This Is The Story (Of A Love That Died) 04:02 video
lyrics
buy track
Face to face, another confrontation, Shouting wars in the living room Heart to heart, on the end of a cuff Defences up we act so tough Head to head a lash of the tongue Storm lashed branches on the window frame Toe to toe, kill with a stare, like Full beam headlights in the mirror glare This is the story of a love that died Ever so slowly with nothing to hide This is the story of a love that died Voice to voice at the end of a phone Words so harsh they cut to the bone Blow by blow, another verbal bout Times so short when hates laid out This is the story of a love that died Ever so slowly with nothing to hide This is the story of a love that died Door to door a slap on the mat Decree absolute in white and black Together we fell, divided we stand Worlds apart now loves at an end This is the story of a love that died Ever so slowly with nothing to hide This is the story of a love that died This is the story of a love that died Ever so slowly with nothing to hide This is the story of a love that died love that died love that died a love that died

Scrapbook 03:32 video
lyrics
buy track
He was born on the same day they put Yuri into space. Christened in the week of America's sadness and disgrace. First blood in the playground, while Hurst conquered the globe. She kept all of the headlines under his swaddling robe. She would make him a scrapbook. News and events of his life. It would make a nice present. On the day that he took a wife. A woman moved in to Downing Street. Dressed in blue he went to sea. Bowie and Bolan led the teen beat. She waved goodbye from the quay. It was murder in second city. She still kept the front page. Along with all his postcards. It marked his coming of age. She would make him a scrapbook. News and events of his life. It would make a nice present. On the day that he took a wife. It was a week of big news. The Belgrano went down. His death pulled a small mention. The evening paper of his local town. She thought of an epitaph. We're all history's slaves. News of life at death is just paper for a dead man's grave

Big Moon 03:37
lyrics
buy track
It looked so near the big moon With the street lights bouncing off it And the colour of your eyes and the mood you’re in Talking reality fulfilling my wildest daydreams It was oh so cold my life With the routine biting in it And the message of their words And the pain within them Seeking existence, getting what I deserved You were the one who said Theres a new life waiting for u If u leave this one behind Theres a new life waiting for u So wake up and don’t be blind Then you came along u saved me With your warm kiss, I’m thawing in it And the softness of your smile And the peace I’m finding in it Grasping a lifeline finding I’m sailing in luxury Chorus… Now it feels so right this love With my heart beat feeding from it And the shadow on your face And the mood I’m in Talking forever, wishing that time stood still

Working (In The Coal Mine) 03:15 video
lyrics
buy track
Sitting on a bench Waiting in the park Paper in hand and Numb in the mind There's birds in a bunch There's people out to lunch He's sees a lot of life but I think he'd rather be Working in the factory Working in the post office Working in the corner shop Working For the coal board Down a coal mine In a coal mine Walking round the block Reading through a book He's going through the cupboard now For something to cook He's burning the toast opening the post He gets a lot of No's When all he wants to be is Working for the businessman Working for the local council Working even for the Mafia Just working For the coal board Down a coal mine Where's the coal mine Fishing in a dry dock, letter from the bank Drop in at the Centre takes him closer to the edge Look at the notice board and note the bored look He does a lot of cycling but I think he'd rather be Working. I think he'd rather be Work Work Work Work Picking up a pay packet working for a wage Doing a little overtime spending for a change yeah Flipping through photos cutting the grass He wears the striped tie to meet the top brass It's hard on the soles it's hard on the soul He's stuck on the dole when all he wants to be is Working for the businessman Working for the local council Working for the Mafioso Working for a privatised rail line Working for the post office Working For the coal board Down a coal mine Where's the coal mines?

Brown hair, blue eyes Warm sun under bright skies You looked pretty Pretty Pretty in Portugal Soft words, shy looks Long nights with my dull books You looked pretty Pretty Pretty in Portugal Light tan and freckles Summer dress with petals You looked pretty Pretty Pretty in Portugal Pretty in Portugal You know, I really fell for you Pretty in Portugal You know, I really fell for you Sweet breath, smooth skin Hot sand there’s no wind You looked pretty Pretty Pretty in Portugal First touch, long glance New tunes to a slow dance You looked pretty Pretty Pretty in Portugal Summer love and kisses Aeroplanes and best wishes You looked pretty Pretty You looked pretty in Portugal Pretty in Portugal You know I really fell for you Pretty in Portugal You know I really fell for you Pretty in Portugal You know I really fell for you Pretty in Portugal You know I really fell I really fell I really fell I really fell for you

