the man I took to killing
For the taking of his life

But the judge he took no mercy
Black cap upon his head
I can see the tall ships coming
But tomorrow I will be dead

She was my own true lover
And all that I could need
They found her by the harbour
As cold as cold can be

But the judge he took no mercy
To the gallows I will be led
I can see the tall ships coming
But tomorrow I will be dead

A black eyed out of towner
With blood upon his hands
Was seen to be a running
Across the dark bay sands

Well I took my gun and powder
And I took my anger too
I chased him across the shoreline
Till the skies turned midnight blue

We struggled by the water
I put a bullet in his head
I can see the tall ships coming

CRYING MERCY

Itâs not so easy
When youâre down upon your luck
Itâs not so easy
When youâre down but canât get up

You try to run
But you canât even crawl
You lie there helpless
With your back against the wall

Crying mercy
Crying mercy
Mercy
Crying mercy

Your friends all tell you
That itâs just your point of view
If you could change your mind
Thereâs nothing you canât do

But there are times
When everything you do is wrong
You lie there screaming
In your bed the whole night long

Crying mercy
Crying mercy
Mercy
Crying mercy

Itâs not so easy
When youâre down upon your luck
Itâs not so easy
When youâre down but canât get up

You try to run
But you canât even crawl
You lie there helpless
With your back against the wall

Crying mercy
Crying mercy
Mercy
Crying mercy

Mercy
Mercy
Mercy
Mercy

JUDGEMENT DAY

There are so many wounded in this life
There are so many wrongs that we call right
And though itâs always been this way
There will be a judgement day

When your heart is so weary from the pain
And youâre holding back those tears once again
Remember just as you turn away
There will be a judgement day

For the hungry and the silent
For the poor and for the weak
For the orphan who screams
But cannot speak

When youâre lonely and thereâs nothing you can do
When your whole world is breaking in two
When the skies above are turning grey
Just hang on for judgement day

Remember just as you turn away
There will be a judgement day

LoLONELY ISOLATION

Why donât you stay?
So I can love you again
Why donât you stay?
So I can love you again
I want you back
Or it will be the end

Tears in my eyes
Canât seem to see a thing
Tears in my eyes
Canât seem to see a thing
One thing is clear
That you are everything

I know that itâs the same old situation
I know that itâs my foolish pride
To hide away in lonely isolation
And tell my self the same old lies

The days go by
Theyâre so long and slow
The days go by
Theyâre so long and slow
I canât believe
That I could let you go

No I canât believe
That I could let you go
