I could have been the scientist that made the great discovery I could have been a banker spending everybody’s money I could have a been a doctor and healed all the sick I could have been a politician winning votes with false promises But I chose something different, and I say with certainty That I’ve been doing it for so long it’s inseparable from me. Oh I could have been a fighter that began the revolution I could have been in business making profit from pollution I could have been a hero keeping all the people safe I could have been a baddie set to destroy the human race But I’m more sure than ever that I did the right thing. It’s why I wrote these words and with honesty I’ll sing I am not afraid to say that I, I don’t know what I’m doing with my life I took the road less travelled, made mistakes dressed up as fun But I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one I could have been a leader advocating peace and order I could have been a taxman making everybody poorer I could have been a genius building radical inventions I could have been a liar, gaining trust with bad intentions A few will ridicule this look at me just see waste. They’ll tell tales behind my back while I say this to their face I am not afraid to say that I, don’t know what I’m doing with my life, I took the road less travelled, made mistakes dressed up as fun. And all the time I did this I can’t say I ever won. I am not at all proud of the things I’ve done. But I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one. I am not afraid to say that, I don’t know what I’m doing with my life, I took the road less travelled, made mistakes dressed up as fun. But I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one Yeah I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one Yeah I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one

I’d like to take just a little moment to thank you for all the things you have done Without you life be really be different. Without you I wouldn’t be singing this song Laaalllaalalalalalla It’s not always easy for me to be me but if you’re being you, everything is so clear. I don’t know the words that describe how I feel or the happy look on my face when you are near Lalalalalalalalaaa There are others that came before you, but they don’t compare to you I hope that’s understood They may have moved on but you’re sticking by me, i hope you stick around for good Lalalalalalaalalalalala If you were all I had I’d know it couldn’t be that bad so I’d stop my complaining If I’ve got is you then there is nothing more to do and I need no further explaining So let me get back to the subject in question If you need an answer I’ll offer suggestions I can’t promise to make sense If you can’t understand me i guess it’s ok. I’ll go back and look for much easier way to say You pick me up when I’ve fallen down, you aways know the right thing to do You sing the song my sad heart has forgotten, and if you sing for me, I’ll sing for you. Lalalalalalaalalalalala Lalalalalalaalalalalala

Home 02:47
This neighbourhood is one of those places where People have love in their hearts and on their faces. Smiles go for miles though just from ear to ear. Open doors to remind you it’s good to be here Home, its good to be home Home We all know it’s good to get away, I’ll admit 24/7’s too long for me to stay I’ll spread my wings and things, get off the track But when I’m done, I’ve had enough it’s so good to get back Home, It’s good to be home Home, where’s there faces I know Home I was brought up and I did grow Home, my favourite place to go My memories of my old house come easily When I close my eyes I can picture it right in front of me I’m never sure why I left the place I knew so well I promise you now I wont forget that look, that sound that smell Home, It’s good to be home, Home, where there’s faces I know Home I was brought up and I did grow Home, my favourite place to go Somebody said there’s no place like home I am with them and I don’t think I’m alone No matter how far i am away Home is always where my heart will stay

I’ll work for you, I’ll dig my holes all day long and I won’t sleep. My holes are sometimes shallower than the next man’s but I can do things other men can only dream. With these hands With these hands I will give to you, with these hands. You push me further than anyone I’ve ever known and you make me smile wider than I thought I could. I’ve never called the same place home for very long but in you I’ve found somewhere to stay for good. With these arms With these arms I will hold you with these arms. We’ll make up for the bad days with the good but you’ll find me here no matter the situation I may stumble ever so slightly along the way but I I’ll fight for us till my final obligation. With this heart With this heart I will love you, with this heart. With this heart With this heart With this heart

Song For You 04:03
I know I'm crazy I may be slightly a mess but when I'm with you everything else matters less. All I wanna say is, I love you. So take you to Paris or fly you up to moon as long as you promise me you'll be home again soon. All I wanna say is I love you. It's falling asleep with you in my arms every night It's the way that you smile at me even after a fight. I promise you there's nothing else I'd rather do So there's no confusion, I wrote this song for you. I don't care if I'm crazy I don't care if I'm a slightly a mess but when I'm with you everything else matters less. All I wanna say is, I love you. All I wanna say is, I love you.

about

Although I've been writing and recording for a few years now, this is my first solo EP.

It's called Red Lorry after the Tongue Twister. I had a speech problem when I was younger and could not pronounce the letter "R". I thought it would be fitting to name the EP after the first part of something that changed me for the better.

The EP was recorded in about 7 days. By no means was this easy but it was fun. I must say a special thank you to Matt here for having at least one 24 hour period without sleep. What a legend. Thank you to my friend Eve Jones for designing the cover for the EP.

Finally, thank you to my friends and family (Elke especially) for enduring my company while this has been on my mind.