Five Good Years 03:15
lyrics

Five good years Now I feel like an elephant I’m getting too big for my room Five good years There’s a feeling inside of me I’m gonna be leaving quite soon Too long still water, I’m stagnating too Time for swimming downstream So long backwater I’ll be seeing you There’s plenty more fish in the sea Why's it always about you Blue? Too big for your room? You're getting too big for your boots boy Plenty more fish in the sea? We’ll see. I can bait a hook too, Blue Gotta get a long long way away Away from you Away from you Away from you No discussions, no goodbyes, No more tears to cry No explanations, no regrets No more hedging of bets. No maybes, no tuts No more ifs and buts. No comebacks, no blame Nothing remains the same. Nothing remains the same? It’s always about you Blue Listen to yourself. You should try changing your tune, Blue. I don’t need to explain my one regret. Blue. You. Gotta get a long long way away Away from you Away from you Away from you

Where's The Logic In That? 03:05 video
lyrics

You keep me sane you keep me sober You make me strong you feed my anger To laugh out loud in the face of thunder And where’s the logic in that You keep me sane you keep me sober To bite my lip ‘till the blood runs over You keep me strong you keep me stable To stand upright on a toppling table And where’s the logic in that Does it hurt do I feel the pain Will I hear if you call again All this commitment still I can’t explain If I’ll float to the surface or go down the drain And where’s the logic in that You keep me sane you keep me sober You keep me calm when my blood boils over You make me strong you keep me centred To count my blessings should I ever get tempted And where’s the logic in that You keep me sane you keep me sober You give me hope so my heart ticks over You make me strong you make me try To straighten my face so it matches my tie And where’s the logic in that

The Inevitable Split 03:10 video

I told you right away Make the most of today Touch and laugh and kiss All the things that you’d miss Embrace the sun and moon It all ends far too soon Learn all that they teach It’s never long before you reach The inevitable Split The inevitable Split I told you from the start You couldn’t keep my heart I told you right away I couldn’t stay I wouldn’t stay Make the most of today before we reach The inevitable Split The inevitable Split I told you from the start You couldn’t keep my heart I told you right away I couldn’t stay Embraced the sun and moon Brought new light to our room Now it’s out of reach It’s out of reach The inevitable Split The inevitable Split Now I won’t go away Not today or any day We’ll touch we’ll laugh we’ll kiss All the things that I’d miss I have something new to teach So hear me preach The inevitable Split Don’t exist The inevitable Split It don’t exist What bliss

Now when I look back at days gone by The scales fall from my eyes You always said you had nothing to say You’re pernicious that way You played your tricks till you got your wish You made me walk away You keep your life you kept the bricks Now it’s time to pay I just want the Money honey, Now that we are through I just want the Money honey, I can be as cold as you In your heart or in our bed You never lived for me When I look back at the tears I shed sleeping on my own With you locked in to your own company 'searching for your soul' In your head or on the web where you preferred to be That’s Ok I’m Ok but you owe me I just want the Money honey Now that we are through I just want the Money honey I can be as cold as you In your heart or in your bed You never lived for me For me I don’t need the money sweetie it can go to charity I just want the Money honey Now that we are through I just want the Money honey I can be as cold as you You keep your life you kept the bricks you still got to pay ‘cos - I just want the Money honey Now that we are through I just want the Money honey, Feel the freeze on you In your head and in your bed Wherever you may be unless you pay, until you pay You’ll hear this song everyday

Without You 04:18

Sometimes drained I lay still And I wonder a life without you That is when my blood begins to chill Because I just couldn’t live without you ‘Cos your lips are my drinking water And your eyes the air I breathe Without your love my baby I’d just be quivering in the breeze Without you I couldn’t be happy Without you I couldn’t be blue Without you I couldn’t be anything 'cos I just couldn’t live without you Sometimes driving in my car I reach for your hand but you’re not there And I know I would soon be dying If that was the way it was always gonna be ‘Cos you lips are my drinking water And your eyes the air I breathe Without your love my baby I’d just be quivering in the breeze Without you I couldn’t be happy Without you I couldn’t be blue Without you I couldn’t be anything 'cos I just couldn’t live without you ’cos your touch is my heartbeat and your voice keeps me warm Without your love my baby I’d be shivering in the storm

I’ve been walking in the rain Cooled my brain Eased my pain Life is Easy I’ve been sleeping sound at night All those beasties put to flight Life is Easy I’ve been howling at the moon Gonna see my boy soon Life is Easy Life is Easy since he came Making pleasure just a game Life is Easy with my boy Because he is making sure Life is Easy I’ve been walking through dewed grass Smelt the flowers Burnt the past Life is Easy I’ve been looking in my soul Since he made my heart whole Life is Easy I’ve been dancing with my boy Dosi doe, twist and twirl Hey Rock ’n roll Life is Easy since he came Making pleasure just a game Life is Easy with my boy Because he is making sure Life is Easy

about

Go Birch image

Go Birch Bakewell, UK

I have been involved with music throughout my life, with a broad love of many genres, but I lean mostly to pop music. My writing reflects this, although in a fairly eclectic manner, but mainly I want to produce songs that highlight my lyrics.

Lyrics are my favourite part of a song. The music is the bonus that wraps everything up and creates the 3 minutes or so story in a dramatic way. ... more
